I will be deconstructing the film Gladiator. I will be deeply analyzing the lighting and camera work in this film. "What literary devices are present?" There are a lot of flash backs in this film. Such as when he is weary of fighting and he thinks about walking in his field with his hand sweeping the wheat, this is also a foredshadow of his death and progression to rejoin his family in the afterlife. "Is the acting convincing?" Yes the acting was very convincing to me, of course they are too "good looking", they are Gladiators but are seemingly without anything to show they had ever been injured, weather that is saying they are just that good or fresh meat doesn't matter, it is almost impossible that a person of that time period doesn't have a scar somewhere on their person. The clothing for the gladiators is accurate... they would wear little armor and their swords were rather short in that time period. The fighting style showed in the beginning of the movie is mostly accurate. The Romans did use the shield wall that is shown in the movie, they also did fight in the unit type shown. "Why is the arrival to the stadium like that?" It is like that because its putting us in the characters shoes. Having us "wake up" in a strange place without knowing what is happening to us. "What effect does the lighting in the cages before the fight create for the viewer?" This creates a unknown suspense for the viewer, we don't know what is happening outside the cage. all we can see is the persistant shadows of something swinging around in front of the door.
In my essay I plan to discuss some of the aspects that make Sweeney Todd an amazing movie. I think i will talk about how the lighting, music, and dialogue create a uniqueness to this movie. For instance, the music and dialogue go very well with the plot of this story. Like the scenes where Sweeney is doing his killings, the music has a sort of lightness to it, to emphasize how he is definitely not thinking of the killing that he is actually doing and thinking lightly of it. The lyrics to the song is his reminiscing of his supposed long gone wife and daughter whom he wants back. Altogether, the movie was put together very nicely and I plan to talk about some of these things that put the audience in a mood during various scenes.
The film is good because it is a musical! Who doesn't love musicals???? You can sing along while you watch the movie! Huzzah! And this film is good to those whom have a bit of morbid humor and who like musicals....cuz there are actually people who don't like muscials...which is crazy...so you'd have to like them. The music in this film is effective because it gives the movie a good beat that will keep the audience watching because they want to hear the rest of the song.
For the fill in the blank questions: Why is/are the people in the movie all pale all the time? My answer: Probably to create the message to the audience that there is a lot of death going on.
What effect do the flashbacks of Sweeney's have on the viewer? My answer: To make the viewer see from Sweeney's view and make them more familiar with his background.

I will be analyzing The Chronicles of Narnia in my essay. One of the aspects I will be analyzing is the constant religious references involved throughout the movie. For example; Aslan of course is God, and the children are obviously the disciples sent to do God’s work. I also will analyze the casting deeply. Every person in the movie appears to be very similar to an animal, extremely good looking, or peasant like and unnoticeable. This had to have been done for a reason because the very attractive people have leading roles. "What literary devices are present?" There is foreshadowing when Peter says “Luce, I don’t think we should go back there,“ meaning the wardrobe, along with many others. There are also metaphors. Biblical references I spoke of before are perfect examples of this. “Why is Narnia like this?” The film creators used C.S. Lewis’ book and furthered it based upon the high demand of fantasy worlds such as those in Harry Potter and The Lord of the Rings. Narnia would also not be nearly as entertaining if it took place in present-day life. Why watch something that we have already experienced a thousand times if we could experience something from the ‘40s that we have never seen before? It is more intriguing. “What effect does the soundtrack create for the viewer?” Without this soundtrack the movie would seem less whimsical and strange; the creativity of Narnia would be lost. The words in the music do not seem common, and when listening to them during specific times played during the film, they surround you and make the film more gripping and realistic. “What effect does the cast create for the viewer?” The eldest son, Peter, has pinned the genetic lottery to the tee. He captivates the audience of young women throughout the entire film. He is charming, witty, and a leader who looks good in a suit of armor. William Moseley was cast as Peter for a reason. The ice queen also has a significant effect on the viewer. As soon as her castle is even viewed, a chill comes across the body. She appears stoic, haughty, and unapproachable. She is manipulative and scary as she acts kind to receive what she wants. The viewer never knows when she may crack, and burst into anger. I cannot wait to deconstruct this film!
The film I plan to deconstruct for my paper is Dirty Dancing. In my paper I plan to analyze the soundtrack to this film and what effect it has on the viewer. Why did they choose the music they did instead of using some other music? Is the music they choose effective? I also plan to analyze the characters and the actors who play them. The actors in this film were chosen for a reason. They are what people consider to be good looking. I also plan to analyze why the characters are named what they are. Why did they give one of the main characters the nickname Baby? I will look at how and why we relate to some of the character and why we do not relate to others. I will also look to see if the costumes fit the status of the person. The people staying at the hotel should be dressed better than the help, but are they? Another thing I plan to analyze is the setting. Would this film have been as effective if it was set in the current decade instead of in the 60’s? Would this film have made sense if it had taken place at someplace other than at a hotel resort? Did they actually have these types of resorts back in the 60’s? Are the activities that are portrayed as happening at the hotel resort believable? I will also analyze some of the taboo issues that are addressed in this movie such as a wealthy girl falling in love with the “help” from the hotel, pregnancy out of wedlock, and abortion. I will look at why they choose to have the main character fall in love with the “help” instead of having her fall for a person of her wealth class. Another thing I plan to look at is why is this film good and who likes it. Would most men enjoy this movie? I doubt it. I will also look to see if this film leaves any questions unanswered or if it has an ending that satisfies all the questions that come up throughout the film. I will look at why the weather is what it is. Would it make a difference if it was always sunny or always rainy?
The film I plan to deconstruct for my paper is Taken. I thought this film was amazing because it is so suspenseful that you couldn’t even take your eyes off the screen. In my paper I plan to analyze the different camera angles and lighting that the director uses. Why did they use the camera angles that they used? Why is most of the film in a dark setting? I also plan to analyze the plot and setting of the movie. I plan to analyze the soundtrack to this film. Why did they use certain music in certain situations? I think they did a good job picking music for the more violent scenes, it makes it more thrilling. I also plan to analyze why they chose the characters that they chose. They have to have a certain reason for doing so. There is a lot of violence in this movie but I think it is necessary because Bryan is on the hunt to find his daughter. He has to fight off the bad guys in order to find his daughter. But is it necessary to show who and how he is killing everyone? I will look at why the weather is what it is. Would it make a difference if they changed it to always rainy or sunny? I would also figure out if this film was well liked and who liked it and who didn’t like it. I will also look into why they ended the movie they way they ended it? Why did they end it with a happy ending rather than a sad one? Why did the daughter go to the Paris area rather than somewhere else? Why did they have the characters in those work fields rather than in a different work fields? I will also look at what effects this movie had on the views. I am sure it had a pretty big impact on most people’s lives. Could the director have done some things differently to improve the movie? What was it about this movie that really got my attention and made me like it so much?

