The butler movie written by Lee Daniels came in a period when the world was going via the pop culture history. The racial struggles are portrayed in the movie not only as a remnant of the past, but still evident and painful part of what is happening in most countries. The movie demonstrates the current condition by focusing on the decades of racial politics and injustices that have managed to prevail in the 20th century. The movie reflects the racial, social, economical and political struggles by marrying the ideas of the character’s private life and the political world. Therefore, we ...

It is an American documentary film directed by David France in 2012. It is heartrending piece of filmmaking. The film covers the AIDS pandemic from its beginnings. It explores the societal norms that stimulated the spread of the pandemic and the continuous loss of innocent lives. Outrageously, it exposes the social prejudice held about the disease and the sterling discrimination that people affected by the disease were subjected to. France, the director, says that he knew that all that people were doing was historical, and many people will continue to die out of it if no action is taken. ...

The 1970s was a decade of the public’s disappointment with the government and its policies, domestic and foreign, social and economic. It was the time of counterculture and various movements and protests that followed the example of the civil rights movement. The most important topics for the American people were the distrust for the government after the long-lasting Vietnam War that weakened not only the United States, whose economic situation was already devastating, but other countries, including Vietnam, Cambodia and their neighbors; the Watergate scandal that made Americans doubt that the county is in fact a democratic one, the state ...

What does this documentary tell us about intimate partner relationships “back in the day” (i.e., when the women were first arrested)?
The documentary tells us that intimate partner relationships that involved a married couple do not take into account the weight of the women’s testimony and experience. In the case of Ruby Jameson, her lawyer gave her advice to avoid mention of domestic violence and explicitly discouraged Ruby from using and citing the “Battered Woman Syndrome” that could have alleviated the prison sentence.
Back in the day, the issue of domestic violence was not taken nearly ...

The documentary movie The Good War and Those Who Refused to Fight It is about the American soldiers who denied shouldering weapons as their thoughtfulness supported humanity, and their consciousness did not agree to gun down another human being. These soldiers are known as conscientious objectors as they refused to fight. As the present generation feels weak and disloyal towards their nation when faced to war situations, there were similar people even during WWII who were not patriotic and fainthearted. To avoid joining with other fellow soldiers in war, many of these conscientious objectors changed their career paths to ...

Most of the events of the movie take place in the crumbling, yet beautiful hilly city of Nablus. Nablus is a city in northern West Bank where Palestinian resistance forces and Israeli security forces exchange gunfire on a regular basis. Nablus is at the heart of Israel- Palestine conflict and Abu-Assad, the director of the movie, was right about shooting the movie in Nablus.

The film Of Gods and Men begins with a quotation from the Bible "I have said, Ye are gods; and all of you are children of the most High. But ye shall die like men, and fall like one of the princes." This neatly sums the theme of the film – everyone is a child of God - and also offers an ominous foreshadowing of the ending. Set in an Algerian monastery, nine Catholic monks live in a Muslim area, where they are accepted by the peaceful and friendly community. However, as the true story develops the safety of the monastery is threatened ...

This is also the same with Zebra as when they face stress, they momentarily shuts down or even damage their other biological function. ...

The movie Serpico is a representation of the kind of life that was led one Frank Serpico, who a police officer was serving the nation.

Thus, in all respects and fairness, it is worth to mention that Frank Serpico is an outstanding and diligent officer who excels at his duty post or station.

Shakespeare’s Richard III, is a play that has betrayal, murder, power struggles, a little wickedness and, finally, evil; not triumphing at the end.
Although there is a movie based upon the play, the play will be best suited performed in a theater. First of all, the movie was not true to the original text of the play, something that has always been preserved in theater when the play was performed in 1930’s.
Another thing that sets RICHARD III in theater apart from the movie version of the play is the fast pace accumulated throughout the play. However, in ...

It aims to describe the struggle between the two opposing factions, the Enterprise and the Borg.

Everyone associates the name of Ali with the world of boxing. But only a few (including me before watching the movie) know that Cassius Clay, which is his true name, was not only a boxer, but also a fighter for the religious freedom and racial justice and an objector to the war.
“Ali” is an American biographical film by Michael Mann that came out in 2001. It describes the period of life of Muhammad Ali from 1964, the start of his career, to 1974 when he reclaimed his title of the champion in the fight with George Foreman. I have noticed ...

Every person has his own way, his own lucky star, and his destination in this life. But nevertheless, a human stays a human no matter what he or she faces and what problems copes. All outstanding persons stayed just simple men no matter how greatly they influenced the people’s lives and the whole world. I think Socrates, Buddha, and Muhammad were just simple people with their own problems and happiness; all of them were just normal people with arms and legs. But from the other point of view each of them was unique and wonderful person. Gandhi was one of ...

