Abstract
In this article, the writer notes that in every enterprise, someone has to be first and in the case of modern science fiction motion pictures, the "first" is widely acclaimed to be Stanley Kubrick's masterpiece, '2001: A Space Odyssey'. This paper provides an avante garde analysis of Stanley Kubrick that includes some of his most important works, such as '2001: A Space Odyssey' and 'A Clockwork Orange'. To this end, a biographical assessment of Kubrick is followed by a description of the man himself, his style, and the themes expressed in his films. A summary of the research and salient findings are presented in the conclusion. This paper includes a photograph.

Conclusion

From the Paper
"It would seem that Kubrick was the right man at the right time with the right stuff to create these masterpieces, and it is difficult to determine whether they helped fuel the turbulent period in American history in which they were produced or if they were social reflections of what was taking place in American society at the time. Either way, the research was consistent in employing superlatives in describing Kubrick's work and it is safe to suggest that people will be watching his movies a hundred years from now. It would also seem safe to posit that Kubrick naturally recognized what humans would like to see if they had the opportunity to see it for themselves, whether they want to admit it or not. In the case of 2001: A Space Odyssey, for example, the director showed audiences what a happy and unexpected future might be like and how they might be a part of it. By sharp contrast, in his movie, A Clockwork Orange, Kubrick also showed audiences what the future might be like, but there was a definite "horror-show" difference involved."

Abstract
This paper discusses the 1998 film, "Run Lola Run," directed by Tom Tykwer. It discusses how the movie is constructed of motifs that symbolize the human relationship to the passage of time. The paper specifically focuses on the motif of running in the movie and the message that it sends to the audience. The paper looks at the examples throughout the film of this theme.

From the Paper
"Diagonal, angular, or oblique shots are sparingly used in Run Lola Run. High angle shots are often used for street scenes. For example, the bank is shown from a high angle as well as from eye level. High angle s used during the animation sequence when Lola dashes down the stairs. Moreover, the red filtered bedroom scene is shot at a high angle to depict the couple laying in bed. People are more often than not framed on screen at eye level, especially when they converse with one another. Tykwer uses low angle shots at key points. Most notably, the director combines high and low-angle shots in the same scene when one person stands over another. The effect shows different perspectives of the same situation."

The Star System in Hollywood, 2008.
This paper looks at the star system and its contribution to the development of Hollywood public relations and advertising strategies.

Abstract
The writer of this essay explains that the Hollywood star system was developed prior to the 1920s, but perfected by the 1930s as a way to develop a studio 'brand,' and keep people coming to the cinema week after week. The writer notes that by finding, training, developing and promoting talent, Hollywood's studio moguls were able to control product and insure on-going success. In this article, the writer explores how the star system was created and how it contributed to Hollywood's enduring success. The writer discusses that this contrasts with European cinema, which tended to be far more personal, director-driven and less oriented to developing a 'brand,' other than for the specific director.

Conclusion: The Breakdown of the Star System

From the Paper
"The studios were able to weed out the independents through the above-named actions. They were helped by the environment and technology as well. Specifically, the coming of the 'talkies' in 1927 made it more expensive for studios to produce competitive films. This helped to weed out the less-competitive independent studios. Secondly, the Crash of 1929 and the subsequent Depression had a negative effect on weekly film attendance, making it more difficult for less widely-distributed or financially weaker films to survive. As a result, the studios were able to consolidate their movie-making and -distribution strategies, and to increase their bargaining power with their stars.
"There were monumental battles between the stars and their studio heads--but only where the stars felt that they could withhold their services and do real damage to their bosses."

Harlem Renaissance and Negritude Writers, 2008.

Abstract
The paper looks at the works of poets such as Claude McKay, Langston Hughes, Countee Cullen, Leopold Senghor and Aime Cesaire and also examines Haile Gerima and Shirikiana Aina's 1993 film "Sankofa". The paper highlights how both the poems and the film develop themes related to the rediscovery of a Black culture and a new identity.