The film I plan to deconstruct for my paper is Star Wars Episode III: Revenge of the Sith. I will be praising the accomplishments of this film and criticizing the flaws. I will uncover the symbols, both overt and covert. I will indicate the literary devices in this film (SW III has a PLETHORA of foreshadowing and dramatic/situational irony included). I will examine the acting, and whether or not it was convincing to the viewer. I will reveal the multiple subliminal messages hidden within this movie. I will probe further to ask the ever-controversial question, 'Is the action required, or is it merely there in order to keep the audience hooked?'. I will deconstruct the setting and how it relates to the film as a whole and as an individual scene. I will briefly describe how SW III links perfectly to SW I, II, IV, V, and VI. I will examine the weather in the film and whether or not it plays a substantial role. Finally, I will reveal the brilliance, determination, and imagination of George Lucas (the director/writer of all six films).
A perfect example of a scene transition: During a visit with Anakin, Chancellor (soon-to-be Emperor) Palpatine hints that he killed his master because Palpatine's master taught him "everything he knew". A few scenes later, Obi-Wan reveals to Anakin that he has taught Anakin everything he knows. The irony becomes blatant once Anakin attempts to kill Obi-Wan in a lightsaber duel later in the movie, similar to how Palpatine finished off his master. Palpatine has given Anakin some "fatherly advice", if you will, on how to use Obi-Wan's own knowledge/training against him.
The dialogue in the SW saga is filled with negative comments towards the galactic senators (similar to modern-day senators?) Along with the dialogue, I will examining sequencing, pacing, etc. I will also exploit George Lucas's 'hidden agenda'.
What effect do the outfits of the Jedi create for the viewer? The intricate robes and vests worn by the Jedi indicate their power, importance, and discipline to the galaxy.
The film I am deconstructing is I am legend. I think it’s a great movie to analyze because there are many different things that make this film brilliant. Will Smith makes a great main character in this film because he is shown as many different ways in this movie. He’s shown as fearless because he gets very close to lions and isn’t scared of them and it portrays that he’s lived like he has without people for a long time. There is also two scenes showing him working out and his nice abs, this showing that he knows what he’s doing and is a strong figure. He is also very smart. He has his own lab downstairs, wears glasses when viewing experiment, is a doctor, and has records of everything. He has one dog and that’s all he really needs because dogs are a man’s best friend. In the beginning, all it shows is about a news show playing, showing the viewer that something is wrong. It phases off to the next scene quiet and pitch black, making the viewer nervous as to what is coming. The city is almost like another character. It’s exactly like a forest but in New York City. Peaceful, grassy, trees everywhere and wild animals galore. Ironic to how New York City really is. The weather is always peaceful and sunny skies while the nights are very dark and dreary. Will zooms in with a very nice car with one white stripe on it representing one man alone. The camera shakes around just how will would feel in the car and there are tons of cars around the roads but no people? The audience is in a state of confusion. Mainly throughout the whole movie I liked the camera angles. Many different times it tries to make the viewer nervous by peaking around buildings so we cant see what’s really there, even if nothing is there at all. The camera constantly stays with him so that we don’t know what is out there in the city yet. The lighting most the time is sunny close to the sky and dark towards earth. Will shuts most the light away at a certain time of the day because something comes out at night. Throughout the whole movie your trying to figure out what’s really out there. Will also finds the “cure” on 9/11/12. That’s ironic to how something bad happened just like 9/11. There are many more things to analyze throughout this film.
I am deconstructing the movie 3:10 to Yuma a wonderful film by James Mangold. I am going to analyze the camera work and the ethics and morals of the men in the movie. This film is good because it has action and lots of suspense and twist and turns throughout the film. It is good to people who enjoy action western style movies and also for viewers who like to think whilst and after watching a film. There is plenty of violence in the movie but it is not over done. Every seen that shows violence is intended to draw the viewer deeper and deeper into the film. Whether the violence is used to show how Ben Wade is a scary dark character and will use violence to send a message to the rest of his gang; or how Wade’s right hand man will burn a trapped man alive to show his ruthlessness and unwillingness to let people get in the way of his goal. This film is set in the wild west of Arizona. Arizona is perfect location for the film it is far enough away from the major cities of the time but not so desolate that there is no life to be found. The small amount of life that is around is pretty lawless and Ben Wade will take that to his advantage for his countless robbing of stage coaches. Why are the characters the way they’re are and why do they have the backgrounds they do. They do that to add meaning to the characters and to make the viewer more involved with them and understand the reasons for their actions.
In my essay i plan to deconstruct the movie practical magic. Some of the feature i plan to deeply analyze are the camera angles, soundtrack, nature's influence on the mood, and the location of the film. Is music effective? Music in this movie is extremely effective it helps movie the sotry along and help you figure out what is going on or going to happen before you see that character again. How are the characters styled? the characters are styled in a very particular way. the women in this family rarely wear jeans or shorts the wear alot of skirts and dresses relating to how their pagan ancestors would have been. also the women grow their hair long. in the movie you see three generations of the Owens family, and all three have long hair. also it seems to be that each generation has 2 daughters, first a redheaded wild child and then a more family oriented brunette. the traits of these daughters shows how the family tree keeps going. Does the weather matter in this film? YES!! the weather is an extreme part of this film. when bad things seem to be coming up the weather is usually getting more dark or it is during the night. when they realize something usually it is bright outside, like a light bulb turned on. Why is the camera angles like that? they use certain camera angles in parts to show what someone who just walked into the room might see. they also use angles so it seems more like you are in their shoes and shows you how horrifying somoething might seem as seen from their eyes. What effect does the location have/create for the viewer? the location of the movie is an old fashion town. the house that the movie takes place in is extremely old fashioned and almost looks like something out of a horror film. it is tall with a lot of floors and windows. it is a white house but has not been painted in many years so it appears to be chipping.
Never Back Down is the movie I have chosen. I will be deconstructing various items from this movie. First are the characters. Jake Tyler, the pronounced main character. Living in a small town in Iowa, forces Jake to make the wrong decisions. Letting his father drive, who was drunk, home form a fishing trip was his ultimate mistake. This caused him to die. With this in the back of Jakes head, he turns to fighting to release his anger. Fighting though only causes more mistakes. He gets into one big fight at a football game and is forced to move to Orlando. At his new school Kick Boxing is the sport to be in. Ryan McCarthy is the top dog in this region. Ryan believes to be the best you must take out the best which in this case is Jake. Jake trains with his new friend in Mixed Martial Arts. The only thing is being in this class you can not fight out side of the ring, this turns Jake into the man he needs to be; strong and dependable. This is just a run over of the characters.
I will also talk about camera work. The position of the camera throughout the movie is very interesting. By capturing the intensity of fighting and the hard work you feel like you are fighting and feel the sweat that runs down each fighter. The camera also does the circular motion during fights to show every little detail.
We all know that people do not have a soundtrack to our lives, so why do movie like Never Back Down have a soundtrack? Soundtracks help make a movie, it helps you feel what the character is going through. Intense, is what this soundtrack accomplishes with the movie. With every lyric perfect to the action one feels empowered. Having a soundtrack also helps the artist. If the viewers like the song they will of course check it out and buy the songs; which produce sales and popularity for the artist.
I plan to write my deconstructing movie essay on Paranormal Activity. I chose this because there are many things to talk about it. The movie is filmed as if a home video,which is much different then most movies people watch on a day-to-day basis. I can analyze why they chose to make it with a basic camera, why they chose not to hire professional actors or well known actors, and why they have the camera placed in the same spot for most of the movie. Why did the directors want the movie to seem as if it were a home movie? Is this a way for the viewer to connect to the actors?
Why is the camera placed mainly in one spot like that?-- to make a good angle. When the girl gets dragged off down the stairs, the camera is left in the bedroom so that you can't see what is going on. This allows the viewers imagination to run while and create a scene of what they think is happening. What effect does the male actor have for the viewer?-- he seems macho and brave. He wants to take on the demon himself, although he is obviously not able to. He thinks that he can fix the problem on his own. He doesn't want other professionals help.
The setting of the movie is rather important. It shows that they actors are wealthy and that the horrible things that are happening to them could happen to anyone. But that they aren't being singled out just because they have many nice things. Also, the main location for the movie is in the bedroom. You see the rest of the house but mainly the camera stays in the bedroom where most of the "activity" happens. Generally the "thing" attacks while they are sleeping. The film doesn't have many "hollywood" affects added in to make is scarier or more dramatic. They get the point across by connecting to the viewer through the "welcoming-ness" and "everyday-ness" of the home video.
The very end of the video also keeps you wondering where the girl went? It says she was never found. Although, we can see that the guy is dead, we did not see how she killed him.
I plan on deconstructing the movie "V for Vendetta." I plan on analyzing some of what is said in the movie. I want to know why V is so smart. He seems like he is not only super strong but super smart to. Even though he lost all of his memory in the past. I want to know why he plays that music when he is going to blow something up. I want know who he truly is the man behind the mask. He kills for the good of the people and his idea. The idea that sometimes a person needs to kill to do good. I intend in going into the past and trying to find out what the 5th of November means in history. The movie has a flash back and shows you what happened to V and with what happens to Eve and what he is really fighting for the girl in the next room. His Vendetta is to the person or persons that did that to her. He is fight for the people who are so scared of there government that they will not even speak of what it is doing and the only person who questions its government get in trouble for doing so. I always wondered what will happen at the end of the movie after he blew up Parliament building and kill the leaders of the government. What happens to everyone who takes control of the government or is it just chaos when everything is said and done did he really Help out England or just hurt it more then it already was. Sure he got rid of the dictator and his pack of goons but did he really help out by doing so? The effect it has on the viewer of the movie is that one person can change the world if need and put to the test he can change the world for better or for worse is up to him.
The movie that I will be deconstructing is Orphan. The main reason I choose this movie is because there were so many negative reviews on it. I plan to look deeper then the critics did. They complained about bad acting, playing off of other movies, and the plot. There is also a lot of controversy; adoption agencies protested the release of the movie in fear that adoption rates would go down. I will also discuss the lighting and what time of day certain scenes are filmed. Soundtrack, dialogue, and angles will also play a large role because of the fact it is a horror film.
I will find out when we learn or feel that this little girl is bad. Who do we care about? The mother, father, son, or daughter? They all have their own issues but we are able to put those aside and still want them to make it because of the all the evil the girl is radiating. I will also talk about all of the struggles and errors the characters have made in the past. These errors cause distrust in the family, making it easy for "the orphan" to make plans to slowly turn the family on each other.
There are a lot of negative points when it comes to most horror films. I will point these out and maybe suggest how they could be better. There is a lot of foreshadowing that does not seem relevant to the movie until it actually happens. I will compare this movie to other movies about devious children; specifically the movie The Ring. I hope to prove this movie has deeper meaning then most people think. There are a lot of symbols that people do not know what to connect them to, so I will figure those out too. I am excited to deconstruct the twisted ending and how it ties everything together.
I have not decided which movie to deconstruct yet. But once I do find one, I will deconstruct the action in the movie and if it is truely necessary, and how it effects the people it usually is targetted it to. And the soundtrack that goes a long with the film to see if the music fits with the scenes it goes with or not. I will deconstruct the camera angles and the lightening and the postition. Also I will think about the geography location in the setting and how it helps build the movie.
I have chosen The Hangover to deconstruct for the paper that is due February 16th in College Bound. In choosing this film, I mean work of art, it really struck me wild when we were first introduced to the setting by Phil calling Tracy (Doug's wife-to-be) and saying "We f***ed up." From a College Bound English 12 student's perspective, one KNOWS that this movie is going to take all the viewers on an adventure. I think that the most obvious feature to analyze deeply, would have to be the soundtrack. You might not think that music contributes to the film much, but imagine watching a movie with no music, something like No Country for Old Men would evolve. There is only room for one movie like that in America. The music in The Hangover contributes a lot especially because it leads a viewer up to a big point in the movie... the music gets louder and always seems to have some relation directly to the film. Some songs chosen were "Who Lets the Dogs Out" and "Stu's Song" about their friend Doug. You can tell by the lyrics of the song Stu sings, that he is hopeful that the will find Doug once the tiger eats the Roofies and they go watch Mike Tyson's security camera. Then the last line or two turns really pesimistic when he sings "but if he's be murdered by crystal meth tweakers, well then we're s*** out of luck. By listening closely to the songs chosen and the lyrics in the songs, a College Bound English 12 student with Mr. C would easily understand the movie more than the average Joe sitting next to them in the theatre. Music creates the effect of relating one's self to the film, because a person may be able to place that song in some part of their life soundtrack. I personally love the song "Yeah" by Usher, so because that song is in the movie, I like to think that SOME of Doug's bachelor party may happen at mine. Also, I plan on playing that song at my own funeral, to lighten the mood, and then have a dance party in my name. But I suppose that will only happen in my dreams.... To answer Mr. C's question of Why is _______ like that? I think that the setting is where it is, Las Vegas, because it is, no doubt about it, SIN CITY, and there is NO HOLDING BACK. To quote Allen, "I don't care if we kill someone, I won't tell a soul." I enjoy this film and plan on having a great deconstruction paper to turn in, in a few weeks.

