The positives of Wollen’s structural system are that it is objective and scientific. It is possible to prove and disprove his system because it is a discourse and not a theory, unlike Sarris. With Wollen’s structural system its possible for a director to completely change their directing style and you would still be able to use his structural analysis to determine whether or not they were still an auteur. Wollen implied that when determining who was an auteur or not, that a structural system…

and how it’s exactly what they wanted in a perfume, so they made it. However, it was very forced, as there was no emotion or passion, and visual camera techniques were awkward, which could have just been bad acting and directing. Moreover, the soundtrack of the ad places an awkward or lacking mood to the ad as it really isn’t sensual or calming, yet seems like it should be. They tried to make the music sexy and energetic at the same time, which clashed the 2 sounds, and lost its purpose all…

To travel to the ever enticing past is an impossible feat that many wish to do. In The Great Gatsby (2013), this is ultimately the dream that caused the demise of Mr. Gatsby himself, as the tides of the city sweep him under. Woody Allen put Gil in the situation where he could slip between time periods, which leads Gil to end the life he once had, as his time in the past gives him confidence and wisdom. The indie movie of 2011, A Midnight in Paris, romanticizes the city of Paris and how grand it…

“If we enter this world knowing you are loved and we leave this world knowing the same, then everything that happens in between can be dealt with” (Michael Jackson). Michael Jackson was born in Gary, Indiana on August 29, 1958. He started his music career when his father failed to become a musician and did everything in his power to make his sons a success. Jackson made history for music and dances, he also made a huge impact on future generations and earned the name King of Pop. Michael Jackson…

though she is less present when things go bad for Edward. The only thing I am left wanting for is more of an appearance from Vincent Price, who plays the inventor who created Edward and left him incomplete. With the engaging characters, touching soundtrack, and fluid actors, Edward Scissorhands is a film I look forward to re-watching in the times to come. It was refreshing…

designed by William Stout. They continued on with the label until the late 1980s when it transitioned into a complete entertainment company that specialized in home video re-issues of television programs and compact releases of select artists, movie soundtracks, and retrospectives of famous comedy performers. A few of these artists were Richard Pryor, Stan Freberg, Tom Lehrer, and Spike Jones. Five years later it developed into a record distributor with the help of manager, Harold Bronson. The…

I love it when I find a new song that just touches my heart in so many ways. As I sit here and listen to "Something More" by Bonnie Dune, I can't help but appreciate the power of music so much more... The way a song can just take you to any place you want to be with whoever you want to be with, the way it can cause your mood to change in just seconds, the way it can say the things that we sometimes are afraid to say or just don't know how to say, the way it can take you back in time or maybe…

If I were to make the Joy Luck Club into a film, I wouldn’t. There already is a film. Directed by Wayne Wang and released in 1993, the film adaptation of Amy Tan’s novel is just as powerful as the novel itself. Kieu Chinh was casted as Suyuan, Tsai Chin as Lindo, France Nuyen as Ying-Ying, Lisa Lu as An-mei, Ming-Na Wen as June, Tamlyn Tomita as Waverly, Lauren Tom as Lena, and lastly, Rosalind Chao as Rose. Each part was wonderfully played by each of the actresses. The film adaptation perfectly…

Late nights can bring about very surreal experiences. I was listening to my music with my headphones on while doing homework, like most nights, and an unrecognizable song starting playing. Now, I add whole albums typically when adding songs; so, this didn't faze me, in fact, I didn't even notice the song had changed. Focusing on my work, I continued. Increasingly, a strong, consistent percussive beat drew my attention from my calculus work to the song. Each tremendous hit was a siren's song,…

to be taunted and dismissed like that." The whole thing felt like such a disrespectful and blatant snub. "Love You I Do" garnered a Grammy for Best Song Written for a Motion Picture, Television or Other Visual Media, while the soundtrack received Best Compilation Soundtrack Album for a Motion Picture or Television. I suppose grabbing the musical equivalent of an Oscar is somewhat of a consolation prize; the key word being…
