The 1980’s brought about a change to movies after Americas’ loss in the Vietnam War. In the light of this, America felt that their masculinity was in question. In result, Hollywood responded to these feelings by making movies that had strong male characters, known as “hard bodies” (Sklar 346). Furthermore, according to Movie Made America, the characteristics of a hard body are “heroic, aggressive, and determined” (Sklar 346). One such movie that exhibits this is the Terminator, directed by James Cameron and released in 1984. The movie is about Sarah Conner, a teenager, who is being hunted by the Terminator, a robot sent from the future to kill her. In the first and the last scene featuring the Terminator, two hard body characteristics, aggression

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. The main focus of the movie is to reveal Mary Surratt’s involvement in the conspiracy. Entertainment and historical correctness, however, does not always walk hand in hand, therefore, it is important to review whether or not the account represented by the film is accurate, and

Memento is a movie that makes the audience thinks and reflects back to themselves about their identity and their existence. Lenny is the person who experienced anterograde amnesia which is losing the ability to make new memories after the event happened in the past. After a short period of time, he would not remember what he did before. This problem happened when the a man raped and killed his wife and attacked him in the head;therefore, this is the only memory that he had left. Everyday, his mission is to find a guy who murdered his wife even though he had no clue about the man but he collected evidence by hand-written note, polaroid pictures and also tattoos all over his body. I believe that this movie wants to give the idea of personal identity according to memories and in my opinion, memories are important to identify a person since it develops a character from the past to the present. Even though according to Lenny he believes that memories are unreliable source and collecting facts by records are more important because in his case he has no other choice to keep track of his memories like other people. Therefore, this case actually links to the theory of Descartes who believes that self exists according to dualism, rationalism and science, Locke’s theory is self can known through sense experiences, Hume’s thought is self doesn’t exist since we are bundle of sensation, Kant thinks that anything that we experience is having it own self and it is the idea that he called “transcendental unity” and finally the idea of Hegel is the dialectic of the self which define as humans have both absolute and spirit in themselves.
Are we human if we don’t have a choice to choose between acting good or acting evil? A Clockwork Orange directed by Stanley Kubrick is a brutal film that entails many sociological meanings. Alex DeLarge and his “droogs” (gang) live in a derange society of “ultra-violence” and rape. Alex and his gang cause havoc around the town that leads to the “droogs” turning on Alex during a mischievous act on an innocent women and Alex getting arrested. While in prison he is chosen for “treatment” that is suppose to purify Alex and turn him into the “perfect citizen”. We’ve gone over many sociological concepts in class, but the three that I believe apply the most to this film are socialization, deviance, and resocialization.
Director Christopher Nolan′s film Memento (2000), is loosely based from the concept of a short story named Memento Mori written by his brother Jonathan. This story is about a man named Leonard Shelby who is suffering from anterograde amnesia, which is a loss of ability to create new memories after the event that caused the amnesia, leading to a partial or complete inability to recall the recent past, while long term memories from before the event remain intact. Leonard was hit over the head during an attack which resulted in his wife being raped and murdered. With the help of contact named Teddy and a bartender named Natalie, Leonard set out for revenge. Since the attack Leonard has set out to exact revenge on the man who has caused him suffering. He helps himself by writing notes, taking photographs, and tattooing himself with important notes and facts. An analysis of the film Memento reveals the use of film techniques such as editing, non-linear storytelling, symbolism, director's style, musical score, color, and cinematography that creates an intellectual stimulant that has the viewer deciphering a puzzle in a reversed chronological order.
The story of the movie revolves around two brother wrestler’s lives Dave Schultz (Mark Ruffalo) and Mark Schultz (Channing Tatum) and how a multimillionaire sponsor John E. du Pont (Steve Carell) changed their lives. These actors have done amazing comedies like Get Smart, 22 Jump Street, despicable me and many more that’s why looking at the cast of the movie one would think of it as a comedy, but after watching the movie they would say otherwise. The amount of emotion that is developed throughout the movie is just too overwhelming, even though the story is public knowledge the director (Bennett Miller) has succeeded in keeping the viewers at the edge of their seats. The intensity with which Steve Carell has played the role of John E. du Pont
In one of his former theories, the TT assumes that the Morlocks, the inferior race (at this point in time) which lives in the underworld, are the direct outcome of England’s East-end worker, who already live “in such artificial conditions as practically to be cut off from the natural surface of the earth.” (page 77, line 17)
This movie is a wonderful production starting from 1960 and ending in 1969 covering all the different things that occurred during this unbelievable decade. The movie takes place in many different areas starring two main families; a very suburban, white family who were excepting of blacks, and a very positive black family trying to push black rights in Mississippi. The movie portrayed many historical events while also including the families and how the two were intertwined. These families were very different, yet so much alike, they both portrayed what to me the whole ‘message’ of the movie was. Although everyone was so different they all faced such drastic decisions and issues that affected everyone in so many different ways. It wasn’t like one person’s pain was easier to handle than another is that’s like saying Vietnam was harder on those men than on the men that stood for black rights or vice versa, everyone faced these equally hard issues. So it seemed everyone was very emotionally involved. In fact our whole country was very involved in president elections and campaigns against the war, it seemed everyone really cared.
Sex, love, depression, guilt, trust, all are topics presented in this remarkably well written and performed drama.

Emporia State Universities Production of this masterpiece was a masterpiece in itself, from the stunningly genuine portrayal of the characters of Avery and Rose, to the realism found within the set, every aspect of the production was superb.
Except in the thanksgiving scene which was almost the last, the characters had come together in some relationships and drifted apart in others. But taken as a whole this film manages to bring out one of the most important feelings in life, love, whilst exploring feelings of jealousy, confusion, rivalry, hope, sadness and loneliness on the way. Although there was limited hope for the characters to come together in the end, they did, it was in the vulnerability and tenderness of it all that love emerged.
