these borders separate people in one way or another and this separation can often result in conflict between the opposing parties. Director John Sayles demonstrated this idea of borders and what happens when they are crossed in his 1996 film, Lone Star. Sayles tried to erase the expected borders with seamless transitions between the past and present instead of using a typical cut or dissolve. In an interview,…

The Star Wars Series is a saga of films loved by just about every person in the United States. From middle-aged Sci-Fi nerds to middle school jocks, you’d be hard pressed to find somebody that “just didn’t get the hype.” The first Star Wars film, Star Wars Episode IV: A New Hope, was released in 1977 and the last film of the series (so far), Star Wars Episode III: Revenge of the Sith, was released in 2005. Though the original movie was a pop culture phenomenon and has changed film forever, the…

for a certain franchise that loves to talk about a lot of the aspects of it as general? Out of all the franchises that have huge fan bases, there are two science fiction franchises that are pretty similar but share some differences which are Star Wars and Star Trek. These are two Space Operas that involve some action pack adventures and a lot of exploration throughout the cosmos. Fans will also talk about how both of them are different. For example, there have been discussions about which had…

Compared to the last few years, 2015 provided a slew of eye-popping, entertaining movies. Obviously, Star Wars has completely overshadowed anything and everything else that’s out there at the moment – but from the big budget summer spectaculars to the lesser-appreciated indie flicks, there was a lot to love throughout the year. And, a lot to hate, as well… First things first, plenty of hard-hitting records were set – possibly none more impressive than the those established by Jurassic World.…

Star Wars is better than Star Trek. Star Wars and Star Trek are both series of movies. With Star Wars they also made a cartoon series called “The Clone Wars”. They had about 6-7 seasons, each with about 20 episodes. Star Trek also had a Tv series called “The Original series”. My opinion that Star Wars is better than Star Trek because, it is way more interesting, it’s a lot more funny, also it is action pack. This is why i think Star Wars is more interesting. It’s just the fact that Star Wars…

imaginative while including futuristic advances while fantasy movies use imaginative elements that are impossible. The misconception between Star Wars and Star Trek fans that both franchises fall into the same genre is easily refuted. These loyal fanatics are familiar with untrue comparisons and they give the true arguable difference between the two genres. Star Wars and Star Trek do share similarities within settings, action, romantic scenes and their participation within the movie franchise.…

mythological and historical figures and events. George Lucas and his Star Wars films provide a prime example of a film that is a pastiche of various other films, while also serving as a cache of inspiration for future filmmakers. Such inspiration was needed at a time when the film industry had little direction because of the influence of big business and Wall Street along with the disintegration of the Motion Picture Production Code. In fact, Star Wars was one of the films that marked the…

The Light vs The Dark Star Wars Episode III vs V Star Wars is an immensely popular franchise with an estimated worth of over 30 billion dollars. The universe that George Lucas created back in 1977 was and still is a magical and groundbreaking experience for all who watch; with fans spanning across multiple generations. When it was announced that The Phantom Menace was to come out in 1999, fans were ecstatic. It was the first Star Wars film in 16 years and people were more than ready. However,…

After reading the synopsis of the Star Trek episode it is clear that Picard and Maddox have differing views on the mind/body problem. Picard's view is very materialistic compared to Maddox who has a very dualistic view. Proof that Picard is more materialistic can be found throughout the synopsis.

(Synopsis) In the trial, Picard argues in favor of…
