Horror films are full excitement, drama, and suspenseful things that most people love to see. World War Z is the story of a man name Gerry Lane, a retired U.N. investigator, who races to safety for him and his family. What is he running from? A lethal virus that are turning people into virus spreading corpuses. Other movies that fit the horror genre are movies such as Halloween, The Exorcist and The Conjuring. This movie could arguably be considered a great example of a horror movie, because it has great aspects that a horror movie should have. I also think that this movie is a great example of a horror movie. Although World War Z is missing one of the main characteristics of a horror movie which is blood and guts, it is still a great example of a typical horror movie because it is fast paced and full of

    In Style Wars, one sees how social marginalization affected graffiti writers in 1970s and 1980s New York. Firstly, Style Wars chronicles how the city government employed racist policing and propaganda to criminalize writers of color. Secondly, the documentary shows that newspapers and TV networks unequally privileged writers of higher socioeconomic status through front-page and prime-time coverage. Thirdly, the film depicts graffiti writers who conformed to masculine norms as disproportionately visible throughout the city. Although many writers featured in Style Wars minimized barriers against making art, legal racism, classist media coverage, and interpersonal masculinity limited recognition for certain writers.

    The historical drama of “The Conspirator” (Redford) is using scenes to reveal the background of the Lincoln assassination in 1865, on Good Friday. The authors of the movie are attempting to reveal the plot behind the scenes, and the role of individuals in killing Lincoln, as well as their true intentions in doing so. The movie was an answer to some of the misconceptions about Lincoln’s final years, as well as the political forces that led to the events.

  • Movie Analysis: American History X

    1365 Words  | 3 Pages

    The movie I decided to analyze for this course was American History X (1998), which stars Edward Norton. Though this movie isn’t widely known, it is one of the more interesting movies I have seen. It’s probably one of the best films that depict the Neo Nazi plague on American culture. The film takes place from the mid to late 1990’s during the Internet boom, and touches on subjects from affirmative action to Rodney King. One of the highlights of this movie that really relates to one of the key aspects of this course is the deterrence of capital punishment. Edward Norton’s portrayal as the grief stricken older brother who turns to racist ideologies and violence to cope with his fathers death, completely disregards the consequences of his actions as he brutally murders someone in front of his family for trying to steal his car. The unstable mentality that he developed after his father’s death really goes hand-to-hand specifically with Isaac Ehrlich’s study of capital punishment and deterrence. Although this movie is entirely fictional, a lot of the central themes (racism, crime punishment, gang pervasiveness, and one’s own vulnerability) are accurate representations of the very problems that essentially afflict us as a society.

  • The Sniper Film Analysis

    Violent video games and movies can dehumanize people through accostoming them to seeing death, stripping humanity from their opponents, and allowing them to hide behind a screen from their actions. In The Sniper the main character is described as having “the eyes of a man who is used to looking at death” (O’Flaherty). Because the sniper was so accustomed to death, and even being the cause of it, he has little to no reaction to killing people day by day. He does not think of them as individual humans with lives and souls, but just another dehumanized being. Therefore, he does not come to the repercussions of his actions until he discovers that one of his victims was actually his brother.

  • Analysis Of The Film War Horse

    1373 Words  | 3 Pages

    The movie I chose to analyze for historical accuracy was War Horse. This movie was set in the First World War, starting in Britain but the story also explored France and Germany during this time period as well. Three scenes will be analyzed: the trench warfare scene between the British and the Germans, the scene where the British soldiers were gassed, and the scene where the British were getting patched up and nursed. War Horse does well to stick to the historical accuracy of what happened during the First World War due to the fact that the three scenes that I have chosen to analyze are not embellished and are close to what really happened.