From the Paper
"The Black population coming from the continent was constantly perceived as an inferior race and was subjected to intense racial discrimination in the societies it came in contact with. In response to such attitudes, there were numerous movements which advocated an emancipation of the Black race and a rediscovery of their heritage. At the same time, initiatives such as the Harlem Renaissance and the Negritude constantly tried to reach out to the roots of the Black culture and promote a new vision of Africa and its people. Poets such as Claude McKay, Langston Hughes, and Countee Cullen were representative for the literary segment of the Harlem Renaissance, while Leopold Senghor and Aime Cesaire were strong voices for the Negritude movement."

Abstract
The paper relates that the film, "Raising Arizona" (1987) continues to be successful today in rental and DVD sales because it parodies family and social issues that are consistent in American society. The paper explores the filmmaking techniques, social issues and the directorial choices in the making of this great film and comedy.

From the Paper
"The opening scene is one that serves not just to draw the viewer into the film in an entertaining way, but helps introduce the relationship and moods of the main characters' personalities. H.I. McDonnough, a small-town career criminal, played by actor Nicolas Cage, is arrested - again. Edwina, played by actress Holly Hunter, is taking H.I.'s mug shots. The scene in the police station shows H.I. stands against the line tape and we know that he is six feet tall, disheveled in his unbuttoned and colorful Hawaiian shirt, his thick mass of dark and uncontrollable manly chest hair showing above his Italian t-shirt line and he stares with a love-struck look at Edwina."

"The Crucible", 2008.
An analysis of the film "The Crucible" directed by Nicholas Hytner.
1,058 words (approx. 4.2 pages), 1 source, APA, $ 37.95
» Click here to show/hide summary

Abstract
This paper reviews the film "The Crucible", which is a retelling of the classic Arthur Miller play. The paper discusses how Hytner's version is skillfully filmed and acted and could therefore be considered an art film. The paper relates, however, that the film falls short on entertainment for many viewers because watching this film is sometimes boring and requires a high level of concentration.

From the Paper
"The film concerns Abigail Williams, a young girl living in Salem Massachusetts who becomes embroiled in the Salem Witch Trials of 1692. Abigail and some of her friends dance in the woods with Tituba, a black slave, and are accused of being witches. They confess they are "possessed," and begin to systematically accuse others in Salem of being witches or consorting with them. As the film progresses, the girl's accusations become more and more outlandish, and they become "possessed" in the courtroom as they accuse the people around them. Some of the people of Salem, like Rebecca Nurse, can see through the girls, but for the most part, the people are swept up in witch fever, content to believe the girls and their allegations."

'Breathless' and Technique, 2008.
This paper examines the movie "Breathless" directed by Jean-Luc Godard and looks at its message for society and the film technique used.
1,083 words (approx. 4.3 pages), 2 sources, MLA, $ 37.95
» Click here to show/hide summary

Abstract
In this article, the writer introduces and analyzes the film "Breathless" directed by Jean-Luc Godard. Specifically, the writer discusses a distinctive formal device from the film and details how that device is related to questions of state and government. The writer maintains that this film is really much more than the story of a petty thief who never seems to amount to anything. It is really a commentary on society and government of the time, from the rather inept investigators to the casual way society deals with death in the film. The writer notes that many film critics and experts believe Godard invented the jump cut technique with this film, and uses it quite effectively to question the state and government of the time. The writer concludes that Godard seems to be saying that if you flaunt society and its rules for long enough, it will come back to haunt you in the end.