Flags Of Our Fathers has accurately concentrated on the pain, trepidation, and disaster of combat, and the challenges confronted by the three surviving flag raisers as in Joe Rosenthal's Pulitzer Prize-winning World War II photograph, which the government sent on tour over the United States to sway individuals to back the war exertion. The men incorporate Navy corpsman "Doc" Bradley, Ira Hayes and Rene Gagnon. In addition to the enduring, horrific impacts of war felt by the men, the film uncovers the incongruity behind the photograph itself, and how the flag raisers feel misused by the gathering pledges process. ...

The Appalachian Mountains can be seen to be a barrier and divide between developed and rural America. The people who live in the region are certainly steeped in past rural traditions and are stuck in their lot with not much hope for improvement. Since the settlements and towns here are cut off from the regional towns and cities in West Virginia such as Wheeling and Charleston, they are also in a sense detached from reality. In the short documentary, The Hollow we can observe this sense of detachment and as such the society here is deviant from the norms which we ...

The film is an action that has a lot of wrestling and the intended motive achieved through fighting.

Budrus is definitely an inspiring and motivating movie that clearly demonstrates what people can really do under the influence of a leader that renounces violence and manages to unite people that in fact, had nothing to split. It is amazing and note-worthy how a need for fairness can become an entire movement that strives for just, in a world where barriers are built to keep people apart, be it Palestinians from Israelis, to black and white people, to Christian and Muslims and anything else in between.
Like any other documentary, the camera in Budrus has indeed been used to explore and ...

Review on Pulp Fiction movie by Quentin Tarantino.
Pulp Fiction is a movie directed by a Quentin Tarantino who is famous for his non-standard approach that can be hardly confused with any other movies. Pulp Fiction was released in 1994 and, undoubtedly, it is the best incarnation of all Tarantino’s unusual ideas; this is the movie which brought a fresh air into the world of cinema and led to appearance of such movies as “Lock, Stock and Two Smoking Barrels”, “Snatch” and many other great movies which were shot in the same manner under its influence.
So, the first ...

Francis Ford Coppola, the producer and director of the film asserts that Apocalypse Now is not just about Vietnam ...

The Official Story (La historia oficial), the 1985 film, marks a splendid point of withdrawal for the study of the recent culture of Argentina. Perhaps that is a staple in many Latin American culture courses throughout Europe and the United States, as a result of which its relevance has remained intact in this decade.
Although it may seem that the film has a tragic ending, it is arguable that there are signs that point toward hopeful, positive changes in the future of Latin American women. Alicia’s insistent demonstrations and the push for change in the streets can be seen as a sign ...

The movie American History should only be viewed by the mature unbiased individuals reason being I heard immature giggling both during and after class which made me mad. This is important to such people especially in embracing the change as for example Derek was bad but finally he changed. The importance of fighting against racism is also depicted. In the movie we are told of the instance when Murray a history teacher for Danny Vineyard (Edward Furlong) gives them assignment to write a paper on any book which relates to the struggle for human rights.
Danny writes a paper about Adolf ...

Death defying stunts, combat aerobatics and epic matchups are just some of the notable features comprising a martial arts movie. People who are unaware or disinterested in this genre would often argue that these movies just advocate violence and killing. However, this conceptualization of martial arts films had been refurbished and reinvented by one man as his work ethic, ideology, acting, directing, and way of the fist exemplified that there is more to martial arts films than just pure violence and conflict. Many people – from artists, martial arts practitioners to fans – would hail this man as an indispensable foundation to ...

The lone gunslinger cowboy is one of the most iconic figures in American history – roguish and tough, with a pistol on his thigh and a checkered past, many Western films of the 50s and 60s feature such a character and their struggles with the chaotic and dangerous world of the Old West. In the case of the 1953 film Shane and the 1956 John Ford film The Searchers, their protagonists couldn’t be more alike while also taking somewhat different paths. Alan Ladd’s Shane and John Wayne’s Ethan Edwards are both mysterious figures who ride into the other character’s ...

Fargo is a film in which a unique attitude of the residents in the Midwest has been portrayed, who are typically not faced with violent crimes. The concept of the film is based on the investigation of a small police department into three violent murders in rural Minnesota. The characters depicted in the film comport themselves with an apathetic and careless attitudes towards the events that take place in the film.
The plot of the film seems to revolve around the antagonist, Jerry Lundegaard's greed and its consequences. Not only does the plot of the film try to explain the point ...

Chan-wook Park's 2003 thriller Oldboy tells the story of Oh Dae-su, a middle-aged father who is kidnapped mysteriously one day, being left in an abandoned hotel room with little to sustain him. Being kept alive but locked in the room, Dae-su is eventually released after 15 years, and he vows to take his revenge on the person who kept him there for seemingly no reason. Park's unique take on the revenge thriller is fantastically made, intensely raw in its emotion, and uncompromising in the lengths it will go to in order to shock and affect its audience. The movie is ...