I have decided to decontruct Finding Nemo. I chose this movie because it's cute and i love the movie, so naturally becuase i love it, i want to look deeper. It's a cartoon, so the drawings are at an angle for a purpose so the director can let us see what's happening at the angle. And because it's a cartoon, i'm going to make and assumption and saw that every scene has something placed in it on purpose, or why else draw it right? The setting is placed in the ocean, often considered peaceful, but a very dangerous place. Sincethe setting is set here, it makes the movies more intense, because not only is the ocean huge it's dangerous. Also it's very puzzeling on why the director chose i clown fish to search the ocean to find his baby... nemo. A clown fish is tiny compared to a Shark or other beast in the ocean. I think it makes the movie even more loveable because you want this tiny fish, in a sea of danger, to succeed in a huge ocean where it seems almost impossible to dream to actually find Nemo.

The film I intend on deconstructing is, by far my favorite, The Avatar. I will be deeply analyzing the camera angles, dialogue, sequencing and most importantly the soundtrack. The soundtrack is one of the most important things in a movie. If there is a epic battle scene they wont be playing party in the usa or anything, they will be playing epic music by symphonies that will boost your enthusiasm during scenes of epic proportions. In the film deconstrucion paper it asks why this film is good. It is more then good actually, its amazing, spectacular, stupendous, basically it is better then all three of those adjectives combined, in my opinion of course. I think it is good for anyone who would watch it. Also i whenever I watch it i don't see any flaws to it. Nothing could make this film better unless it was turned into non-fiction. To further on the topic of the music in The Avatar it is very effective. It helps us get sad when something quite sad happens but it gives us the reality of the situation. The music does not give to much away it is perfect as is the movie itself. This film does reflect how the world, or more the US, is today. It is set way into the future but it shows the how greedy us humans are. The humans visit a different planet with humanoid creatures called the Na'Vi. The Na'Vi is located on top of one of the biggest deposits of a very expensive mineral. So the humans go to them and attack with deadly force so they could be rich. People can relate to this movie alot and maybe will change there ways after seeing it. Basically the whole movie is animated but I have never seen anything more real ever. The special effects are definitely not cheap and good thing too because that is what makes the movie so good. It's set on a different planet with different creatures but you could swear they are real.

For my deconstruction essay i have chosen the film, "The Ugly Truth". In this film I will deconstruct the dialogue, camera work, lighting, and ect. I will be focusing on how the opposite sex interacts with each other. By closely looking at who says what and the actors/actresses body language I will be able to tell who is more superior in this film; males or females. Since this film has greatly to do with how and why people fall in love with each other, I will look carefully at the different ways the characters use to fall in love with one another. Hopefully I will be able to understand and write detailed thoughts on why they do certain things. I will also look at it in all my lenses; Freudian, Marxist, and Feminist. By using my Freudian lens I will look at the actors/actresses body language and what they are saying to one another. By just looking at the cover of the movie I can already tell I will probably be using my Freudian lens the most. The two main characters, (one female, one male), are both holding hearts. The female is holding her heart up by her head. The male is holding his over his genitals. Conscience? I think not. They are obviously insinuating that men think with their genitals and women think with their heads when it comes to love. By using my Feminist lens I hope to see how the main actress is feeling and how she is looking at the situations before her. I think "The Ugly Truth" will be a great film to deconstruct and I look forward to watching it.
I plan on deconstructing She’s The Man for my essay, but I’m not for sure yet. This is one of my favorite movies because it is really funny, yet has romance in it too. One major thing that I plan on analyzing in this movie is the gender roles and discrimination. At the beginnning of the movie Viola (Amanda Bynes) and her fellow soccer players’ team is cut, while the guy’s soccer team is not. Viola asks if they could try out for the guy’s team. The coach proceeds to laugh, along with the guys, and say how girls are not as strong or as fast as the guys are. Viola decides to pretend to be her brother and play on the guy’s team to prove that she is good enough. She is basically standing up for the girls and trying to prove something that is not 100% true. I plan on analyzing a lot of other things deeply, such as the lighting, sequencing, and dialogue. Something else that I will be analyzing deeply is the soundtrack which has some familiar hit songs such as Move Along and Dirty Little Secret by the All-American Rejects. Yes, I think that some movies, including this one, can affect or influence people permanently. I think the viewer could take the gender discrimination and think twice about how equally men and women are treated. She’s The Man does not exactly follow a formula, but it is like other films in some ways. There is conflict in the movie and at the end everyone, for the most part, lives happily ever after. Viola proves she is good enough at soccer by scoring the winning goal, and she ends up with her crush Duke. Why is the cover of She’s The Man like that? On the cover is the five most important characters. Viola is placed in the center because she is the main character. What effect does the gender discrimination create for the viewer? The gender discrimination makes the viewer feel bad for the girls and gets them more into the movie. It makes you think twice about discrimination that actually happens in real life.
The movie that i am planning to deconstruct is the film The Boondock Saints. I plan to analyze the camera angles, lighting and especially the dialogue of this film. This film consistently uses highly profain language to make a point and i want to decide whether or not this is needed to maintain the purpose of the movie.
The movie i plan on deconstructing is A Cinderella Story. I want to analyze this movie because i have seen it so many times and it never gets old so i want to find out more meaning about it. I want to look at the features of it like why they picked certain actors for certain roles, how they picked the music, and why they picked to name it after a Disney classic movie. This movie is good to the girls who love chick flicks. It is all about the girl that is ignored and mistreated that turns out to be the princess and get the perfect guy. It also would be good for little girls. Since it has a close plot to the Disney movie Cinderella, they would enjoy it too. The music used in the film also persuades you to like certain people. When the girl that turns out to be the princess girl, Sam, is shown they play happy fairy-tale music. When her evil step sisters or step mom are shown they play evil villain music. The music that they use also goes along with what is happening in the movie. There is this scene where Sam is working in the diner because her step mom made her the song Rescue Me is playing. It goes along with the scene because Sam does not want to be working and she wants to be rescued out of there. This movie should be inspiring. It should make girls know that even if they aren't the most popular beautiful girl in school that they can be just as good as they are. There are symbols in this movie too. One symbol is her cell phone. She uses her cell phone to talk to this mystery man all day long. When she is at the dance waiting to meet him she hooks her phone on her shoe. When it is midnight and she is rushing out running up the stairs she drops her cell phone. As Austin, the perfect mystery man, runs after her he notices that she dropped her cell phone. He picks it up and uses it to help him find this girl again. This is just like what happens in the movie Cinderella except that in that movie Cinderella loses her shoe and the guy uses it to figure out which girl she was.
The Movie I have chosen to deconstruct is The Dark Knight. I am intrigued by the camera work, the characters, plot, lighting, themes, and outlook of the movie and how it affects our daily lives. It is ironic that the joker is the villain; when most people think of clowns, they think of: laughter, happiness, joy and pleasure. Heath Ledger is quite the opposite. The joker appears to be insane throughout the entire movie but at the same time he is quite sane. Batman is also an ironic symbol; bats are usually feared, associated with evil, and mysterious. The director also use brilliant camera angles on the scene with the ferries and also when batman saves all of the hostages near the river. Writers use brilliant foreshadowing when Harvey Dent says, "You either die a hero, or you live long enough to see yourself become the villain." This film has a huge affect on our belief, especially after 9/11; it shows that even the most patriotic men can fall to wickedness. Harvey's coin is also a symbol of fate, he also says, "I make my own luck." Throughout the movie the Joker reminds us of what one man can do, I believe that it takes many men to win wars, but it only takes one to change the world. Great examples of that would be people like Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., JFK, Gandhi, Elvis, and in the movie; the Joker, Harvey Dent, and Batman. Harvey's coin is also a symbol of anarchy which is brilliant irony when he is the District Attorney. Joker's ethics, morals, and thoughts show us that this world is full of murderous psychopaths, and what is fair. He reveals to us the cold truth, a person is smart people are stupid. The psychology behind batman goes beyond any movie that I have ever seen. This movie's major theme is that it doesn't matter who you are everyone can fall. Alfred says, "Why do we fall Bruce? So we learn to pick ourselves back up."

I plan to deconstruct the movie Selena. I like the way they use the camera up close and not far away. They make every aspect of her life seem really unique and life-like. The soundtrack is just the songs that she wrote and sang. I know a few of her songs but not many because alot of them are in spanish and I am taking German. why is Jennifer Lopez so much like selena? I think they have alot in common and that is a good thing considering they come from similar backrounds and family situations. This doesn't really effect me as a viewer of this film. I look up to the people in this film that work really hard to make the viewer pay attention and realize what they are going to be watching on their tv. Something tells me that I like this movie because it's a great biography on a superstars life that has been cut short. There is alot that hasn't been said about why Yolanda Saldivar decided to murder Selena and why she couldn't figure out what problems they were having in their business relationship that had been affecting their everyday lives. I don't understand why they leave out the actual part where selena is brutally attacked and why they don't seem to keep it real. I suppose they figure that their are young audiences that may watch this movie.I think many of the people that influence us are movie stars and people that are part of the media. They make us want to be just like them and "Perfect"! It really bothers me and makes me feel like why should I watch these horrible movies?

