    In the confronting documentary, Audrie & Daisy, film makers Bonni Cohn and Jon Shenk depict a completely biased and illusory stance on the aftermath of two teenage sexual assault victims. A range of conventions are expertly used, positioning the viewers to believe that the government and social media have, to an extent, influenced the victimization of Daisy Coleman, and the tragic suicide of Audrie Pott. Through the perpetuation of socio-cultural values and stereotypes inherent in American high schools, the employment of certain film techniques, specifically special effects, and a discerning use of language choices through editing, Cohn and Shenk have carefully manipulated the audience to sympathize and agree with their views regarding the…

    The phrase “New Wave” was a blanket term given to a materializing film movement in Europe in the late1950’s and 1960’s, mainly in France, Italy, and England where an abrupt manifestation of brilliant films emerged. This movement consisted of two groups of directors, the Cahiers , majorly consisting of critics turned filmmakers and the Left Bank who consisted of individuals who went straight into filmmaking. Jean-Luc Godard was within the Cahier division. In collaboration with Francois Truffaut, Godard’s highly acknowledged film Breathless became a poster film for the French New Wave and experienced critical and financial success that enabled the movement to flourish. “New Wave filming techniques depended on more than shooting quickly on location,…

    A rather depressing movie, “The Blue Kite” recalls the story of a small, poor family in China, in the 50’s and 60’s, during the hundred flowers movement, and the ‘cultural revolution’. We follow the family through various phases of their lives, starting from the 50’s, at the start of the communist regime. One could say the initially positive outlook in the Chinese community is visible in all the characters living in the compound. However, we see this positivity turn to discontent and a feeling of helplessness as the movie progresses through its chapters. This is very visible when in the beginning the neighborhood party representatives go and visit Ms. Lan’s house, asking if she has contributed to the state by giving assets.…

    Whenever one is startled, or caught off-guard, the innate human response is to either flee or fight. Most human brains are wired to run from danger.
