“Feminism isn’t about making women stronger. Women are already strong. It’s about changing the way the world perceives that strength.” - G.D. Anderson Many years ago, one common practice in many countries was to deny women’s rights. Women were being oppressed and considered inferior to men. They did not have the right to vote because they were considered to have inferior minds. They were only required to stay at home to do house chores and to take care of the children while the male was…

Before analysing Tarantino’s films and establishing his style as a filmmaker, not only does the auteur theory have to be looked at, but also the criteria that a director has to tick in order to be considered an auteur in their field. The auteur theory originated in France, and initially began as a reaction of criticism against the Hollywood studio system in the 1910s. However, it only became a popular topic of cinematic debate in the 1950s when cinema exploded into the American mainstream…

"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…

Women are already strong. It’s about changing the way the world perceives that strength (Pugachevsky).” This quote wraps up the original motives of the women at the beginning of the Second Wave of Feminism. Feminism is a hot topic in the media today, as was it over the past fifty years. The women of the Second Wave of Feminism, also known as the Women’s Liberation Movement, were trying to acquire the right to be equal to men in the eyes of society and government, which is still the goal today.…

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…

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.

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…
