Compare And Contrast The Day I Became A Woman

175 Words1 Page

The Iranian classic film, “The Day I Became a Woman”, directed by Marziyeh Meshing, released in the year of 2000, is a three part allegory that conveys the yearning of women at three different stages of their lives, a girl who is on the edge of adolescence, a wife determined not to be ruled by her husband, and a wealthy old woman who wants to gain and buy the things that she never had. On the other hand, Thelma and Louise, directed by Ridley Scott, is a 1991 American crime film starring Geena Davis as Thelma and Susan Sarandon as Louise, two friends who plan to go on a road trip, away from their husbands, with disastrous consequences. Although the two films seem very different from each other and they have been produced in two extremely different

  • Handmaid's Tale Book Vs Movie

    1088 Words  | 5 Pages

    The phrase “the book is always better than the movie” is true for every book-to-film adaption. Certain aspects and details are always left out of the film versions due to factors like money, resources and equipment, and time. Directors cut certain subplots to keep movies “watchable” so that they gain a large profit from moviegoers. Some facets of what determines the watchability of a film is youth, sex or sex appeal, and a thrilling or mysterious plot. Margaret Atwood’s The Handmaid’s Tale is another victim of Hollywood’s dramatization appeal.

  • 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.

    ‘Two Days, One Night’ is a deep investigation of human values that slowly transcends into a genre of its own. The Dardenne brothers - known for depicting hard-hitting social values with a realist aesthetic - have written and directed another richly textured film with thick emotional layers to unveil the superficiality of community relationships. Jean-Pierre and Luc Dardenne, through their writing, slow cook the proceedings of this social drama with a stark alacrity that simmers the audience in anticipation.

  • Compare And Contrast The New Women In The 1910s And The 1920s

    109 Words  | 1 Pages

    The New Women in the 1910s and the 1920s did not have much of a life, other than take care or their family. They could not work and they could not try and support their family. The purpose about the 21st amendment was to give the women the freedom to work, not be forced to work. I picked this photo because I feel as the men are making fun of the women because they never do anything they take care of their family. Which they cannot do anything, but that because the men did not want to women to work and take over some jobs; that they could have.

  • City Girl Analysis

    1566 Words  | 7 Pages

    F.W. Murnau’s City Girl is a masterclass in creating and contrasting different worlds within a film. The film is set both in the city and the country, and Murnau expertly weaves between the settings, teaching the audience about both places in relation to the other. Once Lem and Kate make it to his parent’s farm, City Girl also creates a world within the farm for the couple, distinct from farm life. Overall, F.W. Murnau uses a restrained yet expressionistic mise-en-scene and comparison-focused editing to create a lover’s paradise separate from the reality of the struggles of the farm. F.W. Murnau uses a restrained yet boundless mise-en-scene to create a romantic space within the wheat fields for Lem and Kate’s return to the farm.

  • Theme Of Feminism In Thelma And Louise

    1000 Words  | 4 Pages

    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.

  • Howard Hawks's Use Of Mise-En-Scene In The Film His Girl Friday

    2216 Words  | 9 Pages

    Howard Hawks’s well-known film His Girl Friday (1940) is a screwball comedy that is centred around Hildy Johnson (Rosalind Russell) and her ex-husband Walter Burns (Cary Grant). A remake of the 1931 film The Front Page, Hawks made the decision to change the protagonist of Hildy from a male to a female, and have her be Walter’s ex-wife as well as employee. By doing so, Hawks created a new dynamic within the film – that of a romantic comedy –, which creates an interesting subplot, with some of our questions about their relationship being answered immediately, and others being left unanswered. The sequence I chose to study is from when Earl climbs into the press room where Hildy is, until the two journalists enter. In this essay, I will explore

  • A Perfect Murder Analysis

    This essay compares and contrasts two films, “Dial M for Murder” and its remake “A Perfect Murder” in order to analyse how these films depict the main female characters Margo and Emily. The paper especially focuses on the remake’s intention to present a modern version of women or wives, by looking at the changes in characters, settings and the use of phone as a medium. Firstly, “A Perfect Murder” makes several changes to the original characters in an attempt to revise the traditional gender roles. Although Margo from “Dial M for Murder” and Emily from “A Perfect Murder” are apparently similar in that they are both beautiful and wealthy blondes, Emily is portrayed as with more of a brain in the beginning of the film.