In my essay I am deconstructing the movie The Lord of the Rings The Return of the King. Some areas that I will be able to deconstruct are the lighting, the soundtrack, the dialogue, and the pacing. The lighting is very important to the movie. It tells the mood and the feeling of the movie. Another important aspect is the soundtrack. The soundtrack for this movie has won awards for how well it tells the story and gives the mood of the movie. The dialogue to the movie is unique in the aspect that it is a fantasy movie and so the dialogue reflects that. They use different dialects and languages that are very unique. The pacing is also different because the movie is part of a trilogy so they have to pace it as such. One of the questions that should be answered is why this film is good. Its good because you have a sense of understanding of what the characters are going through. You feel for Frodo and can feel his pain. There is a character in the story that any person could relate to. Each character is essential to the plot of the story and without them the movie would lose some of its amazing mesmeric power. Also their acting is phenominal. I truly believe that I walk amongst them every time I watch the movie. It is a great feeling. It is part due to the director but the acting job sells it even more. You get a sense of what it would be like to live with them and be one of them. Another thing is symbolism. The character Gollum is a huge symbol. He symbolizes greed and the need for power. It is a perfect impersonation of greed in the american society or any society in general. He is on his own quest to steal back the ring of power from Frodo's hands and take it as his own. It shows how sometimes people care to much for earthly objects and should care about something more than that.
I will most likely be deconstructing the film Up in my essay. I will talk about how the soundtrack and the sequencing help to make the movie inventive. The music in the movie ads emotional appeal to each scene whether it is happy or sad. “Why is this film good?” This movie is good because it is filled with awe and trickery, it tells a lasting tale of adventure that will make you laugh and cry. Although a bit predictable at times, Up is ingenius and once viewed is not easily forgotten. “To whom is it good?” It is difficult to say whether Up is a children’s movie with hidden jokes for grownups, a family film, or a movie designed for adults but has components that children can enjoy as well. I believe that Up is a combination of the three and ultimately cannot possibly just target one specific age group. Basically anyone who is old enough to sit through a movie should find this film entertaining. “What message is the film conveying to the viewer?” Hidden behind Pixar’s lighthearted, quirky animations are life lessons that usually apply more to adults than to children. In Up, Pixar provides inspiration for the elderly people that may feel that they have nothing to offer to society anymore. Also, Up teaches the younger generation to not be overly ambitious about superficial things. Moreover, no matter what the age Up informs us that human interaction is extremely important and is an adventure in itself. The main themes in Up include: death vs. life, young vs. old, personal status vs. personal relationships, friends vs. enemies, and inner vs. outer journey. What effect does the opening sequence have on the viewer? The opening sequence is a heartbreaker in a sense, if you do not have the slighest urge to cry after watching it your incredibly insensitive. Why is the dialouge the way it is? I feel the dialouge of the characters is the way it is because each phrase ads either humor or sentiment to the overall feel of the movie and gives each character their own personalities traits.
I plan to deconstruct the popular film “The Chronicles of Riddick.” I’m going to deconstruct everything that makes the movie so popular: the camera angles, the dialogue, the lighting, the plot, the soundtrack, and anything else I feel needs to be added to the paper. “Why is this film so good?” This film is good because it keeps you on your seat the entire movie, not knowing what is going to happen next, but at the same time anticipating or guessing what will. It is also good because of the actors that were chosen for the rolls. Vin Diesel was and still is a very highly idolized actor. He played major roles in not only this film, but also the “Fast and the Furious” series, and “XXX.” “Is the acting convincing?” Yes, I believe it is. The movie makers did a wonderful job of starting the movie off with Riddick running away from a bounty hunter. He is wearing a long, almost hobo looking overcoat, with a great big mangy beard. This leads the viewers to believe right away that he has been running away for a long time. They also make the princess black lady look the way she should; well kept, beautiful, always in great dresses and always acting the way princesses should. “Is the music effective?” The music is very effective because it will make you believe that one thing is going to happen, when in all reality, something completely different happens. This film is very appealing to the movie-goer because it is something that has never been done before. It is set in futuristic times, as is portrayed by the advanced weaponry and flying machines. The story behind it is an escaped convict is being hunted down and is then the centerpiece for keeping the world from falling into chaos. Why is the back cover of the movie like that? What effect does the back cover have on the moviegoer? The back cover has the colors red and orange, which are the most eye-appealing colors. It also has quotes from popular magazines and actors describing their feelings on the movie. It has a list of bonus features, and cool-looking pictures from the movie like this futuristic personal airplane. This creates a mindset that makes the movie desirable. You are never supposed to judge a movie or book by their covers, but we all do it anyway. This movie producer took advantage of that and increased his sales in the process by making his movie look like something the casual moviegoer would like to see.

I am going to deconstruct the movie Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen. Dialogue in this movie tends to be very important because of the use on the play on words. The dialogue also helps to tell the audience of this movie what is going on and tells the story of the Autobots and the Decepticons (Transformers- Robots). The lighting in the movie is also important through out the movie because of the time of day, or the place that is being shown as dark being the antagonist’s lair. There are a lot of battle scenes through out the movie that make the movie more “awesome” and “thrilling”. This adds to the viewer’s pleasure at watching this movie. The movie makers begin the movie with a camera shot of a savage Egyptian man that ties this movie to the first Transformers movie. This also gets the attention of movie-goers because this man is scary. In the very beginning of the movie there is already a battle scene that gets you motivated to see the rest of the movie. As you see Shia La Beouf, a light is behind him as the camera moves up towards him. When we first see Megan Fox, she is shown in a sexy manor over a motorcycle painting a she-devil on it, this signifies the hotness of Megan Fox, as seen by every male on earth (pretty much). When we are shown to Optimus Prime, he is shown flying through the air, doing a flip, and then he lands on his feet like it’s no big deal to him. When we are first shown to Megatron, ominous music is then played and we see his rusted body. This turns out to be foreshadowing as to what will become of him later in the movie. This movie shall be very simple to deconstruct.
I am not sure what movie I will be deconstructing for my paper but the movie I’m leaning towards is The Notebook. There are many aspects of the movie that I would analyze including the setting, the 1940's, and what America was like then. Next I could analyze the camera angles and how the camera works with your mind to help show you when something important is going to happen or to make you care more about what is happening to a certain person. The dialogue plays a big part in this movie because of the setting. Another aspect that will need to be in my essay is explaining the costumes and wardrobe used in this movie and how it shows what the characters are like.
Some other questions that need to be answered include things like: Why was this movie good? How does it use literary devices? What formula does this movie follow? This movies was so good for many reasons. It is not just a simple romantic love story where two people fall in love and live happily ever after. It is more of an epic love story that overcomes many obstacles because it is such true love. This movie is a special kind of movie because the majority of the movie is a flashback. It is a flashback of the relationship between the old couple in the nursing home. This film may follow the typical love story formula for the base of the film but it is much more than a boy meets girl story. There is a struggle between the status of the upper class and the lower class, and the struggle between a girl’s love and that her parents want for her.
Why is the time setting like that? I believe that it is set in the 40's to add a different appeal to the movie. People think of the 40's as a simpler time. Because it is set so long ago, you are able to see the couple as they age and grow old together. What effect does the old couple create for the viewer? I think that the old couple in the nursing home creates the idea that their love is so strong it lasts forever. Not a lot of movies can show the couple as they grow old, but this one does.
The film I plan on deconstructing is Million Dollar Baby. I like this movie because of the plot/storyline. I also like the drama and I also like that it has a sport theme. One thing I don’t really like about this movie is the few sights of blood and when we see the people get hurt. I am sort of surprised that I like this movie because it is dealing with boxing which is can be a very violent. I am going to be analyzing many aspects of the movie in my essay. Million Dollar Baby was directed by Clint Eastwood. Eastwood was also one of the main characters, along with Hilary Swank and Morgan Freeman. I am going to analyze why they hired Hilary, Morgan and Clint. Why they chose these actors to play a certain role. I am going to try and deconstruct why they choose this title, how did they come up with it? I am going to figure out the lighting in this movie is dark and glooming? Why did they show people in the dark, what were they trying to achieve by doing this? I am going to analyze why the used the camera angle the way they did. Why they showed it this way instead of another. They didn’t have much of a sound track and I am going to figure out why they did not have much music in the movie. The music that they did have in the movie was very fitting to what was going on during the movie. Some movies don’t pick the correct music with the correct scene. I liked the pacing of the movie. They didn’t have really long scenes that didn’t need to be in movie, everything made sense. I liked how every sentence in the movie had a meaning; there was no sentence that was just there for filler. What effect does the lighting create for the movie? What effect does the camera angles create for the viewer. In my paper I will deconstruct all of these aspects and features of the movie and more.

The movie I will be deconstructing is The Lion King. As a little kid i thought the movie was great and loved it. As a more grown up kid i realize all the hidden messages that many other childrens movies use to try and shape small unnurtured minds. Most of these lessons don't corrupt but rather teach morals and right from wrong. In my paper i will analyze many of these symbols and hidden messages in the movie. One of the main ones is the mans role as "king" in the movie while the women dont recieve any role. Another one is the heirachy and controlling social status. Those with the most power rule those with not as much. I will also analyze how the characters look compaired to their roles and morals in the story. Also with looks, i will be deconstruction the actual voices of the character and how they differ based on personality. This movie was such a hit because it was craved by little kids but it was made in such a way the parents of the todlers were also somewhat excited to see it. The creators created it in such a way that the surface level was a childrens movie but just behind it was an adult movie. The humor in the movie was funny to anyone no matter if they were six or sixty-six. Anyone watching the movie is always connected to the characters and feels emotional about them. Throughout the movie the main character is portrayed as the good one and the audience has no other influences to think otherwise. When trouble does finally appear everyone is rooting for him because of what they know and why things are happening to him. In my essay i will answer the question "What qualities do timon and pumba have to do in the movie?"

