NurfaridahUtami Dewi 1407214 4B2 Real Steel Real steel is a science fiction sport film which was directed by Shawn Levy. This film is based on a short story "Steel", written by Richard Matheson , and originally published in the May 1956 edition of The Magazine of Fantasy & Science Fiction , and later adapted into a 1963 Twilight Zone episode , though screenwriter John Gatins placed the film in U.S fairs and other "old-fashioned" American settings. Real Steel was released historically by Touchstone Pictures in Australia on October 6, 2011, and in the United States and Canada on October 7, 2011, grossing nearly $300 million at the box office. The film was nominated for the Academy Award for Best Visual Effects at the 84th Academy Awards . Children …show more content…

Compared with the other film such as Transformer which is faster in fighting scenes, “Real Steel” used the slow motion action and it is easy to see the movement. There are also many scenes showing that the robot can do what the people do such as dancing. The story begins when boxers are replaced by robots . Charlie Kenton ( Hugh Jackman ), who is a previous boxer, moved into the battle game world as the handler of robot. Many times he experienced the shellacking, including when “Ambush” the blue robot played in Ricky’s carnival ( Kevin Durand ), lost in a set fight against a bull which belongs to Ricky. Because he lost of the game and he has made a bet that Ambush would win, Charlie has a debt to Ricky, but he ran out to avoid it. Before running out, he heard that his ex-girlfriend dead and he must attend to hear the right decision to take care for his son, Max ( Dakota Goyo ), a smart, seems to have been genetically programmed to understand computers and video games. Max’s aunt, Debra ( Hope Davis ), and her husband, ( James Rebhorn ), asked for keeping Max, which Charlie agreed for $100,000 on the condition that Charlie must take care for Max while they were going to Italy and retains Max for three …show more content…

Although this film is good to watch but it is impossible if there is no weakness aspects. One of them is in the part of the story's ideas. It is said that Charlie has ex-girlfriend and without marrying her, he has a child, Max. Of course, it does not give the good example especially for children. This film teaches about love between the members of family, the couple or even robot. Also, sacrifice is important in life. This film also tells us that underestimating the others is prohibited. Of course for robot or game lovers, it is the right film which must be watched. So, I recommend Real Steal for the family especially for adults. It is also permitted for children with the supervision from their parents. References: Bradshaw, P. 2011. Real Steel Review [Online].

    The Bronze Screen introduced both positive and negative portrayals of Latinas and Latinos in film. While there are plenty of positive Latino roles in films, Latinos and Latinas should be included in more positive roles because the negative roles Latinos have in films cause negative stereotypes. Positive and negative representations of Latinos in films has always fluctuated throughout history, however the more negative ones seem to always overpower the good ones. The film, “The Bronze Screen”, gave many examples of the negative roles Latinos played in films throughout film history. Early films included Latino actors, however they did not always have a lead role or even a positive one.

    Though they are friends, the lives of Pedro Machuca and Gonzalo Infante differ drastically in many aspects including family life, the luxuries they can afford, and the political affiliations chosen by their families. All of which relate to the common everyday life of Chilean citizens during the Allende Presidency, and the Pinochet Dictatorship implemented after the coup d'etat. During this time, the civil unrest never ceased, and life for chileans was generally either good or bad based on social status, income, and party affiliation. Both Machuca and Infante are classic examples of the division inequality of life amongst Chileans, with Machuca being a poor boy who lived in a shanty town, having very little education, and owning very few possessions. Where as Infante is wealthy, has a high end private education, and can afford to buy various luxury items such as brand name shoes and food for his family.

    Individuality is unaccepted and isolated from our society that embraces conformed values. The Copy Shop and L’homme sans tete are examples of short films that reflect this ironic problem of society where individuals are not identified with their individual morals, but conformed morals enforced by society. The 2001 short film, Copy Shop by Virgil Widrich conveys the idea of conformity. This is done foremost through the metaphor of 'copies' that fill up the film's world that represent conformity, where the composer satirises our society which is filled up by 'copies' of individuals sharing conformed ideals.
