Summary Of The Movie Wasteland Vik
Most of his works portrays situations of Brazil. I am impressed with Vik work in the video or movie Wasteland, and actually watched the video twice. He is very dedicated to his homeland and his people. He did not only brought beauty out of trash, but he also change the life of many trash pickers around town. I believe that sometimes it takes just the simplest thing to make a change, and one person has to make that change, and that is exactly what he did. When I went to the museum, of the many things that I saw, one reminded me of the trash pickers of Brazil. It reads, “What will you leave behind”? This writing was on top of a box that was full with trash of empty plastic bottles, glass bottles and other things that was in the movie wasteland.

    When watching the documentary "Gasland" by Josh Fox , I have had no prior knowledge of what Fracking truly was. I have to say though as this documentary was in full swing I couldn't keep my eyes off the screen. As I couldn’t believe after watching this film what fracking was. I thought fracking was insanely harmful to not only animals , humans and the property they both live on as well. It did two very different things when it came to animals and humans. When it comes to the animals they were the ones that had no choose but to drink it so they were not only dying because of it but they also had hair lose, and are unable to eat be as well. This is terrible for the farmers cause they now cannot breed this cow or this pig , they now cannot…

    Consider the role of television in the film; and how it used in society. What role does it play in this culture of the film and why is it preferred to reading? Usually, the parlor walls contain large wall-sized television screens. They put a screen that is as large as the wall in a particular room, and if they can get all four walls of a room covered in television screens, then you have a total and complete interactive and entertainment package. At the beginning of the movie, Mildred and Montag have three T.V. walls in their "parlor" or living room, and Mildred is hinting around to Montag that she wants yet another one. However, the cost for a T.V. wall that is exorbitant it is nearly a third of Montag's yearly salary, which makes it so expensive; so it is a hard decision to make for him and his wife.…

    The fifties are sometimes considered a “golden age” within the history of the United States. The economy was booming, Elvis was rocking, and things were looking positive. The Korean War was ending, leading to a time of temporary Cold War “peace.” Jackie Robinson led the Brooklyn Dodgers to six National League pennants and one World Series title as the color barrier was slowly breaking throughout the a Civil Rights movement. The fifties were also a new era for Hollywood. Many movies around the time were about the Cold War and the spread of communism. Others, however, were more so about the teenage years of the baby boomers. One movie that highlighted this time period’s “beta” theme was Rebel Without a Cause.…

    In the film ‘The Last of The Mohicans’ directed by Michael Mann, an important idea that was shown throughout the film is loss of innocence. Loss of innocence is something that often involves a new understanding of the nature of humanity and its potential for good or evil. Cora is a character that portrays this theme well. The director uses close ups, medium shots and point of view shots to capture Cora evolving into a strong and courageous woman.…

    This gives a deeper meaning to the documentary with the emotional relatability throughout Waste Land. The camera pans and peers into Vik’s perspective to give the clearer image of his transformation and connection with the Waste Land. The beauty of his views morphing through artistic distance, light, shadow, and contrasts are the strongest evidence that the camera is not only for the viewer’s eye but the view of Vik himself in his…

    42 Movie Summary

    • 622 Words
    • 3 Pages

    Jackie Robinson, 42, first black man to play on a team of all whites and make it to the world championship. He rocks. His number is retired and people wear the number 42 on their jersey every year for one day because of him. All of this information I got from the movie 42. The movie was amazing and very good! In the beginning when it showed how he became selected was different than what I imagined it would’ve been done. During the movie there were threats from white people saying they’d come where Robinson lived and hurt him or something, so he left with the black reporter guy who later became a part of the American Baseball Press or whatever it was called. However, Robinson thought that he was leaving cause he got drafted from the team. :P Later on in the movie, because Robinson got accepted to play on a Major League Baseball Team, the Brooklyn Dodgers. However, most members on the team wrote a petition saying that they wouldn't want to play baseball if Robinson joined the team because he was black. Jackie Robinson was not only bullied by the audience, but also by other players of different teams. One of those people were Ben Chapman; he bullied Robinson until he almost lost it, but had a teammate stand up for him, and Chapman ended up having to take a picture with Robinson to show the world he changed whether he did or not. Another person who technically bullied Robinson was the guy who threw the pitch at Robinson’s head. His name I forgot but I remember because of that pitch to the head, both teams broke out in a fight and Robinson was confused on what was going on or so it looked like. Of course though, Robinson got the Dodgers to make it all the way to Championship or World Series, I forget which one it was. I can sort of tell that throughout the movie, there was a lot of things that they most likely left out like how much and/or bad he was threatened and what he went through being the only black man on a white team, etc.…