From the Paper
"This could be a commentary about society at the time, as well. Society at the turn of the 1950s was becoming more open, looser, and it seems more unconcerned with rules and regulations. Children of the baby boomer generation (like the young girl Patricia played by Jean Seberg in the film), were rebelling against their parents and their uptight morals, and these two characters epitomize that rebellion. Michel is the ultimate rebel, who goes against society and yet wants to be accepted in society, and attempts to appear affluent by stealing and cheating others. He is ruthless and cunning, quite the opposite of the innocent Patricia, and this pits the two sides of society against each other in the film. It is clear that Patricia is basically honest, which Michel clearly is not. They make an incongruous couple, and that is another element of the film that Godard uses to criticize society. The jump cuts throughout the film also signify the great gap between the two characters, and how they will never really come together in a meaningful way; they are too far opposed from each other."

Violence in Film, 2008.
This paper discusses the issue of violence in film, concentrating on the film "Pulp Fiction" directed by Quentin Tarantino.
1,459 words (approx. 5.8 pages), 4 sources, MLA, $ 48.95
» Click here to show/hide summary

Abstract
In this article, the writer notes that to some members of the modern audience, the film 'Pulp Fiction' represents the worst aspects of modern culture and that the critical acclaim it received for its unabashed embrace of violence has led to an increasing amount of violence in films, up to and including the modern horror porn. The writer points out that others argue that the violence in 'Pulp Fiction', while disturbingly real, absolutely excessive, and not representative of daily life, serves a very important purpose. The writer maintains that rather than detracting from the plot, the violence in 'Pulp Fiction' is an essential part of the plot; without which, the movie simply would not exist. The writer concludes that by humanizing the character Marcellus, Tarantino makes a cogent argument for the fact that, as a society, Americans have dehumanized and marginalized a huge segment of people, simply because of their criminal behavior, and that this dehumanization is morally wrong.

From the Paper
"Like the other characters in the story, Butch's livelihood depends on violence. However, while Butch's life may have been violent, which is a prerequisite for a professional fighter, the film makes it clear that Butch has not previously been engaged in the type of criminal activity as the story's other leading characters. Therefore, when the audience is introduced to Butch, they see a washed-up has been who is willing to take a dive for money, but who is not entirely comfortable with having made that decision. What the audience does not know is that Butch has not actually decided to throw the fight, but is actually making his own plans to score big on the fight and escape with the money. Somehow knowing that Butch intends to cheat Marcellus, a crime boss, makes Butch seem virtuous in comparison. In addition, there is something underneath Butch's complacent and dopey exterior, and Tarantino uses violence to show the real Butch, who is actually a proud man with a lot of honor, even if his views of what is honorable do not coincide with society's views."

"Baraka", 2008.
A review of the 1992 film "Baraka" by Mark Fricke and Mark Magidson.
1,141 words (approx. 4.6 pages), 0 sources, APA, $ 39.95
» Click here to show/hide summary

Abstract
The paper discusses the film "Baraka", which stretches the boundaries of movie media and challenges viewers to develop a broader understanding of the human experience. "Baraka" is a plot-free film consisting simply of superb photography and cinematography. The paper comments that "Baraka" demonstrates that words are insufficient in conveying the sense of the sublime, and rather that visual art can suggest the intimate connections between human consciousness and the manifest universe. The paper concludes that humanity is not necessarily in conflict with nature even in starkly industrial settings.

From the Paper
"The traditional religions that rely heavily on nature for religious art and religious ritual especially form links between human consciousness and the divine. "Baraka" depicts the interfaces between humanity and nature; and between human religious expressions and nature too. Footage of Kenyan tribal ritual, for example, illustrates the formal ways human beings have cultivated respect for the world in which they live. Fricke juxtaposes such intimate human-nature connections with dysfunctional, unharmonious ones."

"Cinema Paradiso", 2008.
A review of the film 1988 "Cinema Paradiso" by Giuseppe Tornatore.
2,126 words (approx. 8.5 pages), 1 source, MLA, $ 66.95
» Click here to show/hide summary

Abstract
The paper discusses the film "Cinema Paradiso" and how it depicts a relationship between an old man who worked as projectionist in the local movie theater and the village boy he teaches about film and about life. The paper focuses on the expressive quality of Italian neo-realism and other influences on the boy. The paper looks at a touchstone film for particular film that is "The Bicycle Thief" by Vittorio De Sica.

