An Actor Prepares

As usual, I had to a do a little research to discover who played some of the minor characters, and I did ascertain that while this cast has some notable and recognized professionals, there are also several outstanding newcomers. Thankfully, all the actors and actresses work together to make this another of my favorites of the holiday season. In fact, at the end of this film, I declared that this is unmistakably my kind of film. No stranger to the screen, Deborah gives a blissfully magnificent…

more realistically uncanny tone, but the actors were affected by the unearthly scenes as well. They were able to develop a closer relationship with their characters by being surrounded with what they 'd be encountering every day. Producer Michael Douglas is quoted in Axmaker 's review by announcing, "We got so involved that some of the actors actually took on the psychotic problems of the patients they played" (Axmaker par.5). This connection between the actors allowed for the characters to be…

Latin Lovers, is based in Brazil where the handsome Latino charms the main character. These detrimental stereotypes are harmful because it overlooks the individuality of a person. It also inhibits personal growth and lessens self-motivation of the actor. They will not be motivated to continue their career. The industry traps the Latino culture in the bodies of Hispanics. Hollywood only focuses on their looks without regarding the culture they come from. Tanisha Ramirez states, “In essence, this…

The instruments present all belong to the String family; Cello, Violin, Viola and the Double Bass are all present in the Scene. This creates a very peculiar sound, no Brass instruments to create the usual ‘Noise’ affiliated with action and no Woodwind to soften the sound and calm things down. The sound is very rough, the high, screeching Violins create excitement as the action becomes more frenzied, so do the Violins. Each knife blow is accompanied by ‘screams’ by the high violins. This goes on…

Casting is a vital part of creating a movie and the director must be involved in the process to bring his or her vision to life. In the case of some movies any actor who fits a general type will be able to fulfill a director’s vision, but in other cases there is only one actor who will work in the role. Both of these situations are reflected in the casting of the protagonists in The Drop and Spy. The movie Spy without the casting of Melissa McCarthy would have lost the impact of the majority of…

thoroughly describe the feat of acting. Acting is not all there is to being an actor. There are various trials and competitions such as auditions and casting calls to go through prior to even being able to capture a job. After that, having the title of “actor” means hours devoted to memorizing lines and cues (Encyclopedia of Careers, 16). All this is still only the surface of all the actions that must be taken to really be an actor. Acting displays a mixture of various skills including…

The Actors Society is constituted by human beings. Although sociologists seldom endow agency to individuals, they still describes some of the actions of the actors in their works. The two theorists here are French theorists, who have tendency toward bestowing less agency to the actors as most French theorists do. However, their discussion cannot lose the part of actors if they want a whole picture instead of a partial one. In my view, albeit Durkheim and Foucault are similar at putting less…

age? There’s an ever-increasing gap between the age of the actors/actresses that play teenage roles in television and it’s actually a problem we need to address. A big topic in today’s world is how teenagers view themselves, their bodies, and how television sets these unrealistic notions about what a fourteen year old may look like. The critical media analysis I am going to be discussing is related to the ages and diversity of the actors and actress’s television shows hire to play teenagers.…

audience member. Instead, this play had concepts of body changing and to me there was not a single main actor the entire time. By changing who the play revolved around through this body changing, the writer was able to have themes of the difficulty of finding one’s true self and the agony that comes with this journey. Examples of this theme can be seen through all of the characters since every actor had their own chance of spotlight when they had their opportunity of being Margo Vail or Arthur.…

While I have been a When Calls the Heart fan from Day One, I sometimes lose track of the actors who were a part of the cast in seasons one and two. Thankfully, I am connected with a superb network of Hearties who keep me abreast of such things, and recently, that is exactly what happened. Katelyn Meger, the actress who is fondly remembered as Rachel from When Calls the Heart, has matured into a lovely, young lady whose star is quickly on the ascent. Not too long ago, I had the supreme honor of…
