no sound and think oh yeah thats interesting. I wonder what it would just be like to be inside the mind of a film maker in that day and age. Did they even think of how much more it would really add to their movies if there was sound. People who just casually watch movies know a good movie when they see it but to really know why is a whole other story. Sound plays such a massive role in films. Music alone has so many things to offer and variables to change not only in track choice but the volume…
African Americans in the film industry is pretty different from what they were in the past. Compared to our society, the portrayals of African Americans in the past were negative. Since one of Hollywood’s main goals as time progressed was to make films that are more relatable, the films had to follow the specific trend that was going on in that time. Many films followed the lifestyles of individuals living in antebellum South. The only roles available for African Americans in film were roles…
Film in our world today is something we use to portray our imagination. We use films to put ourselves in dangerous and thrilling scenarios that we would never really want to be in. Why do people like to watch horror movies if they get scared? People like feeling like they are actually in the movie entering that dark, creepy room with the squeaky floorboards and the terrifying silhouettes. My major happens to be Film Making and Television Production and I chose this career because I enjoy the…
Censorship was in its full regulatory glory in the 1940s, with the Production Code Administration (or the PCA) carefully reviewing whether or not films met certain guidelines which were listed in the Production Code. One example of censorship under the Production Code is the film Black Narcissus, made in 1947, which follows an order of Anglican nuns’ acclimation to helping a remote village in the Himalayas. The Production Code, created by the Roman Catholic Church and enforced by the PCA, found…

“Loyal ‘til the end” are very well-known phrases. They are very true to describe most dogs, specifically two redbone hounds that I have read about. Little Ann and Old Dan are both heroically presented in both the book, “Where the Red Fern Grows” and its film adaptation. After reading and viewing both portrayals of this wonderful story, I have come to the conclusion that Ann and Dan are superb. This statement is quite an achievement to the dogs based on the various differences in the plots of…

Medicine Man, a standout amongst the most politically right enterprise films to be discharged as of late, has a few decent things working for it. The story concerns the quest for a cure for malignancy, a request to stop the pulverization of the world's rainforests, a romantic satire, fascinating locations, and not in particular, Sean Connery. Medicine Man is silly entertainment that could utilize some healing itself. As the film opens, Dr. Rae Crane (Lorraine Bracco) lands in the Amazon rain…