From the Paper
"The film Cinema Paradiso (Giuseppe Tornatore, 1988) is clearly a paean to the motion picture as an art form, a shared social reality, an entertainment, and a means of personal expression. The film also details a human relationship between the old man who worked as projectionist in the local movie theater and the village boy he teaches about film and about life. The film is presented as a reminiscence, for the boy has become a famous movie director and returns to his home town when he hears of the death of the older man."

"Charlie and the Chocolate Factory", 2008.
A comparison of the book "Charlie and the Chocolate Factory" by Roald Dahl and the movie based on the book, retitled "Willie Wonka and the Chocolate Factory".

» Click here to show/hide summary

Abstract
The paper provides a separate review of the two versions of the story, the original book, "Charlie and the Chocolate Factory" and the movie version of this book, retitled "Willie Wonka and the Chocolate Factory". The paper compares the two versions of the story and shows how despite their differences, both stand as absolute pillars of children's entertainment.

From the Paper
"Roald Dahl famously complained that the first film version of his seminal work, Charlie and the Chocolate Factory was a corruption that neutered the sting of his parable. The book is simply drawn and was intended to be in the vein of the traditional cautionary tales. The story, centering on a clearly eccentric and out-of-the-mainstream adult, presents the reader with a simple idea - that if you pursue your passion with honor, integrity, and with a clear sense of purpose, you will be successful."

Psychology and 'Forrest Gump', 2008.
This paper studies the movie 'Forrest Gump' focusing on the psychology aspects of the film.
2,178 words (approx. 8.7 pages), 1 source, MLA, $ 67.95
» Click here to show/hide summary

Abstract
In this article, the writer introduces and analyzes the film 'Forrest Gump', directed by Robert Zemeckis. Specifically, the writer examines the character of Forrest Gump as it relates to human development and psychology. The writer notes that Forrest Gump's character in the film displays several characteristics of psychology, including emotion, naivete, adult development, limited IQ, behavior and adaptation. The writer points out that Forrest Gump also displays learning and conditioning and of course, personality and social and moral development. The writer concludes that psychologically, Forrest is simple-minded and has a low IQ, and yet, he seems more compassionate, caring, and innocent than just about any other adult could ever be.

From the Paper
"Forrest's innocence is like that of a child, which also helps make him more emotional than many adults even think of being. He wears his heart on his sleeve, and is never afraid to show someone how he feels, such as the time he sees Lt. Dan after the war, and is so incredibly happy to see him that he can hardly contain himself. Forrest is like that, he is not ashamed of his emotions and in that, he is like a child, always at wonder about the world around him, and not afraid to show it. This is another aspect of his psychology that is endearing and at odds with most adults. Forrest has the innocence and trust of a child, and so, he makes the audience look at their own cynicism and bitterness and question it. The character is deceptively simple, because in his simplicity and honesty he creates questions and wonder in the audience, and perhaps brings them to question their own emotions and innocence (or lack of it). He never sees the bad in a situation, only the good, and this makes him endearing, and someone to emulate, as well."

"The Colbert Report", 2008.
An analysis of the aspects of "The Colbert Report" that add to its success as a show.
2,751 words (approx. 11.0 pages), 6 sources, MLA, $ 82.95
» Click here to show/hide summary

Abstract
This paper discusses "The Colbert Report," a show that represent both a comment on the politics of the day and a satire on television itself, specifically on television news and television commentary. The paper shows the ways that "The Colbert Report" is successful. It discusses the show's structure, language use and semiotics and how these add to the overall success of the show.

