It later informs Sarah about Miles Dyson, the man who is responsible for the creation of Skynet. Sarah decides the best plan of action is to flee to Mexico until she has a dream about a nuclear explosion. This changes her mind and sets out alone to kill Dyson to prevent him from finishing his microprocessor which would allow him to form Skynet. John realizes what she wants to do and tries to stop her. Sarah arrives and injures him but cannot bring herself to land the final blow. They reason with Dyson and agree to work together to destroy his designs. Together they break into Cyberdyne and destroy the lab along with his research. The T-1000 continues to chase John and corners Sarah. It attempts to use her to lure John out. The Terminator steps in to try and fight him off but is severely damaged and is shut down. The Terminator rises again using its backup power and finishes the T-1000 with a final grenade launcher shot, knocking it into melted metal. To finish its mission the Terminator explains it must also be destroyed and Sarah assists it in lowering itself into the molten metal.

I'm not going to sleep in my bed again.
Scott: A watch with his initials on it, a day planner with the murder scheduled, a haiku called "Time to Kill Dr. Jeffrey O'Dwyer." "Dr. O'Dwyer, time to have your head smashed in, with my new hammer." Terrance, you may be a famous surgeon, but you're not God. Je accuse Terrance.
After saving the planet from a ruthless dictator and barely avoiding death on the hills of Mars, Douglas Quaid (Schwarzenegger) puts a final spin on Total Recall with his final lines: "I just had a terrible thought. What if this is all a dream?" This last statement by Quaid leaves the audience pondering the question of reality, wondering what truly was 'real.' By the end of the film, one could easily argue a whole realm of possibilities: The events were all real; they were all a dream; they were the Recall implant fantasy played out; or they were the Recall fantasy gone haywire. In addition, the film seems to reject imperialism and the domination of white males, also rather postmodern in ideology. What is most ironic about this apparent postmodernism of resistance that we see at the surface of the film is undermined by high modernist ideology that recalls metanarratives of a patriarchal past. Thus we actually get the high modernist ideology that the film appears to reject. For every progressive step that Total Recall takes forward, then, it takes two steps back, and by the end of the film we see not a progressive victory, but rather a white male fantasy of the return of the patriarchal world in which the white man is on top.
The Passion of the Christ is one of many films about the life of Jesus but this particular one is different to the others. Released in 2004, directed by Mel Gibson and filmed in the ancient Aramaic language, `The Passion' focuses mainly on the death of Christ and shows us the full extent as to what he suffered to save mankind.

In Y: The Last Man, 355’s portrayal differs dramatically from the traditional depictions of female warriors, both visually and in mindset. Through these differences, 355 subverts preconceived notions of female heroes and come to represent, in relation to the text as a whole, the value of discipline and selflessness in the maintenance of society and order.
What is the stereotypical American? When one asks this question there are two general answers. An American would probably respond with characteristics such as hard working, free, and compassionate. A person from somewhere else in the world will probably have a very different answer to this question. Usually Americans can be seen as arrogant, dangerous, and hypocritical. Not a very good reputation to have, but the strangest part about it is most Americans either don’t know why people think of them this way or don’t care. For those that don’t care, ignorance will continue to be bliss, but for those who wish to know why people around the world think of them there are a few avenues they can explore. One of the most powerful is cinema. There are a number of great films that explore this subject in detail, and shed light on a perspective most Americans may not be familiar with. Two such films are Lars Von Trier’s portrait of everyday American life called Dogville, and the other is Francis Ford Coppola’s war epic Apocalypse Now. Although both films are quite different, both emphasize and reinforce the negative stereotypes associated with Americans (“What the World Thinks of America”).
The essence of the films. In Easy Rider the protagonists are their own heroes, who are a group of motorcycle riders who appear to be free-loving, peaceful and do not want trouble, however due to the way they dress, they are seen as stereotypical bikies and are deemed outsiders. In Total Recall the lead actor Arnold Schwarzenegger (Douglas Quaid), is accepted in his general community until he unwittingly disturbs the status quo, by going to Rekall, a company that implants memories in their clients’ heads.
Women have been seen as weak and submissive throughout history in society and that is reflected in many films and movies. These are the feminine qualities that have often been associated with being a woman, which results in the role of women being overlooked and seen as weak or sexualized. They are either in the scene to look pretty or as the one in need of a savior. It is rare for them to fall out of their feminine categories of being motherly or sexual. However, there are more recent films that challenge the singular role women seem to always have. Examples of these are the films, The Matrix (Lana and Lily Wachowski, 1999) and Mad Max: Fury Road (George Miller, 2015). The films bring rise to a more progressive view of women that are reflecting

I search reviews about the new alien movie released called, “Arrival”. I was not surprised to find that both resources described the movie a bit and also had different tones. One resource title is "'Arrival' is out-of-this-world amazing." which gives away the immediate tone of the review. While the other source just simply displays the movie’s title, leaving room for mystery about the review. The main similarity between the two are the immediate facts and opinions about the movie’s actors. "'Arrival' is out-of-this-world amazing.” writes “Amy Adams turns in one of her best performances, Jeremy Renner shows he's just as good a math geek as an Avenger” (Truiit 04B). This praises both actors for their performances in the film. The “Arrival” writes,
In the anime, Attack on Titan, the director is able to create and blend different master plots: vengeance by visual editing that places flashbacks at important moments inside the story and camera angles; hero’s quest by visual cuts and transitions from different character points of view; underdog by changing camera angles. Finally, but not least temptation through the use of sound editing with actions scenery and coloring. Narrative elements used by the director inside a film can change the master plot at any critical moment inside a story, elaborating a different story that can vary depending on our way of interpreting and analyzing the world around us. The director may have a general message that he wants to convey through narrative elements as it was previously stated, but we as the audience have the last word in what the film represents even though we obtain the main idea through the manipulation of the narrative elements used by the director.
