Hollywood challenged television with its innovative technical advances to win back its lost audience to TV. The experimentation began with the release of the promo This is Cinerama in 1952, designed to introduce the wide screen process Cinerama, which became a landmark in film history. This was an attempt to show the wonders of the new widescreen format using three separate but synchronised camera images to create an enveloping picture through an arc of 146 degrees. It made the audience felt…

After watching the movie "A Beautiful Mind" i learned a wide range on how critical thinking can take form in many quiet and sneaky ways and just how important it really is. This movie would be very helpful to a student of Critical Thinking because of those reasons. It shows the hit/effect critical reading has with a practical example and shows how it can affect us in or day to day lives and how much we can benefit from thinking critically and how much we can loss by having a "dull" mind. In the…

As a movie fanatic and today's film curator i think it's important to spread the indie spirit. The definition of Independent films comes from its rebellious relationship with the origins of american cinema itself. Indies are defined as being made outside of the studio system but the connotations of what that actually means are usually blurred. Today i will convince my audience to watch more independent films instead of commercial films. My three main points are that Indies are more personal,…

After I formulated a rough idea of what film I wanted to make, we all pitched what we thought could have improved it from there, conversing about such things as to what extent of a relationship the lead characters have within the narrative. Early on, pre production, we did not distribute roles to each individual because we wanted everyone to share responsibilities; However, towards the end we agreed on roles based on what occurred in production. The idea behind not giving each other roles was to…

As an avid book reader, my response to “book or movie,” is always book. The book has free reign to take one where the author intended for one to go. A movie has no such ability. It is constrained by social obligations and media requirements. Often, the director of said movie is unable to dig into the details and moments the author has laid before one. This is additionally accurate for those telling a true story. Many vital parts of the story line are left out because the director saw them not…

approach in solely believing in one desirable God, faces the views of many individuals who either believe, blatantly do not or agnostics who do not even consider the existence of a god to be a relative question. This agnostic approach involves neither approving nor disapproving of his existence, but rather considering Gods existence to be inherently unknowable which correlates with the Christian belief in the complexity of God as being so vast that he can never be fully comprehended by the…

nor end” (White, pg. 284). These arguments of God’s existence are believed to have not been established beyond suspicion. However, faithful believers suggest that truths observed in our environment can help to better explain that a God must exist. These claims that a God must exist are based on empirical truths that rely on observable information…

But the existence of evil and men making bad choices a lot of the time questions the omnipotence and omnibenevolence of God. Following are the premises extracted from the argument:…

is born into a void where there is nothing, including God. As a result, man creates the self and his essence. The free choices he makes. In making choices, man is not only committing to himself but to all of mankind. In Sartre’s existentialism, “existence precedes essence”(page 3) is a guiding principle, meaning nothing predetermines a person’s goals and character. The individual defines his or her own essence.
