The movie I am analysing is Avatar (2009) it is directed and written by James Cameron who also co- produced the movie with Jon Landau , the music was provided by James Horner and the cinematography by Mauro Fiore . The movie grossed of 700 million in the United States alone while international it made over 2 billion making it the highest grossing film of all time. James Cameron began writing the movie in 1994 and was supposed to begin shooting it in 1997 after finishing his other movie titanic but according to him the necessary technology was not available for what he had in mind.
The segment which I have chosen to analyse is the first shot in the beginning on the movie, many people do not actually concentrate on the first minutes of movie

Two people then walk up to him as he is lying on the floor still in the puddle giving him the bad news about his brother's death.
The film language techniques used in this movie make it easy for even the most amateur of movie goers to analyse and guess what is going to happen especially using the different camera angles showing you things that do not need to be mentioned as you have already guessed what is or has happened such as the camera angle showing how weak Jake's legs are. The area in which Jake lives is clearly been designed to show a poor area with tagging and rubbish around not to mentioned the state of the houses which do not look well maintained.
Considering this is the 22nd century you have to feel like the current state of the world is much better and it makes you think is advancing technology at a quick pace really what needed is it more important than providing the basic necessities of life to those in need such as Jake. As we currently live in the 20th century the world is a much nicer place compared to the one Jake is living in, this negativity shows how you can lose control of your life when you suffer something as traumatic as

    Regarding the methodology, I chose this film to analyze because there is something deeper than just the surface problems of the characters. I first watched the movie when I was about 10-11 years old with my older brother, but I never really understood the significance behind it, until I was about 17. After that, I watched the film and listened to the soundtrack so many times that I did not need to take any notes on it, when it came to watching the film for the purpose of this essay. The 2005 film Rent, directed by Chris Columbus, is based on Jonathan Larson’s Broadway musical of the same name.…

    The film advances through various dialogues, attempts to tackle race issues, and comment on society yet it does aggregates to a predictable conclusion. Though it’s minimal, a degree of suspense can be attributed to certain scene lengths. Matt Drayton’s individual scenes tend to linger, he tends to battle himself, stepping into and out of the “shadow of doubt,” the editing creates the suspense. When he is the only character on screen, the scene lingers as his mind waivers. The editing is designed to mimic Mr. Drayton.…

    Heather Ostman’s article “The Sun Also Rises” from the Encyclopedia of the American Novel begins with an explanation of the book’s title. The Sun also Rises gets its name from Ecclesiastes, which is also quoted at the beginning of the book along with a quote from Gertrude Stein about the Lost Generation. Ostman notes that the connection of Ecclesiastes hopefulness with Stein’s hopelessness sustain the feeling of meaninglessness and alienation of the characters of the book following the Great War. In The Sun Also Rises as well as other books from the time period, love seems to fail time and time again, as relationships cannot be sustained or produce children. Love seems futile in this era, Ostman points out in this work as well as in T. S. Eliot’s…

    In the novel “The Sun Also Rises” , written by Ernest Hemingway, two of the major characters, Jake Barnes and Robert Cohn, share certain similarities but are extremely different at the same time. Both characters are exceptionally prominent in the novel and greatly contribute to the excitement of the plot.

Jake Barnes and Robert Cohn complete the story and help to keep the plot moving. Jake Barnes is the novel’s main character as well as narrator.…
