Cruzan v. Director

Myths are written and spoken throughout history as a way for us to view how people of the past experienced the reality they lived in. In film, myths have been extensively adulterated with the use of computer-generated imagery. However, in some cases there are movies that use myths and symbolism to create imagery. The audience becomes actively engaged through a psychological connection with the use of archetypes (Chang et al., 2013). The movie Babadook is an example of an archetypal symbolism.…

In my second year of medical school, I took up the opportunity to become a leader by establishing a charitable organization at my university. With the help of a few executive board members that I put together, I was able to start up a chapter on my campus of one of the world’s largest, student driven, nonprofit, medical missions’ organization known as Global Brigades. I thought of the idea, while I was pondering about joining a medical fraternity. The organization’s online ad had shown up on my…

I will be talking about the movie itself with a quick plot summary of what happens, next I’ll be moving on to the context of the film from the directors point of view down to the audiences, the convergence of Ichi from a manga to a live action movie, production and directors’ stylistic views on gore and hypermasculinity, East vs Western perceptions of the Asian culture and finally how it became a cult movie in both Asia and the Western world.

J,K Rowling’s book Harry Potter and the Philosopher’s Stone was eventually adapted into a film in 2001 by the Warner Bros. Pictures. While the movie itself was very well-received at the box-office and by the critics, there were several differences seen when compared to the book. The introduction was concise when compared to the book. The book started off mentioning Harry’s life with the Dursleys in a great amount of detail including the part where the Harry visits the zoo with the Dursleys along…

The Hollywood limelight is such a competitive place, unfortunately, some people who actually have what it takes to make it big, don't get their chance simply because, there are some who are really just more famous, but just because they're famous, doesn't mean they're exceptionally talented. When people talk about great actors, they would immediately think of Tom…

Paper Towns: Book vs Movie I’ve chosen to write about the differences between the book Paper Towns and the movie, basically what they didn’t include and what they changed in the film adaption. Personally I would say that I prefer the book before the movie, because the book is obviously more detailed and you get to read about the character's backstory and get to know them better. The author, who co-produced the film, made a video on youtube where he talked about the fact that the movie will be…

A general misperception is that when movies that are based on a novel, or graphic novel, are made with have the same storyline, characters and archetypes. However, it is my humble opinion that movies made from books are drastically different to the original. The graphic novel Coraline was written by Neil Gaiman. As it was extremely popular, it’s no wonder, Henry Selick later turned it into a movie. There are so many different literary devices in the two versions that it provides an opportunity…
