Cinema Midterm Paper In this paper I have decided to compare and contrast Frank Capra’s “It Happened One Night” and Billy Wilder’s “Double Indemnity”. While screening both these movies in class I came across some noticeable differences between these two films‚ the main difference was in how women were portrayed and in who exactly was pulling all the strings and was in control the whole time. In the film “It Happened One Night” Ellie Andrews‚ played by Claudette Connolly‚ was put as a somewhat

In the book‚ All the Light We Cannot See‚ by Anthony Doerr‚ many of the characters stories can seem fascinating to the modern reader.

Cinema Only Entertains; But Does Not Educate the Masses Cinema is one of the major upcoming entertainments in this global village. There are prodigious numbers of films released worldwide every year.

There is no doubt that cinema from Hollywood to Kollywood entertains the masses; but it does not educate them
