“SCREECH”, went Logan’s tires as they slid across the smooth black pavement of the street. “You ready yet?” he yells to me as I jump out the front door. “Yup” I replied. I hopped onto my bike and we headed downtown to the Voyager to go fishing. It was a warm summer day, and we were enjoying one of the first days of our summer vacation. We turned into the big black parking lot, crowded with cars. The sun was shining and the water was calm. There were a few cotton ball clouds in the sky and it was a perfect day. We pulled our fishing poles off the back of the back of our bikes and set them up with bait and hooks. We were ready to catch some fish. We cast our hooks into the clear, blue, sparkling water and waited for a bite. Eventually I got a nibble on my hook, then a tug. I had a fish so, I yanked on the line and reeled it in. Hanging from the end of my line was a rock bass. I removed the hook and threw the fish back in the water. After throwing the bass back in, we sat there for quite a while and caught nothing. Logan and I are bottomless pits so of course we were starving. We decided to go to Tim Hortons to buy some Timbits. We left our poles and headed across the street for donuts. After we ate our Timbits, we ran back to our poles only to find that we both had fish on our lines. So we reeled them in and again we had rock bass. “This is stupid”, I complained. “I agree”, Logan said. We wanted to catch something other than just rock bass. “Let's change…

than with you.” That is the kind of humor when you realize that one’s skills far surpass yours. People can make fun of theirs weaknesses through this humor. It can show that a human being does not take oneself too seriously. This can be a good way for people to like you, but there are times that self-deprecatory humor is not funny. For example, in a job interview you would not make a joke about yourself especially when you’re trying to impress others. It would be embarrassing to make a joke,…

cheap land and labor, the accessible scenery, and suitable climate ideal for the year-round filming. Each year Hollywood would release about 700 movies, dominating worldwide film production. A small group of companies such as Paramount and 20th Century Fox, dominated over the film industry. These companies owned their own production facilities, controlled theater chains committed to showing the companies’ movies, and even kept actors, directors, and screenwriters under contract. Soon after, the…

The author of our textbook states that “the freedom that Sartre discovers in phenomenology is much more radical than that found in everyday life by the person-in-the-street, and indeed Sartre argues that the goings-on of everyday experience disguise from us the depth of our freedom” (Palmer, 244-245). We have the choice as to whether or not to get up in the morning. Knowing that we must make this choice everyday takes the unease out of the equation. It is an everyday occurrence that covers…

Although, Chaplin’s talents are numerous we are going to concentrate on his acting performance in the “City Lights” film. In…

watch the films. This portion of the interview can be compared to lecture 7c when we learned about synchronous mass audience. In lecture it was discussed that mass synchronous audiences went hand in hand with “mass entertainment” and motion pictures and silent films were an extension of mass entertainment. The fact that people had to travel by ferry boat from different areas to all watch the same silent film could be an example of synchronous mass audiences that act and react together in one…

The silent cinema offers a treasure grove for the study of film acting. In the absence of sound, it shows performers constructing their respective characters by only using their bodies, not their voices. For this reason, silent cinema demands maximum expressiveness from actors. Rather than conveying their emotions by means of words, performers of the silent era knew how to express their feelings through gestures and facial expressions in such a manner that their feelings could be easily…

It is commonly believed that the only purpose comedy serves is to make people laugh. While that aspect of comedy is always enjoyable, the humor in these films usually have a deeper message. The restrictions that movies in the past have are no longer an issue for the films of today. This freedom has allowed movies today to take the social and political aspects of comedy to a whole new level. Films such as The Interview and White Chicks have taken the social and political implications from The…
