Compare & Contrast: The Lightning Thief The movie, Percy Jackson and the Olympians: The Lightning Thief is supposed to be an adaptation of the book The Lightning Thief by Rick Riordan. The Lightning Thief is an award winning novel and the first book in the famed series Percy Jackson and the Olympians. The series has sold over forty-five million books worldwide, and gained a very loyal legion of fans. Its popularity led to it being adapted into a huge Hollywood movie. However, with so many…

audience into a science fiction world that so many people have fallen in love with that Lucasfilm's has made over four billion on just the films themselves, not even taking into the consideration the action figures and video games that were made based on the movies that made the companies progressively…

world. He gave his readers hints in the book Catcher in the Rye“If there’s one thing I hate, it’s the movies," he writes. "Don’t even mention them to me.” this turned out to be very true because films are far from the truth and cliche. Scott Imad and Chris disobeyed Salingers request by creating a spectacular film that accurately depicts the book. The scenes we chose stood out the most in the book and were the critical scenes that really made the book impact the lives of young readers and…

In the movie Warm Bodies (Levine & Lieberman, Hoberman, Papandrea, 2013), there seem to be many connections to the Christian faith. The imagery of zombies and humans is always a powerful one that can evoke fear and excitement in the crowd who watches. Warm Bodies specifically interacts with the emotions of its consumers. For those whom have not seen this masterful work of art, the plot goes something like this: a zombie named “R” meets a human girl named Julie and instantly falls in love, but…

allegations made against the president, it mirrors the women that have accused President Trump of sexual harassment and assault. As the allegations are now garnering the attention of public media, I am curious to see if it will be handled similarly to the film; will tensions with foreign policy be escalated with events like the North Korea nuclear scare or the recognition of Jerusalem as Israel’s capital? Similar to the character Motss’ decision to create foreign unrest with the fake war in…

a higher standard. The example of the movie Titanic used in a history class, doesn’t contain enough historical information to be considered a worthy movie for the classroom. It is further explained in the seventh paragraph (218) these “propaganda” films could help students to become “critical thinkers”, this works as long as the teachers follow up by asking the critical questions. In many ways I believe sometimes the critical questions, get skipped because of the lack of allotted time. The next…

Leave it to Jim Jarmusch, the director who gave film audiences the "psychedelic western," 1995's "Dead Man," and the gangster/samurai hybrid, "Ghost Dog: The Way of the Samurai," to find a way to put his own unique stamp on that most trendy of cinematic monsters: the vampire. In "Only Lovers Left Alive," Jarmusch finds a way to shake off the recently accumulated residue of too many sparkly, lovesick bloodsuckers by recontextualizing the supernatural creatures as the ultimate hipsters. More than…

The film I chose for my final research paper was Paris is Burning, because although we viewed 2 other films about gender roles, I believe it represented all of the gender roles found in society. Livingston was able to dive into the world of the New York City drag balls and give the viewers an insight to race, class, gender, and sexuality in America. She was able to depict this by conducting interviews with “legends” in the ball scene but also footage of ball competitions and the interaction of…

Abstract The movie Life is Beautiful is about a family that endures life at the concentration camp during the Holocaust. During the Holocaust, Jews were taken away from their homes by the Nazis and put into concentration camps, in which they were treated brutally. The Holocaust left many victims dead and remains as an example that something like the Holocaust shall never happen again. Life is Beautiful, a movie about a family in a concentration camp, is an inaccurate representation of the…

If I say “Casablanca” what is the first thing you think of? The movie, a variety of famous quotes, or the actual city? I am betting it was one of the first two, and doubt it was a look of total confusion because of the popularity of the movie ever since its release in 1943. Many people who were a part of its production believed it would be a flop; however, they couldn’t have been more wrong. Both the movie and the actors involved won a variety of awards including Best Screenplay, Best Director,…
