Steamboat Willie Film Analysis
The captain of the ship is a mouse and his girlfriend plays music on a goat. Is this really possible? It is in the imagination of Walt Disney and his artistry is now available for everyone to experience at the screen of Universal’s Colony Theater in New York City. Steamboat Willie is the first fully sound synchronized animated short film to ever be produced. The film premiered yesterday, November 18, and the reception was great. The film is fun and entertaining, but more important, a giant leap in the world of technology. This is the future.

    Seabiscuit Film Analysis

    Due to unfortunate circumstances, I will be lecturing you solely from Gary Ross' Seabiscuit with Randy Newman composing the soundtrack. For a brief overview, the movie starts with a wealthy man, Charles Howard, losing his son and looking for some way to grieve. He begins to race horses and meets Tom Smith, an old-time horse trainer. Together, they spot the unconventional Seabiscuit who Smith sees potential that no one else does. Smith convinces Howard to buy the horse and they find Red Pollard to ride the horse. All of the key parts of this movie are unconventional: Red is too big to be a jockey, Seabiscuit is too small to be a prized horse and Smith is well past his time but somehow they make it work. Seabiscuit gains popularity in a time where Americans needed to be distracted from the Depression Era. The movie continues by Howard wanting Seabiscuit to go up against the "greatest" horse, War Admiral. War Admiral's owner wants no part to do with it. Eventually, they agree to race but not before Pollard seriously injures himself. Seabiscuit is ridden by the greatest jockey of all time and beats the War Admiral. In the next race, Seabiscuit also injures himself. The rest of the movie is Seabiscuit and Red recovering together and later winning the last race shown in…

    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…

    Tell Them Willie Boy Is Here: Film Analysis

    The hunt for Willie Boy has been the subject of much debate since the manhunt occurred in 1909. Harry Lawton’s novel “Tell Them Willie Boy Is Here” was largely based on the conventional story that was told by Ben de Crevecoeur. The account told by de Crevecoeur, and subsequently Lawton, share the idea that Willie Boy was drunk off stolen alcohol when he committed the crime, even though there was no evidence of this. The film Tell Them Willie Boy Is Here was directed by Abraham Polonsky, and shared similarities to Lawton’s novel, but also distorts some key facts in the story in order to create a more compelling film narrative. Some of the presented “facts” in the film perpetuate the Indian-hating myth, as they build on the misleading details that…
