Tarfuffe (2016), directed by Nathan Robinson is a play about an old rich man turns to Christianity to to find meaning in his life, but is almost scammed by the very priest who convinced him to turn his life over to God. The main characters are Orgon, played by Bryan Westhoff and Tartuffe, played by Jack Gorwitz. One of the biggest differences between a play and film is how much louder and outlandish a stage actor or actress must be.

In the play, the scenes were fewer, but longer than the ones that are in film. The people that are acting in this film must apply more makeup to themselves and make their movements more obvious in order for everyone. including those sitting the furthest back, can see and hear them.

The play Tartuffe  has a theme about how easy it is for someone that people like overwhelmingly to take advantage of the people and use them for his or her own gain.

The main characters are Colonel Benjamin Cameron, Elsie Stoneman, Austin Stoneman, and Silas Lynch. They were played by the following people: Henry B. Walthall, Lillian Gish, Ralph Lewis, and George Siegmann. This movie uses a camera shots that have become the standard of cinematography in the modern film industry.

Some shots used in this play are were panning the camera from left to right, creating high angle shots, and close-ups. In particular, during the scene when the KKK are trying to breach a house. As they are riding down the dirt road to help the families fight back against Union soldiers, the camera is shown to be high above the Clansman as they gallop from everywhere down to the road and have the Union soldiers, that are portrayed as savages, surrender and scurry away like cowards.

In conclusion, Birth of a Nation  depicts how suffrage comes to those that endure pain endlessly, but do not give up hope for how good the future for their children can be.

Super Mario Bros. (1993), directed by Rocky Morton and Annabel Jankel, is a movie about the video game franchise "Super Mario Bros.". The two main characters in this film are plumbers named Mario Mario, played by Bob Hoskins, and Luigi Mario, played by John Leguizamo. They are teleported into a strange dimension where Dinosaurs have evolved to take on a humanoid form. The costumes for the bad guys in for Bowser, played by Dennis Hopkins, are just too creepy.

During the production of this movie, Hollywood Pictures decided that the film needed to be more dark and edgy, even though the video game franchise does not represent that. Therefore, when it came to make the live action versions of all the major characters, some like Bowser, or, the Goombas, his henchmen, did not look well. Joseph A. Porro, the film's costume designer, thought the best way to create a action version of the dinosaurs are make Hopper have giant horns, fleshy pink skin, and a leather jacket, which made him look like a mutant stunt double reject from the first Terminator and have his Goombas be digitally altered to have their heads either hilariously, or, creepily, shrunken down.

In conclusion, the husband and wife director duo attempt to create a movie that displays how love and friendship can overcome any obstacle life throws at them; however, sometimes it fails and everyone has to learn from it and move forward.

Look Who's Back (2015), directed by David Wnendt is a German comedic film about how Adolf Hitler, played by Oliver Masucci, travels forward in time from the end of World War 2 and finds out how radically different the present Germany is. He is assisted by a desperate journalist named  Fabian Sawatzki, played by Fabian Busch, that is trying to find the next hottest news to keep his job.  The movie is able to fend off the notion that it is racist or trying to promote fascism by being a screwball comedian.

Due to Hitler's (Mascucci) ignorance on how the modern world works, the film often shows he uses a tactic to manipulate or win over people no one takes him seriously. Through out the whole movie, everyone thinks that his is just a comedian and so them put up with him, which makes the movie seem have a lighter tone to it. Hanno Lentz, the cinematographer for this film, uses a good amount real footage of people reacting to Oliver Mascucci dressed up as Hitler when they meet him. Most of it are people smiling and laughing that somehow Hitler is roaming around in the present. Because the reactions are all people laughing and smiling at or with Hitler, it blends the movie together by establishing credit to its story. This reinforces how the movie doesn't take itself serious and neither should the viewer. This is how a genre film like a comedian should be able to in have subject matter.

In conclusion, Look Who's Back  decides to confront the taboo of talking about Nazism head on in Germany by having people discuss it in a not so serious environment. If people are not able to talk about serious issues because they are too taboo, then the problem will never be fixed.

