The movie Babel was released on October 27, 2006 in New York City. The director of the movie is Alejandro González Iñárritu, he is a Mexican film director, producer, screenwriter, and composer. Babel was nominated for Best Picture and Best Director in the 2007 Academy Awards, and they got the Academy Award for Best Original Music Score. The movie tells a story about an accident that connects four different groups of people. It takes place on three different continents, Japan, America and Africa. A Moroccan family, a vacationing American couple in Morocco played by Brad Pitt and Cate Blanchett, a mute Japanese teenager and her father, and the Mexican nanny who is in charge of the kids of the American couple. These stories are linked to each other in varying ways, but are also still four independent stories, which makes it a very interesting movie. Consequently, the movie Babel shows the viewer that without communication it is almost impossible to trust people from other cultures and not fall back on prejudices. The title of the movie is Babel, Iñárritu did not choose this by accident, and he likely named his movie after the bible story about the tower of Babel.

  • A League Of Their Own Film Analysis

    995 Words  | 4 Pages

    The film I am analyzing, A League of Their Own, would be categorized as a narrative film about the growth of women’s baseball teams during World War II. It follows the dramatized story of Dottie Hinson’s time in her baseball league and their struggles to make women’s baseball be taken seriously; however, the film focuses more on Dottie’s personal goals and relationships. With the added personal challenge of Dottie’s increasing rivalry with her sibling, Kit, as well as the uncaring attitude of their manager, Jimmy Dugan, Dottie’s tale is filled with tension and emotion that is shaped to draw the audience in. To showcase the drama of the film and to help the audience become attached to the stories of the characters, the movie uses flashbacks, comedy, and interpersonal drama to manufacture the story of our main character, Dottie, more interesting and engaging to the audience. As is easily evident simply by the summary of the movie, A League of Their Own is a nonfiction, narrative film made for entertainment and drama, and uses the time period as the circumstances of the story relevant to the audience.

    The film 13th directed by Ava DuVernay targets an intended audience of the Media and the three branches of the United States government with an emphasis that mass incarceration is an extension of slavery. It is intended to inform viewers about the criminalization of African Americans and the United States prison boom. 13th uses rhetorical devices in its claim to persuade the viewers by using exemplum in the opening seconds of the film. President Barack Obama presents statistics, saying “the United States is home to 5% of the world’s population but is home to 25% of the world’s prisoners.” Also the film uses a hyperbole in talking about the movie Birth of a Nation produced in 1915 which portrays a black man as a violent savage who will kill white women.

    Film Comparisons: Same cinematography, Matured Purposes As you can see, once the director’s general objectives have been put side by side, it becomes clear that there is a relationship. The most apparent connection would obviously be the books because the plot lines are continuous and intertwine. However, it seems that their influence may artistically be overlooked and is interesting to see how the same cinematic element can be used for opposing purposes.
