    The Mission Movie Analysis

    The Mission was released in 1986 by producers Fernando Ghia and David Puttnam assisted by director Roland Joffé. Some of the actors consisted of Robert De Niro as Rodrigo Mendoza, the main protagonist, and Jeremy Irons as Father Gabriel. The movie, as a whole, I enjoyed very much. The character development in the beginning caught my attention and didn’t leave me constantly drifting off as other films might have. In the movie, Jesuit missionaries are trying to protect a native tribe they had converted to Christianity from Portugal who wanted to enslave the natives for their own use. Rodrigo Mendoza had to go through trials before he accepted his position as a Jesuit priest after he was given the choice by Father Gabriel…

    The Benchwarmers Film Analysis

    Directors have the important job of communicating the ideas and themes of their films. Their power comes from the choices they make, aside from the script. Directors are artists, they make intentional choices to give the film a specific meaning and help communicate the ideas in it. The Benchwarmers is a great example of intentional choices made by the director. The Benchwarmers is about a group of three young adults, Gus, Clark and Richie. They have been treated like losers all of their lives and after seeing a young kid named Nelson get bullied for playing baseball poorly, they decide to play the team that was bullying him. They found out that they were better than they thought at baseball, so they decide to run and participate (as The Benchwarmers) in a baseball tournament, with the prize being a new stadium. In The Benchwarmers, director, Dennis Dugan uses camera angles, lighting, and establishing shots in order to emphasize conflicts between The Benchwarmers and the other baseball teams.…

    Wall-E Movie Analysis

    A widely-renowned contemporary movie containing multiple themes of apocalyptic literature is “WALL-E”. In this movie, a futuristic dystopian society is presented in which there are no longer any humans present on Earth due to it no longer being sustainable for life. The humans have now been long-removed from Earth and now live on an enlarged spaceship named the “Axiom”, which is funded by the monopolistic company “Buy ‘n’ Large”. Over time, the passengers of the “Axiom” have become morbidly obese, as they have now spent many years having to rely on hove automated systems in order to maneuver and communicate with one another. Therefore, there are many underlying components within this movie that would qualify it as apocalyptic literature. For one, the plot of the movie is “cosmic in scope”, as it depicts the monotonous livelihoods of humans in outer space after having over-polluted the Earth to the point where it is no longer inhabitable. Its “cosmic scope” is also suggested by how manipulative of an effect mass-consumerism will have on the human population, as “Buy ‘n’ Large” holds total ownership over every product that is told to the humans, even in space. Another apocalyptic theme is the user of “satire to shape perception of reality”. In this case, the satire employed in this movie proposes a strong critique of society today by focusing on a multitude of issues such as pollution, consumerism, obesity, and technology. This can be interpreted as the director alluding to the potential “point of no return” that will transpire for humanity if we choose to not address the negative impacts society is having on our environment and well-being. Additionally, there is also a “fellowship of friends against the forces of evil” presented in this film due to the developing relationship between the two robots “WALL-E” and “EVE”. In the end, their fellowship allows the humans to return back to Earth when they present a living plant from Earth to the Axiom’s captain, indicating Earth’s…

    Hollywood Film Analysis

    This essay will take an in-depth look at the history of Hollywood during the late 60s and early 70s. This period of time is considered to have been a renaissance for American cinema, and was titled the ‘New Hollywood’ by cotemporary critics of the time. In order to understand the changes that Hollywood went through the late ‘60s, you first have to examine the preceding era of Hollywood filmmaking during the 30s and 40s. This was a period that is commonly referred to as Hollywood’s Golden Age; when the dream factories were in full swing and the audiences were in regular attendance. This period of time could be defined by a number of social, political or economic contexts, but it’s the filmmaking practices that were employed at the time which…

    Psychological Analysis of Anton Chekhov's the Lady with the Pet Dog

    In Anton Chekhov’s short story, The Lady with the pet Dog, Dmitry Dmitrich Gurov and Anna Sergeyevna are bound together, not by love, but by their psychological needs. Both need to believe in a phenomenon deeper and more meaningful than each of their despised lives and for this reason; they think the intimacy between them, fueled by desperation, is love. . In reality, the relationship between Gurov and Anna is characterized by lies, boredom with reality, and a desire for self-satisfaction. Physiologically, neither Gurov nor Anna posses the qualities needed to genuinely love another person. In order to do so, one must love themselves, an attribute neither one attains. Gurov, upon returning to Moscow after vacationing in Yalta, where he met the young, lonely, newlywed Anna, decides to seek her out after Moscow life seems intolerable to him. Thus, a frustrated boredom with life sends him to her, not love. The setting reflects the charade, as their rendezvous takes place at a provincial theater where The Geishsa is showing. While the plot line shows parallels to The Lady with the Pet Dog, more importantly, it takes place in an arena where acting and fantasy thrive, the theater. Together, Anna and Gurov act out their own performance in which they love one another, and although their love is nonexistent, in the end, they make believe that it is.…
