    The storytelling technique made use by Cameron in the film Titanic is special because history and fiction is inculcated within the plot. For example, Cameron made use of the history of RMS Titanic as the main plot of the film. But he was aware of the fact that mere history of a cruise ship will not satisfy the global viewers. So, he decided to inculcate fiction and romance to the main plot. Parisi (1998), states that “Cameron’s gift was to create a unique movie going experience, one audiences couldn’t get from any other film” (202). One can easily identify that inculcation of fiction and romance is helpful for the director to be free from portraying a film from historical perspective. At the same time, the historical…

    The movie theater industry is highly competitive, both within the film entertainment industry (as with Netflix and pirated films) and with substitute goods, such as live performances, restaurants, and sporting events. In addition, industry competitors have an extremely low level differentiation from one another, which is partially due to the reactive nature of the industry. It is also due to the considerable dependency on major film production companies.…

    Movies have always been a way to escape the world for a little while. Comedies, action films, and even horror; what happens in movies doesn’t always happen in real life, but sometimes it does. They open doors to the past, present, and future. I just finished watching the movie Elizabeth (1998) and the funny thing is I actually learned. Elizabeth is a great movie because while being entertaining it shows many of the 6 main themes of AP World History. War, violence, and religion are all parts of this movie, each part of a different theme. Now I would like to explain how this movie relates to World History.…

    From the period of the mid 19th Century Aboriginals and Natives in America have faced widespread stereotypes and omissions as well as outright being the ones suppressed in society by the Western white colonizers, what can be seen here is a trend on how the public has been fed with films that display and antagonizes the First Nations people. However as society changed and became tolerant there has been a new surge of cinema that has commissioned itself to resolve the issue of misrepresentations and stereotypes of the aboriginals.1 The question we ask ourselves is, is this process really working and if not do they produce even more problems? An example of this problem we are presented with is the 1991 film Clearcut which is about a lawyer who loses an appeal against the clear-cutting of native land which in turn angers the native community. Arthur one of the more extremist natives decides to kidnap the logging mill manager and later on kidnaps the lawyer as a means of punishment and torture.2 The film itself portrays the punishment and torture of the captives as a series of trials for them to understand nature and to inflict the same pain that they did to them. This film brings into question on the many problems this type of cinema represents in the aboriginal community. It presents to use the exploitation of native lands, the general stereotyping of natives in cinema, and the eventual way to solve the problem representation.3…

    In the Cold War era of communist witch hunts, and blacklisting, Hollywood executives had even more pressing worries: the imminent death of the studio system and the meteoric rise of television, which subsequently led to a drastic decline in ticket sales. To combat the drop in profits, the studios quickly sought to attract moviegoers—particularly families—from the living room by enhancing and exploiting their medium's technological advantages, namely its relatively large image size and its color format. Not coincidentally, the 1950s were the first decade of drive-in movie theaters, stereo sound, wide-screen formats, and epics shot in glossy color, and a full gamut of movie such as 3-D film technology.…

    1.Witty pals and Sundance join the Gang in successfully robbing yet another train with their trademark non-lethal style. Butch and Sundance are soon holed up in a barn surrounded by scores of Bolivian soldiers who are waiting for the pair to make one last run for it. 2.They take cover in a building, but are both seriously wounded when Butch has to make a run to the mules for more ammunition. As dozens of Bolivian soldiers surround the area, Butch suggests the duo's next destination should be Australia. 3.The film ends with a freeze frame shot on the pair charging out of the building, guns blazing, as the Bolivian forces fire repeatedly on them. I chose these scenes because these scenes were important and these scenes started the chain of effects in the movie ( starting, climax, end). The final scene serves as the ultimate symbol for the youth. The film…
