Neff And Wendy
2,645 wordsThe two films I chose to compare and contrast are my two favorite films of the course, Double Indemnity, and The Last Seduction. These films prove that although many years have passed, decades in fact, the plots of many film noirs have stayed the same. Through all the similarities however, the transition from film noirs of the 40's, and modern film noirs is very much prevalent. These films involve the most intricate of murder plans in any modern movies I have seen, and though the one in The Last...

Segment With An Special Interview Of Wigand

One Night Hester
1,059 wordsThe Scarlet Letter is a movie that has changed many times and in this summary I will try to stick to this one movie, even though I may compare it to the novel. As you already know, The Scarlet Letter was written by Nathaniel Hawthorne dealing with the times of the Salem witch trials and puritan life. It is said that Hawthorne was very focused on these times because he felt guilty because his ancestors sent many men and women through various trails including burning and drowning them.

Little The Shark
1,451 wordsSo the police chief famously informs the shark hunter, right after the first brief appearance of the man-eater in "Jaws". It's not simply a splendid line of dialogue, it's an example of Steven Spielberg's strategy all through the film, where the shark is more talked about than seen, and seen more in terms of its actions than in the flesh. There is a story that when producers Richard Zanuck and David Brown first approached Spielberg with an offer to direct the film of Peter Benchley's best seller...

Movie Goers Feeling Of Patriotism
991 wordsThe portrayal of the feelings of the general public is constantly used in film to stir the audience. If the filmmaker can rouse their feelings, people will be more engrossed in the movie than they would be otherwise. What is arguably the strongest emotion in many people is the feeling of patriotism. As George Bernard Shaw said, "Patriotism is your conviction that this country is superior to all other countries because you were born in it". Though this feeling is not necessarily based on logic, i...

Movie Hang Em High
1,075 wordsFor my at home movie I watched Hang em' High directed by Ted Post. It is considered a spaghetti western that was made in America. In comparison to the film we watched in class, High Noon directed by Fred Zinnemann. These two westerns had many similarities and differences. From differences in how the movie was actually shot, to the similarity of how both of the main characters are loners, these two movies connect all over on many different levels. High Noon was the story of a very brave man, Will...

End Of The Movie The Old Man
1,081 wordsThere are four elements that I will discuss while writing this paper. These four elements will describe the hero's plot. The two movies that I will apply these elements to are Unforgiven and Being There. The first element that I will discuss is origin. Origin is the starting point of the movie. It is who the character is at the time you meet him. In the movie Unforgiven, the main character is a man named William Munny. When we first see William Munny, he is on a small farm with his two children....

A Local Black Resident Of The Neighborhood
674 wordsSpike Lee's, Do The Right Thing is a contemporary look at racism in a ordinary city urban neighborhood. The movie is seen through the eyes of the main character, Mookey, we are shown the multiple relationships and often typical stereotypes of racial groups. This movies is filled with symbolism and imagery that feeds to the story's plot. Throughout the movie, the scorching heat is always being refereed to. As the movie goes on, the heat rises.

Tough Guys In The Movies
558 wordsAnyone who has seen an Arnold Schwartzenegger movie knows he is always the toughest, baddest, most feared man ever. Whatever movie Arnold plays in, his character always survives, and no matter how much of a little, wimpy family man he tries to portray, he always stands out as the tough guy. Out of all the tough movie stars from Sylvester Stallone to Jean Claude Van Dam, Arnold Schwartzenegger is, for sure, the toughest man ever. As a real life name, he is a representative to some, of a buff look...

Time In The Movie Henry
1,081 wordsThere is a thin line between "good" and "bad". A narrow space between the two that I believe relates indirectly with the thin line separating art from life. What is art? Is it not, in a sense, a way of life? If "good" and "bad" and art and life relate to each other in some odd, but interesting way, then how can we define "good" art and "bad" art? In a picture, when there is someone bleeding, we understand that there is some kind of pain involved. Pain not necessarily felt, but pain that is under...
