Barret. Spike Jonze and his team try to figure out how to build a future feel like present, so the movie would bring the audiences into the familiar world. When audiences hear about the science fiction movie, they want to see some fancy car, or some great technology, but they don 't know that those kind of stuff will distract the romance scenes. Instead of adding more outstanding things, Spike Jonze make it simple, he tries to create a clean setting, so love message can come to the audience 's mind easily. K.K.Barret says "I 'm always amused at how in sciene-fiction, show like "Star Trek," there are all these buttons and flashing lights. That never made sense to me. It seems to me like if you could you would just have direct communication with the computer." Directing communication with the computer helps the audience feel like those technology are alive, people nowadays can actually talk to a computer, a cell phone like they are talking to a peron, people will feel less autism. The distance between human and technology are even tighter such as Twombly and Samantha. This weird coupe can show to the world that love is unlimited, and it can be anything.

    It was an unfortunate story of a 6-year-old Kayla who was repeatedly beaten and abused by her dad. Her dad was severely brutal and abusive to this poor child that she appeared to have suspicious injuries such as broken nose, darkened circle around her eyes, bruises and cuts on her face, and frequent absences at school. I believe that the result of this traumatic experience of Kayla could have been prevented if adult individuals involved in this case were not negligent but more thoughtful and vigilant to suspicious signs and red flag. Although I only watched the film about Kayla McKean, which did not describe in depth about Florida’s regulation, relevant policies, and the work situations, I would like to share my opinion and reaction about what happened to Kayla. I certainly think that Kayla’s father and stepmother failed to protect this child as parents.…

    The Debut (2000) was a film presenting the positive aspects of the Filipino culture, using the real problems and relatable issues that teenagers face.

Director Gene Cajayon is from the Filipino agency and grew up in its heritage; this reflects on the films true use of Tagalog, traditions, relationships, and cultural values. What was particularly enjoyable was the scenes of dancing and singing that are accurate presentations of the Tinikling dance with string instruments.…

    The Goddess Film Analysis

    The Goddess (1934) is a silent film made by Wu Yonggang, a well-known Chinese director in the 1930s. Hailed as “a masterpiece of ‘the first golden age of Chinese cinema’”, the film marked not only Wu’s directorial debut, but also “the pinnacle of [Ruan Lingyu’s] career” (Harris, 128). Ruan’s “mature, nuanced performance”, which was “subtle but at the same time powerful and rich”, proved to be a major factor in the movie’s success and lasting impact in Chinese cinema – even inspiring Hong Kong director Stanley Kwan to produce Centre Stage (1992), a biopic of Ruan, over fifty years later (Harris, 128; Rayns, 18). This response will examine and show how the depiction of Ruan Lingyu by male directors in both The Goddess and Centre Stage make use…
