Movie Analysis: Traffic In Souls
Last night I watched the silent black and white film called "Traffic in Souls". This movie was from 1913. Before watching the film I already set low expectations assuming the movie would not be well developed or entertaining to watch. However, within the first thirty minutes, I was hooked. "Traffic in Souls" surprisingly hooked, held, and awarded my attention. This movie took a risk by featuring a social justice problem faced in society. The success of the movie goes to show that a writer should never hold back their viewpoint even if it will cause an uproar in society.

    The Acclamations In Jack Kerouac's On The Road

    “On the Road” by Jack Kerouac, author during the Beats’ generation, is largely considered a novel that defined a generation. Despite this consideration, however, there are very many controversies linked to this book. Though many call the novel offensive, unexciting, and poorly written, Kerouac deserves the entirety of the acclamations he has received over the years as the result of his roman á clef.…

    Summary Of Melvin Van Peebles 'Classified History X'

    Classified History X by Melvin van Peebles thinking about how African Americans could be viewed in movies by younger generations. In the documentary Peebles, talks about that moment when he was 12 or 13 and he realizes that he feels shame coming out of the movie theater. This got me thinking back to all the times I would sit and watch movies as a kid. As my mother was a huge fan of the Turner classic movie station, I grew up watching movies such as Casablanca and Billy the kid. Most time I’d brush The old movies off, thinking they were ether too boring or to hurtful and scary. However, there were also times when I sit down next to my mother and admire all the pretty women on stage acting and the handsome men strutting across the screen. It got me wondering…

    Jesus Movie Analysis

    In the film Jesus, Joseph seemed to be one of the most important things in Jesus’ life, but in the Bible, there is almost no description of Joseph’s role as a father. Jesus cared about Joseph very much like his own father just like Joseph loved Jesus as his own. In the film, Jesus became very depressed and didn’t want to go preach to the world without his guidance when Joseph died. Joseph was his role model and Jesus did look up to him. Joseph did teach him how to be a carpenter and taught him how to be a servant to God.…

    Casino Royale: Theme of Terrorism

    Over a period of time, specific audiences construct expectations of different types of media, related to either what they have been told, or perhaps what the media have exposed them to in the past. Indeed, it could be argued that the success of a film to a large degree, rests on whether or not such expectations are met, surpassed, else the audience successfully surprised. Certainly, such expectations have to be addressed by the film, if it is to be considered satisfying for the audience, and in this way, elements within the film, such as character representations, the narrative and cinematography are all important components which allow this to be achieved. Additionally, the social and political context in which the film is being viewed must be considered, as it is against this background that their expectations will have been formed.…

    Film "Stagecoach" Analysis

    John Ford built a standard that many future directors would follow with his classic 1939 film “Stagecoach”. Although there were a plethora of western films made before 1939, the film “Stagecoach” revolutionized the western genre by elevating the genre from a “B” film into a more serious genre. The film challenged not only western stereotypes but also class divisions in society. Utilizing specific aspects of mise-en-scène and cinematography, John Ford displays his views of society.…

    Fiction Films In The 20th Century

    Fiction films are often stigmatised by historians, as they distort the truth, causing problems when trying to use them as a source. Their wildly varying content matter, inaccuracies, and bias make them hard to use. Film does not simply suggest a worldview; it states, and we experience, its existence as truth, which is the fundamental power and danger it poses to the observer. One cannot deny, however, film’s phenomenal impact in the twentieth century, drastically changing the way we see the world and how we absorb information. In this way, film is best considered as one stage in the ongoing history of communications. As a historical medium, therefore, fiction film can be very valuable, as despite fictitious content, it still has the potential…

    How To Write A Criminological Analysis Of The Movie Traffic

    In the film, Traffic directed by Steven Soderbergh, released on January 05, 2001, four stories are intertwined around the central issue of the war on drugs going on between the United States and Mexico. This film stars many Oscar-winning and Oscar-nominated actors and actresses which include but are not limited to, Benicio Del Toro, Michael Douglas, Cetherine Zeta-Jones, Don Cheadle, Luis Guzman, Erika Christensen, among others. I felt sad, yet interested about the topic of the film, as while it was very disheartening to see so many people die as a result of the war on drugs, it was still interesting to find out how all the stories in the film were connected. The causes of crime were direct results of the drug trade going on in Mexico and California.…
