Dr. Strangelove or: How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love the Bomb is a movie in 1964 directed by Stanley Kubrick, released at the height of the Cold War, just over a year after the Cuban missile crisis as an anti-militarist satire on the military programs of the US government at that time, and the arms race as a whole. Starring Peter Sellers and George C. Scott. Despite the fact that Peter Sellers played three roles, I was most attracted by what George C. Scott does with his face. His execution is the most entertaining thing in the film. I ended up giving careful consideration to the tics and jerks, the scowls and eyebrow angling, the harsh grins and gum-biting, and I delighted in the way Scott drew nearer the part as a two part harmony for voice and outward appearance. That can be risky for an on-screen character. Chiefs frequently request that performing artists underplay closer shots, in light of the fact that an excess of facial development deciphers into robbing or exaggerating. Kubrick, whose thoughtfulness regarding the littlest subtle element in each edge was …show more content…

His face here is so plastic and portable it reminds you Jim Carrey (in totally various types of films). Yet you don't intentionally see his demeanors in light of the fact that Scott offers them with the vitality and conviction of his execution. He implies what he says as much direly that the expressions go with his dialog as opposed to diverting from it. Consider the scene where his character, Buck Turgidson, is educating the president that it is very likely a B-52 aircraft will have the capacity to fly under Russian radar and convey its payload despite the fact that the whole Soviet flying corps knows where the plane is going. "He can barrel in that child so low!" Scott says, with his arms spread wide like wings, and his head shaking in appreciation at how great his pilots are- - so great one of them is going to convey a conclusion to human

    In almost all films and novels of any genre, evil does not and cannot triumph. This is the case in both “Jekyll and Hyde” and “The Shining” wherein evil is represented as a force that ultimately causes its own demise. Both antagonists commit suicide due to being overcome by their better nature. In “The Shining” Jack Torrance is on the verge of murdering his son, until “the face in front of him changed” and “the mallet began to rise and descend, destroying the last of Jack Torrance’s image”. This suggests that violent people meet violent ends.

    The movie “One flew over the cuckoo’s nest” gives an inside look into the life of a patient living in a mental institution; helping to give a new definition of mental illnesses. From a medical standpoint, determinants of mental illness are considered to be internal; physically and in the mind, while they are seen as external; in the environment or the person’s social situation, from a sociological perspective (Stockton, 2014). Additionally, the movie also explores the idea of power relations that exist between an authorized person (Nurse Ratched) and a patient and further looks into the punishment a deviant actor receives (ie. McMurphy contesting Nurse Ratched). One of the sociological themes that I have observed is conformity.

    In Terrance Hayes’s poem “Mr. T-,” the speaker presents the actor Laurence Tureaud, also known as Mr. T, as a sellout and an unfavorable role model for the African American youth for constantly playing negative, stereotypical roles for a black man in order to achieve success in Hollywood.   The speaker also characterizes Mr. T as enormous and simple-minded with a demeanor similar to an animal’s to further his mockery of Mr. T’s career. The speaker begins his commentary on the actor’s career by suggesting that The A-Team, the show Mr. T stars in, is racist by mentioning how he is “Sometimes drugged / & duffled (by white men) in a cockpit,” which seems to draw illusions to white men capturing and transporting slaves to new territories during the time of the slave trade (4-5).

    In the film adaptation of the novel, Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy by Douglas Adams, some of the original aspects that make the novel so timeless are not included in the movie. However, due to the vastly different medium that film is and the abstractness of the novel, it makes sense why some things would have to change in order for the story to transfer to the screen successfully. While many die-hard fans of the novel denounce the film version of their beloved story, others celebrate the presence of Adams’ wit in the movie especially through the cartoon representations of the guide entries. First of all, the Hitchhiker’s Guide is pictured much differently in the movie than in the novel.