In The Iceman: Confessions of a Mafia Hitman, the chilling interviews Dr. Dietz conducted with Richard Kuklinski demonstrate a man with significant psychological damage, which led him to kill over two hundred people over the course of his life, through various and sadistic means. If one were to look at his condition from a Freudian perspective, it is easy to see that he has many psychosexual issues related to his mother. Growing up in a violent environment, with his mother beating him often and violently, Kuklinski learned that violence was the way to get what you wanted, leaving him in the latent period ...

1995's Dangerous Minds, the urban school drama directed by John N. Smith and starring Michelle Pfeiffer, tells the tale of real-life teacher LouAnne Johnson, who dramatically transformed the lives of kids at an inner-city school through dedication and innovative teaching practices - all the while dealing with sensitive issues of race and violence in schools and the inner city. While its intentions are noble, Dangerous Minds tends to warp Johnson's story into a treacly, overly sentimental mess that cannot be saved by a strong cast and assured direction. In the end, the overt melodrama and incredibly simplified morality of the film undercuts ...

I would like to agree with Michael Moore for producing such an informative documentary. In deed, Bowling for Columbine presents a real scenario on gun violence and the mysteries surrounding the April 20, 1999 Columbine High School massacre in which Eric Harris and Dylan Klebold murdered 12 students along side their teacher (Howe, D., 2002). The movie is compelling and gives a lot of information regarding this shooting which caused a lot of agonies to many people. The possession of guns had not become an issue of concern in the United States of America (USA) during that time. This explains why it ...

The 2000 film “Traffic” is an incredible piece of ensemble cinema, and it unquestionably follows an ensemble, rather than a single protagonist, structure. It describes three different but interconnected stories about drugs, their use, and the measures taken to fight against them.

According to Linda Cowgill (Plots Inc. Productions, 2003), “the key ingredient in all great ensemble films is dramatic unity – the synthesis of thematic ideas and plot movement – which enables the screenwriter and filmmaker to integrate the lines of action and construct the framework for the film's plot.” This is exactly what occurs in “Traffic.” The overriding theme director ...

In the play, Of Mice and Men, George and Lennie had a strong relationship; they were close companions. It is evident that despite Lennie’s mental state, George had him for a companion.

The play depicts the character of Lennie as static throughout the play as he does not seem to change. George did not regard Lennie well in the beginning of the story and harassed him at some point.

Captivating is the word I would describe the movie, Saving Private Ryan. The movie is a masterpiece that lacks adequate words to describe itself. The movie is indelible and searing leaving an imprint on every soul that get a chance to watch the movie. No one can ever forget the work of Stephen Spielberg on this movie. Spielberg leaves a memory that we cannot forgot. The first thirty minutes in the movie are one of the finest cinematic forces capturing the audience. The movie shows how soldiers encounter the deadly Normandy invasions. The beginning is brilliant in technique and generating viewers’ reaction. ...

Marie DiBattista voices her concern about the character of women in contemporary movies. In her article that discusses and draws a sharp distinction between women in the films made in the 1940s and 1930s, Marie DiBattista shows a woman figure of them being charming, outgoing, determined, devoted and widely admirable. It is this type of woman that DiBattista wanted to become. She is concerned that the contemporary films portray a woman who lacks the ability to enunciate, full of blundering, lacks coherence and is insecure.
However, this is not the case. Selene (Kate Beckinsale), a woman character in the movie, the Underworld ...

Fight Club:

Question 1:
This paper will examine both the film: Fight Club by David Fincher and the Book: Fight Club by Chuck Palahniuk in order to answer the question: Chuck Palahniuk’s novel Fight Club is written in almost cinematic terms, referring to specific shots in the first chapter, Tyler Durden’s job as a movie projectionist, and the idea of the "changeover." How does David Fincher’s film adaptation expand these terms to become a type of metafilm? What does the film show us about narrative, the transition from novel to film, and the medium of film itself? How are ...

This movie challenges the way I feel about civil responsibility and its absence in the war against terrorism because every member of the society should do something all in the aim of fighting terrorism. The movie depicts this through three stories that unfold simultaneously all showing the roles played by different members of the society during the era of Iraqi war. The first story is about a republican senator (Tom Cruise) giving a hour-long interview to a sceptical reporter (Meryl Streep) about a strategy of fighting terrorists in Afghanistan through possessing spots in the mountains before terrorists approach them. The second story is ...

The movie Malcolm X by Denzel made me more confident in my beliefs about: people thinking, seeing and listening to themselves; being self determined; and fighting for progress and a better life. This is because in the society different groups have different wants and desires and they will always fight for their rights. In fighting for their rights the majority group might ultimately resort to prejudice, racism, and even threats. This was shown in the movie when the society was so polarized that the whites would discriminate against the minority who were blacks. However, this did not stop the blacks ...

There is a vast number of versions and remakes on R. L. Stevenson’s “Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde”, 1886. But the two are have appeared to be the most impressive for me are the following: a very close remake – “Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde”, 1985, filmed in the USSR and another one – though far from the plot, but still – related to the same subject “Fight Club”, 1999.
