Mad Max: Fury Road and the novel, Girl at War by Sara Novic both contain endings where the protagonist achieves a goal. In Mad Max: Fury Road, the ending is more successful due to the successful recovery of the Citadel and the hope for a better future. 
 In Girl at War, the ending includes Ana reaching her goal of finally finding“home”where she does not have to lie about her past and can overcome her mental issues, but Ana’s goal of coming back to Croatia to find out what has happened to the people she had lost is not fulfilled. She never does find out where Marina ended up after Petar’s death. The ending was not as satisfying to the reader because the reader was left with unanswered questions. The reader desires to know if Ana will stay in …show more content…

Another death that is displayed is the death of Immortan Joe himself in which makes the viewer rejoice at a chance for a new beginning. The suspense of what the war boy’s back at the citadel will do when Mad Max is seen to be the one driving Immortan Joe’s car makes the thrill of the film last until the very end. At the end of the film, the hope for a new community full of unity and equality is created when the wives help the common people up onto the platform that takes them up to the citadel. Also, the water pipes are turned on for the people below by Furiosa giving the viewer hope that these people living in poverty will never have to beg for water again with their new leaders. Lastly, the most successful part of the ending of Mad Max: Fury Road is that Mad Max did not ride up to the top of the citadel, but remained with the common people like a true hero. 
 The endings of Mad Max: Fury Road and Girl at War both include happy endings, but I believe Mad Max: Fury Road gave the viewer more details in what the future may hold for the post-apocalyptic society. In Girl at War, the reader only gets a sense of accomplishment from Ana, but not exactly what she accomplishes or what that accomplishment contains for the future. Therefore, the ending of Mad Max: Fury Road is more

Hendrix states that a more traditional conclusion, that restates the themes of the book would have been a better choice. “Sadly, its lack leaves the reader with a sense of incompleteness, significantly weakens what would otherwise be a strong work, and rather mutes the effect of the points the author wished to make” (Hendrix). I do not necessarily agree with his statement here. I find it to be boring or unnecessary to end a book by just restating the themes and information that the entire book previously laid out. I thought it was a good way to end the book, since it furthered her theme of the divide in treatment between enlisted men and officers, without explicitly recapping her

Immortan Joe’s group of “war boys” painted white and believing that upon death as a warrior they shall fight with their “godly” leader in “Valhalla,” chanting, “Witness me” as they plummet to their death; is clearly the group’s social identity reinforced through Immortan Joe’s leadership (Cite Film). Furiosa, however, dares to break away from the Immortan’s group to create a new group with the former slave-wives; their chant of “We are not Things!” and visible fierce fight for freedom exemplifies the new group identity they established in their betrayal of the “Citadel,” the Immortan’s base territory, and then uphold against the chasing of Immortan’s own forces (Cite Film). The social identity theory assists in the understanding of such overt

It doesn’t seem right to have such a perfect ending. However, McCarthy had a son as an old man, and it seems quite obvious that The Road features them both. When this is taken into account, it becomes clear that McCarthy does not wish to see the character that is supposed to be his son left alone in a world ravaged by violence.

Metropolis is a 1927 German expressionistic science fiction film, directed by Fritz Lang. Much of the plot is established following influences of the first world war, and the culture of the Weimar Republic in Germany. Although criticised for its allusions to communism in the resolution of the film, Lang explores mostly themes of industrialisation and mass production, which, coincidentally, were two developments that provided a large influence in the First World War. Lang also explores themes of the Weimer view of American modernity, communism and fascist rule. Politically, this film was shot after WWI, meaning many of its influences were extracted from the horrors of the First World War.

When you watch movies and read stories, they're either incomparablely different or unbearably similar. So, when you find a movie and a book both similar and different in equal measures, and perfectly balanced between pure opposites and exactly the same, you're going to pay attention. In the story, The Most Dangerous Game, written by Richard Connel, Rainsford, the main character and world renowned hunter, falls of a ship and lands up on an isolated island. Here, the antagonist, General Zaroff, hunts humans for fun and decides to hunt Rainsford. In High Noon, a movie written by Carl Foreman, a lawman named Will Kane protects his town from Frank Miller, a criminal who returned from jail to get revenge on him.

In 2004 the film “Motorcycle Diaries” was released depicting the motorcycle journey that Ernesto “Che” Guevara and Alberto Granado took throughout South America. This journey was important because it influenced Guevara’s political ideals and led to his involvement in the cuban revolution and his famous persona as “Che”. The Director Walter Salles understood the importance of the story and wanted to tell it in a less political more emotionally based light (Confluencia, pg.109.) Salles did a great deal of research over a span of three years for this film. He spoke with family members of Alberto and Ernesto, he followed the journey to find realistic shooting locations and studied asthma, leprosy and Inca history (Travelogue, pg16).

Blade runner 2049 review and sequels in Hollywood A cathartic monologue pairs well with an unrelenting downpour, while nothing beats a genial powdering of snow for finally hanging loose and making peace with the bullet hole in your gut.1Both work as resolution, just shades apart. When a Londoner wants to project pathos onto a cityscape he adds rains, a Montréalais adds snow. Blade runner 2049 revisits the city of Ridley Scott 's 1982 Original, just paints it with a different palate. The Los Angeles 2049 is indeed a colder place.

This is ironic because the 50’s culture the game is based off of had very different guidelines. In the 50’s there was a set formula and image for success. However in Fallout 4, there are a variety of endings and no single one is the best. V.A.T.S. and S.P.E.C.I.A.L. serve as tools to help the player create their own path and improve

Throughout life we are told to express our individuality and swim against the stream of the general population to put emphasis on the characteristics that make us, in short, individuals. Cherishing what makes an individual special and different is what establishes roots in creativity and self expression, however there is a forced false sense of comradery in today’s society that takes the form of involvement with the masses; peer pressure forces many people to fall into the mold of an average character. The Academy award winning film, “The Incredibles” displays the themes of expressing one’s true self and special qualities, and in contrast repression by society to fit a basic mold. These themes are elaborated on through the development of the main characters and expressed further through the supporting roles and their dialogue and endeavors.

The film Mad Max: Fury Road (George Miller, 2015) explores a dystopia created by patriarchal dominance and gender inequality. However, it shifts the dystopian outlook by destroying the patriarch Immortan Joe thus allowing it to transform into, as Taylor Boulware states, a ‘feminist Utopia.’ The way this is done in Mad Max is through the empowerment of female characters through reversal of gender roles. Also, the ‘feminist Utopia’ in Mad Max is like Sarah Scott’s Millenium Hall – such as exclusion of most males and valuing female philanthropy.

In the story Walter doesn't really have a goal, he just drives around and does chores for his wife, this triggers different daydreams from his boredom depending on the location. This causes the ending to be a day dream and makes it lackluster. In the movie the ending is much better as it is a happi r and clearer ending. The movie ends with our main characters walking off to the park, “ you want to go to the park with me?”. This adds a better story telling experience due to the fact the reader isn't confused on what
