Good Entertainment

Let’s Go to the Movies! Movies are a mainstay at the Cox family household. Our family rarely sits down to watch movies, but we quote movies we have seen over and over until we watch the next movie. Some movies that have been at our house we quote for years and use witty lines whenever needed wherever a sarcastic comment may be appropriate to use in our conversations. As a young,boy my parents pushed and strived to make sure that I watched age appropriate movies that were well made. I…

I think that one of the most effective aspects of the film were the depictions of the civilian ships that were picking up soldiers from the sea. The boat driven by the dad and the son, for instance, picked up dozens of surviving soldiers from the water. I think that these scenes were very effective in demonstrating the desperation that characterized the need to evacuate the soldiers. Right after the audience saw the destruction of many ships, these civilian boat scenes followed, which helped…

practice to be a part of the religion. Even though the movie was boring to watch, especially during homecoming week, it was a very good, educational movie to inform us about religions. Some good things about the movie were how in detail they were about the wars, like when the crusades came and they said the blood was up to a horses knee. The context of the movie was good but it got really boring because there wasn't much color so it didn't grab my attention, and there was so much repeating of…

Should teens over thirteen be allowed to watch rated R movies? Think about what would happen if you left you child with a babysitter with no instructions. What would happen if you did not mention to the babysitter that they could not watch rated R movies? Would they be frightened/petrified or would they be matured and passive about the situation? Most of the time they would be frightened/petrified by the experience and should not be allowed to watch the movies at all. Did you know that 45% of…

him a class project to do something to change the world. Trevor decides to do something big for three people who really need it, with the understanding that each would do the same for three more. In this movie, he inspired me to be selfless and to do good for others regardless of what I get in return. He also showed me the importance of motivation. In this movie, he doesn’t give up on helping anyone. This movie taught me so much. Overall, it taught me how to be a better person and to remember…

I have wanted to pursue filmmaking for as long as I can remember. Every weekend my family has a movie night where we will either watch a new movie or an old favorite. While my family just sees a movie that they watch for entertainment, I see so much more than that. I see writers writing and rewriting a script to make it flawless. I see the cast and why they were chosen for that role. I see hours upon hours of work put into planning the movie. I see the different camera shots and why that type…

People have always wanted to be entertained. Two ways, out of many ways of being entertained are by stories, and movies. Occasionally, novels can be turned into movies or vice versa. The story “The Birds” by Daphne du Maurier was turned into a film “The Birds” by Alfred Hitchcock in 1963. Although Du Maurier’s story and Hitchcock’s film portray the same major conflict and theme, the other major story elements are very different, which impacts the plot of the story through settings, characters,…

The movie, A Raisin in The Sun by Lorraine Hansberry, is more amusing because emotions were further developed in the movie. Someone once said, “Never judge a book by its movie.” However, a book can judge its movie. If a reader reads a book then watches a movie they may think that the book will be worse. After watching the movie, the director gave each character’s emotions more amusing. Throughout the movie, it made each character's emotions evolve which made the film more complex. While there…

saying that, although the effects of entertainment initially seem positive, these effects will eventually cause pain and will ruin society. Entertainment consists of everything its critics say of it, regarding its fun and mindless nature, and is loved by many because of these reasons. However, it is not difficult to see why cultural aristocrats and intellectuals in previous centuries predicted that entertainment would take a turn for the worse. Entertainment, which is regarded by many as a…

Chapin. Parental Neglect due to Workaholism is a huge problem in today’s society, an obsession or addiction leading people to care more about their work than their family, friends and sometimes even themselves. “Often, the ‘workaholic’ parent will be a good provider in the material sense, whilst being a poor provider in the emotional sense. This can leave the child in the position of harbouring ambivalent feelings toward the parent.” (Hosier). As David Hosier said, this leads to ambivalent…
