The Sapphires film is directed by Wayne Blair and produced in 2012. The Sapphires is a beautifully filmed true story based in 1968 about the story of four indigenous women who go by The Sapphires who got picked to sing to the soldiers in the Vietnam war. The scene that is being analysed is 18.15-2o.23 in this scene Gail is singing a gloomy song for the soldiers because she thinks that Dave is dead. This scene is around the end of the movie just before they go back home. The purpose of this scene is to make us feel sorry for the Sapphires because they just witnessed their manager being killed and that they are singing their sorrows out.
Both Blade Runner and Fahrenheit 451’s authors intentionally illustrate a hierarchical structure within their dystopian societies, where power is centralized, wielded, and restricted to monopolise control over the population. This is best exemplified within the texts where both positions of power represent the apex of the societal hierarchy. This is clearly noticeable within Blade Runner as the Tyrell Corporation's dominance is absolute. Through its control over technology, resources, knowledge, and the lives of replicants and humans alike, the Tyrell corporation plays a god-like role where others are treated as disposable commodities to be exploited for labour or entertainment. Fahrenheit 451 utilises the same concept of power to portray the
By the utilization of this technique, the film’s mise-en-scene brings the audience’s attention to the space as a sort of institution of relaxation, in times of
Over the past few years I have viewed Blade Runner, and it’s many different cuts, and each time I come away with new ideas and questions on my mind. Ridley Scott’s film explores many issues, but perhaps my favorite is what it means to be human. No matter the version you watch, I believe that Scott’s film comes to the conclusion that being human is more complex than the outcome of the Voigt-Kampff test. I’ve personally come to the conclusion that Scott and screenwriters Hampton Fancher and David Webb Peoples aim to make Roy and his other Nexus-6 followers tragic and sympathetic characters that are as human as Sebastian or Tyrell. The story opens up by making the characters seem like the villains of the film, with Leon murdering agent Holden and Roy’s threatening demeanor.
In the futuristic Sci-Fi movie Blade Runner 2049 with stars like Ryan Gosling, Harrison Ford and Ana de Armas the future of a nation is chaotic. This film was first released 30 years ago and now it was remade by Alcon Entertainment, Scott Free Production and Columbia Pictures. In 2049, bioengineered humans called “Replicants” have been introduced to societies around the globe to serve communities. K is one of the Replicants and his task is to persecute older replicants, which is why he is also known as “blade runner”. Everything runs smoothly until K is assigned a unique task; he is asked to kill a child of a Replicant.
Blade Runner, directed by Ridley Scott, is the film adaptation of Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep, written by Phillip Dick. The film follows the novel rather well, but there are some differences that have an immense impact on the story. Some things that can be looked at are characters, deaths, and the reason Rick Deckard decides to retire androids. Characters have a massive impact on the plot. Most of the characters are the same or very similar in the novel and film, but there are some that just do not exist in the film that are in the novel.
Dr. Strangelove Or How I Learned To Stop Worrying and Love The Bomb chronicles the lead up to full out nuclear war after General Ripper calls for a non recallable unprovoked nuclear attack on the Soviet Union during the Cold War. Both the characters and the plot encapsulate the anxieties caused by the Cold war both foreign and domestic. Dr. Strangelove serves as a lens to explain the anxieties associated with the NSC-68 Cold War blueprint and the Korean War by portraying the mindsets of President Truman and John Foster Dulles in the characters of General Ripper and General Turgidson. The film also depicts domestic anxieties regarding women’s rights and McCarthyism through General Turgidson’s interactions with women and the Russian ambassador.
Hello Tiffiny, Excellent choice, The Princess Bride movie is a 1987 American romantic comedy fantasy adventure film directed and co-produced by Rob Reiner. I like your technique to watch the movie without sound to enjoy the visual scene. I love the way this scene was shot with deep focus. The technique to shoot with the deep focus where everything is in focus at the same time and shot with a wide-angle or relatively short-focal-length lens (Goodykoontz, & Jacobs, 2014). For this scene, music accompanies the action and mood for the shot, similar to the scene in the movie Casper I analyzed.
Gone with the Wind Analysis While watching the film Gone with the Wind most people would pay little to no attention to details like camera angle or lighting. However, Gone with the Wind is a great example of mise-en-scene ,what is physically being shot in the scene without editing and can include, but is not limited to camera movement, lighting, focus and scenery, in many different ways. Mise-en-scene actually appears during the first scene when Scarlett is sitting on the steps of Tara, her family’s plantation, along with her two of her male companions. Scarlett is sitting on the top stair while the twins are sitting on stairs below hers almost as if they were worshipping her. Scarlett is also looking down upon the twins as if she were superior to them.
Film Scene Analysis The film I have chosen is “Psycho”(1) and the scene I will be analysing occurs around the thirty-five minute mark, when Norman Bates (Anthony Perkins) and Marion Crane (Janet Leigh) are conversing in the parlour of Norman’s office. This scene is critical to the rest of the film for a number of reasons and is expressed largely through the mise-en-scène. The scene opens with a low-shot of a stuffed owl with its wings spread overlooking the room. In later shots of Norman the owl can be seen in the background and appears to be surveying him.
Week-in-Review: Weekend Box Office, Stranger Things, Game of Thrones and Gambit Movie Blade Runner 2049 Retires Kingsman Box Office Mojo reports that the sequel to Ridley Scott's 1982 sci-fi classic came in first at the last weekend's box office, earning $32.7 million in US cinemas. However, it's doubtful that Blade Runner 2049 will succeed in recuperating its costs. Even when one adds $40 million Blade Runner 2049 earned so far overseas, this barely budged its $150 million production costs. But then again, original Blade Runner also flopped hard before becoming a cult sci-fi film.
The Real Trinity One film that has a unique connection with "otherness", race, and sex is the film Blade: Trinity. With its three main characters Blade, Hannibal, and Abigail. Otherness comes from when a character is set apart due to being different in some fundamental way. Blade: Trinity is a film set in a world where vampires and hunters fight a war with humans staying ignorant to what is happening.
In the movie Pan’s Labyrinth the director Guillermo Del Toro composes his breathtaking shots with a clever use of lighting and with a meticulous attention to the mise-en-scene, emphasised by the use of a beautiful cinematography and a fantastic sound-score, in order to convey the real purpose of life through the development of Ophelia’s character and the use of profound symbolism and implicit meaning. In order to differentiate the egoistic world, represented by the Civil War’s atrocities and the General Vidal, from the spiritual and pure world, represented by the fairies and the faun, Ophelia has to pass successfully three proofs which will allow her to rediscover who she really is and reconcile herself with the soul and inner spirit, refusing the materialistic ego. The first proof that Ophelia has to face is “the toad proof” in which she has to defeat a monster a and retrieve an important key. This scene has a multitude of implicit meanings proving that Ophelia is not afraid of the oppressing external world.
In the movie, The Blade Runner, Roy Batty leads a team of replicants that arrives in Los Angeles from the Off-World colonies in an attempt to comfort the head of the Tyrell Corporation, which created them. The company that created these replicants only have a life span of four years. The team wants to find a way to extend their purposely-limited life span. Throughout the movie, one of the main characters known has Roy Batty, which is the main leader of the replicants, shows a dramatic transition from a Satan character to a Christ-like character. Three examples of this symbolic change is when he kills his father Eldon Tyrell, the three nails into his hand and the dove symbolism at the end of the movie.
