War film

of an adventure which includes journey, quest, or discovery that takes place in a “fantasy and exoticized setting” (Action and Adventure Films) along with incredible scenes of violent, combative, explosive, and pursuit action sequences. Action sequences can also be “comic… apocalyptic, military, conspiratorial and even romantic” (Tasker). Action and adventure films have a primary focus on some sort of conflict. It usually involves an individual or a group that is a hero type figure that faces a…

on a deeper level. I was also able to connect the storyline to new historicism, and view on how Anakin relates to coming of age. The main thing that I found to be challenging about my characters was finding the films. Growing up, my family and I never sparked an interest in the Star Wars movies, so we never watched them. Wanting to get a better understanding of what I was reading on starwars.com, I decided to watch the movies. The lowest bundle that I could find and get the instantly was around…

Unraveling of time as a Film technique to visually reflect reality Film’s are enjoyed worldwide due to the unique subjective instruments behind the director’s eye that influences the viewer to analyze several key creative differences in society, or their own lives. The technique in which the director uses to effectively unravel storytelling principles through film editing and intricate camera shots is solely up to the filmmaker themselves. In the 1993 Harold Ramis comedy, “Groundhog Day”,…

assault. As the allegations are now garnering the attention of public media, I am curious to see if it will be handled similarly to the film; will tensions with foreign policy be escalated with events like the North Korea nuclear scare or the recognition of Jerusalem as Israel’s capital? Similar to the character Motss’ decision to create foreign unrest with the fake war in Albania, the public scrutiny surrounding Trump may be combated with foreign policy moves to dampen the consequences. As seen…

Many of us have wondered how a post-apocalyptic world would look like. Our imagination makes us think of a desolated and uncivilized world produced by a natural catastrophe or a nuclear war. I have always been interested in understanding visually how our world would look like in one hundred or even a million years from now, which I certainly won’t live to see. Fortunately, many movie producers have produced significantly realistic-seeming depictions of how the earth would appear. One movie that…

Traditional and shocking sometimes is not promising; Spike Lee’s 2015 film, Chiraq, is a hit or miss for audiences based on background knowledge of the Aristophanes’ Greek classic, Lysistrata. Although Lee keeps the same plot structure of classic comedy and adds new male characters, his lack of Lysistrata’s original famous wool metaphor has left the film fall flat. Lee’s views on the importance of the upcoming presidential are just lost in translation. In ancient Greece, the point of comedy was…

For as long as I can remember, movies and television have been my escape. No matter what was going on in my life, I could always get lost in the fantastical adventures of Star Wars or even the mundane happenings in The Office. With each new story that I consumed, my mind created five more. For me, writing just started out as a way for me to clear all of these thought-tangents out of my head. I would keep random journals everywhere and just jot down whatever came to me throughout the day. I did…

Artistic expressions, such as film, have the capacity to influence the perception of both our past and present. Mass media has been constantly validating how powerful ideas are. There is just a great amount of authority gained just by having something presented in the channels of media. All that it takes is a powerful production. The art form of illustration and film is effective in three things. Through it, a better perspective of the past is gained. It influences the values of the present and…

complete diversity. Ever since Hollywood 's upbringing and even still today, the business has underplayed minority actors and actress. The start of 20th century film began with mocking African Americans with black face and playing them as immature and violent savages the majority of these films were to keep the memory of pre civil war fresh in people 's minds and to remind them of the “Good times.” Even with roles given to actual African Americans, they still degraded them, with roles of…