I was thinking of possibly deconstructing either twilight, just my luck, or Georgia rule. I think all would take alot of time to really breakdown and analyze successfully since i have only seen them each a couple of times. I know it would take alot more viewing time to figure them out on a deeper level. I would focus on the camera angles, and transfer of the kiss in the film just my luck, and what luck itself stands for and symbolizes in the movie. Also the fabulous lifestyle she has before this random kiss. I could also look at how ealisy lohan made the movie popular. (which i also might consider analysing in georgia rule since lohan is also the star of that one) I would really get into the history of lohan in each of the movies, one she is succesful, rich, and fabulous, and in the end she downgrades to just a normal person, unlike georgia rule where she starts out being unhappy and unwealthy, and actually ends up with an upgraded life. Both movies use music pretty well so i could easily break down how the songs fit into the moments. I could do that with twilight as well.
The two i am probably considering most are georgia rule, and just my luck. I'll go with georgia rule for my questions
* the film is catchy becuase it begins with a girl strolling beside her mothers car, automatically getting your attention and making you think why is the girl not in the car, and who is driving the car, and what kind of a fight is going on. It then goes on to explain the fight, and the lost family connection throughout the movie. It also gets the viewers to comprehend exactly where the tital came from, since the grandmothers rule that seems to shape the story is refered to as 'georgia rule' Also, The grandma's name is georgia.
* viewers can relate to the movie if they have been abused sexually or verbally. Mom's can realate to the difficulites of raising a teenage girl, and girls can relate to it since the main viewpoint is told through a 17 year old girl story.
* a downside or negative to the film is its not very guy relateable, and is definately more of a sterotypical 'chick flick'. I do believe the scenes introduce the characters well and the backround, landscape, and setting fit the plot well. Its ironic that a girl goes from California to Georgia. Her lifestyle changes from that of a city girl to a small town woman. I think it will be fun to break down from diffrent age aspects. The grandma's mom's and daughter's point of view.
This film has humor, depression and sadness, drama, typical family disputes, alcoholism, and life/money struggles; making it an excellent one for an analysis.
The movie I am choosing to deconstruct is my all-time favorite, The Notebook. I have already seen it over twenty times, so what’s a few more? First of all, the film is unique because it uses flashback to tell the story. The elderly Noah who calls himself “Duke” reads the story of their love to his wife Allie, who has Dementia. As he reads, we go back with him into the story. Throughout the movie, there are scenes that come back to Noah reading to help us remember that he is telling the story to get his love to remember him again. The music throughout the movie is absolutely perfect for the timeframe. It has calming piano music and also 40’s/50’s music. The music in each scene fits perfectly to what is happening. Allie is a covert symbol for the future of women in the country and how things were starting to change. She studies very hard to get into a very prestigious college. She has the world at her feet. Also, the acting is remarkable. Rachael McAdams (Allie) and Ryan Gosling (Noah) had definite chemistry in the film. They make you feel as if you are in the story, feeling all of their emotions. The clothing that they wear helps the viewer have a greater feeling for the timeframe. The 40’s/50’s clothing in the movie is absolutely stunning; especially Allie’s wardrobe as the young, rich, beautiful young woman she is. Everything in the movie is beautiful—the scenery, people, clothing, and even vehicles. The message that the film is conveying is the power of love. Love brings Allie back to Noah with her memory. Love even takes them away together. It is a beautiful love story that also has more messages throughout the film. Another one of the messages is love for and happiness, not for money. Allie ends up choosing Noah over extremely wealthy Lon. There is no price tag you can put on true love.
I am going to be analyzing Pulp Fiction. This movie's style is right up my alley and was calling my name for this paper. I will be studying the darkness, purity, and manner the story is told in. I need to get inside the minds of the characters and see the relations between them. I will exploit their very thought patterns and why they have hate or love between each other. This film is good for those who crave action, but in a way that is far from overdone. Viewers of this movie will want a little patience and a mind that is willing to explore the unordinary. This movie uses a lot; I mean a lot, of foreshadowing and flashbacks. It is done in the order of the scenes though. A lot of times, the viewer knows more than the actor, and just watches everything unfold. The actors are excellent and convincing. John Travolta, Samuel L. Jackson, Uma Thermon, Bruce Willis, and Quentin Tarantino are a few of the greats in Pulp Fiction. Mostly, they just look like everyday people who do far from ordinary things. Villians aren't hideous, and the "good guys" aren't too pretty. The music is chosen incredibly. It gives the feeling that everything shown in this movie is'nt a big deal at all. It's all just part of another day. A lot of it would normally feel good to listen to, but this movie plays it in a "different key". The violence and intimacy in this movie are totally necessary. They play absolutely huge roles in the movie and aren't overdone by any means. It goes to show that the director was aiming for more realism in the film. The lighting looks like it is just you in the room with the people. It's like that because the characters aren't meant to look glamorized, they look pure. The darkness of this movie creates an almost uncomfortable feel. It pulls the viewer in and makes him or her much more interested than if the movie were created from the regular cookie cutter.
For my film deconstruction essay, I plan to analyze Ocean’s eleven. I was going to point out the fact that the whole movie is based on one of the seven deadly sins, greed. The way the camera only shows what you really need to see prior to giving away the ending. It allows some mystery and anticipation. This film is good because it has an all star cast, which makes us interested before you even know the plot. Movies with actors we prefer automatically attract our attention, even if the movie sucks. There is also an interesting and new plot. I had never any movie like it before, although I’m sure there is. At the end, you see Benedict’s goons following Danny Ocean after he is released from jail. This tells us that Benedict knew Danny had something to do with his money getting stolen, and he is relentless to get his money back. There is a flashback after the heist. This allows you to see what really happened, in order to explain how they got away with all the money, and none of it was destroyed. The acting was very convincing because they don’t give themselves away when they are in a tight spot during their mission. Their clothes tell a lot about the characters, the different disguises allows us to know what the characters are trying to show who they want everyone else to think they are. The music gives us a feeling of excitement and wonder. The scene where we meet Matt Damon’s character, we see him in action. It shows us his skill and the fact that Danny Ocean is better at pick pocketing than Matt Damon’s character. There are 2 sequels to this movie and they are both similar to the original in the sense that they are about heists, but they are different in the fact that they aren’t in the same location and they all have different plans for each movie. The flashback effect gives the viewer the feeling of confusion then sudden understanding, leaving you on the edge of your seat until the very end.
I haven't made my final pick for the movie that I'm analyzing but I am leaning towards Red Eye. This movie is a thriller movie that is full of suspense. I will be studying the camera angles like when Lisa and Jackson are on the plane called Red Eye. The camera swoops down the aisle as if it is looking for the two main characters in the crowd of people onboard. Also at the beginning of the movie the camera angle is looking at pictures of Lisa from high school. Then a we see a hand drop a wallet in front of the pictue. We don't know who dropped it thought because the camera is still facing the wallet and pictures. Then a different hand suddenly grabs the wallet with the initials JR. I am also analyzing the menu of the dvd. The font is bold thick and red. There is suspenseful music playing while you see a preview of Jackson chasing Lisa. I have noticed a reocurring theme which is the color red. Throughout the movie you see a red book, blood, red asprin, a red football, a red sunrise, red hotel furniture, and the character Cinthia's red hair. This theme of red ties into the title Red Eye. Lisa's book is also a symbol for bad luck. When Lisa has it she almost gets into a car accident. Then she gives it to another women who later in the plane gets knocked out by Rippner. He takes the book and later he gets a pen stabbed into is throat. At first the director of the movie deliberately portrays Jackson Rippner as a nice gentleman, who helps Lisa when she stands up for a flight worker that is being yelled at by a rude customer. I think that the actors look as they should in this movie. Lisa looks like a successful business women that is polite and calm. Rippner looks like a decent person but there is something off about him. He has bright icy blue eyes that show how cold and icy his soul is. This film also reflects what is going on in the world around the time it was made. This is a terrorist themed movie that was made after 9/11. The weather in this film also matters. It is a stormy flight back to Lisa not only literally but Lisa is put in a bad situation to either aid in the killing of the chief of homeland security or have her father killed by a hit man. the music in the movie is the like that to add suspense to the movie. Lisa's fear of flying affects the viewer because we sympathize with her. She is already scared to go on this flight but to make it worse for her she is sitting by someone that has been stalking her more months.
I will be deconstructing the movie Up in my film deconstruction essay. I plan to analyze camera work, the music, how the story builds at the beginning of the movie and sequencing, the story line, and the symbols that are present throughout the movie. With the camera work, there are numerous times when the viewer sees a character look at something, then the viewer sees what the character is looking at it. This is a very clever way to keep the viewer interested without them realizing it. Throughout the film, the same tune is played. I will analyze whether there is a common time in the plot, like a moment of triumph, when it is played. About the first twenty minutes of the film is all exposition and buildup to the rest of the movie. I will analyze why all of what is shown in the exposition is important to the rest of the film and how it ties into the rest of the plot line. The story line is interesting as well, and I will analyze how the director keeps the viewer interested in the story. I will also analyze the many symbols that are present in Up.
How does each scene contribute to the film as a whole? The opening scene with the black and white film of Charles Muntz's voyage to Paradise Island seems like nothing exciting the first time you watch the movie Up, but it is actually introducing the man who turns out to be an antagonist in the movie. Charles Muntz is also Carl Fredricksen's hero in his young age. It is an interesting way to start the film, but its uniqueness is a reason that the viewer's attention is grabbed almost instantly.
Why does the boy, Russel, have Asian ancestry? This applies to the stereotype that all Asians have stable, supportive families that expect their children to graduate from high school early and attend an Ivy League school. This may make the movie more appealing to different ancestries.
I have not quite picked a movie to deconstruct yet, but the movie that i am strongly considering would be "Iron Man". I will be analyzing the film very deeply through the angles of the camera, the acting the setting and many other things. This movie is very good because of the action, humor, and epicness in it. The movie appeals to people who wish they could be something powerful, like Iron Man, and try to protect the world with just an "iron" suit. In the end of the movie, after the credits actually, there is an extra scene where some guy comes in and asks Tony Stack, Iron Man, to be a part of a team, and it just ends right there. About a month later after this movie was released the same thing happened in the movie "Hulk" which really got people excited to see the next movies that will be coming out, that link to these movies. The acting throughout the whole movie is well done by Robert Downey Jr. He basically makes the movie in my eyes because it just seams like he was not actually acting in almost everything he said, but he obviously was. The only time I can see, in this movie, that the characters are acting poorly would have to be anybody but Robert Downey Jr., just because he did just an amazing job doing it and i do not think that anybody could compare to his acting skills. I think that the characters look like they should be. Tony Stark's clothes definitely represents who he is because he is a business man/inventor. He wears suits when he is trying to sell his product to the military and he wears old looking clothes when he is workins on a new invention in his office, or in the cave in the beginning of the movie when he is kidnapped by terrorists. Tony Stark is like this, smart and productive, basically because he got it from his father. The effect of Stark getting kidnapped actually scares people in the audience because he is the good guy and nobody wants the good guy to get hurt in the movie. When Tony Stark escapes from the place where he is being kidnapped, it really shows the audience respect for him because he doesn't want the enemy to know his inventions that could probably take over the world if they tried. He sticks to his plan and gets the heck out of there and that just shows how much of a genuine guy he is.
Charlie Sellers P.6
I am going to analyze and deconstruct the movie "The Dirty Dozen". I am going to deeply analyze the film angles and dialogue and compare them to modern day war movies. One main thing I’m going to examine is why the movie won the Academy award for Best Sound Effects. What kind of sounds effects was used in the movie so that this movie won this award? And I will also look into the three other Academy awards it was nominated for. I will compare other movies that the director, Robert Aldrich, has directed to each other. As well as why the actors were chosen for their parts in the movie.
The main character is portrayed as a rough and tough soldier personifying the American view of a bad ass person. He may lack the cowboy hat that Moss has in No Country For Old Men, but I'm pretty sure the big guns and the group of ruthless misfit soldiers that Lee Marvin commands in the movie makes up for the lack of hat. It uses some literary devices. There is alliteration right in the title. Messages that the movie might be trying to convey is that even misfits and nobodies can do things to help the greater good. There is violence in the movie and to me I think it is completely necessary. It’s a war movie after all and a war movie is not a war movie without some shooting some explosions and violence. Some of the explosions might be a little over exaggerated but they draw any war movie viewer into the movie and clinch their attention. This movie like many other movies follows the "Good Guy Wins, Bad Guys Lose" formula.
Shoemaker_5
The movie I am deconstructing is White Chicks. I will be analyzing the background music deeply to dicover why they play certain music at certain moments. Why is the main charaters like that? It makes the movie more comical and they work together very good. What effect does black men becoming white women have for the viewer? It adds a state of wonder and confusion.
In this movie two black FBI agents have to become two stuck up, rich white girls and go to a very inportant vacation. If the men are not convincing enough they will lose their jobs because they are in deep s**t with their boss already. It is very comical because it changes the roles of men and women and gives a change of view to all people. It is super hilarious that no one notices the difference between the real girls and the undercover agents. Even they way they act is totally different from anything the real girls would do, for example when they go "YO MAMMA" on the top girls of the town. It is so extreamly funny when the agent eats cheese and has to run to the bathroom because he is lack-toast-intollorate and is going to explode. It is against all things that we think of women but is excepted by the other girls in the film. We think that in real life girls don’t fart or do anything discusting but they actually do. Some effects in the movie that I’m going to analyze is how the timing of things and the order that they happen is stratigicly placed through out the movie.
This movie is one of my favorites so that is why I am going to analyze it and it is extreamly funny. I can not wait to write my paper on this amazing movie.

