  • Cleo 5 to 7 as a New Wave Film

    649 Words  | 2 Pages

    Agnes Varda is not only one of the few female directors of new wave cinema; she is also credited as having helped create the genre. Her short film La Point–Courte is considered by some as the first new wave film. Her first full length movie, Cleo 5 to 7 falls within this genre as well. It is the story of a young woman dying of cancer and how she sees the world in the context of time. We follow the singer Cleo as she changes into the woman Flora and as she does so she begins to look at time in a different manner. It is the way time is represented through the camera shots which really make this film part of its new wave genre.

  • Peter Pan: Growing Up and the Loss of Innocence

    551 Words  | 2 Pages

    In J. M. Barrie’s Peter Pan, the loss of innocence is a theme that is discussed from the first chapter. “Two is the beginning of the end” (Barrie 2) creates this underlying theme of loss of innocence right from the start. Peter is a kid who ran away from his family so he would not have to grow up and he takes the notion of staying a kid seriously. The loss of innocence comes to light when Wendy, John, Michael, and the Lost Boys leave Neverland and grow up. “We too have been [to Neverland]; we can still hear the sound of the surf, though we shall land no more” (Barrie 12). The loss of innocence and growing up prohibits people from going back to Neverland; a place that they once ran away to in an attempt to not have to grow up.

  • Classical and Post-Classical Hollywood Cinema

    2472 Words  | 5 Pages

    During the course of this essay it is my intention to discuss the differences between Classical Hollywood and post-Classical Hollywood. Although these terms refer to theoretical movements of which they are not definitive it is my goal to show that they are applicable in a broad way to a cinema tradition that dominated Hollywood production between 1916 and 1960 and which also pervaded Western Mainstream Cinema (Classical Hollywood or Classic Narrative Cinema) and to the movement and changes that came about following this time period (Post-Classical or New Hollywood). I intend to do this by first analysing and defining aspects of Classical Hollywood and having done that, examining post classical at which time the relationship between them will become evident. It is my intention to reference films from both movements and also published texts relative to the subject matter. In order to illustrate the structures involved I will be writing about the subjects of genre and genre transformation, the representation of gender, postmodernism and the relationship between style, form and content.

  • Neorealism In Italian Cinema

    1098 Words  | 3 Pages

    The genre showed signs of social progress and cultural change across Italy and was used to comment on the experiences of ordinary people. Through neorealism, filmmakers aimed to move away from cinema’s escapist pleasures and believed they had a duty to inform and enlighten cinemagoers. The documentary-like objectivity that this created became the trademark of the genre. In the 1950s, however, Italian neorealism rapidly declined with the public increasingly craving optimistic Americanised cinema. This echoed the nation’s desire to move away from their poverty and despair, towards prosperity and

  • Nobody Waved Goodbye Analysis

    1315 Words  | 3 Pages

    Nobody Waved Goodbye (Owen, 1964) and Le chat dans le sac (Groulx, 1964) are both canonized as “the beginning of a beginning” by Peter Harcourt. These two films were originally documentaries commissioned by the National Film Board (NFB) but made to be into feature films. In fact, they are considered to be the first real narrative films in Canada (Lecture 1). The reason they are “the beginning of the beginning” is because they reflect the different relationship of the French and English films to the documentary traditions of the NFB (Lecture 1) – essentially, the French versus the English tendencies of documentary film, and they are “distinguished representations of their respective cultures” (Harcourt 76). Nobody Waved Goodbye features the

  • The Influence Of New Hollywood Cinema

    1150 Words  | 3 Pages

    The ‘New Hollywood Cinema’ era came about from around the 1960’s when cinema and film making began to change. Big film studios were going out of their comfort zone to produce different, creative and artistic movies. At the time, it was all the public wanted to see. People were astonished at the way these films were put together, the narration, the editing, the shots, and everything in between. No more were the films in similar arrangement and structure. The ‘New Hollywood era’ took the classic Hollywood period and turned it around so that rules were broken and people left stunned.

  • Jean-Luc Godard´s Breathless

    1367 Words  | 3 Pages

    Breathless is in many ways the antithesis of the classical Hollywood cinema; the changes have a direct effect on the relationship the film has with the viewer. Classical Hollywood cinema includes standards such as continuity editing, highly motivated, character-driven stories and a coherent narrative structure. Breathless defies these elements of traditional filmmaking, instead defining what we know as French New Wave.

  • Sound and Editing Analysis

    1023 Words  | 3 Pages

    Since the creation of films, their main goal was to appeal to mass audiences. However, once, the viewer looks past the appearance of films, the viewer realizes that the all-important purpose of films is to serve as a bridge connecting countries, cultures, and languages. This is because if you compare any two films that are from a foreign country or spoken in another language, there is the possibility of a connection between the two because of the fact that they have a universally understanding or interpretation. This is true for the French New Wave films; Contempt and Breathless directed by Jean-Luc Godard, and contemporary Indian films; Earth and Water directed by Deepa Mehta. All four films portray an individual’s role in society using sound and editing.

  • The Next Chapter of Peter Pan, My Darling Pan

    1227 Words  | 3 Pages

    We flew throughout the night and only rested on a cloud to gaze at the beautiful sunrise. It was only until we shot through the atmosphere and were then in space that I realised how far Peter’s home was from mine. Peter shot me a mischievous smile and when he turned around to look where he was going again we started travelling at the speed of light. We looked like shooting stars as fairydust fell off of us as we raced through the stars. Once we started to slow down I noticed a small orange planet glowing in the distance. Surrounding it was a ring of gold dust of what I can only suspect to be fairydust. This must be Neverland. I have never seen such a beautiful thing in all my life.
