Cinema Originality‚ Where did it go? In the recent years‚ I feel as though I have not seen an original movie. I am constantly frustrated with the obscene number of remakes‚ sequels‚ prequels‚ spin-offs‚ and movies based on other things like video games. I think the worst kind of unoriginal movie is the remake. It literally takes a pinkie’s worth of thought to remake a movie. The movie company also has less to worry about money-wise because there is already a built in audience with people

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.

Some cinematic examples of this include some of the greatest movies of all time‚ like Schindler’s List‚ Braveheart‚ and Lawrence of Arabia. Another great movie of this genre is Saving Private Ryan. Released in 1998
