Analysis Of Alfred Hitchcock's Caddyshack

One’s ability and need to love reflects the sole purpose of being human, it begins at birth and carries on throughout adolescent years and adulthood, but contrary to the simplicity of loving a person, when one experiences an inability to express their love and gratitude for a person, it takes an incredibly unimaginable toll on his/her mental and emotional stability which in due time results in a form of depression. The feeling of depression emerges from the low spirits and loss of hope and courage accompanying a person, and while each case of depression varies in effect, the movie, The babadook, expresses its severe control, capable and detrimental power over a person, and the extreme coping measures. In the movie The Babadook, depression abruptly

Not only are films entertaining, but they can have a crucial impact on society. Films can educate one's life by shining light on the political issues in society and struggles individuals face on a daily basis. A film that has a strong dialogue has the ability to open the audience's eyes to look at the world in a different perspective. The film American Son will take the audience on an emotional rollercoaster and feel an intense amount of sadness. The film demonstrates diversity, stereotypes, and finding one's identity.

To make a story interesting, the characters have a complex personality and change as the book progresses. People like seeing how the character they come to love gets through the problem and how they change to solve it. Though sometimes the change is slow, subtle hints imply transformation occurs. In Ken Kesey’s, One Who Flew Over the Cuckoo’s Nest, the main character—Chief Bromden—is known for being deaf and dumb. However his disability is only a façade, and soon he breaks out of his shell thanks to a new member of the mental institute McMurphy.

Film has the ability to capture events in time that visual narrate suffering, pain, honor, and death. These elements of the human experience separates photography and cinema from other art forms, as the viewer witnesses what they believe is untampered truth. So what better way to visually document and tell the story of the greatest war ever fought in modern time, World War II. This war was of biblical proportions with over 72 million casualties and scares that were felt in almost every part of the world form Europe, China, Middle East, North Africa, South-East Asia and the Pacific. World War II set a script of tremendous magnitude that any director would love to depict with names like Franklin D. Roosevelt, Joseph Stalin, Winston Churchill, Gen. Patton, and Gen. Eisenhower leading the allied forces against the evilness set by the axis forces of Hirohito’s Japan, Benito Mussolini’s Italy, and the most villainous of all Germany’s Adolph Hitler.

Doe Zantamata, an American author, once said, “Good friends help you find the most important things when you have lost them... your smile, your hope, and your courage.” In Frank Darabont’s film The Shawshank Redemption, hope and friendship are a large part of the characters’ lives, as they are inmates in the Shawshank prison. Andy is a newcomer and intrigues Red, an inmate who has been in the prison for a long time. Although Red is not sure what to think of him at first, they soon become good friends.

The Breakfast Club is not in fact a movie about bacon 'n eggs. It’s a coming of age film about five coincidentally different teenagers all linked together by one common element, Saturday detention. At first, they are all close-minded and judgmental of each other until coming to realize they may be from different circles of friends but are not so different in the end. This film is still remarkably relatable to this day. Everyone in this film is in his or her own societal bubbles, but come to understand they are all facing the same problems.

Alfred Hitchcock’s Rear Window has several themes. One major theme is relationships. The lead character, Jeff Jeffries, a photographer and committed bachelor, is involved in a relationship with Lisa Fremont, a model, although the relationship has some tension due to Jeff’s lack of commitment. When Jeff is confined to his apartment recovering from a broken leg, he begins spying through his rear window on his neighbors in a nearby apartment. Through her frequent visits, Lisa is drawn into this spying as well.

Many argue when the Golden age of Film Noir ended. One on the most common arguments is that Orsons Wells A Touch of Evil was the last of the great Noirs. However, the real last true noir may actually be Alfred Hitchcock 's Vertigo which came out later the same year is the true last noir. The first evidence Vertigo gives us is the main character John "Scottie" Ferguson. Scottie is a ex-detective with a past that haunts him.

Josiah Koser 04/10/2017 Robert Sklar, Movie-Made America, Random House inc., New York City, New York, 1994. The argument made by the author Robert Sklar in his book Movie-Made America has to do with the impact that American movies have had on the country's culture and society as a whole. Sklar says this by stating that, “American movies, through much of their span, have altered or challenged many of the values and doctrines of powerful social and cultural forces in American society, providing alternative ways of understanding the world.”

SETTING One Flew Over the Cuckoo’s Nest takes place in Oregon during the late 1950’s or early 1960’s in a mental hospital. We know this because the memory of World War II is fresh in Bromden’s and McMurphy’s minds. The environment is very grey, dull, confining, and machine-like. There is very little warmth before McMurphy’s arrival.

Gone with the Wind Analysis While watching the film Gone with the Wind most people would pay little to no attention to details like camera angle or lighting. However, Gone with the Wind is a great example of mise-en-scene ,what is physically being shot in the scene without editing and can include, but is not limited to camera movement, lighting, focus and scenery, in many different ways. Mise-en-scene actually appears during the first scene when Scarlett is sitting on the steps of Tara, her family’s plantation, along with her two of her male companions. Scarlett is sitting on the top stair while the twins are sitting on stairs below hers almost as if they were worshipping her. Scarlett is also looking down upon the twins as if she were superior to them.

Citizen Kane story is using different points of view and is making a classification of narrative in the film. This movie is a revolution for Hollywood in the idea of a singl story teller and uses multple narrators to expose Kane's life. In every shot of the movie we see the different part of Charles Foster Kane's life in the different narrator story parts. A singl narrative in the bigining of the movie is follow with the different narrative which tell the Kane's life in different shots. Too many storis arrange and understand Kane's life and in this point narrative is a way of structuring, to engage us with cinematic structure.

The voice giving the narrative in the introduction of the film told it in a tone that really set the stage. The music fit the scenes. They both were all over the place. This was fitting for an Alfred Hitchcock movie. He would make the scenes so erratic that the viewers could become dizzy.

Kylie Mawn Professor Rodais CINE 121 Midterm 4 March 2018 Question 1: Citizen Kane (Orson Welles, 1941) is a film that is well known for pushing cinematic boundaries in many ways.

Typical, only specific characters or objects are in focus in any given frame in order to guide the audience’s attention in a scene, but deep focus can bring a new level of sophistication to a shot.
