    Movie Analysis: A River Runs Through It

    One of the themes for the movie, A River Runs Through It, deals with the affection in a family. In my opinion, it shows we should watch out for our loved ones. When things go wrong we should help and support our family members. I notice it was something that brought the minister and his two sons together. The two brothers learned as young boys that their father was worthy of respect and could teach them many things, not just about fishing, but about life as well. The movie shows Norman looking out for his brother, Paul, and he tries to keep him away from trouble. The two boys grew up loving to fly fish and the information they received when they were young helped them become better at fishing and also better in…

    Gangster Film Analysis

    Hollywood entered a new phase with the coming of sound movies in 1927 and it was also chronicled as the golden decade for the crime film, with the flourishing of two classical genres-gangster film and prison film. The gangster films echoed the financial predicaments of many ordinary Americans during the Great Depression, and in doing so it influences the succeeding genres. Gangster films connected criminality with economic hardship and portrayed gangsters as underdogs. They soothed the financially struggling Americans and at the same time attacked crime and the government’s inability to control it. Prison films also had its root in silent films which became popular in the 1930s, left the audience cheering for the “wrong side” (Rafter 20).…

    Film Review - Chinatown

    Chinatown is a 1974 American neo-noir film, directed by Roman Polanski. The film features many elements of the film noir genre, particularly a multi-layered story that is part mystery and part psychological drama. The story, set in Los Angeles in 1937, was inspired by the California Water Wars, the historical disputes over land and water rights that had raged in southern California during the 1910s and 1920s, in which William Mulholland acted on behalf of Los Angeles interests to secure water rights in the Owens Valley. Chinatown is frequently included in lists of the greatest films in world cinema. It holds second place on the American Film Institute list of Best Mystery Films. Chinatown is set in 1937 and portrays the manipulation of a critical municipal resource — water — by a cadre of shadowy oligarchs.…

    Heros In Stand By Me

    One of the most evident traits the boys in the movie demonstrate is selflessness, where they each give of themselves for the wellbeing of each other. For example, during a scene in the movie, Teddy Duchamp, the careless adrenaline junkie of the group, attempts to participate in the dangerous act of “Train jumping”. Knowing that Teddy could lose his life, Chris pursues him and forcefully removes him from the path of the train, thus saving his life. This portrays one major idea in the movie; their harsh childhoods establish the friendships they share with each other as the most precious gift they have, and this provides the incentive for them to do things for each other without personal gain.…

    Bitch Resting Face Analysis

    They would often fight with each because they were jealous of Papa and his baby brother since they were their father’s favorites. Papa’s sisters, one in particular, Dale would get in trouble and blame it on her the other siblings since she was one of the baby sisters. Even though they fought numerous times, they had good times too. They would go to church every Sunday, played baseball and football, and went hunting and fishing. They mainly did these things because they lived in the backwoods country of Texas and that was what was really out there doing the 1940s and 50s. There was just dirt, trees and the sky something I am glad that I was not born into. In the next state over, as a child, Nanny was not raised by her mother but instead by her grandmother and aunt. They were heavily involved in the church since her grandmother and aunt were the so-called “key holders” of the church meaning, they just unlocked the doors of the church whenever the pastor needed to be there or had service. Nanny’s childhood activities included going to church every Sunday, taking piano lessons, attending Mardi Gras and spending time with her cousin Burnell. He was more like her brother since that was her aunt’s son and was always getting into trouble unlike Nanny who was a “goody…

    Chris Chambers - Stand by Me

    Chris Chambers is a good-hearted kid that lives in the distasteful shadow of his father, a petty criminal and dreg of society. Although Chris wants people to judge him individually and fairly, he is pigeonholed by society as a troublesome punk from a family of losers. Chris Chambers is the brother of a hoodlum who goes by the name of Eyeball, who is a menace to many people. Chris, although he is a good kid, is always blamed when bad things happen. Everyone expects him to turn out like his older brother, Eyeball. He does not appreciate the fact that his brother is a hoodlum and tries very hard to be a good kid, but everyone expects him to be bad. Therefore, being the rational person of the friends, Chris does not argue back with anyone, he just tries to find the best way out of conflicts so that no harm is done. Chris is a fairly rough but fiercely loyal, caring, intelligent and sensitive boy who comes from a ruffian family and is viewed as a thief and troublemaker as his alcoholic father is one and so is his hoodlum gang member brother, Eyeball Chambers. Chris is best friends with sensitive loss-damaged intelligent writer, Gordon LaChance, whose parents treat him as if he is not their son. Following the loss of their first son that they had paid attention to, they pay very little attention to Gordie. Chris acts as a father to Gordie and possesses the faith that he will not end up in the smart courses like Gordie, but rather in the basic courses alongside their other two friends, Teddy Duchamp and Vern Tessio. Chris, during the Labor Day Weekend of 1959 at 11 years old, set off alongside Gordie, Teddy and Vern to find the body of a boy their age named Ray Brower who attended the neighboring town's school, Chamberlain. He had been reported missing and Vern's brother's best friend Charlie Hogan had confided in him that the boy Ray Browers was indeed dead as a result of a passing train that had hit while he was out picking blueberries near Back Harlow Road. The boys…
