Flags of Our Fathers, directed by Clint Eastwood, is a film that is successful in portraying both a Native American and white soldiers as humans. Not only was Ira Hayes, a Pima Native American, one of the main characters, he was also a character with as much depth and humanity as his white counterparts. Although there are several moments of racial dialogues towards Ira from his superiors, it seems as though director Clint Eastwood is pointing to these scenes as flawed instead of simply leaving…

Nick Levi was a stunt double for Matt Kragen in the movie Race Across the Stars. The movie was being filmed in Hollywood of course. Nick adores being a stunt double, and he loves the risk that comes with it and the always dangerous tasks he has to execute. The reason he is such an exceptional stunt double is because he is such a tremendous thinker, and an active and abrupt one. When something, or if something goes wrong during the filming of a scene he is able to quickly figure out how to…

portrayal of each of these characters isn’t as good as the Dark Night Trilogy characters. With the flop of Man of Steel, and Batman vs. Super Man, Warner Brothers, the company making DC films, wanted to take a lot of control away from directors, and unfortunately the first movie to take such directions was 2016’s “Suicide Squad” by David Ayer, produced by Warner Brothers Studios. This movie was ultimately a letdown to many people including myself, but it doesn’t take away from the movie still…

For as long as I can remember, I have grown up in the company of one thing. Films. When I say films, I don’t mean your standard 21st century blockbuster. No, these are much too overdone for my liking. Superfluous special effects, unnecessarily complicated plots, and gratuitous violence have all become key ingredients in the recipe for your generic ‘Captain America’, or ‘Dracula Untold’. It makes sense that after an arduous day at work, the first thing most people seek is some escape from their…

As a child, I had a love for many movies, but I had a special love for a specific movie, The Breakfast Club. My Father says that I would sit in front of the Television and watch this movie for hours at a time. Some would believe that it is odd for a child, my age, to love the movies that I do. Ever since I can remember, I have had a love for movies from the 80’s. My favorites included: Sixteen Candles (1984), The Goonies (1985), Beetlejuice (1988), and especially Dirty Dancing (1987). Actually,…

The film was “built upon the themes of enduring great hardships in pursuit of immense riches or a better life”(sierra college). And this connected greatly with the…

This film brought in over $5.7 million in gross net, changed how Hollywood censored films and shaped the path for numerous controversial films to soon be produced. Although Double Indemnity left its impact, the strict Production Code prevented the film adaptation from reaching the full potential sent forth by the book. In her book, Blackout, film noir critic Sheri Chinen Biesen explains how the Motion…
