Artifact: Captain America: Civil War (2016) Importance of Artifact: This artifact is important because it displays one individual’s courage and integrity to stand for what they believe is right. Captain America has always been a symbol of American rebellion and freedom since his conception in the original comic books. This theme is still alive today in this modern adaptation of his story in the 2016 film when he refuses to sign the Sokovia Accords (peace treaty agreement), a legal document that gives the United Nations control over the Avengers, even if it means fighting his friends. Genre: Superhero science fiction film, thriller (war movie) Similar Artifacts:
Van Alen meticulously set the aesthetic of the design to commend Chrysler’s successful automobile business and the machine age of the ‘20s. Iconic eagle gargoyles modeled after the Plymouth automotive head ornament decorate the top of the building, and the corners are adorned with what looks like to be Chrysler radiator caps. Once inside, one can look up and see Van Alen’s tribute to the workers that constructed the building as well as the booming age of flight of the ‘20s. The ceiling is coated in murals that depict men laying bricks down by hand as well as multiple airplanes flying across the country. To this day those murals remind anyone who steps foot in the building of the technical progress in the 1920s.
With over seven billion people on the planet, it is challenging to believe that I am unique. Rather, it 'd be egotistical to claim that I, and I alone, have this one distinctive, singular something to contribute to the Michigan State community. That said, however, I do believe that I have qualities that would further enrich and diversify Michigan State 's campus life. To take from the famous quote from "The Incredibles," if everybody is special, then, effectively, no one is. The question of what would "add to the overall richness of campus" life becomes complicated, considering that.
Sequel fatigue is a popular condition, for years now the highest grossing films have been either sequels or franchises, and the elitist spits out the word Hollywood as a metonymy for all that is wrong with the artless entertainment industry. They have point: Hollywood is an industry and the bloated gatekeepers are fiducially bound not artistically. Their primary concern is what sells, and that makes them rather conservative, banking on things that resemble things that sold before, hence the glut of sequels and franchises, but also more insidiously the torrent of passable “safe” films: demographic pandering by the numbers, relying on formula and cliché. These films can still be well crafted like Marvel3 instalment Guardians of the Galaxy Vol.

Guardians of the Galaxy is a Marvel team super hero film. Nonetheless, it is controversial to the audience whether it fits the sub-genre of a team-up film such as The Avengers. Due to the characters, none of them have their individual movie like Iron Man. However, James Gunn uses points of view and actor’s acting to enhance the intimacy among the characters that makes this movie fits into the team super hero film genre. In addition, Gunn uses makeups to not make any of the roles too standout because they all have unique appearances that balance out on screen.
Remember the time when Joss Whedon allegedly claimed that the resurrection of Phil Coulson may have taken "some punch out of" the Avengers? It appears that the comments made by the executive producer of Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. have been taken out of context and he 's actually happy to bring Clark Gregg 's character back to life. During a recent interview with the Oxford Union, Whedon spoke up about the issue and confirmed what Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. fans have known all along. " No, I don 't regret bringing back Phil Coulson because he 's Clark Gregg, and he 's so badass," he said.
Super-Size Me is a documentary film, created by Morgan Spurlock. This documentary emphasizes the message of the risks of consuming fast food and the outcomes that fast food has on people’s health. Spurlock came up with this idea from a lawsuit that involved two young girls suing McDonalds for their weight problems. The presiding judge over this case ruled that there was not sufficient evidence that their health issues were caused by consuming food from McDonalds. As an experiment to see if these girl’s claim had any merit, Spurlock was determined to only consume food from McDonalds for thirty days and see if there was any correlation between eating fast food and declining of health.
I read the review of a kid’s film, “The Lego Movie” by Christy Lemire. The author seemed to be very surprised by the way she reacted to the film. She felt that it went beyond the traditional genre for children and provided a response in her review. What she felt astounding her, so much that she stated how the old cliché saying “I laughed, I cried” was very much true for her. The common expectations about the genre of the film that she points out in her review is catchy theme songs, predictable scenes, hacky punchlines, and an exhausting simple message.
As one of the main forms of American heroic film, Marvel Movies films are captured by a large number of Chinese audiences by virtue of its wonderful storyline, intense fighting scenes, dazzling psychedelic special effects scenes and other high-quality popular consumer cultures elements. These characteristics makes it a powerful tool for the United States to pursue cultural imperialism in the context of globalization. The film is everywhere embodied in universalism, individualism, crisis consciousness, conservatism, fate and white supremacy of American values. The use of Chinese elements in the film also express the political stance of the United States on China in order to achieve the purpose of cultural assimilation. As a typical American

From raging hormones to feelings of inadequacy, the teenage life is a mountain to overcome. This is especially true for a teenager who has superpowers. In Spider-Man: Homecoming, the protagonist is a fifteen-year-old teenager who wants to use his powers for the betterment of mankind, but he also has to play the role of boring Peter Parker. I will first explain how Spider-Man: Homecoming is a part of the teen movie genre, which will merge into several ideologies throughout the movie that are a common trope in the teen movie genre. For example, having a feeling that you are meant for something greater, asking a girl out to a dance, finding someone older to look up to, wanting desperately to fit in with the cool kids, and rebelling against authority.
