    Stereotypes In The Film The Forbidden Kingdom

    The Forbidden Kingdom is an American fighting movie made in 2007. Throughout the movie, the main character takes a pounding from some kids in the ghetto that believe that they should bully because they can. Then later on, that kid is transported into ancient China where he must help save a legendary figure, having help from a local man that seems like the town drunk. The man however is able to ward of many soldiers at a time while still holding his alcohol. The only one in the movie that isn't skilled at fighting is the white boy. The movie creates a good representation of the typical asian and american stereotypes and the location adds to the effect of diminishing the white culture versus the asian.…

    Crouching Tiger Hidden Dragon: an Analytical Review

    Perhaps, the knowledge that even the greatest cinematic martial arts sequences are only heightened by a powerful narrative, spurred Ang Lee to make a film out of the Chinese novel Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon. In this film, the narrative's primary function is not only to frontline the brilliantly choreographed fighting scenes, but also to adjoin such sequences with a powerful narrative that touches upon the emotional vulnerability associated with the human condition. Ultimately, Lee's final product seems to be breaking free from the conventions of the clichéd martial art films of his past, by submitting a product that has a multi-layered narrative which is only enhanced by cinematographic effects and editing.…

    Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon

    The Taiwan-born Ang Lee rapidly established himself in the 1990s as one of the world's most versatile film-makers, moving on from the trilogy of movies about Chinese families that made his name to Jane Austen's England (Sense and Sensibility) and Richard Nixon's America (The Ice Storm). If he revisits a place or genre it's to tell a very different story – a martial arts movie in medieval China (Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon) is followed by a spy thriller in wartime Shanghai (Lust, Caution), and a western with a US civil war background (Ride With the Devil) is succeeded by a western about a gay relationship in present-day Wyoming (Brokeback Mountain).…

    Analysis Of Crouching Tiger Hidden Dragon

    Diasporic cinema is any film making surrounding a community that is not a part of its country of origin. Ang Lee’s Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon can be identified as a diasporic film, and this can be traced back to simply Lee’s birth. Lee is of Taiwanese decent and reportedly had never been to China before shooting Crouching Tiger. This can be seen throughout the film as it mystically depicts China through the eyes of the diasporic Lee. While the film was highly authentic, the authenticity was based on the world’s shared stereotypical view of China and not China itself. Ang Lee created a China he discovered through stories, films, and…

    Of all the disturbances being listed in the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM-IV-TR)1 only a few of them have not yet been portrayed in films. Cinema has certainly been fascinated by insanity and its manifestations, and psychiatric disorders have provided film directors and scriptwriters with a stream of material for their scripts, action, and themes. Taking that interest into account, it is necessary to reflect on the vision of mental disturbances that has been transmitted by cinema to the public in general. For most average citizens the only contact they may have with the psychiatric reality is through cinema; hence, films are their one - yet strong -…

    Shawshank Redemption

    As of today, over thirty, well known critics would consider Shawshank Redemption to be the greatest movie of all time. Although the film has been given this title, director and writer Frank Darabont knows the true genius behind this story is writer, Stephen King. Stephen King is mostly known for his horror, suspense books, but this time he wrote a book about Andy Dufresne, a banker from Maine who is wrongly charged with murdering his cheating wife and her lover. King writes “Rita Hayworth and the Shawshank Redemption” in the first person narrative, in the form of a monologue written by the character, Red. Throughout the whole story Red is presenting us with his recollection of imprisonment and the story of Andy Dufresne. One thing noting about how King placed Red as our narrator is that many of the things Red speaks about comes from rumors he claims he heard around the prison. This goes to show us that King intentionally placed an unreliable narrator to hold our hands through the story.…

    Lion King

    The interactions and relations between European colonists and Native Americans were at times problematic and other times constructive, nevertheless transforming both cultures significantly. Before the arrival of Europeans, many native cultures occupied the lands and considered it to be their homeland with their own thriving culture and way of life. European settlers and explores invaded the area, only hoping to gain power, wealth, land, and control. With very aggressive attitudes, the Europeans considered their culture and society superior, causing a drastic change in lifestyle for the Native Americans. The consequences of contact between these two groups varied, some leading to the exchange of new ideas and resources, while others led to disastrous encounters. Readings from the Norton Anthology such as John Smith, William Bradford, and Mary Rowlandson all include different stories about the encounters between the Natives and Europeans.…

    I am sending this letter in regards to your 2007 film King of Kong: A Fistful Quarter. In all, I believe your film sufficed to display the intensity competitive gaming but lacked in the aspect of character portrayals. After watching your film I have come to the consensus that Billy Mitchell was dramatized as a character of heroic status only to aid the plot of the film that therefore deprived him of the recognition he deserves.…

    13th Warrior Failure

    The 13th Warrior, a movie by Michael Crichton, along with John McTiernan. From the author of Jurassic Park together with the director of Die Hard, the majority expected this movie to be a smash at the box office. Consequently, it became one of the worst flops in history with nearly all critics calling it an exceptionally expensive forfeiture of $94,150,551. But why did it plunge with such an accomplished author and director involved? A film critic of the Chicago Sun-Times, Roger Ebert, wrote “this could, indeed, have been a fascinating tale,” when describing The 13th Warrior. Here is where the discrepancy lies, instead of calling the movie a flop, advertising befell this motion picture as well as where the mistake occurred. I would take delight in the opportunity to discuss three very specific points that lead to the tragic homicide of this film.…