Forrest Gump (1994), directed by Robert Zemeckis. The main character of this film Forrest Gump, played by Tom Hanks, is a very slow person that has unlimited stamina, loyalty, and kindness to others. Before watching this movie, I heard that this movie was a comedy that many teens and young adults could relate to. It touches on an array of aspects from dealing with bullies to figuring out what to do after college. Throughout it there is a single person that keeps Forrest (Hanks) optimistic and have his life on track. This is Forrest's love interest Jenny Curran, played by Robin Wright. She is represented by a white feather that Forrest (Hanks) picks up at the beginning of the movie and puts in his suitcase because it reminds him of Jenny.

The feather serves as a summary of Jenny's (Wright) life; it started out very pure and simple, but got more complicated overtime. As a victim of child abuse, this led her to go down a destructive lifestyle to cope with the trauma. The feather glides along through the air bopping up and down until it lands at Forrest's (Hanks) feet. This can be interpreted about how Jenny (Wright) was in and out of Forrest's (Hanks) life trying to find her way, but he never gave up on loving her. One of the most powerful lines in the movie to show his loyalty to her is when Jenny (Wright) tells him that he does not know anything about love. That every time he is around her, Forrest (Hanks) feels that she needs to protected, which makes her feel embarrassed to be near him. He replies that he is no genius, but even he "knows what it's like to be in love". He then goes out of the house, leaving her there to ponder about her life. At the end of the movie, the feather gets carried off by the wind when it is at Forrest's (Hanks) son's feet. By this time, everything in Jenny's (Wright) life has settled down. She got a steady job, had her own apartment, married Forrest (Hanks), and had a son. However, she passed away shortly after indicating how she finally had a staple life and come to peace about her past and could let go.

In conclusion, Robert Zemeckis emphasizes in this movie of how spontaneous life really is. There are plenty of ups and downs and everyone deals with them, but with some help from a friend, the bad experiences are tolerable.

Foodfight (2012), directed by Larence Kasanoff. The main characters are a dog detective named Dex Dogdetective voiced by Charlie Sheen and a squirrel stunt pilot named Daredevil Dan voiced by Wayne Brady. This is a movie that belongs in a unique category; it is so ugly that it is beautiful.

The entire movie budget was over $43 million and took over a decade to be made. The history of this film is very complicated. The visuals in this movie are a result of rushing to get it down as quickly as possible. So through out it the characters have odd textures make them look too pixelated or look like manure. The animation was not lively, but ghostly. When there is a close up on the character's eyes, they are still making the characters feel like dolls. A lot of the movements in this film are also very unnatural and shaky, making the characters look like they have a neurological disorder. Some objects seem to be just stills that were done done in Photoshop rather than having an actual model. The reason why this movie has this style of mediocrity is because the director Larry Kassanoff, did not know how to direct for an animation film. According to the New York Times, he would often make vague comments on how to improve the movie like, "Make it 30% better", or "more awesome". He also expected for people that specialized in one area of production were not skilled in another.

This movie is a reminder that no matter how a person works to create a piece of art that is beautiful, it can be ruined in a split second.

Son of Batman (2014), directed by Ethan Spaulding. The main characters are Bruce Wayne (Jason O'Mara) and his son, Damian Wayne (Stuart Allen). When first seeing this movie was about having Bruce (O' Mara) having to take care of his son while fighting crime, I thought it would act like a sitcom. Instead it was a popcorn flick, a nice movie with a few action scenes and that is it. An interesting part of this movie, is how the voices sound very unique compared what they have sounded like in the past.

O' Mara attempts to bring a unique voice to Batman that is "both righteous and dark" by using the inside approach. Since the movie involves a father and son relationship, O'Mara uses his experience in being a father to help bring this voice to life. This created an edgier tone to it because the subject matter is very delicate and leaves Bruce (O'Mara) to be more serious. He wanted it to be a voice that he is "comfortable with and own[s] it".

This movie showcases what how complex raising a kid can be, and how not everyone is cut out to be one. The movie forces Bruce (O'Mara) to take care of an arrogant and impulsive child and have him grow up to be a productive member of society.

