Tobey Maguire: Film Analysis
Are you familiar with the ugly crying face Tobey Maguire had when he found Uncle Ben on the ground in the first spider man movie? As I was reading the end of the story, it was the exact same crying face I had on. Overall, I really enjoyed this story. Even though Philbert’s experience was painful, I liked how open he was with his feelings. I think anyone who has a pet can really empathize with him. After reading chapter 15, I was able to identify a few components that it talked about. The first component of a narrative that I was able to identify is the author’s use of flashbacks. Philbert tells the events that lead up to putting George down, and I noticed two times where he used flashbacks. The author reminisced the times when George would

    In the movie Django Unchained there are moments in which still occur in modern times unfortunately. It’s about a slave named Django who partners up with a German bounty hunter, as the story goes on African American slaves were tortured, killed, and in my eyes treated like they weren’t even humans. I believe in modern society some things like this happen still. For instance, I support our police department no doubt, but just in this year we have had some bad cops kill African American people. In my eyes, some of them were still committing minor crimes and the police took it to far by abusing and sometimes killing the suspect. Taking their authority and force to far, but i’m not stating all Police officers are bad because they aren’t. It relates…

    1.I believe what makes this film so great is the plot of the film combined with the actors ability to give life to the story. Gary Cooper who plays Kane in the film, is an upstanding and ethically good man. Since he demonstrates these characteristics in the film, he makes a believable Marshall. Another reason why this film is so great, is because of the hero premise. I believe this causes the "unsung hero" to resonate with the audience's feelings. This is shown at the very end of the film after the Marshall had confronted the criminals. Even though Kane had stopped Miller, no one in the town cheers or celebrates. They kinda of just accept it as it is and just move on without giving their thanks to the Marshall.…

    The film opens with a close up shot of Alex dressed in white with gray suspenders showcasing his false eyelashes on his right eye and with the brim of his pork pie hat tilted slightly downward. His ominous blue eyes peering right through you as if you did not even exist. Slowly the camera pulls back as Alex takes a sip of drug laced milk revealing the type of company he keeps. His “droogs” as Alex called them were seated next to him on a bench in the Korova Milk Bar. The Korova Milk Bar was decorated with nude figures of women posed as if they had fallen backwards and they attempted to catch themselves by putting their arms behind them. The flats of their stomachs doubled as a table where glasses of milk could be placed. Other nude statues…

    The piece as a whole, serves to be remarkably influential and impressionable. Philbert discusses and elaborates his opinion on ending a life to end suffering all while simply sharing a story. George’s death leaves the audience either questioning judgments or ensuring their opinions on the ethics of euthanasia. In the end, “George had left” and though Philbert did not agree with the decision he was forced to make, he came to realize the “good dogs…

    A movie like Fences only comes once in a great while. It is sort of an unconventional movie, unlike most. It is filmed almost as though it is a play, which is exactly how this film got its origins. Written by August Wilson in 1985, Fences started off as a Broadway play that ended up winning the Pulitzer Prize for Best Drama in 1987. This drama focuses on exploring the African-American experience and looks deep into the heart of race relations.…
