When most people think about a movie with super heroes and villain they think of a movie about the hero defeating the villain. Dr. Horrible Sing along Blog is not one of those movies. In this movie we see that the main focus is on the villain Billy aka Dr. Horrible. This movie is about him trying to get into the evil league of evil, or ELE, which is a collection of the most evil villains in this universe, but also he is trying to get the love of his life, Penny, to fall in love with him. The first time she talks to him he is in the middle of stealing a component to power his freeze ray. He is to busy with the heist too pay much attention to her. Right when he is about to get the component we met the “hero” Captain Hammer. He tries to stop Dr. horrible but instead he “saves” penny and she falls in love with him. With his newly powered freeze ray he tries to take down Captain Hammer but ends up failing because he mentioned his heist on his Blog. Then his is told by Bad Horse, the leader of the ELE, that know he must kill someone to make it in. he doesn’t really want to kill anyone until he finds out Captain hammer is only going out with penny because he wants her. He sets up a plan to kill Captain Hammer when he is speaking at a homeless shelter. The attempt fails when his freeze ray runs out of power and Captain Hammer punches him on to the ground. Captain hammer ends up grabbing the death ray that Dr. horrible was going to use to kill him and points it at him. It backfires and shoots shrapnel everywhere killing Penny and making Captain Hammer feel pain for the first time. Captain hammer gives up being a superhero because he doesn’t like pain and Dr. Horrible gets into the ELE. In the final scene of the movie you see Billy lookin...

In conclusion this movie shows that John Doris situationalist view is correct and that the dispositionalist view is incorrect. These people are not defined by Broad traits but by the little things in their life that gravitate them to one side. This movie clearly shows this. This movie is an awesome account of a not so evil villain perspective. We see how most people are not just one trait but a combination of many. Also that sometimes a little thing can give you that push to do something you would not normally do. We know that Dr. Horrible is just a misunderstand individual that just wants his and everyone else’s life better and that Captain Hammer is a self centered person that just wants the best for himself. As I always say don’t judge a book by it cover.
...eam, as Romero showcases the fact that the flaws shown within the characters end up turning their situation into something far worse than it had been in the beginning. It shows just how depraved, violent and absolutely terrifying humans can easily become when put into situations without consequences. Romero’s film is dredged in cynicism towards the modern American Dream, the way he deals with symbolism towards how “just” the American system is during battles and war, and how incredibly messed up our generalized view on racism and the ever ongoing struggle for certain ethnic groups to survive is. “The negativity of the characters extends, in fact, into every facet of their lives; indeed, the film implies the deepest denial of the goodness of effectiveness of every facet of human life in general. Every kind of human relationship is ridiculed or negated in the film.” 4
Most of the characters that were focused on in this film were, both, offenders and victims of racism and stereotypes. Each underwent a change from the beginning to the end of the film in some way or another. For example, Anthony spent most of his on-screen time talking about the stereotypes placed on black people, yet he committed acts that fell into the stereotypes he spoke of. He had a tough guy act on from the beginning, yet after Cameron didn’t turn him into the cops as well when they got chased by the officers, he changed his act up a bit and, by the end, saved a van full of Asian immigrants that were going to be sold off to slavery. Jean was yet another character who faced a change. She was portrayed as the pampered and irritated housewife. She was racist
This movie has immaculately shown the negative influences people and drugs have on society. From the film, I will take views that will affect the way I see things and make myself more aware of the dangers within substandard
In the film, there are two opposite ideologies working against each other and influence how a character can view situations.

He goes from saying things are “dreary, literal-minded” and “shameless” to saying it is “standout.” These words change the tone from the movie is awful to it was a well put together movie. When Mitchell is not at ends with himself, the article is rather monotone. He provides little evidence to prove why he feels so strongly about the movie. While trying to stay unbiased he does not let one tone shine through, leaving the audience confused about how he feels towards the movie. When most people review movies they pick a side, to have people watch it or not. Mitchell has not made a definite decision for himself, causing the readers to be confused about the overall tone from start to
Aspects of good and evil are portrayed in a number of different ways throughout the film, ?Schindler?s List?. The story of Schindler's List reminds us that there is hope; that sometimes the actions of one person - one ordinary person even, for Oskar Schindler is not the stereotypical altruistic hero - can make a difference, even in the face of mass apathy and e...
Additionally, the film shows the true power of manipulation, and how easily someone of power can deceive and mistreat others without them even knowing. Personally, I found the film to be very interesting, and I felt as though it accurately represented the events and those who were personally affected. However, the film stated that Jones developed a dependency on substances closer to the date of the mass suicide. This part of the film was not very thorough, and the filmmakers seemed to disregard much of it. Although, all in all, the film was interesting as well as
In Suicide Squad, the author uses the archetypes Good vs. Evil,tyrant, hero, mentor, and the traitor to reveal that we as humans fall to evil when we are independent, but we can accomplish more if we work as a team for good instead of evil. We can relate to this theme in the movie when the villains were evil by themselves, but they collaborated to use their power for good. This Theme relates to the whole story.
I feel that the movie has no weaknesses. This is because even though I had a few things I didn’t like such as the anonymity given, I realised that there was a reason for this which I explained in my strengths of the movie below.
At the end of this movie, the viewer is left to contemplate what this all means. Do the perpetrators feel any real remorse? Do they understand what they did and why it is wrong? The idea that they feel no contrition is chilling and frightening. One of the things that we hold onto is the sense of good in humanity. That we can 'fight' the evil in the world. The idea that they embrace evil and have no compunction is counter to the human condition and optimism.
syndrome from the incredibles is a great example of a malicious villain because he killed every super hero and created a robot just so he could be the only hero. it shows how evil people can be. it shows what a person will do just to be in the stop light. i believe people are both with both evil and good and they have the power to choice weather they act civil or evil. god gave them the choice and opportunity to be good they just have to want it, and it shows how easily people can be persuaded to be cruel human being just because they want everyone looking at them. mans greatest drug is fame. the high will go away and the detox is a lot harder to come off of. man will want to become moral and civil again and he can because thats his choice
This movie changed the way I viewed movies because it was a fantastic movie, that showed racial tension. So whenever I watch movies, I look for things like racism, classism, and sexism, this movie has helped me find these things in movies. I can use film theory and criticism to find and interpret meaning in movies because with criticism the movie is not being evaluated based off the critic's opinion of the movie, instead it is being evaluated based on the content, and when someone evaluates the content they have to provide explanation of why exactly the movie is great or not. One of the main ways of determining if a movie good or not is the overall message of the movie, or the meaning of the movie. Film Theory can be used to can interpret meaning in movies because it provides framework for understanding film and how it relates to the other arts and life, so I can analyze the framework and connect it back to all arts and life, to find a meaning. This course has changed my understanding of how movies are related to society because I have learned that almost everything is based of the film theory, which is connecting film back to the arts and real life, both of these have a major influence on film. I have learned some very important skills such as
With a strong use of false facts and “professionals” “The Secret”, argues that good thinking brings good things to that person. The movie calls this thinking the law of attraction. This is supported with multiple fallacies, and pure gibberish. With multiple ways to go against their argument of the law of attraction
...n (Director) mistakenly seems to believe can carry the whole film. On the strength "based on a true story", he has rejected attention-grabbing characters, an imaginative plot, and unforgettable villains.
