  • Side To The Cast Of The Film
    511 words
    Ever since Hollywood begun to make movies, Hollywood has attempted to movies that are based on celebrated literature. More often than not, the directors are so concerned with making the film entertaining that they stray from what makes those original literatures themselves popular, the ability to arouse strong emotions within its readers. This practice usually turns a masterpiece into a piece of farce. Fortunately, such mistakes are not made in the film adaptation of Arthur Miller's play the Cru...
  • Nolan's Film
    545 words
    Memento directed by Christopher Nolan, is quite the rabble-rouser. The concepts and ideas the film conveys to the movie watching audience are a welcome, fresh change from the recent stagnation that American Film has endured. Mr. Nolan built this film off a concept that had nothing in common with the all too familiar current movie templates directors have been following in hopes to create the next box office smash. Although sometimes the movie seemed to become disjointed with too many segments to...

  • Film Noir When Borde And Chaumeton
    5,054 words
    Forty years after Raymond Borde and tienne Chaumeton defined the challenge, critical commentators on film noir continue to grapple with it. Ironically, American writers did not immediately take up consideration of this indigenous phenomenon and the question of its "essential traits". Only gradually in a frequently cross-referenced series of essays in the 1970's did they begin to express themselves. There are now a dozen full-length books in English concerning film noir and undoubtedly more to fo...
  • Great Films And Use

    Edwin S. Porter was both a film pioneer and director. He was a film pioneer because he made people come back to the theaters and start watching movies.

His lovely lady is Lauren Bacall in her motion picture debut playing the dark and mysterious Slim.

  • Excellent Film
    517 words
    What makes an excellent film? It took me a little while to come up with an answer to, "What makes an excellent film?" There really is no answer, actually. I believe that an excellent film is within the eyes and emotions of the audience. After researching and discovering what actually won Oscars and Golden Globe awards, it came down to what the people thought, and the popularity of a film. It is extremely hard to predict what will win these awards before the movie is even released to the public. ...

Without all of these people the film ...
  • Scene In American Beauty
    739 words
    Mise-en-Scene: American Beauty Just to refresh everybody's memory, mise-en-scene literally means "setting up a scene". There are six elements that make up mise-en-scene: acting, costume and make-up, setting, lighting, composition or space and last but not least time. The film that I chose for this particular topic was American Beauty. In my opinion, American Beauty is like mise-en-scene candy. In each frame of this film, there is so much to say about each of the elements of mise-en-scene. I will...

The Piano was made with finance provided by French production company CiBy 2000, who sought to invest in a range of films made by experienced and new talented film directors.

The film has one main story line and several mini story lines that run side by side flicking from one to another every few minutes. This ...

    The Crucible is a story taken place in Salem, Massachusetts. The historical period takes place during the witchcraft trials. The historical period is portrayed very well including the language, clothing and historical content. The actors had an English accent that would be typical of the Colonial Americans during this time period.
