Sparring partner Marshall McLuhan said, “All media exist to invest our lives with artificial perceptions and arbitrary values”. Yet media is very important in how so many people get to know the world around them. For example, when the lower and middle class do not interact with the upper class, it is impossible for them to understand about the upper class. The only way most of the other classes understand the upper class is through media portrayal. Media is one of the biggest network in the…

Done by Joshua nagenthiram Memento is a psychological thriller directed by Christopher Nolan where we see the film through the perspective of the main character Leonard Shelby. Leonard has short term memory and only remembers certain glimpses of his past. The way this film is shot is through Leonard’s point of view where you see how his short term memory effects him with grasping things together and most of the time we’re just confused as he is. The film is shot backwards and is like a puzzle…

Yet there is much scholarly debate as to whether sport today continues to uphold the values of hegemonic masculinity or actually contributes to breaking down the hegemonic aspects of masculinity. Juxtaposing the media portrayals of Nolan Ryan and Russell Westbrook, as well as examining the views of a men’s college soccer team in the Northeast, provides strong evidence that hegemonic masculinity, although it has aspects that maintain a significant presence in society, is being challenged…

By claiming Tim Burton as an auteur would be suggesting the director would be the primary creative force within the process of making a feature film. Which starts to reveal the essence of the creative process and who in fact is the primary role within creating the film, or if that role even exists. “Two very different challenges have been offered to the exclusive emphasis on the auteur : first, that other facets of film language and method are more responsible for a film’s ultimate success than…

In the sphere of film discussion often you hear people openly say that modern films are all remakes, sequels or prequels that have no soul or imagination. I wholeheartedly disagree with this sentiment, but the wide release film schedule would definitely prove contrary. Which is why filmmakers like Guillermo del Toro are so indispensable to the modern film ecosystem, they’re constantly churning out these original concepts with boundless imagination. This is a guy who, on a constant basis, creates…

The film "Chinatown" presents Los Angeles’s crisis of stifling drought, despite the presence of the river, but the lack of dams and poor drainage tampering in the city. In the film we sink into the thirties of Los Angeles glooms as if we are at that moment. So the director was able to take us to see that moment through (atmospheres, decor, clothes, make-up and even music) in order to make us live this melancholy atmosphere of crime. The film story begins after a visit from a lady for the office…
