Over the last decade, the popularity of zombie themed movies and TV series has skyrocketed on a large scale. In part it is attributed to the fascination the younger generation has for the violence, drama, and suspense that such thrill films offer, but there is also a much deeper meaning behind the popularity of zombies in popular culture.

The ethical frameworks that can be examined to understand these situations more thoroughly are the theories of utilitarianism and egoism. To lay the ground base, utilitarianism is an ethical theory that states than an individual should do not what is best for himself, but rather for the greater of the group. In the movie, a Stasi agent employs a utilitarian position in how his work life unfolds. On the other hand, egoism…

class, love is nothing more than a despairing tragedy that drains all optimism. Two 1939 films that depict the stark class divisions very well are Marcel Carne’s Le Jour Se Leve (Daybreak) and Jean Renoir’s La Regle du jeu (The Rules of the Game).The character’s offbeat and dynamic relationships with one another are what embody the reoccurring theme of class division.

In this exercise, I chose my four favorite movies and arranged each movie with six poetic elements. The six poetic elements are plot, character, idea, dialogue, spectacle, and music. As I was rearranging the six categories with my four movies, I realized several similarities to the genres of movies with the poetic elements. To give an example, Spider-Man (2002) is a character-driven movie. The movie expands on the main character’s personal development as a superhero. Throughout the movie Peter…

life. I believe that music should be a part of the film industry only because it helps the film feel more interesting while watching it! The two industries will clash like anything else in life, but eventually will work its way through the bumps on the road. There are three important issues such as, flow, plagiarism, and inspiration. In my opinion, flow is the most significant difference. Often times, classical music is able to flow better than film music, because it doesn't have the added…