    I watched the film Vegucated and overall I thought the film was educational but very graphic. Watching the scenes with the slaughter house were very eye opening to what we do to these animals all because we want to eat meat and dairy. It was just very sad to watch and it made me wonder if all of this was necessary and do we really need meat and dairy to survive? I also like how it follows the lives of three people as they go through the transition of becoming vegan or vegetarian. I also didn’t know that some foods were considered vegan like Oreos, cookies, and pancake mix because I consider them junk food and not very healthy. I wish the film talked about going on a plant-base diet and what kind of foods we should eat and the benefits of that…

    The movie "Fletch", staring Chevy Chase, is a movie about an investigating reporter for a Los Angeles newspaper, Erwin Fletcher "Fletch", loitering around a beach in attempt to pass as a beach junkie with the intention of getting to the bottom of the drug trade and attempting to figure out who is behind the whole thing. While "working" the beaches, Fletch runs into a businessman who asks him to murder him so his wife will inherit the life insurance policy. Fletch, being the investigative reporter senses something fishy and does what he does best, investigates the situation. Along the way, Fletch commits many illegal acts and crimes in attempt to get to the bottom of the situation. Although his intentions are good, Fletch gets into a lot of trouble. At the very beginning of the movie Fletch, Alan Stanwyck approaches "Fletch" and asks him to join him in a meeting to offer him a proposition. After accepting $1,000 dollars cash just to listen to Stanwycks proposition, Fletch meets with him at Stanwycks house. Stanwyck explains to Fletch that he wants him to murder Stanwyck in his own house. Stanwyck details that he is dying from bone cancer and does not want to suffer through the pain any longer. He says he can not commit suicide because his life insurance policy would be null and void. Fletch accepts the proposition, agreeing to murder Stanwyck in exchange for $50,000 and a safe way out of the country. There are a couple things I found in this scene that show Fletch committing multiple crimes. The most obvious crime committed was Criminal Conspiracy to commit murder. According to Section 5.03 of the Model Penal Code, one is guilty of criminal conspiracy if he/she agrees with another person that one or more of them will engage in conduct that constitutes such crime or an attempt or solicitation to commit such crime. In other words, criminal conspiracy is an agreement between two persons to commit an unlawful act or to use unlawful means to accomplish an act…

    The scene I have chosen as my personal favorite is the opening scene of the movie, Stranger Than Fiction, 2006, starring Will Ferrell and Emma Thompson, and directed by Marc Forster from a screenplay by Zach Helm. The American humorous drama-fantasy film (Smith) portrays the self-contained IRS agent, Harold Crick, whose dull life is perfectly regulated by numbers and calculations until one day, when he begins to hear all his life’s events being chronicled by an, at that time, unknown English woman’s voice in his head, which ultimately turns his orderly life upside down.…

    A Horror Film Analysis

    • 582 Words
    • 3 Pages

    Blood, gore, death, darkness, suspense, and fear of the unusual are just a few ingredients that are stirred into making a horror film. Horror films are projected to create a psychological sense of fear; however, humans tend to enjoy and crave the heart-pumping adrenaline rush of terror. Some believe it is the calling of curiosity while others think it is the section of insanity that imbedded itself into our mind. Trepidations are not a trend that has set forth in the twenty first century; we humans hunger after the thrill of terror ever since Roman times. In addition, horror films closely relate to events like gladiators fighting at the Flavian Amphitheatre, not only because of the blood and gore, but for the audience purpose of intentionally…

    I choose Forrest Gump as a historical movie. The movie was about a young man with a mental disability that goes through this major event in the 1960 – 1970s not only that but it was kind of romantic. Though out the entire movie, Forrest seems to be going along with the time line in his life looking for his first true love Jenny. Mean while she is living it out as a hippie tagging along with the wrong crowd and as for Forrest he maintains hope that one day she will love him. Not only that but the events that he lived in leads him to become a war hero and a billionaire. In the end he realize that life keeps on going as a “destiny or floating alike a breeze”.…
