  • Dolores Del Rio Film Analysis

    1811 Words  | 8 Pages

    During the 1920s and 1930s, it was not uncommon for directors to assign roles that were inconsistent with del Rio’s Latinx identity. Exotic storylines often told the common stories that are reminiscent of the colonization of countries inhabited by people of color. Although these films exemplified her “foreignness” to American culture, none portrayed del Rio as more “exotic” as when she starred in Bird of Paradise, a romantic drama directed by King Vidor (1932), as the “savage princess, Luana” (18). The Bird of Paradise portrays a native princess, Luana, who meets Johnny Baker, a South Seas American man who jumps in a ship and arrives on her island before the two fall in love with each other. Described as having an “alien beauty [that] fits in so effectively with her role” by the New York Herald Tribune, Dolores del Rio is represented as a “foreign” woman who is saved by a white man in the film and is ultimately viewed as the “white [male] hero’s desire” (18).

  • Spike Lee's Auteur Theory

    416 Words  | 2 Pages

    Auteur theory is an important mode of film criticism that indicates the extent of the director’s involvement in the final output of the film. As it has been previously mentioned, Spike Lee’s films express certain notions about race that emerge from his personal viewpoint as well as from his political and aesthetic beliefs. The focal point of this chapter is the auteur theory and its relativity to Spike Lee. In order to prove the connection between the theory and his works, it is necessary to refer to Lee’s biography, since both his background and distinguishable personality have contributed to his technical skills as well as to his unique style as a film director. The particular chapter will also include the synopsis as well as the technical analysis of each film correspondingly.

  • Selena Movie Analysis

    149 Words  | 1 Pages

    It can be argued that from the start the film Selena gives the audience the wrong impression that Selena reached the pinnacle of her career when she successfully obtained an English- language crossover status. That is because the film opens with a scene of Selena singing in English to a sold-out concert at the Houston Astrodome which is meant to show “Selena’s career pinnacle” (Vargas 2006). Thus, the viewer’s initial impression of Selena is that Selena became successful only once she succeeded in the American music industry. However, if one were to look at the story of Selena from when she first debuted as a singer one would be able to see that is the not the case.

  • Importance Of Auteur Theory

    2424 Words  | 10 Pages

    The Auteur Theory-Intro Part Considering the collaborative process of filmmaking, especially nowadays in most film production, the concept of there being a singular creative supervisor is debatable. Nonetheless one cannot deny the existence of directional motifs and instances of thematic and stylistic elements within the work of filmmakers like Tim Burton and Alfred Hitchcock. These directors indicate that within traditions and genres lies the overall definition of an auteur: a director whose inventive traits are listed throughout his/her work like a signature. Auteurism rose to the surface in the 1950s French New Wave criticism as an appraisal of Hollywood directors who were ready to avoid the rules of the studio system and create films that were distinctively their own.
