very interesting name that just screams military film. Based on the name‚ I did not think that it would be a documentary but I am very glad I went to class to view this particular film. Robert McNamara‚ is probably one of the most interesting men that I have watched on a documentary. 85 years old and answering every question he was asked with wit and with a charisma that no other man I have seen ever do with such ease. The perspective of the film regarding the reality of war was rational (at least

Film Reaction Idiocracy Watching this film was entertaining. I’ve seen it before on Comedy Central and thought it was funny to see how the U.S. was like hundreds of years later. I was excited to know that this film was on the list for doing this paper because I have seen it. This movie was right up my alley because the writer and director of the film is none other than Mike Judge. Of course‚ I’m a fan of his shows‚ especially “Beavis and ButtHead”.

ADAPTATION AS INTERPRETATION The debate on cinematic adaptations of literary works was for many years dominated by the questions of fidelity to the source and by the tendencies to prioritize the literary originals over their film versions. (Whelehan:2006) Adaptations were seen by most critics as inferior to the adapted texts‚ as “minor”‚ “subsidiary”‚ “derivative” or “secondary” products‚ lacking the symbolic richness of the books and missing their “spirit”. (Hutcheon:2006) Critics could not forgive

Where the BMW films a good idea? How successful was the campaign? In my opinion‚ the BMW films where a great idea at that specific moment in time. The company had no new product launches to promote. Furthermore‚ budget was available in order to “experiment” new ideas and innovative advertising and promotion actions. With this pure branding exercise BMW had little to lose (mainly money) and a huge deal to win. The campaign proved to be an incredibly successful one. In order to measure and justify

Review of the film The film‚ which really starts a few years before 1492 and closures a few years after the fact‚ begins off with a great deal of grave and traditionally successful scene-setting as Columbus’ child and biographer‚ Fernando‚ reviews his father‚ the visionary of inconceivable dreams.

But rather I focused around the moderate moving plot

Introduction: Following the release of his immensely popular 1934 film Jolly Fellows‚ director Grigori Aleksandrov found himself in an unenviable dilemma. While his films were quite successful with the Soviet people‚ the state itself was less than impressed with the lack of ideological content. And‚ given how they had full control over the making of future films‚ Aleksandrov realized that his career was potentially at risk‚ especially given the strict standards the censorship board followed in the
