Throughout the essay, many references and comparisons are made to other films. Also incorporated in the essay is the use of advance terminology; Giving indication that the author is very knowledge about film. Haslem mentions in her essay “Neon Gothic: Lost in Translation”, “In many ways Coppola’s film exhibits marks of classic European art cinema. Specifically, in her interest in stillness rather than action, Coppola recreates a similar impressionistic resonance that was initially established by filmmakers like Carl Dreyer in The Passion of Joan of Arc (1928) and elaborated by Michelangelo Antonioni in films like L’Eclisse (1962) and L’Avventura (1960)”
The director brings Mozelle’s story to live and makes the viewer almost feel Mozelle’s pain. As Mozelle tells her story we can see the reenactment in the mirror.

Most often, they were obscure and cheesy cult films that were made by maverick, highly individualistic film-makers with low-budget resources and little commercial marketing.

For this week’s assignment, we were assigned to watch Hugo, which to me was very enjoyable. The film tells viewers about the life of an orphaned young boy named Hugo Cabret. In the movie, Hugo is on a quest for survival. Through this he learns valuable life lessons. Volger’s archetypes, the historical aspects of the narratives in the film, and actor portrayls all serve as a reflection of Hugo’s heroism.
The loss of her dreams affects her because instead of becoming loved by many as a famous film star she became isolated and loved by none, not even her own husband. Unfortunately, her life, like her dream, came to an abrupt
Cinematography is critical to the success of any movie. Cinematography uses composition, lighting, depth of field, and camera angles to determine what the audience sees. Casablanca’s cinematography directs the audience’s attention, shapes the audiences feelings, and reveals the theme of the movie.

Although maintaining a commendable appearance is important, and having beauty isn’t necessarily unacceptable, true love is heavier in internal attributes. In “Cyrano de Bergerac”, Edmond Rostand uses conflict, tone, and diction to express the theme that true love is beyond beauty and instead about what’s on the inside. Edmond Rostand illustrates that one’s appearance is not the only factor to consider when falling in love by creating conflict between outer and inner beauty. When Roxane is talking to Christian about

A city is a creation of modernity and a place where social contrast and cultural collisions take place. Paris, one of the most iconic modern city, is the main setting for both Cleo from 5 to 7(Dir. Varda, 1961) and Inception(Dir. Nolan, 2010). Agnes Varda’s Paris is very different from Christopher Nolan’s Paris in visualization, audio and themes, and the distinctions in representations are caused by the differences in genre, time, objectives and gender of the directors.
The most memorable scene in the film is the opening scene of the movie which is also my choice of scene to elaborate on mise-en-scene.
Vigée Le Brun’s self-portraits with her daughter extol the joy of motherhood, but not without a subtle narcissistic touch consisting of emphasizing her own good looks.”(61) In the self-portrait Vigée Lebrun compares herself and her daughter to the Madonna and Child. The Madonna is the ultimate figure of feminine virtue and motherhood. By placing herself and Julie in the center of the composition and through use of neoclassical robes the viewer is forced to make the connection. She presents her relationship with her daughter as idyllic.
Artwork is a form of self-expression from an artist based on life experience, or on something that the artist feels strongly about (Berenson, 87).
