Nicholas Sparks is a well-known romance author whose novels almost never disappoint, considering all of his books have been New York Times best sellers. One of the books, The Notebook, was turned into a movie. Even though The Notebook isn’t the only movie inspired by his best-selling novels, I think it was the most popular and hands down the best movie. Sparks wrote The Notebook in only a short period of six months. Ryan Gosling and Rachel McAdams are the two main characters in the movie.…

I personally prefer the book than the movie. The book was more detailed and it gave more evidence than the movie. In addition, I also consider the book than the movie because I like how the author gives names to about three or more sections in the chapter. I say that because sometimes it gives me a better understanding of what’s going on. Rather than the movie, I didn’t really understand it, and it sometimes got me confused. On the other hand the book didn’t because it was more specific. My…

Though the production itself has come a long way, I see problems in many films with the way women are represented, especially in the Marvel films I love so much. It upsets me, but that is not enough. If I cannot accept it, I must change it. This is where my skills as a Humanities student would be useful. During my four years at the Scholar’s Center for Humanities…

Bernstein, because I read in his bio that he had written and sold several scripts. Becoming a writer for television and film is my goal, and the reason I chose to attend ASU, so I was interested to see what advice he could give me about the craft. When I met with Professor Bernstein we discussed how and why he became a writer, what it takes to make and sell a script, and films that we each enjoy. After introducing myself to Professor Bernstein, and telling him a little bit about my background…

The Disney and historical portrayal have differences and similarities between the movie and the historical portrayal. The story Pocahontas is set back in the early 1600’s in America, where she was captured and forcefully brought to England to live. The three main points are her effects and looks are different while her actions are the same. To start with, Pocahontas’s looks were very different compared to the story. Pocahontas’s style in the movie was much more expressed for example when John…

high position jobs in the entertainment industry, and in several cases, studios have shown no black individual working in the high-end positions in this industry. The numbers get worse for black females. Film writers play an extensive role in films and in 2013 only 12.9 percent of the 170 films examined in 2013 by UCLA, where given credit to women of color. While 87.1 percent of white males receive credit as writers. Television unit heads employers were 86 percent white and 55 percent male and…

Jeremiah Johnson. A Film Review When this class initially started and I read the syllabus, I was very excited to be able to write a film review on one of my all-time favorite movies; Jeremiah Johnson. This is a movie I would watch with my father and brother, next to our wood burning stove in rural Southwest Missouri. I am positive we watched this movie so many times on VHS, they had to create DVD’s so we could buy a new copy. The movie, directed by Sydney Pollack, was released in 1972 and…

Diversity on American Television Since 1968, there have been dozens of programs on American TV featuring a relatively diverse array of black families. But for many years within this span of time, there has been what has felt like a drought of Black imagery, a “whiteout,” if you will. Many of our shows essentially came and went, while programs featuring White families continued to dominate the airwaves. Today, however, Black faces are finally all over the network and cable television lineups,…