At the moment I am thinking about deconstructing Cloverfield. I am not totally sure about this movie yet because I was thinking about deconstructing a movie that I have not yet seen. I am definitely going to try to deeply analyze camera work, lighting, music, pacing, sequencing, dialogue and the plot. The camera angles and ideas used for this movie were definitely interesting. Throughout the movie one of the actors’ caries a camera and that is how the audience views most of the movie. The lighting is very dark when the video is shot with the actors’ camera or very bright. During a part in the movie the actors we are following go through a tunnel and a light is needed for the camera. At points some of the movie is hard to see. The actor caring the camera ads humor to the movie, when parts in the movie are aimed at being scary because of sounds, he makes one laugh and one becomes relaxed again. The amount of entertainment and the variety varies quite a bit which makes the movie quite interesting. In my paper I will consider answering many of the questions found on the “Film Deconstruction Paper.” Such as why is this film good? I felt this was a very good film because of all the action, intensity and humor placed all into one movie. I believe that Cloverfield was made for teenagers and those past that age. The Statue of Liberty's symbolism has grown to include freedom and democracy as well as this international friendship, it is shown in the movie and her head comes flying by the actors in the movie. Does this show us that our freedom is now being taken over by this monster? Is this part of the movie a shock to the viewer? Would the older population find it disrespectful? How does this fit in with the rest of the movie? Why did they create the ending the way they did? Was/is there a plan to create another movie? What effects do the actors have on us in how they react or handle their situations? These are some of the questions I will consider answering and deconstructing when I write my paper. I will also look very closely to find foreshadowing and dramatic/situational irony. I haven’t watched the film for awhile but for the deconstruction I will watch it three times or more.

I definately plan on deconstructing Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince. The Harry Potter movies are by far my favorite movies ever. If you have ever seen any of the series you know that the soundtrack is so addicting. Meagan Donovan and I have most of the song on a cd and we like to jam out in the car. I feel that the music always fits so well with what is happening in the movie, whether it's intense or suttle it just clicks. The camera work is obviously special effects, green screen, but is very well done. When they are flying on their brooms you feel as if you are in the air too. Also all the magic and all the spells look so real. Another thing i love about the series is how the characters (mostly) stay the same. It's like you get to grow up with Harry and Ron, I strongly dislike when movies switch up the characters on you. Why is Harry's life so rough, why is he the one that can beat Lord Voldemort, it's because it is a very addicting plot. You fall in love with Harry and want him to succeed in everything he does. I love this movie becuase in the end it switches things up and ends horribly unlike some of the other movies. (sorry if you haven't seen this) What effect does Professor Dumbledor dying create for us? Well it really makes us want to see the next movie coming out. Also makes us see that not all endings are happy and makes us wonder if Snape is going to have a larger role in the next moive. Im excited about starting my paper on Harry Potter and the Half Blood Price. It is my favorite movie and has many features that i can deconstruct, which helps me make a lengthy and scholarly paper!

I haven't really picked out a movie yet but I was thinking about disecting Twilight. It will be easy but hard. I shall analyze the lighting effect, the music which is being played during certain scenes, the characters,and many more things that will happen in the movie. I will ask myself: Why is that person/people like that? and What effect does the scene have/create for the viewer? I will also look at where the filming is taking place and why. Twilight can be taken seriously or as a joke. Because it is kindof saying that you need a man to live and stay safe. But really she just doesn't know haw to hold herself up alone. But like most girls she is clumsy.
i plan on deconstructing the movie Gran Torino i plan on analyzing the music in the movie how the people act and how the times have changed. The movie is a big part of change of how his neighborhood was once a middle class white neighborhood and now it is a poor asian neighborhood with much crime going on. I will look at how the way people act and what happened over the years to make it a neighborhood like it was. Also the movie deals with a large amount of race problems and how easy it is for you to fall into the wrong crowd unless you have people looking out for you. I am also going to anaylize why is the main character like the way he is. overall the movie i analyze is one of my favorites and it deals greatly with what is actully happening in the world around us today. The main character also gives up his own life to save the ones he loves and the ones he really does care about is not his family

The film I will be deconstructing in my paper is Seven Pounds. I like this movie so much because of the way it’s laid out. In the beginning, it shows something from the future and then shows what is going on in the present. Throughout the movie there are flashbacks and clues to what happens to get to the event it shows in the beginning. It’s suspenseful and because of the way it’s laid out, it draws you in and makes you want to continue watching the movie, putting together facts, until you reach the conclusion and feel that “ohhh I get it!” feeling that leaves you satisfied. The features/aspects I plan to analyze in this movie are the lighting, sequencing, music and dialogue. Since this movie is a suspense-type movie, features such as the lighting, music and sequencing can make or break the movie. I think that this movie does an excellent job of pulling them together and drawing in viewers. What message is this film conveying to the viewer? What kind of viewer will take these messages and live better or be inspired? Can movies affect, influence people permanently? Yes! In the movie Seven Pounds, Ben Thomas, played by Will Smith, searches for a way to redeem his heavy conscience after discovering he has the power to change the circumstances of seven strangers. This film, I believe, tries to convey to the viewer that no matter what your past is, and what circumstances you’re in, that you have the power to help others and change lives. Ben Thomas obviously has a rocky past, like the landscaping of his beach house overlooking the ocean, and he realizes that he can still help others, though he can’t help himself. I think that all viewers can take this message and live better and be inspired. After watching this movie, I was inspired and felt that I should go out and help someone else because I have things that others don’t and felt a need to give back. I think that many other people were inspired too because it is such a strong movie with a strong message. Not everyone will be permanently be influenced by a movie but I think that if the message of the movie is so strong and really put out there for everyone to understand, that it will make many people think hard and change.

