The Freaks Movie Analysis
Freaks is a movie about circus performers that have various disabilities. In the movie Han’s agrees to marry Cleopatra, a beautiful trapeze artist. At the wedding shower Cleopatra tries to poison Han’s for money and even later in the movie as she says she is giving him his medicine when it is really poison. In the end the “Freaks” took revenge for her trying to kill their friend. This movie has a strong message of how strong a family really is. I know from personal experience that family ties are so strong. Even when you haven’t see them in years they will still be there when you are going through a rough time. The “Freaks” wouldn’t stand for their friend being taken advantage of. Family bond is the real message coming across in this movie.

    After the civil right movement, films such as Unforgiven, Posse, Silverado, and even Django Unchained paid tribute to a 1970’s Blaxploitation era. Still movies like Unforgiven, Silverado, and Posse had black leads dying, but they died in a more heroic form. The 1993 film Posse reversed the skin color of the actors from the film The Wild Bunch. The film is basically a re-vision of the film The Wild Bunch. The film Posse is also a contemporary western settings, classic west themes, classic firearms, and ideas, but staring black actors now. Also to note, rapper Big Daddy Kane’s character Father Time soon posing as Ku Klux Klan member, to rescue his group from trouble.

    Based solely on the novel of Divergent a movie was made lasting two hours and nine minutes. This isn't a short span of time for a movie yet, could it be pure coincidence that they left out some details. Could it have been some of the effects were to gruesome for a film rated PG-13? Or were these actions of leaving the details out more purposeful? Does it give the movie somewhat of a different meaning than the original script of the book? So it brings into question, who wrote it better the writer of the novel Veronica Roth, or the director of the film Neil Burger?…

    We are venturing again to Los Angeles this week where 1987 graduate, Corey Jackson, works as a film and television composer. After a movie is made, Corey meets with the director of the film to “spot” the film. This is the process of deciding where music should go in the film and what emotions the music should portray. After the spot, Corey writes the music for one scene at a time. Each composition is sent to the director for approval. Corey says that the director may like it the first time or may send it back with notes and suggestions for him to try again. “Once that is completed I, with the help of my team, will record, mix and deliver the music to the dubbing stage for final mix,” says Jackson. He also describes being on the set of a movie as not glamorous, contrary to what some may think. On a constant deadline, he says working is hard, time consuming, and challenging, but working with like minded people who all have the same ultimate goal and work ethic makes it easier.…

    Miss Evers was truly acting in the best interest of her patients. She truly cared about them and when times became tough, she stood by their side through the entire study. In the movie, she believed that she honored her oath and gave them all she had. Miss Evers should first do no harm. After she found out about the withheld treatment, she continued to follow through with the study; even though she knew Syphilis would kill her patients and that Penicillin could treat their illness. I believe she advocated for the patients when she found out about the Penicillin, but the doctor whom she trusted felt the study was necessary for the greater good to prove it’s not an African American disease. I felt like he made her feel guilty, because he knew…

    The Vampire Film Analysis

    The final part of Perkowski’s analysis outline is evaluating the social and psychological role of the vampire for the time period it was originally intended for. Since this film was released during the 1980’s it is viewed as being in line with many people’s beliefs at the time that family values were declining, as divorce rates were high, and people believed that these values needed to be re-established in society. Additionally, people believed that this problem could be blamed on and was due to the hippie generation, which is why the film also contains many references to hippies, including the music Michael and Sam’s mother Lucy listens to and the marijuana plant that their grandfather has in his kitchen. Michael, Sam, and their mother are…

    In 1932 Tod Browning released, Freaks, a movie that is centered on telling the story of circus people and the challenges they face; it shows their everyday struggles among themselves along with their interactions with the “normal” people in the circus. I think it was in Browning’s interests not to make fun of these people, but to show the harm and hurt that “normal” people in society are capable of doing. The movie revolves around, Hans, a dwarf and his lust for the beautiful normal Cleopatra. Hans willing to throw everything away for this woman, even his engagement to his finance when the entire time Cleopatra is in a relationship with Hercules. These two characters take advantage of Hans in order to take his fortune of money.…
