Fog and glittering lights showed in the background and a witch looks down on the city from above as if she is gazing into a crystal ball (the moon). In the middle of all this wizardry, there is another collision: a love triangle. There are two men standing in the streets and a woman in the middle dressed like a princess. The most interesting collision of all, however, is the eye in the middle of the poster that is staring at the audience. This eye starts from right under the chin of the witch and above the fog below in a circle curved around the poster. The moon can be seen as the retina and the dragon the iris (Enchanted). The movie poster seems to be selling a story that in which the animated and the real world crash together (this can be seen with the presence of a witch, a princess, a prince and all of this happening is in a modern city), but upon further inspection the movie poster is selling a more subtle kind of

    The films that I’m focusing on for class were Winter’s Bone and The Social Network. The topic that I’m focusing on is how even though the main characters of these films are relatively the same age and they both come across problems throughout but Mark is much more capable of accessing his resources so he’s able to overcome the obstacles. This problem appears in life all around us also. People are faced with challenges in all types of social classes but the people with more money and resources are able to overcome them in an easier way compared to people living in poverty. Also another theme that comes up in these movies is gender roles, and that people look at them differently will treat Mark and Ree in different manners based on their sex.…

    Conflict among cultures results in this sense of discomfort in people that makes them ponder whether they are welcomed into society or not. Conflict between cultures also creates incorrect representations of cultures. In media and TV especially, some cultures take on a negative role in a movie rather than the main antagonist being a person or an organization. Lake says in An Indian Father’s Plea that Wind-Wolf always asks “why the white people hate us so much and always kill our people in the movies and why they take everything away from us”. Now the argument could be made that movie like this are historical movies that are supposed…

    Many films throughout history, have not only illuminated some culture’s shortcomings but the strength and ability to deviance in hopes of attaining meritocracy. It is within the arts, films, music and literature that are produced by a culture that researchers can identify the evolution of change from analyzing the micro symbolic interactionism between individuals to the social consensus in the functionalist theory that produces an organic solidarity. Each of these theoretical paradigms allow one the ability to change perspectives in order to deduce how values and norms are modified. Although each theoretical theory can be applied to the film, “The Blind Side” it is while utilizing the macro conflict theory, that social inequality is seen to…

    In conclusion, through Bluestone’s theories, film adaptations from text will never be the same. There will always be one factor or the other that causes it to be different. It is first and foremost a different art form and one that is very different. Moreover, art has always derived from other art source.