Candyman (1992), directed by Bernard Rose. The main characters are Helen Lyle (Virginia Madsen) and the Candyman (Tony Todd). Initially going into this movie, I thought that it would be a rip-off of other famous horror movies particularly made in the style of Michael Myers. This was not the case, instead the movie had a classical, sophisticated style to it similar to The Silence of the Lamb. The main villain in this self-titled movie can be described as being a sophisticated playboy killer.

Todd brings the charms, vocals, and looks to make him come to life. In the movie, he speaks with a smooth and dark voice that can put anybody to sleep in and manipulate them. In one scene, he asks Helen (Madsen) what part of being killed she is afraid of: the pain or what is after death? She replies both. Candyman (Todd) tells her that the pain "I can assure you, will be exquisite." As for their deaths, they have "nothing to fear".  As the scene continues, Candyman (Todd) sets her down on a altar as his sacrifice while she is being hypnotized by his voice. He holds her to kiss her, he demonically smiles as his chest is full of bees and have some come out to his mouth onto Helen (Madsen). She is panicking while the Candyman (Todd) has a moment of self-confidence. The scene attempts to make the audience feel sad hopefulness for Helen (Madsen) since they want to her to escape, but can't under Candyman's (Todd) spell. Later on, as they see him about to kiss to signal what seems to be a graceful death, ends up to be shocking.

In conclusion, the theme to Bernard Rose's Candyman how fear can used by our imagination so powerfully as to be able to conjure up mythological beings. As Candyman (Todd) states, " I am the writing on the wall, the whisper in the classroom. Without these things, I am nothing."

Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them (2016), directed by David Yates. The main characters are Newt Scamander (Eddie Redmayne), a wizard that wants to protect endangered animals from being hunted for various purposes, Porpentina "Tina" Goldstein (Katherine Waterstone), a former wizard investigator, Queenie Goldstein (Alison Sudo), Tina's sister, and Jacob Kawalski (Dan Mogler), an aspiring baker. As someone who has never seen any of the movies in the Harry Potter franchise, I went into watching this movie with a 'anything goes' mentality. The movie was definitely fantastic, especially with the introduction and fighting scenes. My favorite was when the movie introduces the headquarters of the Magical Congress of the United States of America (MCUSA). The cinematographer was Philippe Rousselot.

Within this scene, Tina (Waterstone) has arrested Newt (Redmayne) for being unregistered as a wizard in the United States. The first shot of an an indirect-subjective viewpoint of them coming into the headquarters. Newt is looking upwards. The next one becomes a subjective point of view as the camera zooms in onto the clock tower that is coming down from the ceiling, in the middle of the building. It then quickly transitions into a director's interpretive point of view as the camera slowly rotates around the clock, focusing it in the foreground. It then turns and looks toward the ceiling, which is a longshot in an objective viewpoint for a few seconds to showcase how the expanse of the building with it having its own clouds.

The camera then moves back to the floor with a director's interpretive viewpoint again in a fast motion and expands out to show a wide-angle shot of the entire floor with people going from place to place. This series of shots are done in this manner to allow the audience to feel how Newt must be when he enters the station for the first time. This is a new experience for him because he is an illegal immigrant. This is shown when his eyes are wide and are awed when he gazes up toward the ceiling. His mouth drops a little bit and enchanting music begins to play to further enhance his wonderment.

The atmosphere and scene can be related to how immigrants feel about stepping into a foreign country for the first time to make a better life for themselves. It showcases of how wonderful the architecture looks like and the expansive of the building to showcase the country's power.

In conclusion, this scene showcases how Rousselot managed to create an atmosphere of how an immigrant coming to a powerful country like the Unite States, can make immigrants feel inspired about how safe, educated, and powerful a country can be through different viewpoints and angled shots.

