The movies need to have the backing of businesses, which means profit return plays a huge role in the artistic and even historical facts that the biopics present. In Ian Inglis piece on Popular music history on screen: the pop/rock biopic, he defines pop/rock biopics as “a film which purports to tell, in part or in full, the biography of a music performer and which contains a significant amount of his or her music” (77). The word biography suggests a kind of objective, even historical approach to the production of biopics. However, all form of history is reproduce and rearrange in a way that allows no room for true objectivity.
The extreme nature of cult films, from their strange plots, characters, and aesthetics grabs the attention of the audience, which allows directors to make profound subtle statements. For example, in “Run Lola Run”, Lola’s iconic bright red hair steals the show, even though the film repeatedly comments on the lack of determinism in human life. Cult films are films that must be watched at least twice; their strange nature
The first social function of art is when artists create places for some human purpose. Some reasons are for memories, others are for just sitting around and talking. A big thing that all artists create this with is the intention for people to gather at them and bring people closer together. One example is Stonehenge, which they think was created for a community gathering for that community to perform rituals. People in my generation may not know what Stonehenge is, but most of us through family members or either visiting it will know of the Vietnam Veterans Memorial.

While watching Basquiat, it was fairly difficult to put into words what the genera of the film was. It wasn’t a biography or a documentary, but it also used many facts about Jean Michel’s life. After some deliberation, I would call it a biographical narrative. It tells the story of Basquiat, which is the biographical component, but it also displays that information as more of a story than a biography. This seems like a completely fair interpretation and I am sure Julian Schnabel would agree with my description.
This purpose of the filmmaker is clearly visible in the 77th Academic Award winning
“The only thing you sometimes have control over is perspective. You don't have control over your situation. But you have a choice about how you view it” (Pine, n.d.). This quote by Chris Pine (n.d.) speaks to how one controls how they react put into a situation.
As you can see ladies and gentlemen, the presentation of events, lighting, sound mis en scene, chiascuro lighting and cinematic techniques were all more formative in the essence of the narrative, rather than the story itself. “Mr Kane was a man who had lost everything he had”. Ladies and gentlemen of the board of studies as you know I’m here to promote to you how important and appropriate Citizen Kane is as a core text.

Citizen Kane by Orson Welles is a cinematic classic, released in 1941. Citizen Kane challenged traditional narrative and technical elements of classic Hollywood cinema. Kane was narrated by several people that include their take on Kane’s life. The story unfolds by many flashbacks and is told by different perspectives over the years through different narrations. Charles Foster Kane was a millionaire, head of newspapers and died saying “rosebud”.
They shared how disciplined he was when he portrayed Mr. Spock, and how he even brought his character home. The film was the perfect tribute to Leonard, making this film a box of paraphernalia filled with snippets of scenes from Star Trek and other projects that Leonard acted in, photos of everyone that surrounded him, and interviews that were heartwarming and admiring by the people who knew him and saw him as an artist, not just an actor. Although he was an entertainment lawyer, Adam was artistic when he filmed the documentary. He created a nostalgic film that made his father an icon to pop culture, especially in the realm of science fiction. The film revealed how Leonard Nimoy portrayed his characters in a way that captured the hearts of his fans, only because he made his character relatable.
Two films, although created years apart yet have a lot in common, including their content of it’s narrative techniques. Both films, even though black and white with strokes of genius of cinema offer a vast stretch for study. I will be looking at Sir Orson Welles “Citizen Kane” (1941) and Akira Kurosawa’s “Rashomon” (1950). We see in Citizen Kane he values for the American life.
