There are two versions of the film, War of the Worlds the eldest was produced in 1953, and the newer version was produced in 2005. There are many similarities and differences between the two, including the main characters, the setting, and parts of the plot. One of the main differences in the two movies is the setting. In the 1953 version, the movie was supposed to take place in mid-20th century Los Angeles, California. However, the 2005 film primarily took place in present-day New York City

In the latest King Kong film, which was released in 2005, and produced by Peter Jackson, sound film was much more advanced when it came to the special affects. As
The book and movies I am going to compare are Charlie (Willy Wonka) and the Chocolate factory. The book was written by British author, Roald Dahl. The 1971 film was directed by Mel Stuart and the 2005 film was directed by Tim Burton. Both movies and books have very good plots and details. Some are very similar; others are quite different.

George Lucas: One of the greatest film makers “With the exception of maybe a handful of people, no one has made an impact on the movie making world like George Lucas has. With hundred of hours of film with his mark out there, Lucas has amazed his audiences time and time again with expert story telling” (The Gods of Filmmaking).

remake, especially with film, one is expected to reboot and refresh the original. This can be divided into aspects regarding the plot, cinematography, actor choice, etc. In the case of both John Carpenter’s versions of the Fog, many critics and myself agree that the 2005 version did not do its best in revamping the original. It did not reboot nor refresh the original 1980 film and so has made itself into a not so great remake. This can be argued for many modern remakes of films, especially for ghost

Culture through Animation and Parody Film adaptations based on particular works such as Dickens’s Great Expectations are not the only means through which we get a glimpse of Victorian culture and society. Animated films such as Tim Burton’s Corpse Bride (2005) represent the Victorian era through humor and exaggeration and reveal Burton’s awareness of 19th century English society.

This essay will argue that films and other media cultures represent an element of modern life, whilst gender ideologies and stereotypes still remain as a question of how society thinks about gender identities. With so many films that deliver messages and images about men and women today, it is inevitable that it would leave the audiences with no impact about these ideas whether directly or indirectly. However, people live in a modern life that keeps changing and thus the traditional stereotypes and
