Cool Runnings: Film Analysis
COOL RUNNINGS
I like the film “ Cool Runnings”. There are three interesting things in the film that we could learn learn from in life.
First, it is the determination. In fact, the greatest determination is that four young men living in the hot Jamaica country practiced hard bobsledding on the grass to complete in the winter Olympic Games in Calgary Canada. Furthermore, in order to go to Canada, they convinced local authorities with perseverance by knocking on doors to support them, and try to do everything in their might to earn money. In addition, they were real athletes but amateurs in the true sense of the word bobsledding. Without willpower, they could not have made it. Therefore, where there is a will there is a way. They showed true

    Warm Bodies was directed by Jonathan Levine. It tells the love story between a zombie, R, and a human, Julie. The zombies begin to change and turn into the living. As they do this, they must convince the humans. R and his friend, M, go into the protected stadium to prove they are changing. When the bonies (the zombies in the final stage of decay) catch onto their change, they go after the zombies. The zombies then join the humans to fight against them.

    Cinema is a set of landscapes accompanied by a story. However, landscapes tell a story of their own. They tell more than just the story, but the underlying thoughts behind the film. This can be seen in Blade Runner by Ridley Scott, THX 1138 by George Lucas, and Children of Men by Alfonso Cuaron, as the landscapes help develop the complexity of the story. The directors of these films use setting and landscape to express and contribute to the development of the main argument of each film.…

    As a result of the immense sexual objectification of women in sports in modern times, ''Playing the Field:Sports and sex in America”' examines the evolution of women's sports from a time when sweating was taboo, as was wearing shorts, to temporarily, when the muscular physiques of Venus and Serena Williams reflect new paradigms of beauty. Ironically, when many women first began to play sports, they were shunned and covered up, unable to play in venues with men in attendance because it would be unladylike for men to see women sweat. Therefore, how we as Americans react contemporarily to women's sports (glorification, hypersexualization), represents a stark contrast. Therefore, a downside of hypermasculinity, is the burden that it puts on male and female athletes who don’t meet its standards. From requiring women to be fully covered in a full body veil to having women play tackle…

    In the movie “Bernie”, we follow the story and between a Carthage, Texas funeral director Bernie Tiede, and his co-dependent relationship with a wealthy widow, Marjorie Nugent. As “Bernie” unfolds, we see the companionship turn for the worse as Ms. Nugent’s ill-temper causes Bernie to snap – and lands her dead in her freezer. This movie brings up some questions, specifically regarding image. After analysis, the question I keep coming back to is “Was Bernie genuine and sincere? Or was it all a façade?” Although Bernie committed a horrible crime, I believe the answer to this question is “yes”- Bernie was a genuine man.…

When we got to the museum, there weren’t very many…
