Cinematic Interpretations Of Watergate
[ send me this essay ]
5 pages in length. Andrew Fleming's 1999 film entitled Dick and Alan J. Pakula's 1976 All the President's Men each reflect their own individual perception of Watergate's historical importance; however, while Pakula's version serves to reflect the serious nature of such a scandal, Fleming's decidedly lighter portrayal points a satirical finger at not only Pakula's film but also at the overwhelming importance American society has placed upon the unfortunate incident.

Cinematic Rebels
[ send me this essay ]
A 12 page research paper that looks at three films. Modern filmmakers often use the anti-hero, the rebel, to emphasize the points that they wish to make about society and its moral ambiguity. While traditional values portray right and wrong in clear-edged, well-defined terms of black and white, filmmakers reveal the frequent hypocrisy that constitutes the actual reality of societal experience. This use of cinema is particularly evident in three films, Taxi Driver, Full Metal Jacket and One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest. Bibliography lists 5 sources.

Cinematic Style/The Dardenne Brothers
[ send me this essay ]
A 3 page research paper that reports on the style of these two Belgian directors. The Dardenne brothers, Jean-Pierre and Luc, of Belgium, began their film careers by producing documentaries for television in the late 1970s (Camhl). Their films La Promesse and Rosetta were motivated by the desire to educate the public as to the "things of the present" (Camhl). In La Promesse, the directors picture a "moral universe in disorder," where a young boy has to make a traumatic choice between loyalty to his father, a black marketeer who exploits immigrant labor, and his own first stirrings of conscience (Camhl). As this suggests, La Promesse is a "moral fable" (Dargis). It is delivered in a neo-realistic style that pictures the adolescent protagonist disobeying his criminally-oriented father in order to aid an illegal immigrant and her child (Dargis). Bibliography lists 4 sources.

Cinematography in “Hero”
[ send me this essay ]
A 6 page research paper that discusses the elements of cinematography in “Hero,” directed by Zhang Yimou, 2002, which is an epic film and its $30 million production budget makes it one of the most expensive films in the history of China’s film industry (Heilman). The film’s narrative is similar to any one of numerous films that are set in an ancient era and involves numerous scenes of action-packed sword play.
