In an interview with Mohamad Ramadan about his movie, Mohamad Ramadan said that the goal of the movie was to show the real picture about local regions in Egypt. And also to show that such kinds of business and actions that was done by Abdo are bad and not ethical and definitely will leads to a worst ending. There is no doubt that "Al Sobki Production" is a company that seeks money. All parties concerned in film making are feeling satisfied of this kind of movies because they are gaining millions of dollars through it. Average viewers are interested in a brave character, a crazy song, belly dancer, and action scenes. That 's why new Egyptian movies are gaining a very high profit, people waits for new releases, DVD shops are full of them, social media and magazines are telling us about every single detail about this issue.

Making such movies for teaching the audience to be angels and never think of doing these actions maybe it can apply on special kind of audience who analyze every scene and search for the message, and not on average people who search in movies for action and violence, and average people are the largest proportion of the theatres seats. The normalization in that is very clear, that the movie hero or character became a hero because of bullying, hitting others, controlling by control as if we are leaving in a forest, so the viewer can do the same things and he will be a hero like the once in the movie. Such movies are showing us that our society is a forest so you should be bad to control and to get
This investigation will focus on the question: ‘To what extent does the movie “Sacco and Vanzetti” (by Giuliano Montaldo, 1971) portray what happened in the trial?’ The investigation focuses on the case of the two men (Nicola Sacco and Bartolomeo Vanzetti) and the events that eventually led to their executions, which took place in 1927. It also looks at the racism towards immigrants in the United States in the 1920s; additionally it will look at the aftermath of the executions.

I find that nowadays, filmmakers are taking bigger risks than in the past. They’re becoming bolder, and impressing a group’s beliefs onto their audiences. While more extreme cases are often semi-biographical, they are typical more violent. Dallas Buyers Club is an example of that. Fictional stories are also prone to violence and radical acts of social issues and violence, for example,
This shows that they could not tell that Changez was joking and are really frightened by the idea of a Muslim dictator. Riz Ahmed was the lead in this film and he said that he chose this role because it ‘smashes’ the assumptions (7) that the public had on Muslims after 9/11. [PROJECTOR: QUOTES Riz Ahmed acting stereotypes] This is useful because Riz only works on projects that he believes in, proving that he thinks the Americans acted ‘arrogantly’ with Muslims after
The following line from The Florida Project best sums up the film: “You know why this is my favourite tree? Cause it’s tipped over and it’s still growing.” Spoken by Moonee while eating jelly sandwiches with Jancey on the trunk of a lush, collapsed tree, the line draws a perfect similarity between the fallen tree’s continued growth and the motel residents’ efforts to trudge through poverty despite their representations in society. Sean Baker’s The Florida Project depicts Moonee, a six-year old living at the Magic Castle (a dilapidated motel just outside Walt Disney World) with her unemployed mother Halley.
Though they are friends, the lives of Pedro Machuca and Gonzalo Infante differ drastically in many aspects including family life, the luxuries they can afford, and the political affiliations chosen by their families. All of which relate to the common everyday life of Chilean citizens during the Allende Presidency, and the Pinochet Dictatorship implemented after the coup d'etat. During this time, the civil unrest never ceased, and life for chileans was generally either good or bad based on social status, income, and party affiliation. Both Machuca and Infante are classic examples of the division inequality of life amongst Chileans, with Machuca being a poor boy who lived in a shanty town, having very little education, and owning very few possessions. Where as Infante is wealthy, has a high end private education, and can afford to buy various luxury items such as brand name shoes and food for his family.
The Iranian Hostage Crisis began on November 4th 1979 when a group of Iranian students and militants stormed the US embassy in Tehran, taking 90 people hostage including 66 Americans. 6 American’s however were able to escape. The film Argo produced in 2012 by Ben Affleck follows the story of these 6 American diplomats who sought refuge in the Canadian Embassy and used a Hollywood cover film, Argo, to flee Iran. Argo was a success, winning 3 Oscar’s and 2 Golden Globe’s, however from many Iranian’s perspectives, the film was a multitude of inaccuracies. It over-exaggerated the Iranian motives, excluded and distorted important Iranian historical events and portrayed the heroism of the CIA and the US government through neglecting major intelligence
I chose to rewatch a film for my observation. The film I watched was “Fight Club”. This film is an example of the complete opposite of US cultural values. It focuses on destroying material comfort and individuality. The narrator who was once a man driven by material possessions is completely changed by Tyler Durden a man who is fuelled by chaos.
At some point of your life you meet very special people that carry very similar interests. This creates bonds that can be a very powerful and important part of your life. Some may say that bonds are created between a series of negative events that leads up to friendship.

Film or TV violence portrayals will always influence the habits of individuals in the real world. Psychological theorists indicate that the film portrayals affect the mental state of the audience, who imitate the happenings in the movies. For instance, according to John Locke’s “Blank State’s theory,” humans behave according to the present happenings in their environments (Gregoriou & Papastephanou, 2013). He states that the environmental experiences are transcribed into a person’s mind to learn what he or she sees in the movies. It is also apparent that film portrayals may influence real world aggression due to the cognitive state of the audience’s mind in which they perceive the film’s happenings as the correct things to perform (Gregoriou
Baz Luhrmann’s films are known their ability to make a watcher feel as if they are part of the show. Between his use of camera angles, shots and the use of a narrator, it’s no wonder he is able to keep viewers on the edge of their seat. But how does Baz Luhrmann pull off this spectacular feat of his? This is probably explained best by referring to Baz Luhrmann’s films and how he himself has evolved as a director.
