Bertolt Meyer is a professor at the Chemnitz University of Technology, though some might recognize him as Frank, the world's first real bionic man and star of the popular documentary "The Incredible Bionic Man," which premiered on the Smithsonian channel in October, 2013. Not only was Bertolt the host of the documentary, the bionic man's face was modeled after a 3D scan of Bertolt's face.

    Challenge surrounds Caleb (Domhall Gleeson) in the fictional sci-fi movie Ex Machina. He is invited to the secluded home of Nathan (Oscar Issac), an IT god, to conduct a Turing test with a robot, Ava (Alicia Vikander).

    In conclusion, the latest film ‘Dawn of the Planet of the Apes’ (2014) has advanced in motion picture (CGI), which made the film more realistic and fitted into pop culture. It also captured audience’s eyes in some scenes and brought to light modern society conditions relating to human corruptions. The original ‘Planet of the Apes’ (1968) script structure was not creditable and lost interest throughout the storyline, such as visual effects (CGI) and lack of performance, which lead to a parody genre film rather then being a serious science fiction genre film. There were also some unneeded characters and other storytelling methods to present the narrative because it bored the audience and made it more of a Mockumentary. The twist conflict at the…

    "No Country For Old Men" and "Back to The Future 3" I personally think that the movies "No Country For Old Men" and "Back to The Future 3" have many similarities. On the other hand, they also have quite a few differences. For example, they both represent a change in time, the main characters go through a dramatic life changing moment, finally, they both have to do right morally and ethically. Some differences are, corruption was involved in one of the movies and not the other, one movie shows justice or a higher law and, the final difference is, the power located within the movies. The first main theme in both of these movies is, they both represent changing in times.…

    Pac Man Film Analysis

    Sean Penn (Pac Man) took both functionalist and conflict perspectives. Examples from the movie to support my thinking on why Pac Man took the functionalist perspective is, because he believed that everyone needed to follow the laws and respect the police whom were a high power and with the respect of this power everything would run smoothly and the police would get the gang members and drug dealers off the streets. I do not think his approach as a functionalist perspective was effective because no one on the streets took him serious and all hated him for the most part. Therefore, they we’re not going to respect him but make a mockery of him. Examples of him taking the Conflict perspective is his racist attitude towards the minority people…

    Bigger than Life is a film that was directed by Nicholas Ray in 1956. It is a critique of social constructs in American society masked as a film about the dangers of drug addiction.

The film revolves around a father and a schoolteacher, Ed Avery, who is diagnosed with a terminal illness. His only hope, according to his doctors, is to take a new, experimental medication: cortisone.…

    The Strange Cases of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde in Fiction and Film Robert Louis Stevenson’s novella Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde (1886) and the film adaptation, Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde (2003), directed by Maurice Phillips, are accounts of the same story but told differently. Stevenson’s novella, as well as Phillips’ film version, follows a respected English physician and scientist named Dr. Henry Jekyll as he secretly struggles to suppress his dark side, and the experiments he conducts to separate his good nature from the evil that festers in his mind. Dr. Jekyll, however, unintentionally creates a separate being comprised solely of his pure evil nature, known as Mr. Edward Hyde, who controls Jekyll’s mind and body and produces an independent existence for himself. As each version of the story begins its own path, the book with a lengthy description of Utterson, a lawyer with a seemingly unfriendly personality but undying loyalty for his friends, and the movie with a monologue from Dr. Jekyll, they both…

    When someone uses the term “prosthetics”, what is the first thing to come to mind? Is it an advanced robotic arm, or a simple plastic prosthetic hand, no more complicated than a mannequin’s? These shouldn’t necessarily be such opposites, but it is almost certainly true that the latter is more common than the former. Prosthetics have come an extremely long way since their induction. Pirates and peg legs tend to give us a reminder of how far we’ve come since the dark times where a prosthetic was a scrap of wood or metal where a fully functional hand should be.…
