analytical Essay
1573 words
The world will deceive you. Time will trick you. People will fool you. We seem to live in a place where we think peace, love and humanity prevail, but no. Time has brought everything to what the world is now, to what we are now. Unlike any other movie, Gasper Noe’s Irreversible (2002), with his own unusual but unique way of telling a story, shows how violence roots from love, how pain roots from pleasure, how imagination roots from reality and how death roots from life. This movie focuses Marcus and Pierre’s battle with the illusion of justice to avenge Marcus’ girlfriend, Alex, from her atrocious fate. And beginning this with the ending, Gasper Noe has created not just a realistic and powerful movie but has explained, as well, what it means …show more content…
People can just go around performing crimes, torturing and destroying other people and just be fine at the end of the day, no policemen chasing after them, no cell waiting for them. People often blame the policemen for this but is it really the police’s fault only? When Alex is being raped by La Tenia, a man shows up at the background, stands and watches the scene for a moment. He then walks away from the place, doing nothing to save Alex. Man continues to seek for the justice they are asking for when they, themselves aren’t doing something to prevent crime and do justice to others. “Blood calls for revenge. Vengeance is a human right.”states one man in the movie. This is the idea of justice that is instilled in our minds with this kind of world we are living in. But even if Marcus has put all the effort in finding La Tenia and avenging Alex, he still ends up unconscious on a stretcher, arms …show more content…
From the way it started with a pure act of violence—with Pierre killing a man brutally using a fire extinguisher, to Alex being sexually tortured and beaten, to Marcus and Alex being happy with the idea of having a child to Alex reading in a peaceful place with the other women and children and from the way the movie started and ended showing how time destroys all things, the movie has shown what it means to be irreversible. If it were going to be told using the normal linear storyline, then the movie would just seem to focus on the sexual parts and violence. Alex could have been mistaken for prostitute. Their intimate and playful bed scene at the latter part of the movie could have been mistaken for a sex just for pleasure, not sharing some love at all. The act at the beginning of the movie will seem like just a normal fight scene in a chaotic world. The nonlinear way of telling the story has strengthen its points and the way it is shown using fast random movements has created a harrowing impact on how the movie wanted to tell the story to the

- Violence In Hannah Arendt's On Violence By Hannah Arendtanalytical essayIn her book, On Violence, Hannah Arendt studies violence as it relates to war, science, power, aggression, and the like. In this paper, I will speak on the topic of violence as it pertains to aggression. I argue that we, as human beings, possess at least a basic level of aggression that is explainable through animalistic research and characteristics. This argument is one that contradicts the overarching ideas of Arendt’s thoughts on the topic. Through an explicative and then disputatious discourse, I hope to bring validity to my viewpoint.

In the frequent—almost excessive—moments of bright, lively red, we see the hope, desire, or even existence of intimacy. However, the few juxtaposed moments lacking red create a serious, threatening distinction between life with and without this sense of closeness and affinity.

Even other not so famous genres like romantic comedies or westerns have numerous films that break the barriers of their respective fandoms and targeted audiences, and have been accepted as good art or cult classics, in fact. There have been certain horror films that do find support among film critics and interpreters of pop culture, however, as a whole horror films are seen as cheesy, goofy entertainment. They thrill audiences with violence and cheap laughs, and it is easy to write them off as jokes. However, there is a benefit to being overlooked, which is that as culture itself gravitates toward different concerns, the expression of those concerns changes within film and other forms of popular culture. In the 1950’s, the horror genre was characterized by a closed narrative that tended to reinforce the values of the traditional family and the government itself. Postmodern horror introduces new aspect to the genre¬–namely disrupting the order of society (primarily through the use of violence and other types of shocking ploy), and, unlike their predecessors, movies from the 1960’s and so forth left their endings open. In Wes Craven’s The Hills Have Eyes (1977), the body count of the “normal” American family, the Carters against the clan of the cannibalistic and incestuous Jupiter’s is high, and the ending is unsatisfying by the separate view of good versus evil. Even though the movie ends with two good characters living, the fear and tragedy remain behind, insurmountable, and viewers are left with the feeling that things have not been and will not be resolved.

As in the majority of his past works, the film masterfully evokes the black-and-white silent classics and Technicolor fantasies in order to create a layered story that despite the numerous sinister characters and baffling interactions among them, can be summarized as a man desperately looking for a woman.

Livanelli in his novel are very deep and complex creatures with very specific feelings and motivations. While Abdullah Oguz’s characters lack some of the depth of Livanelli’s, he still shows the more superficial conflicts within the characters on the screen. It is every director’s right to adapt a story to fit his purpose, and in the process of doing this, Oguz created a film that, while different from the story’s original intention, still caused a great deal of thought and emotion in the audience. While the psychological analysis within the novel was a more intriguing and complex story, Oguz’s film was still a pleasure to watch.

At first glance, the film seems to fit into the category of a psychological thriller, but as the film progresses, it becomes apparent that it acts as a metaphor for man’s inherent need for a means of self-definition. Furthermore, the Return was a breath of fresh air in that it exemplified an ambiguous and complex narrative rather than fitting into the stereotypical plotline that seems to define recent movies as ultimately having a happy ending.

The overtly feminized cursing in King Lear and symbolic play on words in Logan give light to an ever-present cultural issue, the devaluation of women by men in a patriarchal society. Both male protagonists share a staggering similarity as cruel and callous parents but are relatively free from any judgment of their behavior. In fact, the film and play both have tremendously high body counts due entirely to the hubris of the male lead characters, and yet they are still the hero's; albeit tragic ones.

Wild Tales is dark, comedy with a series of realistic events that turn unpredictable. This film displays six different segments and six different story lines with a variety of actors. I believe that the best edited segment is the “Road to Hell” segment. The “Road to Hell” story line is about two male drivers, where their road rage becomes deadly. This analysis will go over how Szifron and Barbieri used certain shot angles, sound, and music to intensify and bring the story together. In the “Road to Hell” segment the director does not include the character’s name, for analysis purposes I will refer to the first character as Carlos and the second character as Pete.

937 wordsRead More - Analysis of German Film Run Lola Runanalytical essayRun Lola Run, is a German film about a twenty-something woman (Lola) who has 20 minutes to find $100,000 or her love (Manni) will be killed. The search for the money is played through once with a fatal ending and one would think the movie was over but then it is shown again as if it had happened ten seconds later and changed everything. It is then played out one last time. After the first and second sequence, there is a red hued, narrative bridge. There are several purposes of those bridges that affect the movie as a whole. The film Run Lola Run can be analyzed by using the four elements of mise-en scene. Mise-en-scene refers to the aspects of film that overlap with the art of the theater. Mise-en-scene pertains to setting, lighting, costume, and acting style. For the purpose of this paper, I plan on comparing the setting, costume, lighting, and acting style in the first red hued, bridge to that of the robbery scene. Through this analysis, I plan to prove that the purpose of the narrative bridge in the film was not only to provide a segue from the first sequence to the second, but also to show a different side of personality within the main characters.
