FernGully is a tale of how humans destroy and release danger into the world and care nothing about it. Even though FernGully is a fictional movie, there are still a lot of real world points it brings up. There are many references to real world problems and actions throughout the movie mixed in with cartoon antics to mix fun into the movie as well. In FernGully, the first thing we hear about a human is through Batty. Batty is a bat who escaped the humans after he was tested on. The humans put…

When thinking about what interests me Netflix’s is the first thing that comes to my mind, so when having to apply analytics to a real-world business I thought this would be great for me to look into. Netflix’s was first created for online movie rentals in 1997 by Reed Hastings and Marc Randolph but it has grown into the biggest internet television network in over 190 countries. This success can be linked to business analytics because it provides their media center insight into the viewer habits…

Sound and image work coincidently to create a powerful experience for the audience. In film, everything relates back to the diegesis, particularly what filmmakers want to be recounted, and how it appears to viewers (Chion, 1994). After all, it is the narrative that catches any one person’s attention and pulls them into a world of their own interpretation. When looking at the relationship between sound and image, the diegetic and non-diegetic sounds are responsible for creating realistic…

Animation is a process of displaying still images in a rapid sequence to create the illusion of movement. Animation derives from Latin verb ‘Animare’ which means ‘to give life to’. Each picture is shot on film one at a time and is shown at the rate of 24 pictures per second making the pictures appear to move. Meanwhile, during silent era, animation was developed .

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 performances in many films. She was not only nominated for the Oscar, but also The Golden Globes Award which is a big…

carried out by Universal. Universal distribution chief Nikki Rocco had spoken out about the success of the original film which drove them to take on a follow-up film. "'Dumb and Dumber' was a beloved film on home entertainment, and people wanted to be entertained. It's escapism," Rocco explained. Narrowly prevailing over former box office top spot holder 'Big Hero 6', the PG-13 comedy film is a direct sequel to the first movie 'Dumb and Dumber' in 1994. While Carrey and Daniels have reprised…

Production Code during that time which restricted Chaplin and forced him to remove scenes from the movie. As a result of that code, Chaplin couldn’t fully put out the message he really wanted. In 1952, Chaplin visited Europe for the premiere of his film 'Limelight' and was not allowed to return to the US. The government keeps an eye on everyone; some more than others. The tramp and the Gamin wanted a nice house, where the Gamin would cook for the Tramp when he came home for work. Every…

a western, how they’ve changed through the years, and why they’re still relevant. I will then talk about superhero films and how they have started, their brief history, how they’ve changed, and how westerns have influenced them as a genre. How it started. Westerns have been around in novels before film in books such as “The Lone Ranger” The American Film institute describes films as "set in the American West that embody the spirit, the struggle and the demise of the new frontier."…

Everyday women are judged for how they look, act, or say. No matter where a woman goes she must always worry about someone looking at her as nothing more than an object of pleasure. Because of this some women try to escape this reality by watching movies, but cinema itself is judging women. We live in such a male gaze driven society that women are now body shaming themselves because of how self-conscious they have become because they always believe they are being judged on their appearance.…

Among the many California-related films on the list, I chose the “Rush Hour” because it was one of the series of movies I had enjoyed watching it when I was young. The film's main story is about the process of finding Chinese Consul’s kidnapped daughter by Detective Carter and Lee and incidents happening along the processes. Throughout the film, it suggested lots of different images about the California. Although there are lots of images that are shown in the film like there are lots of traffics…
