Clover's Ideology In Clasher Movies

Perras is a Mexican drama film directed by Guillermo Díaz on 2011. It’s based on a play with the same name.

As expected of the femme fatale character, Evelyn uses her feminine advantage to lure Jake onto her side. The two become close, both emotionally and physically, but an overwhelming atmosphere of secrecy remains between them. Evelyn refuses to allow Jake past her outermost defensive layers because she knows that at the heart of the matter lies an unimaginable reality. The film offers a subtle glimpse into her psyche during a conversation concerning the relationship between her husband and her father, Mr. Cross [00:58:22]. The facade of icy domination shatters at the mention of her father’s name. In a dramatic twist near the end of the film, Evelyn reveals that her husband’s mistress is a product of incest. Catherine, the woman she has gone to such great lengths to hide from Jake, is both her sister and her daughter. This revelation flips the narrative on its head. Suspicion turns to sympathy as we come to see her as a painfully vulnerable victim. Topics of this nature were never approached in traditional film noir cinema: “we see the film

In this essay, I am going to analysis the film named “Cloverfield”, which was released on 18th January 2008 in North America. I will talk about the genre, key scenes, media institution, other media company, film marketing, marketing mix, media technology, audience, digital platforms, convergence and regulation.

The American people prefer to live together, but they also love individualism. This paper looks at how Robert Ray explores enduring people’s thoughts about society and how to balance community and the individual. Ray’s model was designed to use as a guide in Hollywood movies. Ray combined academic study from history to look at scholarship, and psychology as well; he didn’t end there, but he equally explained how written works have repeatedly been used in worldviews about the community behavior in trying to avoid breaking the law or to weaken the American film industry. Ray’s “The Thematic Paradigm” considered persistence in approach which has been used in the worldviews and tradition as the two reasons why the American people have not avoided

The director makes the argument that unorthodox behavior is worse than murder to portray that unorthodoxy threatens more than the life of one person. Unorthodoxy is so dangerous for the reason that it threatens the whole society, it strikes at society itself (pg.148).

Karen Hollinger is a professor of English at Atlantic University, an author and is also a very strong feminist. Hollinger’s essay, “The Monster as Woman: Two Generations of Cat People,” is an essay merely expressing how most monsters in novels or films are characterized as masculine identities and that viewers forget how powerful feminine identities in novels and films can be. Hollinger’s goal in this essay is to explain that feminine monsters are just as frightening all masculine monsters. She uses many references to movies with feminine monsters and expresses how powerful they are compared to masculine monsters and also expresses that males and females have castration anxieties. I think Hollinger succeeded in a sophisticated way because she

“One in five women will be a victim of rape or attempted rape in her lifetime” (23). Gabriel Garcia Marquez wrote Chronicle of a Death Foretold. The book takes place in the 1950s in a small Columbian town. The book is a murder mystery and describes the murder of Santiago Nasar. Pedro and Pablo end up killing Santiago because he is accused of taking Angela’s virginity before she is married. Santiago was not aware that he was going to be murdered because he did not commit a crime. This murder cannot be stopped because it is fate. This society believes that virginity is more important than someone’s life and will kill for it to be ‘restored’. Women are raised to be servable and were forced into marriages. In Chronicle of a Death Foretold by Gabriel Garcia Marquez, the author illustrates how women are looked down upon society and are considered objects, causing them to feel inferior or used, to show the cultural expectation of machismo and superiority that men portray in the book.

“The Dressmaker” has many similar elements and features to spaghetti westerns. How has the director used the style to engage a modern audience?

The Maltese Falcon is a film noir directed by John Huston. The film is based on the novel by Dashiell Hammett of the same name. The film was made and distributed by Warner Bros. and was released in October 1941. In this film, detective Sam Spade, played by Humphrey Bogart, takes on a case from the beautiful but deceptive Miss Wonderly, played by Mary Astor. That night, Spade’s partner, Archer, is killed while following Mr. Thursby, who is also killed. It is revealed that Miss Wonderly’s real name is Brigit O’Shaughnessy and that she had been working with Thursby. Spade is approached by Mr. Gutman, played

Ridley Scott’s ‘female buddy movie’ Thelma and Louise centres around issues of male dominance and the freedom of release from society. Thelma (Geena Davis) and Louise (Susan Sarandon) are women suppressed by the men in their lives. They take a vacation to escape for a few days and after an attempted rape and murder they end up fugitives on the run for their lives. This unintended event ends up being for them the best adventure of their lives, as they are able to divest from the rules of society and become the independent women they are. By subverting the traditional role of gender in the genre, the film shows how feminism impacted the film industry by challenging Hollywood and the gendered myths and social patriarchy, providing women with a voice, and changing how spectators view how women are looked at through women’s eyes and their experiences.

The best thing I know is to do exactly what you wish for a while (Roman Holiday):

Can there be any good if there is no evil? No. Similarly enough, can there be a hero if there is no anti-hero? These anti-heroes, or villains, are one of the many examples used in almost any piece of fiction. These examples are also known as archetypes. Archetypes are a group of categories that are used to show a typical kind of character in a story. Each archetype has certain qualities a character must have in order to embody the archetype. The shadow, for instance, is the archetype of the typical villain. The shadow is a critical archetype for any story, especially in the myth of Demeter and Persephone, the story of Oiwa, as well as the movie Scream 4.

In “Our Zombies, Ourselves” author James Parker speaks to moviegoers and monster fans about that slow-moving creature of horror known as the zombie. In the essay, he attempts to uncover the reason for the zombie’s sudden and extreme popularity. To do such a thing he unearths the history of the zombies in film, literature, video games, and other media, and he sheds some light on their real origins – which all lead him to the conclusion that zombies are popular because of their “ex-personhood” (345). Throughout the essay Parker uses analytic language peppered with metaphors, description, and colorful references to some of the latest and greatest depictions of zombies, which help to bring the essay and the monsters to life and keep the audience’s interest.

The Cultural Influences in Japanese Horror Film and Its American Remake (A case study of Ju-On: The Grudge (2002) and The Grudge (2004))

12 Angry Men, although produced in the late fifties still offers a great slate for any viewer. The special effects and quality can easily be guessed by the black and white silhouettes of the film. The intensifying conflict of this film easily overshadows the lacking up to date criteria expected from a film. Many viewers expect a well-developed plot and characters with an accompanying use of special effects and coherent scenes. This courthouse drama has assigned twelve men to juror duty which will make this murder case mystifying by involving the viewers in the underlying theme of prejudice in the film. Although, the film lacks in special effects and up to date quality, the extensive details included in the dialogue make it come to life. The