From the Paper
"Colbert also creates his own semiotics in certain repeated actions that mark his show and identify his style for his admirers. When he crosses the stage to sit with a guest, he always does so as if he were a champion waving to the fans after a race, and while the attitude might be seen as echoing the way other interviewers regard themselves, no one else really does that sort of move at all. Colbert brings up the word of the day and speaks at length about the meaning he ascribes to it while someone off-camera puts up sarcastic answers to Colbert to one side of the frame, another way that Colbert plays both sides at once, offering a right-wing vision of the world in his speech while the off-camera entity takes a sarcastic view of Colbert's view. The audience immediately recognizes that the two sides of the screen are at war on one level but are creating a more meaningful dialogue on another level, one that both expresses the patriotic fervor of the Colbert persona while also expressing the view more likely held by the real Colbert. The text of the show thus manages the difficult task of balancing two opposites in a way that the audience recognizes even as each member of the audience participates by his or her act of recognition. The sign is taken in two ways, and that is precisely what is intended by Colbert and his writers."

Baseball and the Films, 2008.
Discusses the importance of baseball to America's culture as reflected in the films "The Rookie", "Field of Dreams" and "A League of their Own".
4,195 words (approx. 16.8 pages), 9 sources, MLA, $ 112.95
» Click here to show/hide summary

Abstract
The writer of this paper examines how the long held national sense of baseball as 'America's pastime' first came to be, and how and why this sense of baseball remains strongly with us today. The writer also describes how combined, implied social and political importance of baseball to the American psyche and realization of the "American Dream" is powerfully and vividly reflected in films like "The Rookie"; "Field of Dreams", and "A League of their Own".

From the Paper
"As this film convincingly conveys, especially through its portrayals of the various ups and downs, but ultimately the cohesive teamwork and shared integrity among the Peaches themselves, that playing baseball one's very best, whatever one's gender, can and does bring out the best in oneself and others. The teammates each grow stronger, wiser and more determined and confident through their struggles to be self-actualizing through baseball which for women back then was indeed to achieve the near impossible."

"The Texas Chainsaw Massacre", 2008.
An analysis of the public response to the film "The Texas Chainsaw Massacre", directed by Tobe Hooper.
1,101 words (approx. 4.4 pages), 4 sources, MLA, $ 38.95
» Click here to show/hide summary

Abstract
The paper provides a general review of all critical reviews of the film "The Texas Chainsaw Massacre" and shows how the vast majority of critics were positive about the film. The paper explains that "The Texas Chainsaw Massacre" is remarkable in its groundbreaking cinematography and the founding of the modern-day horror genre while providing an entertaining and subtle social critic of the haves and have-nots. The paper further explains that all of this is done with little to no actual graphic horror genre.

From the Paper
"The Texas Chainsaw Massacre is considered by many as being a groundbreaking film in the genre of American horror, being considered by some as one of the most influential films in the industry. The film was released on October 1, 1974 in Austin, Texas, near the location it was filmed. It went national as a Saturday matinee and was attended mostly by pre-teens and teenagers. However, this rather limited audience rapidly expanded into a broader audience due to a marketing scheme that involved marketing the film as being based on a true story. The audience further grew as the film took on an underground, cult-classic reputation based on word of mouth promotion."

"Texas Chainsaw Massacre", 2008.
A sociological analysis of the movie the "Texas Chainsaw Massacre".
1,242 words (approx. 5.0 pages), 3 sources, MLA, $ 42.95
» Click here to show/hide summary

Abstract
This paper discusses how Tobe Hooper's 1974 classic horror film entitled "Texas Chainsaw Massacre" has greatly affected (and continues to affect) the development of American culture. The paper contends that what makes this horror movie unique and thus sets it apart from other is its underlying political message. It looks at how in the film, as in Marx's writings, the reason the bourgeoisie is successful is because they are the owners of the technology, or means of production. In the film, this is symbolized by Sally being saved by an automobile, which also kills a member of the lower class family. In other words, the lower class is left with their simple tools of a saw and a knife, which in the end is no match to the high technology of the ruling class.

