Out of both of the movies we watched‚ the movie I found better was the American version. In the American version‚ the parts actually went in order which makes sense if you didn’t read the story. The British version of the story mixed the parts up a bit to make a flashback scene. I the American version didn’t miss any parts and was really detailed‚ the British version was a little shorter and some parts that didn’t really matter was cut off. In this American version Mary comes back from the grocery

Personally‚ I feel that directors should have some degree of freedom to be creative; that is what they are meant to do. At the same time‚ I think it is important to stick to the major plotlines of book adaptations. I do agree with the argument “Columbus’s movies are like historical reenactments‚ the films of [later directors] are dynamic and make us see the origionals anew‚” but I do not think that is a bad thing. To examine this idea‚ I will compare and contrast Harry Potter and the Sorcerer’s Stone and

Disney princess movies. All of which the princess’s get treated in a particular manner‚ dress a certain way‚ and physically look a typical way. As kids watch this‚ they believe that they need to act‚ dress‚ and get treated the way these princess’s do.

There are die-hard fans of Western movies and those who watch Westerns for the action and the great nature scenes and of course those darling horses. There are some Western movies that I like with actors like John Wayne but I was never a real fan. Let’s step back in time to look at a famous cowboy actor named Tom Mix. He died a very strange death on October 12‚ 1940. Mix had was involved in a car accident close to his ranch in Florence‚ Arizona. He was driving his single-seat roadster along a straight

Trapped in Violence’s mindset The more we are exposed to violence the less we take it seriously because of what is seen in movies‚ read in books‚ and accessed on social media. According to Barbara Osborn “TV and film criminals are 100% bad and they have no families…they deserve no sympathy and they get what they deserve”.

One could ascribe the comparative quality of the two‚ implying that movies are superior to books. However‚ a more accurate‚ yet less popular affirmation would be that books are superior to films and that superiority is not necessarily synonymous with prevalence. To go into detail in a movie the same way as one might in a book would be painfully difficult. The resulting abomination would be torturously monotonous due to movies very nature‚ which panders to the short attention spans of the average

For many years‚ movies have be dominantly played by white people‚ who‚ most of the time‚ are depicted as the “hero” or “savior.” People of color have always been in movies‚ however‚ they are presumably depicted as troublesome‚ in danger‚ or incapable of defending or protecting themselves.

The white savior complex is destructive and affects
