  • The Use of Classical Hollywood Theory in Die Hard

    574 Words  | 2 Pages

    Beginning the mid 1920s, Hollywood’s ostensibly all-powerful film studios controlled the American film industry, creating a period of film history now recognized as “Classical Hollywood”. Distinguished by a practical, workmanlike, “invisible” method of filmmaking- whose purpose was to demand as little attention to the camera as possible, Classical Hollywood cinema supported undeviating storylines (with the occasional flashback being an exception), an observance of a the three act structure, frontality, and visibly identified goals for the “hero” to work toward and well-defined conflict/story resolution, most commonly illustrated with the employment of the “happy ending”. Studios understood precisely what an audience desired, and accommodated their wants and needs, resulting in films that were generally all the same, starring similar (sometimes the same) actors, crafted in a similar manner. It became the principal style throughout the western world against which all other styles were judged. While there have been some deviations and experiments with the format in the past 50 plus ye...

  • Rhetorical Analysis Of Back To The Future

    563 Words  | 2 Pages

    The author Russ Rymer wrote a very interesting essay called Back to the Future: Disney Reinvents the Company Town. In this essay, Russ Rymer wrote about how Disney was attempting to create a town called Celebration, which would give a “sense of” community and place (Rymer 297). Rymer’s purpose is to inform the reader of how Disney was wasting time and money trying to create a community that was supposed to be a blast from the past even though the designers used neo-traditionalism and neo-urbanism designs. Throughout his writing he conveys a sort of arrogant tone to get his point across to the readers that no matter how hard Disney tries they cannot bring back the past. It was like taking todays now generation and expecting

  • The Quality Query of Time Travel

    1896 Words  | 4 Pages

    Since the beginning of time itself, man has been dreaming of time travel. The current model of physics shows no obvious doubts towards the possibility of time travel, which leaves many questions (“Quantum Time Travel”). If the quarrel for time travel holds any truth, how will man manifest the means of going about it? Before the theories set forth by the men and women in the scientific community can be understood, one must have at least a general knowledge of the basics behind quantum mechanics, as well as the estimable; Einstein’s, theory of space-time. Also, in a world where time travel occurs, there is the possibility of a paradox, or impossible situation caused by the travelers’ actions. Many answers to the paradoxes have been set forth by notable people. Possibly the most widely accepted theory of time travel, Einstein’s black hole theory, still holds prevalence to this day. Some other theories have come to light recently, and most are yet to be disproved.

  • Analysis of the Film Good Will Hunting

    2142 Words  | 5 Pages

    Good Will Hunting is the graceful tale of a young gentleman’s struggle to find out where he belongs in the world, by first finding out who he himself is. In this film, Matt Damon takes on the role of a disturbed genius that has a keen understanding of the deepness of human character. The film is a voyage through the mind of Will Hunting as he is required to undergo psychotherapy as an alternative to serving jail time. With the assistance of a psychologist, played by Robin Williams, Will learns about himself and recognizes his individual worth in the world by comprehending what is most important to him in his own life. This motion picture serves as a source of superb example for film technique. Gus Van Sant’s directing ability joined with the writing skills of Matt Damon and Ben Affleck, who also plays Will’s best buddy, Chuckie, is a vibrant mixture of technical features used to induce sentiment and compassion amongst the viewers of this heart-warming film. Characteristics of the color, angles, shots, camera movement, editing, and distortions are all each particularly noteworthy to the general composition of Van Sant’s Good Will Hunting.

    “That’s the most improbable thing I’ve ever heard. A time machine? Not likely- no, impossible!” And yet, he eyed my device as it glowed, pulsing ever brighter, with a sense of apprehension. I could see the gears turning in his head. He was probably thinking something along the lines of “If there’s any chance at all this man could have done it, I need to be afraid.” Of course, he didn’t need to be afraid.

    We see the universe because we are who we are, and where we are. That is the only reason we can question the facts of our existence. Sometimes we answer questions that were never supposed to be addressed. Space-time has always been in question. Time travel would give mad unlimited powers. One could act as god, change the world the way He wanted. If the outcome did not meet satisfaction, then travel back in time and re-work the problem until satisfaction. With our primitive ways and violent acts, why would we give ourselves this weapon of infinite power? Maybe that is why we have not been told of how to build a time machine. However, the people in the future didn’t think. If they have created a time machine and are hiding it from us, then eventually we will stumble upon this discovery, since we are their past!
