    Blazing Saddles Mel Brooks: The Auteur Theory

    The Auteur Theory, is the idea that the true author of a film is the director. The director leaves an implicit remark on the film and because of this cinematic, literary, or thematic signature, they are credited as the author of the film. While there are numerous people involved in the production of a film, with some directors it is truly prominent who can be described as the author of the film. Mel Brooks, renown comical director and screenwriter is one instance of the undeniability of the Auteur Theory. Despite Mel Brook’s complete involvement in his films, writing, co-writing, directing, and even starring in many of his films, the cinematic and thematic consistencies in his works truly represent his authority and creative signature on…

    Singin In The Rain History

    The iconic work of Gene Kelly and Stanley Donen, the directors of Singin’ in the Rain, has last for over 60 years. Produced by Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer (MGM) and released in April of 1952, Singin’ in the Rain showcases the talents of Gene Kelly, Donald O’Connor, and Debbie Reynolds. This musical motion picture provides a comedic take on the transition that occurred in the 1920s when motion pictures switched from silent films to talking motion pictures. This transition was hard for some actors and actresses in Hollywood which can be seen throughout this motion picture. Not only is Singin’ in the Rain about the difficulties in transitions but also the romance of the city and fame.…

    What Is The Auteur Theory In Psycho

    In 1960, Hitchcock’s film Psycho tested the strict censorship boundaries still in place through the Motion Picture Production Code of the day with its shocking acts of violence, and provocative sexual nature, which was altogether the like of which audiences had never seen. In 1998, Gus Van Sant took Hitchcock’s iconic film, to both critics and audiences accused the film of being a modern duplicate rather than a remake, negating it to a waste of effort, and while both films contain duplicated scenes, and similar scripts, the distinct difference yet to be addressed in detail, is each director’s influence over their film, an element film theorist’s define as the auteur theory. Through this opportunity, the chance to compare these two films…

    Restricted Narration In Hitchcock's Psycho

    Peter Greenaway, author of Defining Narrative, studied narrative structure in films, explaining varying narratives. Within this analyzation, Greenway addresses the 1960 adaptation of Psycho. “Hitchcock makes masterful use of restricted narration, preventing the audience from learning one critical aspect of Norman's story-the true nature of his relationship with his mother-until the end of the film.” (Greenway 82). Although present in a majority of the film, three significant examples will be analyzed how restricted narration in Hitchcock's Psycho, works effectively in film.…

    The Philadelphia Story: Katharine Hepburn

    I was raised in a suburb of Philadelphia, where Katharine Hepburn’s presence around Bryn Mawr has been preserved to a certain extent. Consequently, I always had an idea of who she was without actually knowing anything about her. In a way she was the first “great” Hollywood star that I could recognize and I can remember my mom telling me that she was, “Diane Keaton before Diane Keaton.” Only now do I understand what she meant by that statement. This all lead me to sit down and watch The Philadelphia Story one night in October when I had nothing else planned.…

    Annie Hall Film Analysis

    Annie Hall, directed by, written by and starring Woody Allen follows the life of Alvy Singer, a neurotic New-Yorker. Throughout the movie, he narrates his experiences as he ponders on the meaning of life and his failed relationship with Annie. The intellectual but comedic urban romance marked a turning point in Allen’s career earning him an Academy Award for Best Picture in 1977. Yet, this paper focuses on his counterpart played by Diane Keaton and how her performance shaped both the story’s direction and its reception by the audience. It is argued that in an eponymous and partially autobiographical motion picture, Diane Keaton’s subtle and natural portrayal of Annie Hall, a free-spirited ingénue, steals the spotlight away from Woody Allen’s…
