had been entirely unaware of. Awkwardly, we strolled across the food court into the movie theater as we listened to Vanessa and Scott argue about whether or not going to see Horton Hears a Who would be childish or not. "No. No. A million times no! I am not going to see Horton Hears a Who on my first date!”, I was thinking while trying to play it cool in front of his friends. The three of them decided on a movie about superheroes and I couldn't object; how could I? I was out on a double date…

visual means. Hitchcock created an entire film from the rear window of a Greenwich Village apartment symbolizing a certain “movie-watching” experience. Hitchcock uses mise en scène to show how the film is going to progress, uses camera movement around the buildings to give a sense of continuity and time, uses the frame of the rear window as the frame of a metaphorical movie screen to allow the audience to experience pure visual cinema. The opening sequence can be seen as a curtain raiser. Indeed…

allowed to pick a movie of our choice, we then would watch them together over popcorn and fruit snacks. I think I watched TV as a child because it was entertaining, interesting, and it was a way my family spent time together. As a teenager, my priorities were sports, hanging out with friends, and church. I rarely watched tv, but when I did it was mainly shows like Real World and That 70’s Show. Occasionally, I would usually pick up a movie from local video store, or go to the movie theaters. My…

First, this film does hold truth in the matter that no added eliminates are there that could possibly make something fake. Everything in and about this film is truth. Now, does it come off more truthful than other films, I think no. If every film we viewed was made just like this one, than I would say yes. We already have an idea of what a film is going to look like and/or have in it when we go the the movies, so for me personally, this film threw me off a little. I assume the film does have the…

What movie should one watch; whom should they watch; where should they watch the movie; when should they watch the movie; and why should they watch the movie are the five Ws that make up the most critical commentary; however, Groen also asked another vital question, which is usually left unanswered: "How do we behave during this pop rite of going to the picture show?"(Groan, paragraph 1). He built the rest of his essay based on how one reacts, interacts, and thinks when they go to the movie…

Kirby Dick’s documentary This Film is Not Yet Rated is an investigation into the Motion Pictures Association of America and its movie rating system. Through Dick’s examination, it becomes clear that the MPAA has several biases concerning sexuality, violence, and film producers. Because of these biases and a lack of definite ratings standards, Dick argues that the MPAA is not the moral backbone of the film industry it claims to be; it is a “subtle form of brainwashing,” censorship, and propaganda…

really relate to. I can feel the texture of a silk dress in a costume drama like ‘The Count of Monte Cristo’. I can smell the blood bursting off a smoking bullet in ‘The Magnificent Seven’. And I still wince at the sight of an anguished face in a movie like ‘Peyton Place’—every fine detail that the camera so agonisingly exploits. To me, movies are…

Towne (Bonnie and Clyde [uncredited], Shampoo) from a 1970 novel of the same name. Although it had an all-star team behind it, that alone is not what makes it a Hollywood Renaissance movie. In addition to it reputable Hollywood Renaissance team, it also shares many of the common themes of a Hollywood Renaissance movie as we have seen in class. The New Hollywood movement is “remembered as an era in which Hollywood produced a relatively high number of innovative films that seemed to go beyond the…

Here is a short rundown of what happens in the movie. “The Lone Prospector, a valiant weakling, seeks fame and fortune with the sturdy men who marched across Chilkoot Pass into the great unknown in the mad rush for hidden gold in the Alaskan wilderness.
