A Raisin in the Sun PBA Unit 2 Cinematography and filmmaking are art forms completely open to interpretation in many ways such lighting, the camera as angles, tone, expressions, etc. By using cinematic techniques a filmmaker can make a film communicate to the viewer on different levels including emotional and social.

Stuart Rosenberg’s 1967 film, Cool Hand Luke follows the story of Luke Jackson, a non-conformist, veteran with blatant disregard for authority while serving time in a Southern, rural prison. The opening scene of this film features a brief incident of Luke “beheading” parking meters while intoxicated. As he destroys public property, the ‘Violation’ warning flashes, foreshadowing his inevitable arrest. When the police arrive to arrest Luke for the minor public disturbance, he is asked for his motive behind the rebellious act. With no sign of remorse, he grins and replies, “you could say I was settling an old score” (1967), allowing for the assumption that he has had a pre-existing resistance to authority.

Luke's character develops throughout the story from carefree and energetic to hopeless, yet fulfilled. The strange aura that Luke has change normal chain gang prison events into unique and uplifting moments.

To start off, they talk about in how many Hollywood films they have an Invisible class norm. This invisible norm is that the middle class is the class most people relate too, and want to be in. Although this is true for most people it is not true for all people.
Still, it appears to be clear to me that today 's Americans commit additional time, cash and vitality in quest for insignificant popular culture than any time in recent memory. Whole TV stations are dedicated to one of my most loved inconsistent expressions, diversion news. A word from a talk show host can and inspires a large number of individuals to purchase a book that the greater part of them presumably will never read.

Furthermore, obviously, there is this business of what makes an American Idol.
