Do the Right thing

In my personal oppinion i feel as if Mookie almost did do the right thing given the circumstances, and even if it isnt seen as "the right thing" people do things that they regret or arent good all the time when something happens that makes them angry, when something happens like ur friend dieing or any person dieing for that matter for no reason i know that that makes me very upset no matter if i know them or not. and so i think he was just acting out of anger and didnt really realize what he was doing and just acted out.

battle of algiers

in battle of algiers the director did not show which side he was for or against giving you a full view of both sides and why both sides might have done what the did. as an example the director used the same sad music after each bombing, the one from the french and the one from the algierians. showing the dead bodies taken out and how sad and misserable the people all were in the same light giving you freedom to decide which side you want to side with. another example is when the algierian woman was about to bomb a resturant and she was looking all around at all the people you can tell that she feels bad about what she has to do, but thats just it she has to do it, so you feel bad for her and the french most likely in this part

Eternal "shunshine"

In eternal sunshine there was in intense amount of speical effects, without them the movie would not have been on the level it was at. this movie was a very twisted romantic comedy and it really made you think about real life even though nothing in the movie could actually happen, it makes you think that maybe even though that movie is impossible, sometimes things feel as messed up as in the movie, and sometimes you let things get out of control with your feelings and you need to come back down to earth and really remember what you care about and realize why you are feeling the ways you are. this movie was a great movie because the speical effects really make you think, sometimes about your own dreams and reality at the same time.

His Girl Friday

His Girl Friday was a very fast paced movie, with a lot of fast dialogue, the best part of the movie is that even though everything points to walter being not the greatest guy, you know that hildy and him are going to end up together and that they are perfection for each other, and it almost makes you root for walter in a way, because you know that he loves hildy and hildy loves him. i also find it ironic that walter literally does everything wrong, and he still gets the girl in the end and we as an audience are still happy for them no matter what. i find it interesting that as an audience we can be so forgiving of a person but in real life we would most likely not be that forgiving at all. its almost like we wish real life were as simple and complex as the movies are, where you absolutly know that everything is going to work out no matter what.

Westerns

I am choosing to write about the final gun scene and some symbols within it. in the end the quote is said "I don't deserve to die like this" and in reply "Deserves got nothing to do with it" i think that this is symbolic in the sense that he is telling him that Ned didn't deserve to die and all of the other people he has killed just now and before this all of them didn't deserve to die either, so what he is saying is that maybe no one really deserves to die at all ever, but that has nothing to do with the fact that all people die at one point in their lives, whether it is early in life, or of old age. Also a think something that is symbolic is the fact that he shot curley first, the man who has the least to do with anything that is going on, other than the fact that he has neds dead body out on display in front of his bar, which also could be argued that having ned out for display is almost worse than actually killing him.

In The Lord of the Rings Andy Serkis plays Gollum and wears a big blue suit which with computer imaging he becomes Gollum and i could not write it better than this quote explains how he makes gollum come to life

Few of the hundreds of characters within The
Lord of the Rings are as fascinating as the tormented Gollum. Though he is
entirely computer-generated onscreen, his haunted personality is brought vividly
to life through the extraordinary talent and performance of Andy Serkis.
Serkis's voice, body, and facial movements served as the electronic blueprint
for the technical wizards who conjured the character seen in the film, and it
was his physical presence — later removed digitally — that served as the foil
for the actors playing Frodo and Sam. The behind-the-scenes story of a
breakthrough cinematic achievement is told in this book.

as the quote states this man really is the character gollum, he makes gollum so scary and makes him really come to life, and makes the movie and character what it is.

the blue suit makes it so that they can put on the gollum costume with all computer generation.

"Savages"

In the movie Stagecoach a huge concept is the fact that the Indian's are viewed as bloodthirsty savages attacking anyone who isn't one of them for no reason. They are portrayed this way because that's how they were portrayed in the time frame that this movie was made. This reflects the culture and paints a picture to how things were viewed differently back then then things are now. i think that portraying them this way and not giving them any names or identity's makes the suspense way higher wondering what will happen and rooting on the stagecoach people to get away.

But at the same time it is sort of unfair to the Indians and the actual real history behind everything that was happening at that time, it is sort of a one sided story we are watching and kind of jips us of the actual historical back round. understanding that maybe this movie was just made this way for viewing and entertainment purposes not to actually show the real history and back round does give it somewhat of an excuse to portray the Indians as savages.

In conclusion i think that Indians are portrayed as savages and not given any identities or names because we as an audience are not supposed to create a emotional connection with them, we are supposed to hate them and only see them as attacking the stage coach out of pure evilness and no other reason.

Citizen Cane

In Citizen Cane, a use a sound is used. Random abrupt noises pop out almost everywhere when Welles is transitioning, he uses loud nondiegetic noises as his transitions most of the time sometimes they are diegetic. This comes from the new use of sound in movies, it was a new thing to people so he was just using his new resources. Some examples of this are when he changes from a quiet scene to a loud scene where it is raining and a huge bright picture of a woman comes up, another example is when a random bird pops out of no-where. Welles is choosing a manipulating sounds to make the movie more interesting and more candy for the ears.

