Standing wave

explain how what is now known as the third wave of feminism got its bad reputation, which included the fact that it addresses a wide range of issues “beyond” gender. So, what is wrong with supporting social issues, that is not gender-binary related? Is not freedom indivisible, as Nelson Mandela once said? If feminists’ goal is to end the marginalization of women, then it is only right to stand with all marginalized groups. Was not the issue with the second wave of feminism, that it was not…

Chung King Express has been celebrated for its innovative use of popular cinematic formulas. This is because of Hong Kong new wave film movement. This movement derived from the French new wave is to rebel against conventions. It is to experiment with new equipment and styles, making a social and political statement at the same time. Wong Kar-Wai tries to make a statement about Hong Kong at the time as Hong Kong was being handed back to Peoples republic of China. Wong Kar-Wai experiments with…

The French New Wave, also known as La Nouvelle Vague in its home country, France, came to be during the 1950s and 1960s. It was created by a group of French filmmakers who proved that they don’t need mainstream cinema to create and produce successful films. Even if the New Wave wasn’t really a conscious movement it left a legacy with films like À bout de soufflé/Breathless (written and directed by Jean-Luc Goddard). French New Wave rejected the idea of a traditional story in films – they didn’t…

Emma Goldman was born on June 27, 1869 in Lithuania, Russia. Little did anyone know at the time what a major figure she would be in anarchism and feminism all over the globe. She showed her first signs of the potential she would soon bring into the world when she resisted her father’s ideas about a very domestic future for her. Instead, she went her own way and migrated to America in 1885. Here is where it all really began. She would do great things for not only women, but all of society in…

The wing beneath my wings: Paul Joseph Watson. The person I look up to and admire the most is a man named Paul Joseph Watson, a reporter for the online news outlet called Infowars.com. There, Paul covers stories the media won't touch, reporting on culture, politics and conspiracies, which are often shoved to the side due to controversy, and pc culture. In a world where facts seem to get ignored, it's nice to see someone tell it like it is, in a way where there's no repercussions. He's…

The film Les 400 Coups is autobiographical, through the character of Antoine Doinel, Truffaut recounts the struggles of his upbringing as a troubled young adolescent in Paris. Les 400 Coups (a French expression meaning to “raise hell”) shows the result of neglectful, or entirely absent, parenting as it is of youth delinquency. Antoine is certainly not blameless, many of his actions are dictated by necessity. He is a victim of circumstance. There is no doubt as to where our sympathies lie or…

filmed in eight to ten minute-long segments (Bacchus). Although the directors of New Wave were not the first to utilize this technique, they certainly played a part in solidifying the long take within modern cinema. Some famous examples of its use in Hollywood cinema are in Alejandro González Iñárritu’s Birdman (2014) and Marin Scorsese's Goodfellas (1990). Oftentimes, the long take was only the result of a New Wave director’s unique sense of camera movement. Just as painters use their brush to…

Le Corbeau, directed by Henri-Georges Clouzot, was released in 1943 during World War 2 in France. The film was produced by Continental, a French film production company bankrolled by the German government to produce lighthearted and joyful films that had no political plot, but rather played on and exploited the French culture. Clouzot got fired before Le Corbeau release due to it’s harsh look at provincial France, which was quite the opposite of what the Germans wanted. In the film, Clouzot…

Third Wave I want to do my research paper on Third Wave feminism. Third Wave feminism is part of a three piece time period of feminism.The name comes from the idea that there have been three major times when feminism was popular or making great strides. First Wave was white women wanting the right to vote. Second Wave Feminism was roughly in the 1970’s and was about stopping domestic abuse, advancing women's rights in the workplace and the start of including women of color in feminism,…

chose to write about The French New Wave which is also known as “La Nouvelle Vague”. The French New Wave happened during 1958 to 1964. The French New Wave was started by a group of French film makers who wanted to create their movement in film and they did that by changing how a film could be made. The French New Wave turned out to be the biggest movement of them all and also made an impact on all filmmakers. Some of the main directors who created the new wave were, Jean-Luc Goddard, Fracious…
