The Deception of an Image The movie poster for Captain America: Civil War shows two groups of heroic figures, one led by Captain America, and the other led by Iron Man. On the poster, it has the quote “United We Stand, Divided We Fall.” This quote foreshadows the two main characters going through something to divide them. It is a very powerful image showcasing the various emotions between the two groups of heroic figures. Pictures and images are powerful vessel through which movie creators…

Essays, Not Rants! 253: AMERICA! If you follow this blog you’ve probably realized that my mostest favoritest trope is the rag tag multicultural team. It’s why I’ll always hold Disney’s Atlantis in high esteem, it’s why I have such a huge soft spot for the Magnificent Seven remake and Rogue One. Pacific Rim, Halo: Reach, XCom, you give me a multicultural/national team, you make me happy Really happy. So you can understand my hesitance when the follow up to Al Ewing’s very enjoyable New…

It’s more than a two-and-a-half-hour special effects smorgasbord/fanboy wet dream (although it is that too). It’s more than Captain America vs Iron Man. Captain America: Civil War is a consequence. A consequence of almost a decade’s worth of films and the events that have spanned them. For years, the Marvel Cinematic Universe has existed under the assumption that the world’s need for…

It is when they watched this damn series for five consecutive days that Jimin lost it. It was bearable on the first two days. Well, because Iron Man really is a great movie and it is also funny along the cool powers and such. Really, Jimin is not complaining about watching it again and again how could he complain if it means cuddling with his boyfriend, Jeon Jeongguk, in the sofa and some make out sessions here and there. It is more than he could wish for honestly, but you know everything has a…

It is common practice for a film to have underlying themes that tie to current cultural situations or social tensions. Audiences are drawn to stories that they can relate to and filmmakers capitalize on this by providing an alternative learning source for what the world is like outside the viewer’s personal space. With the use of subtle hints or obvious nods, the film makers can educate, inform, or even push a personal agenda. Even with films that seem pure fantasy or purely intended for…
