  • Sound In The Movie
    593 words
    Thomas Cattaneo 2/11/02 Understanding Movies Fritz Lang "M" The 1931 German classic "M" was an extremely scary movie. The film touches on many of the typical Lang themes such as: justice & revenge, mob hysteria, the anticipation in watching a helplessly trapped person unsuccessfully trying to escape as greater forces move in. I personally thought the film was wonderful for its time. It wasn't the plot because it the typical plot that we have seen over and over. What sells the movie for me is the...

    Realism and Idealism for the Godfather will never forget what I felt when I first seen my first mobster movie, I was about 12 years old, it was real late at night and I just could not fall asleep. I was flipping the channels looking for something to watch, and that is when I encountered my first mobster movie. I was intrigued from beginning to end; it was like nothing I had ever seen before.

    The 1974 adaptation of the critically acclaimed novel the Great Gatsby is directed by Jack Clayton and screenwriter by Francis Ford Coppola, with Robert and Mia Farrow as leads.

  • Movie Casablanca

    One of the world's best movies is Casablanca. Many things made this movie to the fine a movie as it was. Things such as the actors, lighting, costume, camera, and even the sound.

If one has a morbid and odd mind, such as mine, it can be compared to modern movies such as John Carpenter's 'Vampires'. This...
  • Great Film
    612 words
    I must say that this film is very traumatizing. There are some images in this film that will be burned and scarred into my mind for as long as I live. I have seen many holocaust films, but no one was as near as dramatic and depicting as Night and Fog. However I did like the theme of this movie. It is very sad but yet realistic. Our minds are murky and dull. We tend to only remember the important situation in our lives. Yet we don't remember the importance of our own history. I say OUR history be...

  • Book By Ron Kovic

    "Born on the Fourth of July " This book was incredible! In all truth this was the first book I have ever read cover to cover. The book, by Ron Kovic, as compared to the film, by Oliver Stone, had some impressive similarities. Both the book and the film did a great job of portraying Ron's childhood in Massapequa, Long Island. From the little league games to playing war in the woods, leading charges and setting ambushes. This was especially well done in the movie, and exactly as I pictured them wh...
  • William Wallace
    303 words
    we can cover the movies, their historical accuracy, and even the patriotic and psychological influence is has on us during the current conflict. For each movie I think we should first describe the historical event, explain how accurate the movie portrayed the event, and finally what residual message the movie leaves behind. William Wallace is a hero to the Scots, to be sure, but much of him seems to be borne in legends, now. There is not a great deal to be known about him. He was born at Ellersl...

  • Feminist Examiner Movie Critic

    When I watch this movie, I think of a game of chess. Each team is a different color, like the different nations fighting against each other. With each skilled move, you have to take a chance, but regardless you are going to lose some of your teammates. Just like war, there can be only one winner. In the first scene, the first soldiers to get off the boat get killed, and these would be considered the pawns. In the game of chess, each team has two rows. The first rows are the pawns, the first to d...

    David Sondergaard General Writing: Film Prof. Anus tup Basu How to Create a Classic Movie: The film The Usual Suspects (Bryan Singer, U.S.A., 1995) has a plot that circles around and around before finally hitting the mark. It is hidden under deceit, lies, and misgivings. Because everything is told from the perspective of one person, or in the first person, nothing is clear. Could that person be lying Or is it that he is just the mere pawn of a darker and more evil force, without even realizing i...

  • Few Male And Female Buddy Films

    Male buddy films have played a significant role throughout the history of film. This genre is elastic enough to include everything from "Some Like It Hot" and "The Man Who Would Be King" to "Easy Rider" and "Swingers". They are all essentially stories about male bonding and bluntly put: an all-male romantic comedy. The plot is always the same. Two extremely different men are thrown together and have their relationship tested by events until they discover an unlikely affinity. This forges a bond ...
