Hollywood Boulevard

My first stop on the hunt for government offices and or buildings in Snyder is the Scurry County Courthouse. I had no problem finding this building due to how it's located in the center of town and all the main roads lead to the "square" where the Courthouse is located. The buildings address is 1806 25th street. Lainey, Ellis and I met at the building so we could take pictures for each other around 5:42 p.m. and there was no one in the parking lot except our own cars, but there was a bit of business due to people getting off work. The Courthouse is surrounded by various boutiques and a business that serves ice cream and coffee. Directly in front of the Courthouse is the Memorial Roll of Honor which encompasses a list of troops who have sacrificed their lives for our country who have lived in Snyder. Last weekend was Memorial Day, so our town honors these troops by placing white crosses all around the building which are still there to this day. If you're looking at the entrance of the building, on the right side are located two historical markers: "County's First Law Men" and "Canyon Reef Oil Field". While looking to the left there is a White Buffalo Statue. This statue is significant because it symbolizes the buffalo who used to roam the land which is present day Snyder. There is also a gazebo located behind the main entrance of the Courthouse. The building is mostly made out of granite, is in really good condition, and has a unique look to it. It contains the administrative…

culture, using the real problems and relatable issues that teenagers face. This film is one of the first films I’ve viewed which portrays an Asian culture as what it truly is. Unlike many other films and scenes in Hollywood cinema, this film did not use negative stereotypes or derogatory topics as its main base. Director Gene Cajayon is from the Filipino agency and grew up in its heritage; this reflects on the films true use of Tagalog, traditions, relationships, and cultural values. What was…

Hollywood film has been a dominant force in the world of film due to its box office success that comes through archetypical forms that appeal to the masses and allows for them to be entertained. The film industry in Latin America has had a more challenging time creating films that are as commercially successful which would allow the films in Latin American countries to be able to create a stronger national cinema identity. Though much of Latin America appears to be further underdeveloped than…

Before the 1940s, Hollywood and the Studio System, was one that carried the American Film Industry to new heights and brought on different visions from aspiring filmmakers and film companies.

The Big Five film companies created movies that made those years the Golden Age of Hollywood. But of course a system that gave the…

1. The movie Sunset Boulevard follows a writer, a man named Joe who comes across an old mansion while trying to hide his car which is about to be reclaimed because he is unable to pay his bills.

Norma was once one of the biggest silent film stars in Hollywood, but once talking pictures got popular and she got older, there was less demand for her work, and she has spent the last…

He’s the narrator and the one facilitating what is being told and what isn’t. The camera follows him wherever he goes, and when it isn’t on him, it’s around where he is. While Norma Desmond is a very interesting character, she doesn’t have much of a character arch, she just seems to get crazier and more delusional as the movie goes on. As a character, you question Joe’s actions much more than you would Norma’s. The story being told is how Joe Gillis has been changed by Hollywood, his own…

West Hollywood Carnaval 1. Description Monday October 31, 2016, Halloween night, my friend and I decided to attend West Hollywood Carnaval. Before getting there, we had a hard time looking for parking for we didn’t know it’s going to be that popular. It took us about two hours to find parking which is also very far from the event. We walked for 30 minutes just to get to the location. It’s both our first time. The event takes place in the streets of Santa Monica Boulevard between N Doheny Drive…
