The colors of the seven rooms are just too juicy a detail not to mean something, aren't they? The black and blood red room seems so obviously to represent death, shouldn't the other rooms mean something too? A lot of commentators have thought that, and there is something of a general agreement among many of them about the meaning of the rooms. Supposedly, the suite is an allegory of human life. Each room, in other words, corresponds to a different "stage" of human life, which its color suggests…

"had a specific goal for the use of brands in the films", Bob Gale told reporters; "brand names create a certain kind of reality" (Ayers, 2015). That should be the goal of product placement. The film used Nike and Pepsi in all three 'Back to the Future' films which enriched the movies' plots and were a relevant and natural fit with the characters and their adventures through past, present, and future decades. They were not just placed in the films but they were an intricate part of the…

For years the spotlight has been on the men of the film industry, but even back in the silent era women filmmakers were creating impressive pieces of art that surpassed many of the more “important” male directed movies. From Lois Weber’s Suspense (1913) to Ida Lupino’s Not Wanted (1949) female directors have made films that focus on women and the unexpected plights that life brings. While watching these two films it’s interesting to see how the men are portrayed, which includes the male…

With this great power, comes even greater responsibility. Those who dictate what is aired on TV has the ability to decide whose voices will and…

The following essay will compare the cinematic language of the two Western classics Stagecoach (John Ford, 1939) and The Good, the Bad and the Ugly (Sergio Leone, 1966) while analyzing the claim that both film respectably are pioneers of the Western genre during their times proven on the basis of their original work in editing and narrative, and its influence on other filmmakers.

While creating my “big triangle” I had never realized how drastically styles, especially comics, depict people. Scott McCloud focuses on how we are able to recognize and see human faces even in basic depictions, such as his example of a circle with two eyes and a line for a mouth. Thus, in comics this allows a ton of variety in the degrees of realism and expressionism, which is why so many styles exist, especially regionally. Though it was occasionally hard for me to find an appropriate example…

In English class we read and watched The Secret Life of Walter Mitty, which is written by James Thurber. There were many things in this book that were different but there were a few you could compare. One thing that amazed me the most, is that the book and the movie both star Walter Mitty and his daydreams. In the book he daydreams while he does his daily tasks, but in the movie he actually goes on adventures and tries to save his job. Expanding on my theory of daydreams I believe that these are…
