He accidentally becomes the target for all parties involved and the complexity of the good and the bad in the Troubles become apparent.

Which side are you on? There is a constant argument every time a new movie comes out that has been based on a novel. Some people would say that you need to read the book before you watch the movie, because it makes things easier to understand. Some people say they like the mystery while watching the movie and can’t wait to see what happens next; when they don’t read the novel first. If I don’t read the book first, the movie keeps me intrigued because I don’t know what to expect in the end and in…

Defining genres for television shows has always been a difficult task, and the sheer amount of shows airing today makes this process even tougher. Not only are there hundreds of shows that are prevalent in network television, but due to the rise in popularity of streaming sites such as Netflix, there are also many shows that get their start on these sites without ever premiering on TV. This saturation in the market of TV shows has obviously produced many different genres of TV shows, and the…

Purpose At the end of my presentation, the audience will favor purchasing entertainment, as opposed to illegally downloading pirated material. Introduction Let’s be honest, we’ve all downloaded a form of pirated entertainment at least once in our lifetimes. It could’ve been your favorite pop album, or a 20 minute TV show you’re enjoying at the moment. But what we fail to realize is how it actively hurts the creators, and everyone involved. Illegally downloaded entertainment hurts many without…

Nothing better than watching a typical Cinderella story about a maid who falls in love with a wealthy person, unless the movie is filled with stereotypes. When watching a Maid in Manhattan, you first see a maid that falls in-love with a wealthy man, but as you continue to watch and think about the details of the characters you start to see all the stereotypes that make the movie so entertaining. Before getting to in depth of analysis of the movie, let first ask ourselves ‘What is a Stereotype?’…

empathetic targets and make full use of their qualities. They find people who are easy-going, gentle and kind and who avoid conflict. Throughout the films double indemnity directed by Billy Wilder, nightcrawler directed by dan Gilroy, LA confidential directed by Curtis Hanson and training day directed by Antoine Fuqua, we find that these films have a strong theme of manipulation occurring. This manipulation that occurs between characters happens because of greed, lust, corruption and power.…

There is almost nothing that makes my job easier as an interviewer than asking questions of an actor who is confident in his/her abilities and is able to present himself/herself as a well-rounded, talented, fascinating human being. In Lisa Temple 's case, that is exactly what she did with the questions she recently agreed to answer. She offered fresh insight into her early passions, her notable works, and her upbeat outlook on the industry as a whole. One of my favorite headshots! One of my…

had to choose one film that represents Hollywood’s involvement in the Second World War, it would have to be Michael Curtiz’s 1942 film “Casablanca” . Examining just this film demonstrates the reasons to study the war films, especially with those produced during the war. From this type of film, we get the producers, directors writers and actors viewpoint reflected in the story that they are producing. The film is, from the producers’ time view, about current events thereby the film will often…

of Everything is a biographical picture adapted from the memoir Travelling to Infinity: My Life with Stephen written by Jane Hawking. From a framing perspective, this film is pretty ideal when compared to the other representations in this study and in films with disabled characters in general. According to Darke, most disability films construct the disabled characters as abject where the impaired are easily fatigued, totally dependent, socially isolated, asexual, and infantilized, and have an…
