The Untouchables: Mise-En-Scene Analysis
.... the scene. The costumes of the main characters in this scene are the
same as throughout the movie. Ness wears a light gray colored suit, hat, trench
coat and tie. Stone is wearing a little darker colored, more casual, clothing
with a tie and light colored hat. Capones men were dressed similarly with
trench coats and hats of light colors. Also, the innocent bystanders in this
scene are the sailors in their suits, the woman, with the baby in her innocent
raggy clothes, and all the other people in t .....

Evita
.... think that it is normal to dress flashily or bare their skin. Their
culture allows them to do so as they are protected by traditions and laws of a
Spanish/Catholic system of morality. The main rule in their culture is that
"You may look at my sister, but if you touch her I will kill you." This system
has made Latino women more open and daring. Once they go out of their cultural
system, they practice the same actions which often tends to be misinterpreted as
being easy. Some Latino women have us .....

Apocalypse Now And Heart Of Darkness
.... is well known as the Holocaust. Here, humanís evil side provides one of
the scariest occurrences of this century. Adolf Hitler and his Nazi counterparts
conducted raids of the ghettos to locate and often exterminate any Jews they
found. Although Jews are the most widely known victims of the Holocaust, they
were not the only targets. When the war ended, 6 million Jews, Slavs, Gypsies,
homosexuals, Jehovah's Witnesses, Communists, and others targeted by the Nazis,
had died in the Holocaust. Most of th .....

Forbidden Planet Comparison To Shakespeare's The Tempest
.... the purpose of the movie, which is to
entertain and to teach us a lesson about man's control over the elements and
over his own technological creations.
At this point a brief synopsis of the movie would seem to be in order,
with special attention as to how it relates to The Tempest.
In The Tempest, a man named Prospero and his daughter Miranda have been
exiled to a remote island which is completely uninhabited, save for an evil
monster and her son Caliban, and which is in a state of primal chaos. Usi .....

Movie: Glory
.... than us all. He realized that
the troops wanted to go out and die in the battle-field. He also realized how
bad the nation's views of blacks were. So he volunteered them for a battle that
would surely bring them to Glory and honor. He was fully aware that the battle
would not be a success, but it was a success morally. The people finally
learned that blacks were people. This movie was not only about the blacks having
their own regiment, but how they changed the public's views on them, and showed
th .....

Hello, My Name Is Orson Welles
.... opening style in favor of a much more dramatic method of introduction;
this creates a less obvious, yet more intimate initial interaction between the
characters on the screen and the viewer in the seat.
Foremost, Welles's legendary long shot opens the film. These three
minutes and twenty seconds have many effects upon the viewer in introducing this
movie. The primary purpose of this shot is to slowly draw the viewer in to the
story by limiting the viewer's role in the film; he doesn't allow the viewe .....

Television Shows Reflect American Culture
.... with a gun which he had acquired
during a summer vacation to the mid-West. The friend shot himself by accident;
what followed was a time of mourning for David and a recollection of many fond
memories of the times they shared together. This episode's tragedy brought the
characters in the show closer together.
Many innocent children, and sometimes adults, are killed accidentally
playing with guns, or by drive-by random shootings. This is a major problem in
the United States and the show is tryi .....

I Didn't Do It: How The Simpsons Affects Kids
.... not to do so in fear of loosing royalties from papers that printed the
strip. Groening presented Brooks with an overweight, balding father, a mother
with a blue beehive hairdo, and three obnoxious spiky haired children. Groening
intended for them to represent the typical American family "who love each other
and drive each other crazy". Groening named the characters after his own family.
His parents were named Homer and Margaret and he had two younger sisters named
Lisa and Maggie. Bart was an .....

Impressions Of Television
.... experimental researchers compared the play of children who had
seen aggressive behavior on television with the play of a control group of
children who had watched nonviolent programs. Concern was intensified by
findings that indicated a higher level of aggressive play in the violent-
television group"(encarta).
All you have to do is surf saturday morning cartoons to see the violence.
The ninja turtles are a phenomenon that has captured the imaginations of movie,
Comic, and even cartoon fans across .....

"In Cold Blood" Review
.... forced into this by Hickock.
All characters in the movie were played well by the actors in my opinion. They
all seemed real and seemed to fit in with the setting and the time period.
I think that Hickock and Smith are not victims of forces beyond their
control, they are victims of, at least in Smith's case, a bad upbringing. The
two murderers have no direction in their lives. The only skills that Hickock
seems to know is how to steal things and how to write phony checks. Smith seems
more sane than Hi .....

The Meaning Of Chow Yun-Fat (It's In His Mouth)
.... him into some quasi-
autistic prodigy, like Dustin Hoffman in Rain Man. Chow retains his intuitive
skill at playing cards, but now he must be pacified by constant pieces of
chocolate that he scarfs greedily, goofy smile on his face. Blowing smoke,
dangling his toothpick, eating chocolate, or just smiling ... ultimately, when
trying to explain why Chow Yun-Fat is cool, it comes down to his mouth.
Everything I have said so far describes a subjective reaction to watching Chow
Yun-Fat on the screen. Fill in .....

The James Bond Phenomenon
.... doubts about watching all these James Bond movies, but they
were all good. Sean Connery Played a nice cool, slick James Bond, well so did
the others but he was better at it because he naturally is cool and slick.
Pierce Bronsman played also as a cool, slick James Bond, he really looked like
he was a spy, he kept his cool, I really liked that scene in Golden Eye when he
is at the tanks of fuel where the satellite comes out of the water and they are
shooting at him and there is sparks right next to his eye .....

John Ford And Frank Capra: A Study Of Their Movies
.... in its products. Instead of the grim realities of world, Hollywood lured
in the audience with escapist movies. The classic thirties genres like screwball
comedies, glamourous musicals and fantasy movies, were mere ploys to divert the
sad reality of the time and in doing so Hollywood firmly defined its role as
entertainer not critic. Capra and Ford can also be accused of following this
pattern too, with other movies they made. The 30's were also a time of the great
studio system and one had to work und .....

A man by the name of Thomas Malory felt the extreme need to give France, his
country, a hero(s) in a time of great disappear. He felt it necessary to do this
because the feudalist time in which he was living in, was slowly dying. He
thought that if he could show people how many great hero(s) came out of this
time period it would revive and flourish once more. He then turned to history
to find such a hero. As needed to .....
