This is normal for a man as well, when you see someone you like or look up to it is natural to follow their footsteps. By seeing a…

Personal Connections with Chicano Films Chicano films tell stories that explore many topics and issues that mainly pertain to the experience of being a Mexican- American in the United States. However, many Americans of Hispanic descent, whether they are first generation Hispanic- American or even third generation, can identify with many of the themes, topics, and issues seen in these films. Throughout this course, I have watched a number of films that deal with serious, shocking, saddening,…

An Arab person named Ibn al-Haytham was the first ever person who created the camera. He published his Book of Optics in 1021 AD. He produced the first pinhole camera after observing how light travelled through a window shutter. He realized that smaller holes would create sharper images. He is also credited with…

More needs to be done. A massive reform on the hierarchy of position of the film industry must be seen for these steps toward gender equality in movies to be done. Interested women that specialize or have an interest film-making should seek international organizations such as the Geena-Davis Institute on Gender in Media that aims to empower aspiring women on the film industry by providing educational support that is centred on producing movies with the motive to remove…

movies portray the vast possibilities of the end of the world as we know it. Cormac McCarthy has created what I believe is one of the most real portrayals of post-apocalyptic life in his novel The Road.

When I was ten years old I saw Bob Fosse's autobiographical film, All That Jazz, and was introduced to what would become my favorite style of dance. At ten years of age, All That Jazz was a movie which was a bit inappropriate for my to see. Now that I am a parent, I'm not sure I even want my thirteen year…
