Stereotypes In The Film
There were some segments in the film that were overly long and boring which could be cut without changing the total effect. My first point would be the opening when it shows the man getting a new car which really seems meaningless to show because it doesn’t affect the storyline at the slightest. The next moment would be when it show the camera pausing in moments when the contestants are asked questions that are very difficult and the pause for a little too long for suspense. For example, when Van gets the question incorrect on purpose that zoom in took too long. Another objective would be when Van endures too long in making that speech the first few moments are brilliant for sure but after awhile it just blocks the interest in hearing the

One of the main features we can mention is the snow, which is the breach that helps the audience to understand the connection between Edward and Kim. The snow is the enjoyment of the movie which covers all and in certain way it proves that Edward even though he is confined to his own castle, he can still reach the Levittown somehow through the snow.…

    The film was shown at a very slow pace and had subtitles which might make people lose interest in the first five minutes. The music that was chosen to play in the background was in my mind not the right choice due to speed and pace. It was almost like they were leading up to best part of the documentary with suspenseful music the whole film. Petit’s lover was quickly faded out of the film towards the end. I believe there was more to Philippe’s love life that James Marsh decided to leave out of the film for some reason not stated. Petit’s lover saw the act almost as a bank robbery how everything played out.…

    Stereotypes of all racial ethnicities have been a major issue not only here in the United States but as well globally. Many people tend not to realize that latinos/latinas in the film industry have to settle for roles that have always been associated with their cultural backgrounds. In the “Latinos Beyond the Reel” it not only showed what latinos in the film industry have to deal with on a day to day basis just to have work. In many cases they are forced into these roles because the role of the hero or character that has the happy ever after endings are typically played by predominantly white people. The roles of greaser, villain, house maid, sexy latina, and criminal are all of which have become the norm to latinos for decades. The film does a wonderful job of showing the reverse side of what lations feel and their thoughts towards these stereotypical roles. It just goes to show you how media can influence people's opinions and views on a ethnic race that has stuck for more than a century.…

    A new up and running website has come to our attention, one which shows live videos featuring head turning footage that will be sure to make your mouth drop. An anonymous person has taken the time to set up contraptions which brutally kill people. The Catch? The website's viewers are the ones responsible for the killing. A direct relationship between the counter on the website and the killing machine has been set up to where the more internet surfers that log on, the faster and more painful the slaughtering occurs. This scene is from a recent film titled Untraceable. The movie is a perfect example of how much our society has changed. From a television series to song lyrics, the media has become less involved in censoring inappropriate scenes or music selections. Before the 1980's it was hard to find a television show that cursed or showed a nudity scene before twelve a.m. Since then, adult language and adult content have increased to a point where we don't even think about turning the channel or flinch when we hear these words…
