create significant effect through the process of editing. Eisenstein creates messages for the mass, he wanted to heighten the audiences emotions and manipulate their thought process. In contemporary films today, Eicsensteins theory of montage can be seen everywhere, it would be almost impossible to see a teen movie or romantic comedy without the famous ‘makeover montage’ or ‘transformation montage’, which are often shown through metric /rhythmic style of editing. Montage allows for an…

1955 a month after James Dean’s tragic death. Rebel Without a Cause is one of the most influential films to come out of the 50s. It created a whole new idea about young people. At its core, it examined social interactions and depicted the differences between generations while calling for tolerance and understanding from family and society. Unlike other movies at the time, it didn’t depict teens as delinquents’ but rather as those struggling to deal with everyday life and peer pressure. This…

becomes more symbolic. Soderbergh films are all personal but they not necessarily about his own life. Soderbergh said that his real tuning point was, “I wasn’t interesting in making film about me anyone, but instead my take on things.” Soderbergh’s films moved away from the characters life and more to the issues of craft. One distinct technique of Soderbergh is editing and manipulating time. He was fascinated with breaking the conventional linear storytelling and loves films where there was no…

Australia seems to be blessed for producing beautiful films about real life situations fraught with meaning and mystery. The movies “Puberty Blues” and “The Year my voice broke” are of no exception. The landscape seems so realistic on the screen, and the sense of Australia's isolation does as well. The subject matter and thematic thrust of Puberty Blues is the girls’ inceptive desperation to hook into the “in-crowd”, but with a strong feminist kick. Sixteen-year-olds, Debbie Vickers and Sue…

analysis; I would watch three slasher films and observe certain elements within the film in order to infer how they represented society 's values.

This was to ensure that I was getting an accurate representation of a slasher film before the genre was parodied and exploited. Many characters in recent horror films could be referred to as…

psychodrama Donnie Darko (Director’s Cut released in 2004) takes viewers on a journey through the life of Donnie Darko (Jake Gyllenhaal), a teenage boy with the fate of the universe in his hands. What may seem at first glance as a tale of a schizophrenic teen struggling with his inner demons is actually something much more compelling; Donnie is the “living receiver” of a tangent universe, and it is up to him to save the primary universe from collapsing into a black hole. Frank (James Duval),…

Teenage mothers are often both shown in film as immature, careless, and stupid. These traits make for a movie in which it is easy to create drama and conflict, two necessities for any movie. While Juno has both of these necessary plot devices the title character Juno, played by Ellen Page, has none of the negative qualities expected of a pregnant sixteen year old. Juno gives a fresh take on this trope while Director Jason Reitman gives the viewer a measure of respect with the assumption that he…