I AM LEGEND
The film I have chosen to deconstruct is "I am Legend". This film is based during the apocolypse. A lone man is trying to find the cure to a man made virus. The virus was originally used to cure cancer victoms. The medical miracle turned into either sudden death or monstrosity. Robert Nevel (played by Will Smith) is the last man alive in New York who is immune to the virus. Robert is aided by his dog Sam given to him by his daughter. This film is great because it gives biblical allusions, suspense, and is able to relate to people all alone. Imaging yourself surrounded by a city built for thousands of people and your the only one left. The story brings sorrow as you become more familiar with the character and what he's lost. The music is sad during death and silent when all is lost. The camera makes the viewer see the clues supposely given by god in the movie. Robert learns that the world is quieter now, all he has to do is listen. The directer puts you in the movie with relatable scenes and a wonderful actor. While watching this movie you will become Robert Nevel. There is a twist in the movie when Robert runs into horrific creatures created by the desease, and when he also finds that there are others still alive. "My name is Robert Nevel. I am broadcasting on all AM and FM frequencies. I will be at the South pier everyday when the sun is at its highest. I can provide food, shelter and protection. If theres someone...anyone out there, please you are not alone". The last man alive. This is no doubt my favorite movie of all time.
The film I plan on deconstructing is forest gump. One of the things I thought would be good at deconstucting in this film would be how each character effects forrest through out the movie. Another thing I would look at deconstrucing is the events that take place in this movie. There is so many historcal events that happen in this movie that by not adding them in my paper it would take away from the movie and make a paper that really doesn't analyze the movie.
The acting in this movie is very convincing. Tom Hanks did an amazing job of portraying Forrest gump and made it seem like we were there with him and made every seen feel like the viewer was there. The geographical location in this movie very important in this movie but it changes a lot but the where the setting is in this movie is so important because almost every scene is influenced by the location and the weather.
one question I have is Why does forrest finaly get his girl in the end but she ends up passing away? It seems to me that the director really felt it necessary to add another tragic event to show how strong forrest is that he is capable of doing almost anything. What effect does the white feather have on the viewer or what is the significants? It seems to me that the feather just shows that we don't know where the wind will blow it and it relates to forest's life. He just goes with the flow and where ever life takes him he makes the most of it and is very successful because he does make the most of every situation he is given. This movie shows everyone that even though "life is like a box of chocolates and you never know what you are going to get" you need to take each situation and make the best of it.
For my film deconstruction paper, the movie that I chose was “Invincible”. I chose this particular film because it is inspirational, and a great sports film, but also a true story. The plot of the film is about how Vince Papale, a 30-year-old bartender who has never played college ball, decides to play for the NFL when the Philadelphia Eagles head coach, Dick Vermeil holds open tryouts. And to his surprise, he made the cut. And later on became one of the best Philadelphia Eagles players as he helped his Philadelphia Eagles fans and crowed rediscover the winning spirit as special-teams player. In my paper I will focus on the camera angles, symbols, setting, music that is shown. This film is a good movie because it keeps up cheering for the underdog, in this case, Vince Papale. I think that it would be better if viewed by sports fans because it is a movie about something that they like/love, and some viewers may be able to relate to Vince Papale and what he di in his lifetime. One of the main literary devices that are present in this film is flashback. Throughout the movie, he pulls out a letter from his x-wife that says that he would never succeed in life, and that he would never mount to anything, for his motivation to keep him going. Some of the clothing in the movie seem to stand out. Almost as is they are ment to be athletes. And some of the symbols that are present, are the Philadelphia Eagle shirts and jerseys that you see throughout the movie. But I think they use strange camera angles to make you feel in the moment. Like when is shows a first person view from the helmet on the field when he is running to go and make the tackle.
The movie I plan on deconstructing is Taken. I had never seen it before and I had heard that it was a wonderful movie, so I asked for it for Christmas. The first week I had it, I think I watched it every night. Of course, I never imagined that I would be analyzing and deconstructing it, but now that I think about it, I realized that there are plenty of things to analyze. Every aspect of this movie would be easy to analyze I think. In every scene, there is something that adds to the plot of the movie; the camera angles, the lighting, the order that the events occur, character's facial expressions, body language, etc. I'm excited to discover more and more things that I have not noticed before. I want to know why the father is the way he is, and do research on maybe what his background was before the events of the movie took place. I also plan on explaining how the dark settings effects the viewer, and makes the movie more suspenseful. Also how the soundtrack affects every scene and what it does for the movie as a whole. I also plan on explaining the safety of traveling in pairs and that everyone should take precautions before traveling to a different country. Not every teenage girl has a father that can track you down and beat the crap out of everyone that tries to kill him or harm his daughter. This movie made me think twice before trusting some random cute guy I meet and wonder what it would be like knowing that you could very likely die or be killed at any moment. It was a real eye-opener to me and I'm sure many more on how cruel people can be to each other and the affect of drugs and prostitution on a society.

"The Breakfast Club" is a movie based around high school stereotypes. In this essay I am going to analyze the different types of clicks in a school. I will also deconstruct the way that stereotypes can be pushed aside and people can get along with people that are not in their click. Also in this movie the principal is a very good person to deconstruct. He is to preoccupied with himself and his life to even think about the students in detention. Some of the songs in can be deconstructed due to the setting and time in the movie. To teens this is a good film because they can relate themselves to the situation. In high school there are many stereotypes just like in this movie. The actors in this movie are in the right position to be in this movie. The acting is convincing to the viewers because the actors are the right age and seem to be in the right era to be casted as characters. I don't think the characters are too good looking for this film because it shows some of them clean as the preppy/popular kids would be and the more punk/druggy kids would be more dirty or slack looking. This movie has good representation of what was actually going on in the world. This is a good movie for analyzing because in deconstructing a high school there are many things to look at. There is all the different groups to look at, how the groups interact with each other, and how the groups can break apart from just themselves to become friends with people from completely different groups. Also in this movie you see how peer pressure affects the decisions of people. Like when the jock is pressured to be like his dad so he does something very mean to another student and he feels bad about it in the end. "The Breakfast Club" is a good movie candidate for deconstruction because of all the different aspects it brings to the table.
I havn't quite decided on the movie I want to deconstuct yet but i want to choose one that i maybe havnt seen before so i dont have a pre judgement of the movie. The features i will analyze will be the camera angle and lighting as to whether they are doing it for suspence or why they use that angle and lighting. Also the soundtrack of the movie. Does the music go with whats happening? is there music at every scene change or at the juicy parts or when they play the music. Also the dialogue of the movie not only what the people say but how they say it if they have accents and many things like that. Why is she/he wearing what they are wearing. Why is that item placed in the scene like that? Questions like these i will be answering as well. What effect does the light or camera angle or background noise create for the viewer. Hopefully i will find a movie soon so i can begin deconstructing it!

I am not sure on what movie I will deconstruct for my paper, im thinking about going towards Legally Blonde. First off I could analyze when it was made, and where it was made. Second, I could analyze the camera angles and how they are using the camera. Also to see if the producer is also thinking about the viewer and how they are thinking, what they are thinking. Sometimes the camera is up in the characters face and other moments its far away from the face so you see the setting in the background. They also do this to get the views feelings, such as if it’s a dangerous place or a peaceful surrounding. Another thing I could use to analyze is what the characters are wearing and why they are wearing the outfit they are wearing. If they are wearing good clothes showing they have money, if they don’t have nice clothes you lean towards they aren’t the richest people in town. The lighting in this movie is good throughout the whole movie. There is never a time where it is dark and you cant see anything. Also the dialogue in the movie shows that just because you’re a blonde doesn’t mean you cant be what you want to be in life. I think if any person watches this movie El Woods the main character will be their role model. From this she wants to go to law school to get back together with her ex-boyfriend Warner who is currently engaged to a different girl named Vivian. This changes El and puts her to a challenge to be better person than Vivian, Warners fiance. El ends up solving a case from a old time friend. She shows Warner she isn’t the ordinary ditsy blonde people thought she was. Warners fiancé ends up breaking up with him and he is left with nothing in the end. While El is engaged to a guy she met at law school and El is best friends with Warners ex-fiancé Vivian. To me this shows a lot by not going to law school just to find that someone that has that certain special last name. Its to show people go after what you want to go for and down let people get in your way.
I plan to deconstruct the movie Cast Away starring Tom Hanks. When I first saw the movie I hated it for many reason such as the length of it, and the isolation of him not being able to interact with anyone else except what looks to be a boring, simple nothing out of the ordinary volleyball. After some thinking I understood why it was long, why he was alone on the island. It was so we the viewers can get more into touch with Tom Hanks character. We can relate to how long he has been on the island, and how alone he must have felt. This movie has so many hidden symbolic meanings which I love. That is another reason I plan to write my paper on it. I really enjoying thinking about things that seem to just be an ordinary prop or name and in the end it is really symbolic. The camera angles really give the audience an almost realistic view in most scenes on the island. There is almost never a fixed shot, the camera always moves. The soundtrack brings a lot of emotions into play which brings tears and laughter to many. The director Robert Zemeckis is well known for his work with Forrest Gump, The Polar Express, and most recent film A Christmas Carol. He is also known for his great effects that revolve around a serious story not some action packed film. I look forward to learning more about this film as I deconstruct it.
I plan on deconstructing the movie “How to Lose a Guy in 10 Days.” I will basically be analyzing the dialogue of this movie and how men and women perceive each other. In this movie it is basically a battle of the sexes. Matthew McConaughey plays Benjamin Barry who represents a cocky ladies man who thinks he knows how women think. Kate Hudsen plays Andie Anderson who represents a controlling woman that thinks she knows everything there is to know about how women should treat men. Ben tries to so called woo her into falling in love with him by doing various romantic things he thinks women want. On the other hand Andie is doing all things she thinks women do to annoy men and make men not want to be with them. Also this movie shows how people think the other sex is predictable. Andie reacts differently to any other woman Ben has used his tricks on. Also Ben reacts differently to the “flaws” Andie tries to perceive.
This film is good because it is funny. Both sexes actually do things in real life like in the movie so they can relate to a lot of what is being said and done. It almost seems like opposite sexes play a game to get what they want from the other sex. This movie shows how greedy men are to get women and how greedy women are for love. It also shows how greedy both sexes are in the workforce, doing whatever it takes to get the better job or gain more control.
There are many symbols to analyze in the movie. Andie brings Ben a “love fern” it represents their relationship. She says as the fern grows, their love will grow. Unfortunately the plant dies, this represents bad relationships that turn into good ones. Another symbol is the product Ben is selling, diamonds. Why did the screenwriter pick diamonds? Diamonds represent marriage and are known to be a women’s best friend. This leads back to men thinking they know about women. If you just get her some diamonds, she will love you?
I plan to deconstruct the movie "The Butterfly Effect." In this movie a young man is haunted by traumatic experiences from his past and he comes to realize that he has the power to go back and change what happened in those events. Although he finds this ability to be usful at first he soon finds that every bit of history that he changes effects his present life and that of those that he cares about. The film causes viewers to really think and brings up the age old question of 'If you could change you thing in your life what would it be?' The plot has hidden messages everywhere. Most veiwers can relate to and sympathize with the characters and that only aids in the suspense that the director is trying to create. The music of the movie goes along with the mood of each scene. It captures attention and sets the stage for what is unfolding. Everyone regrets things in their life and we all wish we had done some things differently, this film does an awesome job of showing that things happen for a reason and that sometimes tampering with fate only creates an even bigger problem. I cant wait to dig in and go deeper into this thrilling film.

