Standing wave

contrast between the members of this dinner party, all of whom besides Marlene and Griselda I would argue represent what are known as the first-wave feminists which was the feminist movement in the 19th and early 20th centuries, focusing on the legal oppression of women, especially in regards to suffrage. Marlene, however, seems to represent the second-wave feminists. This movement is defined as the feminist movement from the 1960s into the mid-1980s which focused on the unofficial but still…

of the statistics they report aren’t realistic. Some of what is said in feminist arguments is false. I will give facts and talk about problems I have with the narratives of many feminists. The type of feminism I am critiquing has been called “third wave feminism” and is the newest form of feminism. One of the things I see that is often misrepresented is the pay gap. The pay gap feminists proposes seems to show that women get paid much less for the same job. In some feminist articles I read they…

"Feminism is the theory of the political, economic, and social equality of the sexes." In the next few paragraphs, I am going to tell you about three different essays or speeches involved with feminism. These women show strength beyond imagination. They live very different lives and battle with similar aspects of prejudgment. A perceived privilege does not guarantee an easy pathway, even being a strong woman who seemingly does everything for others needs understanding and assistance in life. As…

Now that we have a foundation for how to encompass what determines an author and how to finite our definition, the theorists of week three begin to hone in our concept to a more narrow ideology. This week centers on the larger question of ‘what is an Author?’ Janet Staiger opens this week by listing problems with authorship studies, Francois Truffaut follows with his negative opinions of French cinema and what appears to be a form of authorship existing there, and Andre Bazin closes the week…

To conclude, French New Wave has a completely and original aesthetic system. Based on the research that revealed by the film critics and the media, we can clearly see that the films that directed by New Wave famous directors are including the unprecedented elements such as the comparable cinematic movements that happening everywhere, which completely reflected the message of the social and cultural change after the occupation and the wars. Although the New Wave has influenced by Italian…

addition, third wave feminism mainly focuses on the physical value of being a woman and the perceptions of being a woman. Social media, television and newspapers portray women in stereotypical ways and third wave feminist are against the viewpoints of the portrayals. They work on self-respect, self-control, and the mental and physical aspect of what it is to be a woman. Third wave feminists are modern and their viewpoints differ from first wave feminists in a plethora of ways. Today, third wave…

such as women’s right to vote, or official legal inequalities. Third-wave feminism is ignored because many people are under the impression that first- and second-wave feminism accomplished all there was to accomplish, and that men and women now stand on equal footing across the board. Unfortunately, quite often the only people aware that we still lack inequality are those who are treated unequally. Because of this, third-wave feminism is often assumed to be fighting for women to be raised above…

Godard used a few difference camera angles and styles such as iris shot, close up, medium and wide shots, and camera movement. Godard also used many jump cuts and quick cuts to shift between scenes. For instance, in the beginning, he used jump and quick cuts of close up shots of Michel and a woman that let the audience have the illusion of Michel is having a very close relationship with with that woman. As Godard switch to a wide-angle shot, that’s where we know we have been fooled and they were…

JEAN-JAQUES BEINEIX: Beineix started his career as a assistant director on fifteen adverts before releasing his first feature in 1981 ‘Diva’, which attracted the attention of key post-modernism theorist Frederic Jameson, who identified it as the first French postmodern film. Despite ‘Diva’ becoming a cult film for the youth of the time, the French film critic establishment did not appreciate the superficial aspects of its postmodern aesthetics. It was simply considered an irrational attachment…

In film, a genre is a way of putting movies into categories where they share similar narrative elements. Auteurism, as previously mentioned, is when a filmmaker’s distinctive style and personal vision is reflected in their work. In the New Hollywood era genre and auteurism started to intersect due to the fact that auteurs were able to make their mark in genre films. They were able to put their personal spin on a formulaic genre film. Coppola did a lot of what we would call genre films over the…
