Gravitational wave

Introduction In just the short thirty-five years that I have been alive television, computers, phones and films have began to evolve at unimaginable rates. The rate that information can me transferred from one person to another amazes me on a daily basis. That being said we are able to send and receive images information from or to the society that we live in. I believe that has been a good thing but in some circumstances it has been a bad thing. When I was going up I saw magazines with…

“Feminism isn’t about making women stronger. Women are already strong. It’s about changing the way the world perceives that strength.” - G.D. Anderson Many years ago, one common practice in many countries was to deny women’s rights. Women were being oppressed and considered inferior to men. They did not have the right to vote because they were considered to have inferior minds. They were only required to stay at home to do house chores and to take care of the children while the male was…

Before analysing Tarantino’s films and establishing his style as a filmmaker, not only does the auteur theory have to be looked at, but also the criteria that a director has to tick in order to be considered an auteur in their field. The auteur theory originated in France, and initially began as a reaction of criticism against the Hollywood studio system in the 1910s. However, it only became a popular topic of cinematic debate in the 1950s when cinema exploded into the American mainstream…

contrast between the members of this dinner party, all of whom besides Marlene and Griselda I would argue represent what are known as the first-wave feminists which was the feminist movement in the 19th and early 20th centuries, focusing on the legal oppression of women, especially in regards to suffrage. Marlene, however, seems to represent the second-wave feminists. This movement is defined as the feminist movement from the 1960s into the mid-1980s which focused on the unofficial but still…

of the statistics they report aren’t realistic. Some of what is said in feminist arguments is false. I will give facts and talk about problems I have with the narratives of many feminists. The type of feminism I am critiquing has been called “third wave feminism” and is the newest form of feminism. One of the things I see that is often misrepresented is the pay gap. The pay gap feminists proposes seems to show that women get paid much less for the same job. In some feminist articles I read they…

innovative and avant-garde director to come out of Hong Kong. As part of the second New Wave of Hong Kong cinema, Wai moved far away from the traditional, Jackie Chan and Shaw Brothers style of films, which focused on action, and explored more substantial themes, icnluding human psyche, politics and the social conditions in Hong Kong. His aesthetics are quite similar with Jean-Luc Godard and the French Wave, in general, particularly because he also took apart the traditional conventions of…

"Feminism is the theory of the political, economic, and social equality of the sexes." In the next few paragraphs, I am going to tell you about three different essays or speeches involved with feminism. These women show strength beyond imagination. They live very different lives and battle with similar aspects of prejudgment. A perceived privilege does not guarantee an easy pathway, even being a strong woman who seemingly does everything for others needs understanding and assistance in life. As…

For the purpose of this essay, I will be demonstrating and evaluating whether the film director and producer, Sir Alfred Hitchcock was a “Metteur en scene” or an “auteur”, based on two of his films; Psycho (1960) and The Birds (1963). In other words, I’ll be evaluating whether he was a unique and outstanding filmmaker or if he was just like any other regular filmmaker. I’ll begin by giving a little background information about Alfred Hitchcock. Alfred Hitchcock was giving birth to in Leytonstone…

Now that we have a foundation for how to encompass what determines an author and how to finite our definition, the theorists of week three begin to hone in our concept to a more narrow ideology. This week centers on the larger question of ‘what is an Author?’ Janet Staiger opens this week by listing problems with authorship studies, Francois Truffaut follows with his negative opinions of French cinema and what appears to be a form of authorship existing there, and Andre Bazin closes the week…

What is minimal wave? What "In comparison to mainstream synthpop, the minimal wave sound is sparse, amateurish, stripped down and lo-fi, using analog synthesizers, drum machines and pre-MIDI electronics. The singing is unconventional, with detached and cold vocals. " Minimal wave was coined as a genre name in retrospect. It makes reference to the most electronic and minimal forms of New Wave, Coldwave, Synthpop and Post-Punk. In its most purely electronic and synth-driven form, it is called…