Her (2013), directed by Spike Jonze, is a romantic motion reel that tries to explore the concept of whether people could experience a real relationship with a computer instead of a person and how it would look in the near future. One avenue that is explored thoroughly within this movie whether they can overcome their differences to have a happy relationship with each other. The main characters are a depressed, soft spoken man named Theodore Twombly (Joaquin Phoenix) and a spice for life computer AI named Samantha (Scarlett Johansson). While I saw this movie for the first time back in 2014 and loved it then, I only saw it for entertainment. After rewatching it for the second time, the movie still holds as a piece of thought provoking cinema. The director of photography for this movie was Hoyte Van Hoytema, who sets the scenery of the movie into a dreamy world that is only a few decades ahead of ours.

Across the Universe (2007), directed by Julie Taymor, is a movie set in the 1960s at the height of the Vietnam War and protests breaking out, along with the counterculture. It is about a British man from Liverpool named by Jude (Jim Sturgress) that travels to the United States in search of his father, and find attraction to a girl named Lucy (Evan Rachel Wood) from across the Atlantic Ocean. He also meets her college dropout brother Max (Joe Anderson) and instantly becomes best friends. For this film, I had read that it was a very trippy experience that engrossed you in its care free world with characters that were struggling to find their places in life. One of the best scenes within this film was when Max (Anderson), Jude (Sturgress), and Max's friends all go for a night out on the town and singing "With a Little Help from My Friends" by the Beatles.

The Crow (1994), directed by Alex Proyas, is about a man that comes back from the dead to seek revenge on those that killed him and his wife a year ago on Halloween Eve. When I watched this movie for the first time last night, that only expectation I had for this movie was that it was going to be a great action movie from the 1990s that would the first rocker I would ever see. My favorite scene of this film was when Eric Dravo (Brendan Lee) fought with Tin Tin (Lawrence Mason), who was one of the killers. It was clearly belonged to Eric as the midnight sky, lonely alleyway, and the fire in the barrel all represent the cold blackness he feel towards the killers with a heat determination to personally execute each one.

It is a cliche that serves the setup very well as everyone already what it meant, which allowed more for the fight. These are in it for blood as Dravo (Lee) is an avenging demon while Tin Tin (Mason) is a psychotic serial killer that acts like a ninja. This absurd combination allows viewers to suspend their beliefs of reality to enough the fight more. It seems to be inspired by old fighting scenes from karate movies as it includes punch noises and over the top choreography. The scene is fast paced and is matched in tone with the music to cause the viewer to be on the end of his or her seat. This shows how people just love to see conflict because of how exciting and amusing it can be. This is also evident in the dialogue.

Tin Tin (Mason) states that he murders because "it's fun [and] easy" and Dravo (Lee) is "gonna learn all about it". This creates more tension between the two as Tin Tin (Mason) arrogantly thinks he will get the upper hand. People are invested in it more now because it looks like the chaotic, dark side with triumph over the structured. moral light side. However, Dravo (Lee)  gains the upper hand at the last moment and mocks Tin Tin (Lee) when he misses Dravo twice with his throwing knives by telling to "try harder[,] try again". He proceeds to kill Tin Tin (Mason) with his own knife.

In conclusion, Proyas creates a movie that explores and manipulates how drama can be so dark to see how far people would find it interesting. He shows that as long as the two opposing characters are relatable and each represents a different perspective, people more often than not prefer the chaotic nature of life rather than the structured nature of human nature.

Comparison Between Hawk Glass and Jim Bridger

Comparison Between Hawk Glass and Jim Bridger

# data[].attributes.body
The Revenant  directed by Alejandro G. Iñárritu was about a fur trapper named Hugh Glass who was mauled by a bear and left for dead by two men. One of these men was a young outcast of the fur trade group he was working for, named Jim Bridge, who was lied to by the other man to leave Glass to die. Another young man that was an outcast named Hawk, who was Glass's son, was killed by the man who lied to Jim. This man that lied and killed to get ahead was named John Fitzgerald. Both Hawk and Jim show they are alike than different from each other, in fact, they seem to have almost all of the same character traits.

