Dirty Dancing was released in 1987. The film clip I chose was from the end of the season talent show. Johnny Castle (Patrick Swayze) approaches Baby’s (Jennifer Grey) table and tells her father “Nobody puts baby in a corner.” In this scene, Johnny grabs Baby hand and escorts her towards the stage while everyone looks shocked even to see him. The individuals on the stage are singing their farewell song, but they immediately stop to let Johnny capture the spotlight. The cinematography used throughout this scene focuses mainly on Johnny and Baby. The lightings utilized in this clip were low-key and three-point lighting. These different lighting techniques are applied in the movie to help set the tone and mood for the film scene. The

The book starts with William Goldman, the author, telling the story of his life around the book as telling his intentions on making The Princess Bride the "good parts" version. The Princess Bride is William Goldman 's favorite book but he never read it, he didn 't read books, he always failed his reading tests because he was thinking about sports players, all he did was sports, he wouldn 't miss a single game.

Tim Burton uses many different cinematic techniques to achieve very specific effects in his movies. The most important cinematic techniques that he uses to create his unique style are Non-Diegetic sound, lighting, eye level, and zoom.

As I read, Paul L. Dunbar’s “We Wear the Mask” I was interested in how he described what a mask represents. It is true that a mask was used to hide a person’s pain, emotion, or mood before the day known as Halloween developed. I love how Paul refers the use of the masks as a black or white person’s escape from other peoples’ worried faces. No one can ever understand what someone else is going through. People can never truly speak their truth or let out their suffering.
In traditionally, princess defined can be encapsulated in a few concepts later, the king 's daugther, incredibly beautiful, and born to wating to hostage rescue . All over the world to the comic characters, or even video games like Mario, Princess are acting weak, sitting in the tower and wating for who will get her.

The Wedding Banquet: Same Sex Relationships and Beyond “I’ll survive”, then Wai Tung responded, “not if Wei Wei keeps cooking.” The film “The Wedding Banquet” was packed with hilarious scenes, which at the same time, depicts the allegory of the modern view on same sex relationships. In traditional Chinese belief, marriages are to be conducted in order to give birth to a child and inherits the family branches, which has been generally recognized as the main goal of heterosexual relationships and behaviour.

I vaguely remember the Disney princess movie series I watched as a child at the age of 7 or 8 years old. Every princess in the film was able to find the prince charming also that is an ultimate goal of the happy-ending fairy tale.
