Actor-network theory

Directed by Stanley Donen and Gene Kelly, this classic was one of the most iconic films in the musical genre. Alongside directing, Kelly (Don Lockwood) acted in this film with other great actors such as Donald O’Connor, Debbie Reynolds (Kathy Selden), and Jean Hagen (Lina Lamont). Set in 1927 Hollywood, two silent film actors, Kelly and Hagen, always have roles in which they are in love, but Hagen does not like Kelly. After meeting Debbie Reynolds, Hagen falls in love. These two…

We’ve all seen the movies; a kid from the projects grows up, overcomes his background, and lives out his dream of playing professional sports. These movies have the unique ability to both move people, and inspire them at the same time. Often, they can even bring people to tears. Maybe, that’s why the story of Kevin Durant resonates so strongly with listeners. After winning the 2013-14 MVP award in the NBA, Durant delivered arguably the greatest acceptance speech ever. However, to truly…

As nerve racking as auditions were, waiting for the cast list to be published may be worse. You may feel as though time itself was slowing down, stretching itself out over the entire week. Tensions during the school day grows and you start eying the other auditioners suspiciously, had they stolen your ideal role? Calm down, cast lists aren’t written in a day, and not everyone can be a lead role. Luckily, you probably don’t have to worry about whether you snag a role or not; West Delaware rarely…

character, and to look at him is to hate him--that is, hate the character. Sure, Antonio lends his handsome face and physique to this guy, but we know he's the wrong guy for our lovely heroine. Antonio is no stranger to the Hallmark channel and other networks, and chances are that you will have seen him in at least one of his varied roles (maybe you remember him in Hats Off to Christmas or Love at the Thanksgiving Day Parade). Antonio's character has to pull a few shady deals out of his…

watching the film I was very much so wrong. From the cinematographers point of view to the actors and even the plot everything was well done. The chemistry between the actors was very genuine and realistic. The main character played by Adepero Oduye did a very a good job. Oduye depicted the struggle of trying to figure out her sexuality in a realistic matter. Often times in movies about homosexulity the actors can sometimes be very dramatic and not believable especially if they are not gay. But…

My favorite actress, Alicia Vikander, is a Swedish actress who was nominated for the 2016 Academy Award. She is one of the new rising stars in Hollywood. Because of her outstanding performance in the latest film, The Danish Girl, Alicia is getting more and more recognition and finally won her first nomination for the best supporting role, even though she had to go up against many big stars like Kate Winslate, Rachel McAdams and Roony Mara. Although . I really admire her because of her touching…

Method acting is an incredible tool for actors to be successful. It’s not to say that all other techniques are bad, but for an actor to be truly successful in their career they need to find the acting technique that fits them best. Acting is an amazing profession not only what it does for individuals and their careers but, what it does for billions of people all around the world. It almost seems like everyone has nine to five jobs that take so much out of them whether it be physically or…

Brian Klugman and Lee Sternthal make their directorial debut in the 2012 romantic drama The Words, starring Bradley Cooper, Dennis Quaid, Zoe Saldana, Olivia Wilde, and Jeremy Irons ("The Words"). Unfortunately for the audience, the starpower of this film can not make up for the unnecessarily complex plot and disappointingly anticlimactic finish. The story begins with Clayton Hammond (Dennis Quaid) reading his new book, The Words to an audience. The book focuses on the protagonist Rory…

Actors perform roles for an audience in different ways. They may use speech, body movement, and hand gestures. They can perform in a variety of genres, such as dramas, comedies, or thrillers. They may appear in films, on television, or live on stage. Acting can be a fun and rewarding job, but it is very competitive. Most actors go to many auditions, even though they will not get a lot of those roles. To prepare for auditions, actors are required to memorize scripts and get into character. After…

the community that is formed by a cast. All cast members are supposed to act the way they think their character would act. An aspect of this is the intrapersonal relationships they must understand between their characters and other characters. The actor playing the Phantom, in The Phantom of the Opera, has to have an intrapersonal relationship with Christine, Raoul, Carlotta, Madame Giry and many other cast members/characters. However, as with the personal understanding of the character, the…
