Metamorphosis Movie Analysis

Improved Essays
The film, Metamorphosis, gave me a wide array of emotion. It was quite interesting to sit back and look at from a such a non-judgmental perspective, it was also quite a lot to absorb.

Yet, they were all joined with a common purpose, to experience a transformation in their lives, to complete a metamorphosis. These individual variations within the group made the video was appealing to watch as a sociology major.

    Another great example for production design in science fiction movies is the movie Ex Machina. To begin with, production design includes the design of sets which makes set design one of the most important aspects while producing a movie. For example, one of the points set design deals with is the location where the film is going to be shot. Funderburg (2015) explained that in the movie Ex Machina, they used two Norwegian locations both designed by the architects Jensen & Skodvin. One of the locations is a private mansion and the second one is the Juvet Landscape Hotel, which consists of single suites secretly linked to the fjord and forest around them (para. 2).…

    When European immigrants began traveling to the Americas not only did they believe it was Asia, per Columbus’s ventures, they believed the land was free to take. There was this preconceived notion of land among Europeans that land was personal property, used for economic & material needs…or wants. Lands that weren’t being actively controlled or used for things like agriculture, resource extraction, industry, or homesteads were fair game to take and anyone could use it for whatever they pleased. Their Native American counterparts, did not see land as something that could be “owned” but communally used and there were rights granted amongst themselves to which tribes could hunt, reside, and grow there. Access to the lands were closely linked…

The Indian people felt as though their land, in which they owned, was a good source for hunting, while the settlers thought it was a good idea to expand the nation 's territory. Reaching no concluded agreement, the white settlers came up with an alleged theory, that, in so many words, the whites were the superior and the non-whites were the inferior; and the inferior had no rights to own any land, and therefore the whites…

    When the Europeans first tried to move into the present day United States of America, it was a time of great change for the Native Americans. Many of the Native American tribes had never come in contact with the Europeans before, and many knew that the life they used to live would not be available to them anymore. While the two groups may have started off being eery of one another, the attitude between the two group definitely deteriorated over time: the Native Americans felt that the Europeans stole their land, the Europeans felt that the Native Americans were to be killed, but there were some Europeans that felt that the Native Americans had suffered enough. The Europeans’ main goals in coming to the present day United States of America was to take land and to use it as a way to make money. However the land that they were using belonged to the Native Americans, thus leaving them to starve while taking advantage of their land.…

    The film Hearts and Minds is a documentary made by Peter Davis in 1974 to portray America’s unethical involvement in Vietnam and examine the opinions of many by showing interviews and vivid footages.

However, those who were opposed to the war felt that there was no right or reasonable justification for their actions. The real issue illustrated by the film was whether the U.S. wanted to protect the country from communism or to manifest its greatest power in the world by winning another war.…
