In 1997’s film "Soul Food," I was excited to see a movie that didn't represent an American family by typical ruins. " Soul Food" is a triumph because it never loses sight of the importance of family, even as its family members transgress and quarrel. The storyline focuses on the lasting influence of the family matriarch (played wonderfully by Irma P. Hall), Big Mama. Her kindhearted and wise soul holds the family together. When she dies due to complications of diabetes, her daughters must overcome their disparities to maintain the family.…

How does Roberto Benigni convey the theme of unbreakable family values in the film Life is Beautiful?

Benigni uses framing, sound and screenplay to effectively convey the strong and conquering theme of family throughout Life is Beautiful.…
This movie deals with the identity of being Native American and how Hollywood has been a double-edged sword in its portrayals of Natives. The movie starts off as showing how Native Americans were more the “background” of the movies throughout America’s history.…
From Disney Pixar comes Up, a comedy adventure about 78-year-old ballon salesman Carl. The sometimes grumpy elderly old man Carl wants to fulfill his lifelong dream of visiting South America. He ties thousands of balloons to his house and flies away to the wilderness but discovers all too late that his biggest nightmare has latched himself along for the ride: an overly optimistic 8-year-old named Russell.

Erikson’s psychological theory of development described development as occurring in eight discrete stages across a person’s lifespan.…

This film wasn't the more common forms of film.…
The time travel paradox or simply temporal paradox is a self contradictory argument in which time and space contradict each other and challenge destiny. A paradox is a self-contradicting idea that is logically unacceptable because there is no logic explanation to prove it. There are two types of temporal paradoxes: the causal loop and the grandfather paradox; each of them have the same basis, but have subtle differences. The movie “12 Monkeys” is built around a causal loop that enters in the subgenera of a self-fulfilling prophecy. This specific genre of the time travel paradox is based on the fact that an event in the future affect events of the past that will later on affect the future making an inconsistent logic of unexplainable relation of time and space.…
It highlights some of the hardships the youth have to deal with. Also, it gives an insight into the train of thought of some of the very unfortunate who have to face death or the prospect of losing their lives on a day to day basis. Very important topics, such as the youth, society, family, race and how bureaucracy may limit some less than fortunate to name a few, are dissected in the film. It gives context and different points of view on a similar subject in order to show the motives behind the actions these young adults had to take in high…
Thirty minutes of play of Zhang Yimou’s “Hero,” I watched two characters, Flying Snow with Moon, hanging blade to blade as if through mystical powers surrounded with spinning colorful leaves. This incredibly lovely scene, decorated in untainted color, shot like a fantasy poetry, and dramatized like angels’ dance, it is unbelievable to be a fight. It is more similar to a swordplay pleasure (Harrison 570). This is the loveliest scene ever filmed and among the spectacles that the film gives to the audience who must be ready to be amazed.…

In the film, there are two examples of Utilitarianism. The first relates to Bentham’s theory of greatest happiness. The seven-man squad is walking through the French countryside and walks upon a few dead American soldiers.…
The main topic of this movie, "first Do No Harm" was that the doctor should always put the patient first and have their best interest. This applies whether the solution be, using drugs and surgeries, or trying other things to keep them more safe. Sometimes the drugs can do more harm than help, and in Robbie's case, the harm came into play. Robbie was having seizures, which means something was going on, incorrectly, in the brain (which is part of the nervous system).…
Another type of relation interested Wong and Tsai is the family relation, but I would consider Wong view family relation higher than Tsai as almost every family in The Fallen Angles are directly presented. Wong tries to film a change of family construction into a new family model. In Ho’s family, it shows an incomplete family where there is an absence of the mother. Sato’s family is a family where its members do not live together, so Sato cannot celebrate his son’s important birthday. Yet the film’s passion lies on its suggestion of possibilities – Sato may go back Japan one day to reunite with his family as said in the videotape.…