Pinocchio from the producers of Walt Disney (1940) and by director Ben Sharpsteen is a fantastic movie, when I was a little girl I would always be frightened by the movie, especially the part when Pinocchio becomes a donkey, that part was the most terrifying thing I could think of back then, in addition to beauty in the beasts wolf attack. Those two moments where the most terrifying, pee in my pants, want to run and hide and never look, nothing could have been scarier.
The main characters in the movie are Pinocchio (voiceover by Dickie Jones) a wooden boy doll that wants to be a good boy and a real boy, Geppetto (Christian Rub) Pinocchio’s creator/ father like figure, jiminy cricket (Cliff Edwards) the cricket that can sing. The setting of this film is olden time Italy. Throughout the movie Pinocchio runs away because he was a bad boy and is now on a quest to become a real boy running into all sorts of hurdles and problems, like his nose growing every time he tells a lie, or being trapped inside of a whales belly, and the classic point where he becomes a donkey.
In this film there aren’t any special effects or special animation they literally used scissors and glue for editing, and had to draw each and every frame to perfection, for every little move the characters made it was a whole bunch of different frames to make it look smooth. As you can imagine this probably took an ungodly amount of time but their hard work paid off because their movie came out beautifully, one that they can be extremely proud of.
The colors are amazing and vibrant in this movie; they are really bold and done beautifully. This movie would be a cartoon so I would say it would be highly unlikely, well structured, and unbelievable, but when you are a little girl or boy nothing is more believable than movies like this and others that Walt Disney has created. When you are a small child you are so involved with the movie every little thing jumps out at you and you want to see the movie over and over again. When you are little I fell you are always analyzing movies subconsciously, at least I did, and your squirrels in your brain are working over time for you to understand what is going on in the movie and all the different effects. When I was little I loved watching movies, and especially Walt Disney’s classics they let me be in a different world where magic did exist and miracles do happen, and all my dreams can come true, cause all the characters in my movies dreams were. These movies gave me hope for the future and told me I can do whatever I set my mind to, even though I was scared to death of watching Pinocchio when I was younger it has become one of my all time favorite childhood movies that I can still enjoy today.

Movies and Smoking

We have all seen it, but we rarely actually realize what we are watching, big movie stars smoking on the big screen. Are tobacco companies secretly brainwashing us to think that smoking is the thing to do? well it seems to be working quite well. Big tobacco companies such as marlboro and camel have somehow snuck their products into almost all of the most popular movies, making todays teens and youth think that it is cool. These movies account for 52% of our youth to light up.
smoking in movies is a huge problem yet, it still is going on and movie producers are not doing anything about it, it seems they are getting funding for doing it, but yet both movie producers and big tobacco companies swear that no funds are transfered for the screen time.
so do the movie producers just not care about todays youth, or what is going on in their heads?

Taking all other factors into account — such as whether their parents smoke —
seeing a lot of smoking in movies tripled the odds that teens would try smoking.
• More important, exposure to smoking in the movies quadrupled the chance
that nonsmokers’ kids would start.

this fact really made me think, how can people be doing this and not caring about the new generations coming into this world, you would think that people would care a little bit, but i guess that is asking to much.

Balls of Fury

The review "Movie Review: 'Balls of Fury' serves up cheerful looniness" makes me want to go and see Balls of Fury in a way but the author is sort of mocking the film as you read on. I feel the author might have some mixed feelings about the movie. It really makes me think about my experience watching the movie and what made me laugh and why that was. Was i only laughing because i heard someone Else's laugh and was laughing at them? Did i actually find the movie funny? Did i just feel like acting like a 13 year old boy laughing at everything that is immaturely funny, or did i just wanna let go and go with the flow? All these questions were running through my mind right after i had read this review and i realized that it was a combination of both. Even though the movie was seriously ridiculous at the time i found it hilarious.

The cheerfully dumb "Balls of Fury" thumbs its nose at sports movies,
underground fighting tournament flicks, and squares in the audience. It's
schlocky and tasteless but also good-natured and harmless, and the people who
come out to see it will get just what they want: 90 minutes of freewheeling,
switch-off-your-brain laughs.

For some reason this quote really caught my eye, it made me think about the movie in perspective, and it sparked my millions of questions. Although I'm not quite sure this review would make people want to jump out of their chairs and run to see this movie, i don't think it really gives or takes anything away from the movie, its a strait forward opinion of the movie, in which i share of the movie.

"Balls of Fury" revels in dumb gags, aggressively cheesy production design
and over-the-top performances. Fogler, with the manic energy of a young John
Belushi, makes his role a showcase for physical comedy, and the 78-year-old Hong
is a treasure.

I think that this movie is entertaining partly because it is super cheesy and way to unrealistic, and sometimes you just need to see that just to bring you back down to earth. Sometimes we just get to into all of the crazy special effects that are way over the top, making it seem like you are right in the action. This movie has special effects but, they are for a humorous part to make things seem really fake instead of realistic. In conclusion i loved Balls of Fury in all of its goofiness that are so stupid you have to laugh out loud.
