Don’t let the title fool you. Sliding doors has nothing in common with the obstreperous aluminum patio portals in soulless suburban houses. The film is insipid and sounds a little platitudinous and I’m saying that it’s platitudinous in the concept of cheating, not in the rewind formation. I mean Honestly if both guys were appearing to cheat would you envisage a relationship with someone you were in love with only to find out that they never even loved you at all? That they were only infatuated with you to begin with. No, I would never call this a love story. I never even thought about it until after I had watched the film. Perhaps because it was never portrayed to me in that way even though the entire plot was about love. Let’s begin, though, …show more content…
The two separate plots continue simultaneously constantly switching back and forth between the dual tracks as the story lines diverge more and more radically. Is it a workable concept? Perhaps. The two tracks separate with one Helen getting on the train and the other failing to catch the ongoing box like vehicle. With the Helen that never makes it to the train on time, she rewinds backward onto the top of the stairs with the appearance of digital effect and bridge-music. The same bridge-music that happens every time there is a match-cut on the screen. Eventually, the Helen that never caught the train finds out that her boyfriend was cheating on her with a lady that knew about the whole ordeal and breaks up with him.Now the Helen that makes this said train doesn’t find out about her cheating boyfriend named Jerry until much later in the plot. We’ll call her Helen #2. Now Helen #1 after breaking up with the douchebag, cuts her hair short, moves in with her fidus achate named Ana and meets a guy named James who appears to be cheating on her with his wife but we never know if that is fact because it is later stated that the wife and him broke up six months ago and the papers are going through. Now I'll give James some leeway because I generally like him as a character, and I will say that he wasn’t cheating on Helen only because he is a nice guy but that said even that doesn’t douse my suspicions. Eventually, both Helens get pregnant and I won’t tell you anymore because you have to go watch the
To be a True Blue Aussie you have to have a mate because “You've to have a mate,” as verbalized by poet Dave Butler in 2013. For in Aussie culture, a mate is a person whose actions speak louder than their words. In Australia, being a mate is a value that is held in the highest respect.

The Hurt Locker is a war film that is set in Iraq during the Iraq War and fits in the adventure and action genre. The plot is about a three man bomb defusal team consisting of James, Sanborn, and Elridge finding themselves is extreme, life-threatening situations where they must defuse explosives over the violent conflicts. The director, Kathryn Bigelow, has done a good job with the mise-en-scene, making the setting overall extremely believable, giving a sense of realism in the film. The film’s mise-en-scene creates a believable Iraq War settings with the use costumes, weaponry, and all the grime and dirt present in places which sells the idea. Sounds and symbolism is used to show heavy tension amongst the soldiers .The film also contrasts James’s time in Iraq and his life back in America using the Supermarket scene. The idea portrayed in this film is the addiction to war which can be seen in James.
In the documentary “Fed Up,” sugar is responsible for Americas rising obesity rate, which is happening even with the great stress that is set on exercise and portion control for those who are overweight. Fed Up is a film directed by Stephanie Soechtig, with Executive Producers Katie Couric and Laurie David. The filmmaker’s intent is mainly to inform people of the dangers of too much sugar, but it also talks about the fat’s in our diets and the food corporation shadiness. The filmmaker wants to educate the country on the effects of a poor diet and to open eyes to the obesity catastrophe in the United States. The main debate used is that sugar is the direct matter of obesity. Overall, I don’t believe the filmmaker’s debate was successful.
Helen takes a turn for the better by the end of this story. She ends up finding the man that she deserves, she
Despite what many people think, Romeo and Juliet is not a love story; rather a story of desperation and obsession. People have been reading Shakespeare for hundreds of years and several people have mistaken it for a love story, due to the fact that Romeo loves Juliet so much he is willing to kill himself when he finds her supposedly dead; she does the same when she wakes up to find him dead. But in fact, Romeo is more taken aback by her beauty than he is in love with her. Juliet is intrigued by the fact someone could love her because her parents are very unsupportive of her. When the two find each other, they immediately become obsessed, mistaking this for love at first sight.

“There once was a time in this business when I had the eyes of the whole world! But that wasn't good enough for them, oh no! They had to have the ears of the whole world too. So they opened their big mouths and out came talk. Talk! TALK!” (Sunset Boulevard). The film Sunset Boulevard directed by Billy Wilder focuses on a struggling screen writer who is hired to rewrite a silent film star’s script leading to a dysfunctional and fatal relationship. Sunset Boulevard is heavily influenced by the history of cinema starting from the 1930s to 1950 when the film was released.
As a fan of cinema, I was excited to do this project on what I had remembered as a touching portrait on racism in our modern society. Writer/Director Paul Haggis deliberately depicts his characters in Crash within the context of many typical ethnic stereotypes that exist in our world today -- a "gangbanger" Latino with a shaved head and tattoos, an upper-class white woman who is discomforted by the sight of two young Black kids, and so on -- and causes them to rethink their own prejudices during their "crash moment" when they realize the racism that exists within themselves.
Sex, love, depression, guilt, trust, all are topics presented in this remarkably well written and performed drama. The Flick, a 2014 Pulitzer Prize winning drama by Annie Baker, serves to provide a social commentary which will leave the audience deep in thought well after the curtain closes. 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.
After watched the Shutter Island, I believe this film is combat against stigma of mental ill.
She called Eddie wanting to know what to do and he advises her to take one of the pills implying that it will be clear once she is on the drug (Limitless). This shows that in the movie, taking that little clear pill instantly fixes a situation. This is a view that is shared in the American society today. If you’re looking for proof, just think about how when a child is diagnosed with a hyperactivity disorder (ADD, ADHD) the doctor often immediately prescribes adderall.
Stanley Kubrick’s “The Shining” presents the audience a twisted tale of a man named Jack Torrance and his wife Wendy and son Danny, who spend a few winter months in isolation as caretakers of the Overlook hotel. This is no typical horror movie. Viewers are slowly lead though a slow film journey following the Torrance family in their moments of horror and insanity with help from bizarre events connected to the haunted Overlook Hotel.

Like all other genres, horror does have rules and traditions that must be included in order for a film to be considered a horror film. These rules and traditions include a protagonist, an antagonist, an escape or escape attempt of some sort, and very influential audio and visual effects.
Love is a word that’s been both miss-used and over-used all at once. Romantic movies change our definition of and have a big impact on this definition greatly.