Both characters follow what they are told what to most of the time, have encountered death, and stand up for what they believe is right. An example that shows this is when Fitzgerald attempts to kill Glass so he can catch up with the rest of the fur trappers. He tries to smother him to death, but Hawk comes to the campsite at that moment. Hawk attempts to subdue Fitzgerald by grabbing his gun and tries to kill him with it. Fitzgerald stabs and Hawk dies. In the same scene, Fitzgerald tries to bury Glass alive and has Jim the digging for him, convincing him that the Arikara was coming to their campsite. At the last minute, Jim doesn't completely bury him, and instead gives him water to help ease his pain. These actions show that both of these young men act the same when their beliefs are tested.

Another scene that shows Hawk follows orders like Jim is when Glass commands him to not talk with any of the other fur trappers. At first Hawk is angry about this because he thought they were all on equal footing, but his dad stands his ground and he obeys. Overall Jim and Hawk seem to be the same person: an outcast that follows to fit in, but stands up for when his or her beliefs are tested. The difference is their perspectives. One is half Native American, half white, and knows the area very well that gets insulted about his race, while the other is a white fur trapper that does get picked, is more respected in the fur trading group.

Analysis of Mr. Brainwash's "Movie" of Grafitti 

# data[].attributes.body
Exit Through the Gift Shop is a documentary about  a man named Thierry Guetta. He went everywhere with a video camera to capture everything that he could film and spent most of his time traveling with street artists and filming their processes; meanwhile, his family would be back home in Los Angeles wondering when he would be home. People let him videotape them because he said that it was for a documentary, however, he was actually just collecting his life in magnetic tape. Eventually Banksy, whom he had known for about a year, requested if he could make these tapes into a documentary after Banksy's latest stunt. He did and what was produced, Banksy stated that "... it was never I've seen like it [before]".

The name of the movie was called "Life Remote Control: The Movie". It starts off with two title cards that make hard slapping sounds to introduce the title of the movie and then transitions to static. Afterwards images come onto the screen in a rapid succession that is too fast for the viewer to digest the visual information in time and used horror music with it. The film showed how Thierry was not only a bad film maker, but also did everything at the last minute and wanted to do everything his way. This proven when Banksy unintentionally makes him look through multitudes of tapes in order to put a documentary together that he never planned on making. The sporadic pacing of the film also shows that Thierry is wanting to going someplace else. He explained that he " never wanted to held down in one place".

He traveled from the United States to France and the United Kingdom so he could go out having adventures almost every night. His character trait of procrastination is more evident later on in the movie, when he open's up his first art gallery under the name 'Mr. Brainwash'. He spend more time looking at the cameras then doing the actual work. The movie continued on with suddenly zooming in and out, speeding up the footage randomly, and having very short clips in between. The whole movie showed Thierry's psyche as being a man that always had ideas and wanted to experience the world no matter the cost. Banksy sums it up by saying that Thierry was "someone with mental problems who had a camera".

How Does Mista Charlie Kane Affect Those Closet to Him

# data[].attributes.body
This film is Citizens Kane  and is directed by Orson Welles. The main character is Charles Kane.  He was a man who had the luxuries of both the physical and social aspects of life that so few people could obtain: Millions of people admired him, could work on what he wanted to, bought expensive furniture and materials, had a wife and son, and was a to be New York's next governor. However, there was one aspect of the human core that he lacked; a heart. Charles grew up in a family that became rich from a mine given to them to pay a debt. By the age of 8 though, his mother decided it would be best for him to live elsewhere because his father was abusive. This was a turning point for Charles because he never matured past this stage for love, only knowing to give and receive. Those that were close to him at one point were changed when they met him. Some of these lives would be worse off and some would be relatively unscathed.

His parents were the first ones to be close to him. His mother wanted him to be  raised elsewhere, so his abusive father, named Jim, could not get near him. An example of his father's abuse is when they are all out in the cold and he said to Charles, "Your mom figures, well that is, your mother and I decided that this isn't the place for your to your grow up in". This is a lie because a few seconds later, Charles pushes Mr. Walter Thatcher to the ground and his father tries to grab to give him "a good thrashing". Charles hides behind hide his mom while angrily staring down his dad. This action indicated that Jim did abused him and it has gone on for a long time and Charles hates him.

To summarize, Welles shows the audience that if a person grows up to never experience important aspects of humanity, he or she will never feel like a human themselves.
