James Bond, Die Another Day and Johnny English
James Bond’s, Die Another Day is a spy film filled with action. James
Bond is the main character in the film who has a mission to discover
the connection between a North Korean terrorist and an adventurous
diamond broker. His character seems very clever and crafty. He is
always the hero that successfully completes each mission. He has the
gadgets, the fast car, women and of course a famous catchphrase which
is what makes up James Bond’s role. James Bond first originated in
novels written by Ian Fleming. He wrote many novels and in 1962 the
first James Bond film was created, based on the books. Die Another Day
was released as film in 2002. Johnny English has a comedy, spy genre.
Johnny English is the main character in this film, who is hired to
protect the crown jewels. When they are stolen he uncovers a plot to
replace the Queen with a French King. Johnny English’s character
thinks he is cool like James Bond, he also claims to be a babe magnet
but in fact he has very little experience. Johnny English was released
as a film in 2003.
In the car chase scene in James Bond, where villain, Zao and hero,
James Bond battle it out, they use various camera shots. These include
many Long shots to show both cars in action and Focus shots to focus
on the expressions on James Bonds and Zao’s faces. The timing of the
camera shots in this scene fit in with what is happening. For example
when James Bond’s car is flipped over the camera focuses on him
struggling to turn it back over but constantly shows Zao, who thinks
that he is about to win the fight, getting closer to defeating James
Bond. The s...

amazing effect towards the audience. I really enjoyed each of the
films and I feel that the reaction from the audience would be the same
as mine. Johnny English would have made them laugh and seems like more
of a family film but also has a lot of action used within the film.
The way that this film can make people laugh is because of Johnny
English’s character which is played by Rowan Atkinson. He tries to
complete his missions without messing up and he achieves this, but
with a little bit of trouble also. James Bond was an action packed
film that had the whole audience gripping on to their seats, waiting
for what’s going to happen next. It isn’t meant to be a comedy film
but has some scene that could make the audience laugh. It isn’t so
much as a family film but will get a huge response from the viewers.

...n the air and the anticipation for the new Bond movie Bond 23 is already making rounds. All the Bond fans like James Bond for a reason, we like him because he is someone who has all the qualities that must be liked. He is a charming rake whom not just women like but men want to be like him too. It does not matter how many Bonds there has been on the silver screen, each one of them does it differently than the other and is sometimes better in his own way.

Steven Spielberg's Jaws and Ridley Scott's Gladiator The two films being examined are the thriller Jaws, directed by Steven Spielberg, and the action film Gladiator directed by Ridley Scott. Both directors create epic films; the films are momentous and are designed to manipulate the emotions. A thriller is intended to appeal to basic human instinct to the need of feeling fear and survival. Action movies are designed to appeal to our sense of danger: pace and experience is something we want but don't have in our everyday lives to this extent. Both films are examples of media, which manage to induce you into a certain way of thinking: Jaws into being scared and Gladiator into sympathising and rooting for Russell Crowe in his fight against evil.
opinionated, and perverted. If there is one word to sum him up it would be, unapologetic.
The notorious and capable Al Capone once commented, “This American system of ours, call it Americanism, call it capitalism, call it what you will, gives each and every one of us a great opportunity if we only seize it with both hands and make the most of it.” “This American system,” as referred to by Capone, is not simply one idea alone but a conglomerate of all ideals held to represent the American culture: capitalism, freedom, and opportunity. These ideals go hand in hand with each other; freedom allows for capitalism to flourish and, in turn, allows equal opportunity for every citizen. However, the key to success in the American system is not simply available by going through the motions of life, but rather requires determination, will, and an urge to succeed and capitalize on every opportunity provided to us. In F. Scott Fitzgerald’s novel The Great Gatsby, Gatsby, the poverty-stricken army officer turned eccentric millionaire, proves that the American system is one that does not discriminate between the rich and the poor, or by creed, or even by race, but allows for equal opportunity for all, supporting those with ambition and drive, while punishing those who lack purpose and initiative, one where everyone has a chance for greatness if they have the drive and initiative to seize that opportunity and “make the most of it” and that the resulting success derived from that motivation erases the significance of one’s background.

People make bad choices in life every day, some may be recovered from whereas others have fatal consequences. A reporter named Jon Krakauer wrote a biography called Into The Wild which is about a young man named Chris McCandless who makes a fatal decision which lead to his demise in Alaska. Aron Ralton's book called Between a Rock and a Hard Place is about his near death experience from making a bad choice. His perseverance and problem solving skills become his salvation in the hot and dry terrain of Utah. Chris and Aron were both eager for adventure and both had a love for nature and the outdoors. Chris died because he lacked Aron's prior knowledge of survival tactics, making Chris ill prepared for his journey.
