one of the biggest impacts in the film industry. Following the 1970’s many filmmakers took elements from Blaxploitation to use in their own films. Many of these elements and narratives have been parodied and imitated by filmmakers in the 1980’s, 1990’s, 2000’s and even today. Filmmakers such as Spike Lee, John Singleton, Mario Van Peebles, etc. owe a debt to this very influential genre. Blaxploitation can span many film genres.

I will be using the Written Essay format when it comes down to my final project. For this project I will be examining the classic firefighter film Backdraft (Ron Howard, 1991). This is a fun big budgeted film made in the 90’s that still happens to have the feel of a drama from the 1980’s. The film itself covers many of the topics that help associate the film itself with the tropes of 80’s melodrama. The tropes it does follow include the ensemble cast (this time with a nearly all male cast), family

On the political side it is easy to see the race and ethnicity of the film maker while on the social side the audience can tell the filmmaker is spreading a message. All together “Boyz N’ the Hood” is a very good film that depicts the type of stuff that happens in the poorer parts of Los Angeles

Tyler Perry. Do you know what these names represent? These are the six top-grossing black directors in Hollywood, in order. While F. Gary Grey is at the bottom of the list in all-time gross, he is at the top when it comes to the success of a single film. F. Gary Gray made his mark with "Friday" and again with "Set It Off."

American Indians have adapted throughout the centuries

Kierra Jordan February 23, 2017 Patricia Sue Head Summit left her mark on Earth as one greatest coaches to ever coach the game of basketball. In her 64 years of living, she created a legacy, dynasty, and was the epitome of success in women’s basketball.

The first two films that featured computer generated images with significance were Tron (1982) and The Last Starfighter (1984). They were commercial failures, leading to most directors to relegate this kind of images to images to think that computers had created them, even if they were not in reality. The first character truly created in CGI was created by Pixar for the film The Young Sherlock Holmes in 1985 (not counting the simple polyhedron character Tron binary answering yes and no). This consisted

For my essay I have chosen to examine Alex Garland's 2015 sci-fi film, Ex Machina. I decided to focus my research on the portrayal of sexuality and morality in the film, focusing closely on how the characters represent these themes. Is Ex Machina a feminist emancipation story, or a cautionary tale about the future of technology? Caleb is the first character we encounter. He is a programmer for a company called Blue Book and believes he has won a competition to spend a week with the company's CEO

Film makers continue to misrepresent African-Americans in movies depicting them as characters, such as the brash women, domestic workers, thugs, and the “magical negro”. The brash African American women is depicted as being rude and having an attitude towards people in her immediate surrounding.
