Ourselves to Death" aims to show how the television can manipulate a person 's decision in politics, religion, education and turn those into entertainment. Even today Postman’s ideeas stand strong and it is true that if an information is entertaining the viewer will not look at the autenticity or what the origins of it are.

Now see how Hunger Games are very unalike in seeing the whole meaning of love, relationship, and status. Hunger Games shows how staying alive and surviving are the main factor of the novel. Other than that it shows the way young lives are exploited in a life-or-death reality show that gratifies the voyeurism of the indulgent residents of the Capitol. There is a way of thinking that love and violence and survival are commodified for the viewers who watch the games. It is only for amusement that pleases

With Rear Window (1954), Alfred Hitchcock proved himself to be one of the best directors of suspense thrillers filled with mystery and humour. He himself called the film his most cinematic one because it was told only in visual terms (Morrow), but it was also a challenging “editing experiment” as the entire film was shot from one place, Jeff’s apartment that overlooked his backyard. The Film follows L.B. Jeffries “Jeff” (James Stewart), a photographer confined to a wheelchair in his apartment after

“Barn Burning” is a very interesting short story that’s I have read many times throughout my high school and college time. This story was something that really interested me when I read it for the first time as I think it does most people. William Faulkner was as ruthless as a writer, as anyone tried to be. Most of where he grew up was Oxford, Mississippi. The man had grown up and never really had a care in the world and that’s why his writing is worth the read and time. This is a very popular short

The main character gets a second chance to fix failing relationships. I will be comparing and contrasting "Seventeen Again" 2000 and a the modern 2009 version.

On the other hand, a film like Paradise Now—an anecdotal tale around two Palestinian suicide planes—tags along, the watcher is torn between two driving forces. From one viewpoint, you trust the film will enable the abomination to seen for what it is, yet on the other; you believe it will allow the characters to' humankind to come through, in every one of its measurements, without lessening their circumstance to purposeful publicity. The trap, for the movie producer and group of onlookers alike, is

In the movie A Much to do About Nothing a couple things that they changed was the setting of where everything was going on and instead of being in color they had changed it to black and white. Instead of being in older times, it was placed in modern times but with the same dialog and changed the color to black and white to make it feel older than what it originally was.

This film was directed, produced, and screenplayed by Oliver stone and research shows that there was a $40 million budget to put the film together.

Since I was a child, I have always enjoy watching Keanu Reeves movies. As an actor, he has an enormous ability to act in different genre of movies including love, horror and even action movies, which makes him a marvelous actor.
