The Atomic Cafe Pros And Cons

Decent Essays
I feel that the filmmakers of The Atomic Cafe were trying to show the viewers that the U.S. Government was not being truthful about the atomic bomb and its side effect. The military people involved in dropping the atomic bomb were never told that it was the Atomic Bomb. Paul Tibbets one of the pilots who dropped the atomic bomb was not right after the drop, he called himself a derelict because of a guilty conscience. He stated "my part in this thing may well have something to do with later or now that the U.S. Government might look at some what with a guilty complex." (10:05)

The Filmmakers used all different types of music, in the opening scene you hear a mysterious, spooky and sad instrumental all in one. In my opinion this was

    When it comes to the technical aspects of Dr. Strangelove, no two are more important than the sound/music and the framing. The music and sound included in the film play an incredibly important role in guiding the audience from scene to scene and signaling shifts in mood as well as increases/decreases in tension. For example, each time that Major Kong and his men on the B-52 are reintroduced, the patriotic theme (the tune of which is a play on When Johnny Comes Marching Home Again) aptly named Bomb Run is played. Also, at the very end of the film, clips of the doomsday bomb exploding are played alongside Vera Lynn’s…

    A Music Difference Music is personal and full of emotions. Therefore everyone has their own opinion on what is considered a good music genre. As for movies and their soundtrack albums overall, a great movie soundtrack comes down to the theme it creates, how it moves people emotionally, the use of songs with lyrics or without lyrics, and the use of covers or remixes. Composers like Theodore Shapiro use music to make movies more alive and have a deeper impression. Shapiro used his talent as a music director to make a memorable soundtrack for the movie The Secret Life of Walter Mitty making it number 57th on best sold movie soundtracks on Amazon and 39th on iTunes.…

    The writer says “military analysts insist that Japan was on its knees and the bombings were simply unnecessary. The American government was accused of racism on the grounds that such a device would never have been used against white civilians”. Thus saying, it is said that Japan was planning to surrender, the United States dropping the atomic bomb was just an extreme, making it assumed that the United States are the terrorists of the attack. The writer also states “other critics argued that American diplomats had ulterior motives. The Soviet Union had entered the war against Japan, and the atomic bomb could be read as a strong message for the Soviets to tread lightly.…

    Ravenous has a lot of black comedy elements that I missed when I saw it in theaters back in 1999. It's strange what seventeen years can do to your perspective. Regardless Ravenous is a great film no matter how you cut and didn't deserve the large amount of negative reviews it got upon its release. The black comedy and satirical elements are laid on a bit thick in place, but it's those elements that's really made Ravenous hold up over time. That and it's loosely based on elements of both the Donner Party and Alferd Packer.…

    As a historical drama, it revolves around events that happened in the past. Therefore, the special effects in this movie was not as prominent compared to a sci-fi movie. Most of the tracks included in the soundtrack were written by Alexandre Desplat, a French film composer. As a musician, I would say the most outstanding tracks were by Beethoven even if the movie only included one or two tracks of his work. The background music fit the scenes as perfect as a glove.…
