1997 in film

a 47% from one week ago, the film has maintained relevancy in the face of potential disaster. The film, starring Alexander Skarsgård, is far from being out to the woods, though, - having only…

In the film “The Hurricane” directed by Norman Jewison, the main theme is imprisonment. The theme focuses on not only physical imprisonment but also imprisonment of our mind through misconceptions and internal conflict. Norman also displays the willpower it takes to overcome these types of imprisonment. Norman uses a range of symbolism, shots and dialogue to help the audience to not only understand and relate to the themes and ideas but also the overarching message of the film, to never give up…

Creation of Emotion in The Hunger Games While we watch movies, we are made to feel different emotions. This is because all directors have a goals to entertain and connect with the audience. To do this, directors use different aspects of film to connect the audience to the characters on-screen. In The Hunger Games, director Gary Ross evokes variations of sadness and discomfort to connect viewers to the characters through music, sound, and character emotion. In the next few paragraphs, I will…

draw attention to the duty that every citizen has to the state. I think that although the film is not overtly fascist, that it has a lot of fascist themes and undertones that allow it to be qualified as a fascist film. I think that the choice of a lowly shepherd from Sicily as the main character suggests that Blasetti wanted to appeal to the everyday man and women. As far as instilling patriotic sentiments, a film where Garibaldi is the main character would have achieved the same results.…

The film I watched this week was Marvel’s Doctor Strange, a comic book adaptation of the famed Doctor Strange character created by Stan Lee and Steve Ditko. This film was about an extraordinary surgeon known as Doctor Stephen Strange who loses the ability to utilize his hands and seeks help to regain the ability to be a surgeon in many ways finally being forced to seek the help of a mysterious being known as The Ancient One. In doing so, Stephen Strange gains many new abilities that change him…

The expectations about Suicide Squad were high as the offbeat movie of anti-heroes, but it turned out to be much below the mark. The anti-heroes failed to terrorize and were more of an eyesore. Some characters need a special mention. Killer Crocs did not seem to be villainous enough and one can hardly bear him on the screen for long. Slipknot’s on screen presence was not felt at all as his role was just that while escaping he gets caught by the Special Forces. Boomerang appeared to be more of…

The idea of zombies has been around for longer than you would think. The original idea of zombies came from Haitian Voodoo. The Haitian Priests wanted to resurrect the dead by using dark magic. When a person annoys his or her community too much, they hire a priest to zombify him or her. The priest would make him drink a deadly poison from the porcupine fish. The person who drank the poison heart rate would slow almost to a stop, he would breathless and his body temperature would dramatically…

I found the video to be insightful and interesting. For instance, when I first saw that two therapists could have been overwhelming for a family but it seemed helpful. What I learned from the video is that object relations theory focuses on the internal unconscious relationships that people have that is different from their external relationships. I think this was shown in the video when the family did not address their feelings about the death Victor. The family rarely discussed the loss of…

could happen?” Fortunately, there are few films out there that have a very deep meaning to others. To others, they are just more than movies. What they watch allows them to keep on believing and always work for their dreams. The film “Secretariat” has a universal message and a very strong impact on the viewer. The difference between a movie that entertains people and a movie that sends a message to people is that there is a certain meaning in the film. In many action movies, there is no…

There are many versions of W.W. Jacobs’ famous horror short story, “The Monkey’s Paw”; however, it is debatable on which adaptation did a better job at creating suspense. In the video adaptation of” The Monkey’s Paw”, the suspenseful mood of the plot is greatly enhanced through the use of specific details throughout the backstory, provides hints about what is to happen next, and as a result allows the audience to use their imagination. Throughout the video version of “The Monkey’s Paw”,the…