From the Paper
"The movie The Texas Chainsaw Massacre revolves around the general plot of a group of rich, young friends who go on a road trip to rural Texas. On the way, the group's van runs out of gas and they are forced to go to an old family friend's home for help. Here the group is attacked by a family of cannibalistic people, including the notorious chainsaw loving Leatherface. On their way the group picks up a hitchhiker who seems to be visibly sick from the heat and possibly crazy. However, the hitchhiker goes on to torment and violently threaten the group, so they leave him on the side of the road."

A discussion of the background and achievements of actor/director Clint Eastwood.
988 words (approx. 4.0 pages), 3 sources, MLA, $ 35.95
» Click here to show/hide summary

Abstract
This paper introduces, discusses and analyzes the achievements of actor/director Clint Eastwood. Specifically, it discusses his work as a director and producer of motion pictures. The paper looks at the history of his career as an actor in westerns, action dramas and even some comedies. It then looks briefly at his directing and producing of some of the most poplar films of all time, such as "Unforgiven," "Million Dollar Baby," "Flags of Our Fathers" and "Letters from Iwo Jima."

From the Paper
"In addition, many of Eastwood's films have become cultural icons, giving identity and meaning to historic and important occasions. "Unforgiven" is an unforgiving look at the last days of the Old West, while "Flags of Our Fathers" shares an intimate moment in American history, introducing the men behind the famous photograph of Iwo Jima. Even more stylistic is "Letters from Iwo Jima," a look at the war though the eyes of the Japanese soldiers who fought and died on the island, and told entirely through subtitles (a risky move even today for most theater audiences). These films offer Americans a glimpse into their own varied cultural identity, and they are much more than entertainment venues, they teach, raise emotions, and even give glimpses into history that most people would never get to experience."

Conclusion

From the Paper
"In regards to some average statistics, feature films have first run releases of approximately 8 weeks. During this 8-week period, usually between 1000 and 2700 screens are garnered, and the films earn approximately $10 to $40 million in box office revenue. There are approximately 16 new major studio release films introduced each month into the theatrical marketplace, on an average of about 1650 screens. On average, most major feature films are able to demonstrate box office revenues of at least $30 million, particularly once all media and territories have been covered. Furthermore, many feature films are able to generate at least $30 million within 14 weeks of release into theaters."

"Stolen Lives", 2008.
This paper examines the cinematic elements in Malika Oufkir's memoir "Stolen Lives".
998 words (approx. 4.0 pages), 3 sources, MLA, $ 35.95
» Click here to show/hide summary

Abstract
The paper describes the story of Malika Oufkir's life as recounted in her memoir "Stolen Lives" and shows how Malika's childish desire to become a glamorous actress sustained her through the ordeal she suffered. The paper maintains that, despite its subjective nature, the book is a compelling portrait of political imprisonment and injustice that took away the best years of a young woman's life. The paper concludes that as recent events have brought the question of the rights of the politically imprisoned to the forefront of our own national consciousness, "Stolen Lives" is a worthy dramatization of the issue.

From the Paper
"The story of Malika Oufkir's life rivals that of the made-up tale of the supposed surviving princess and daughter of the last czar, Anastasia. Only Oufkir's memoir is nonfiction, and perhaps more worthy of cinema. "Although Stolen Lives would be a smashing good tale if it were fiction, it is all the more compelling since it is true," wrote one reviewer (Sherrer, 2001). Imagine this beginning of a film. A young girl, selected by the capricious hand of fate, is given the honor of becoming the adopted daughter of the King of Morocco, King Muhammad V and is sent away at the age of five from her parents to be raised with the king's daughter as the girl's companion in a harem. The girl has been taken away from all that is familiar, but she lives a charmed life of luxury. When she is a teenager, she is sent back to live with her parents, her usefulness exhausted to the royal family. She must get to know her parents and siblings again, for they are now strangers."
