197 Words1 Page

What does it mean to be human? Can consciousness be created or is it inherent? Does a machine have rights if it can think for itself? These are some of the questions that Ex Machina poses. The film then tries not to answer the questions, but give people a perspective on a situation.

    Blade runner 2049 review and sequels in Hollywood A cathartic monologue pairs well with an unrelenting downpour, while nothing beats a genial powdering of snow for finally hanging loose and making peace with the bullet hole in your gut.1Both work as resolution, just shades apart. When a Londoner wants to project pathos onto a cityscape he adds rains, a Montréalais adds snow. Blade runner 2049 revisits the city of Ridley Scott 's 1982 Original, just paints it with a different palate. The Los Angeles 2049 is indeed a colder place.

    Throughout life we are told to express our individuality and swim against the stream of the general population to put emphasis on the characteristics that make us, in short, individuals. Cherishing what makes an individual special and different is what establishes roots in creativity and self expression, however there is a forced false sense of comradery in today’s society that takes the form of involvement with the masses; peer pressure forces many people to fall into the mold of an average character. The Academy award winning film, “The Incredibles” displays the themes of expressing one’s true self and special qualities, and in contrast repression by society to fit a basic mold. These themes are elaborated on through the development of the main characters and expressed further through the supporting roles and their dialogue and endeavors.

    Damien Chazelle’s American musical film, La La Land (2016), with Director of Photography Linus Sandgren, won about six awards at the Oscars. One of the awards they received is in the Cinematography category. I personally agree with this voting because this beautifully-made film shows, not tells, the story. In the beginning of the film, the viewers see the story from Mia’s point of view, but the story later goes back and switches to Sebastian’s point of view.
