Lead by renowned adventurer Allan Quatermain, the League must use their exceptional powers to ensure that The Fantom’s plans for world domination do not come to fruition.
At the turn of the century, Venice in 1899 is cheery and full of happiness, until the Fantom striked. Buildings are falling like dominoes and are shrouded in mystery. Dark and gloomy, water splashes everywhere, a set that the Fantom was pleased to see!

    An important aspect of the film is that characters from both sides of the yard trespass to each other´s side. As described previously, Lisa and Stella go to the yard to discover what is in the box Throwald burry and this way Lisa becomes part of Jefferies´ fantasy. On the other hand, Thorwald at the end goes to Jeff´s apartment, it could be said that he “goes out of the screen” is materialized in reality. Thorwald assaults Jefferies; he is aggressive and tries to kill him (Stam & Pearson, 203). This could show the aggressive way in which art and the story shocks the audience by not only showing a theme about murder but by leading into a behavior that in real life wouldn´t be performed such as spying on other people, but at the end of the film…

    Probably the most crucial element of the narrative is that Irreversible is told backwards. Director John Boorman commented that a lot of film critics don’t understand the language of film as it’s directed. They’re more interested in traditional values of narrative and construction rather than other virtues such as the rhythm and flow, the underlying imagery and the underlying theme. (Boorman, 2009).…

    Although Open Range (2003) is made in the tradition of a classic Western, it questions the social and political aspect that often seems to define the western genre. The paradigm of the film sets out to give the “villainous” characters a chance to be heroes and have love and suggests that the law of the land, well, disrupts the land.…

    Stereotyping can be defined as sweeping generalizations about affiliates of a certain gender, nationality, religion, race, or other group. Social stereotyping has been a worldwide issue for many years. More specifically, stereotypical assertions, based on both gender and race, have been a common theme throughout many 20th and 21st century films. Both Crash, directed by Paul Haggis in 2004, and Girlfight directed by Karyn Kusama in 2000, address the issue of stereotyping in their own unique way. Girlfight does this by placing a female in the spotlight of a sport that is predominantly dominated by males, whereas, Crash confronts our problem with racial stereotypes and racism, and the need to counter them, by focusing on the “crash” humans experience by encountering people that they actually are already linked to. Throughout the film Girlfight, the crowd may have been against Diana, but her determination allowed her to fight off skeptics outside the ring and her opponents in the ring. Crash is a movie that brings out bigotry and racial stereotypes. While one story revolves around a gender debate, the other approaches the argument from the aspect of race and ultimately both combat the greater social issue of stereotyping.…

    The Salem Witch Trials are possibly the most notable examples of the persecution of witchcraft in the New World. In the 1996 film, The Crucible, based on the 1953 play by Arthur Miller, it portrays the trials from the point of view of a small community that’s disintegrated by frenzy and lunacy. In the film, it emphasizes the role of a group of girls being led by Abigail Williams, and illustrates how society was so strict for women, even as young as kids, that it caused a form of hysterical fear of witches, spirits and the Devil. These group of girls created an outlet of their own from their reality. The witch trials have been long used in political content as well as literature as a story to take into account how dangers of alienation, religious…