I’m doing my essay on the movie Superbad. I’m doing it on this movie because I enjoy watching it so it’ll be easy to have to watch it over and over to analyze deeply. It’s about two best friends, Seth and Evan, who are seniors in high school. They’re not in the “popular” crowd and are hoping to lose their virginity before college. They get invited to a huge party where the girls of their dreams will be there. Trying to be the “cool guys”, they agree to bring the alcohol. Their friend Fogull gets a fake i.d. saying he’s way older than he looks and that he’s from Hawaii and has only one name…McLovin. Seth and Evan are convinced it’s not going to work but allow him to try it out because they’re pretty desperate. As Fogull is getting the alcohol, a man rushes in and robs the store. Police end up showing up and scare Seth and Evan into thinking they were there because Fogull got caught. Turns out it’s not and Fogull spends an eventful night with the police having tons of fun as Seth and Evan have an eventful night trying to get to the party with alcohol...not such a good eventful. As the story goes on the best friends hit some speed bumps in their friendship but in the end they know they will be best friends for life. This movie is about growing up and having to go through leaving everything you know behind. They are going through the troubles of having to be separated by going to different colleges. Going through the last few days they have together having the best times of their lives. Live life to the fullest and always live for the present.
The movie that I am going to deconstruct is The Pursuit of Happyness. I am going to analyze the music used in the film, the characters chosen for the film, and how well the acting really puts a vise grip on the viewer to really connect with the characters in the movie and relate to the issue. I think this movie is brilliant and real. The main character splits the movie into chapters and expresses the main emotion that goes with each chapter. This movie also shows how every little thing that happens really has an effect on how the plot turns out. Everything happens for a reason and means something in this movie. That can be related to life as well. I believe the acting in this movie is very convincing. Will Smith does an excellent job playing his role in this film. He shows so many real emotions that grabs the viewer and makes them sympathize for, laugh with, and at times maybe cry with at times. The message that is made from this movie is that even though someone is less fortunate than you, it does not mean that they are less sophisticated or driven. The viewers who have a dream to work towards or have worked hard for the life that they have now can relate to this movie because life is full of ups and downs and the ones who overcome this are the ones who appreciate success the most and do not take anything for granted. I believe this movie can influence someone permanently because even when something seems impossible or out of reach, by seeing this movie, it could give them hope and the strength to keep surviving the fight. This movie shows the viewer that many people have it far worse than others do. Even when they're backs are against the wall, they keep moving on.
Why is the struggle of each day shown? I believe the struggle is shown for the main character and his son because it adds emotion and effects the viewer to connect with the people in the movie and feel what they feel.
What effect does the music create for the viewer? The music in this movie matches the pace or feeling of what is happening. When the movie is a depressing part, the music is soft and quiet. But when the movie picks up in pace or becomes a happy feeling, the music becomes faster or gradually grows because of the uncontainable ecstasy that floods out of every breath the viewer and the character takes.
I think I am going to deconstruct Pursuit of Happyness. The camera work in it adds suspense because it shows you what it wants to show you. You want to see more at sometimes but you can not control what they show you. The lighting is bad when things in his life go bad. It is a symbolic part of the movie! He is struggling with life, work, and his wife. Its dark during this time and also when they are homeless. A part that I didn’t notice at first is when they are in the night house the lights get shut off. It shows that he has no control. But when he gets the internship the lighting is a lot better. Pace is a huge part of this movie. He is running everywhere he goes, he is running through life, it shows how bad he is struggling also. Some of the dialogue is not needed but it is also comic relief because he is struggling through life and you start to feel down because he is struggling. When he calls his wife to see if she can pick of their son the camera focuses right on him, it makes you think about what he is thinking and you want to try to help him figure out what to do when his wife acts like she isn’t going to get him. A HUGE theme in this video is parking tickets. Just like in “no country for old men” the transition was milk, in this its parking tickets because no matter what he gets a ticket. He even had someone else’s car. Why is the dads name Chris and the son Christopher? I think this could show that if Chris doesn’t change how he has his child grow up then Christopher could be in the same boat that’s why Chris tries so hard to keep his life easy going and tries to provide him with the best. Christopher effects the view because you see him bouncing from place to place and running and losing his toy that was his safety net.
I am choosing to deconstruct the movie "She's the Man" for my essay. I think it's a great film because it portrays the stereotypical views of males and females. The film is revolved around a girl who is bound and determined to prove to everyone she is good enough to make the boys soccer team, eventhough she was told males are faster, stronger, more athletic, and all around better. While working hard to make the team her mom is forcing her to be a debutante. Her friends support her and turn her into her twin brother, whom is in London for the time being and also going to a different school, in order to fool everyone. While arriving she can't blow her cover. She meets the "hottest" girl in school and really connects with her on an understanding level because she knows what its like to be in womens shoes obviously. When the big game approaches her story was leaked and was forced to tell everyone the truth. The players and coach from her current school were accepting and surprisingly happy. The soundtrack to this movie is upbeat and motivational to get the viewers excited about what they are seeing. But also, it has soft soothing music for some more romantic scenes. The camera works with all angles to give us a feel of what the characters are seeing instead of us watching them the whole time. The viewers may wonder why society perfers the male dominant way of life and this movie makes you think of that factor. I think this is the perfect movie because everyone especially athletes have the same problems. Me being a girl athlete, I always get a hard time because girls basketball isn't as intense or as skilled as boys basketball. I hear it daily and it does get annoying but we all learn to accept it. I wonder why the people saying these things aren't in basketball themselves. Everyone has their opinions of sports but don't degrade a sport by its gender.
The Hannah Montana Movie was one of the most successful television show-to-movie films. Dan Berendsen (Writer of The Hannah Montana Movie) brilliantly brought elements from the television show into the movie. More times than not the movie will stray away from themes portrayed in the television show, a great example is when Miley Cyrus was going to Lilly’s birthday party. All of the characters in the television show were somehow in the movie, most of them brought together in this scene. From this movie also comes the hit single song The Climb, and the single Hoedown Throwdown. Hoedown Throwdown was the first of the two to appear in the song. It was a way to get the community where she was staying to see a different, and more social, side of her. The second song to appear in the film, The Climb, is at the end of the Movie when Miley exposes the other half of herself. Miley got fed up with all of the secrets and decided to show everyone in Crowley Corners (the town she was staying in) who her alter ego was. This was then when Miley sang The Climb, to show everyone in the town, through musical expression, that you have to keep going no matter how tough times are. This song makes a person think no matter what everything will eventually be okay. Not only did this movie produce 2 very successful songs, it also made Miley Cyrus win the Teen Choice Award for Choice Movie Actress: Music/Dance and the MTV Movie Award for Best Song for a Movie with The Climb. There were also many other Nominations for Teen Choice Awards and MTV Movie Awards. This movie got bad reviews from most critics, but it still grossed a total of $155 million, making this movie a better success than critics predicted. It just goes to show that if you get a very large fan base with a television show, that fan base will also follow you if you make a movie.

I think I’m am going to deconstruct Bring It On the first on. It is a great movie I think I like it so much because I can relate to it since I am a cheerleader, I enjoy an movie that has to do with cheering and this film is mainly about competition cheerleading. The Bring It On movies that come after the original go away from the original concept of actually competition which I didn’t like so much, they were not as real to me. The movie did have quiet a bit of flaws however many of the stunts performed were illegal for high school level cheer squads. In high school their has to be a coach supervising the cheerleaders you couldn’t only have a captain that’s in high school. However I do think they did do a good job at showing how much work it takes to come up with a routine and how much time is put into learning new stunts and getting ready to compete. With out watching the film yet I cant remember specific camera angles. I think the characters act like they should they do a good job at not being the over stereotypical cheerleader type which is a nice change in movies. The Choreographer Sparky is a real jerk and that’s really realistic because that is how a lot of chorographers we deal with are, not necessarily to his extent but they don’t deal with much. I like how this film shows another side of cheerleader that isn’t the jumping up and down yelling Go Team! That most people think that’s all cheerleading is and its not. The music in this film is very up beat is goes with the film since this film is dancing and cheering . There is a lot of songs at the cheer competitions. There is no violence or strong intimacy in the movie because its not needed. It would take away from the main story line of the film. There is a small scene were Torense’s boyfriend Erin wakes up in bed with another girl but nothing is shown and they needed too show that so you can see for yourself that he is a cheater. This movie overall is very good and I recommend it if you have never seen it and want and easy going movie.

Im choosing to decontruct the movie "Invincible." I mainly chose this film on purpose because i am a huge Eagles fan and the story has a great story line to how an amatuer philly blue collar tries out for the Philadelphia eagles which is funny how Vince Papale has no college football experience and makes the cut to play in the NFL. The Movie takes place in the old historical town of Philadelphia, Pennsyvannia during the midst of the seventies. Philadelphia was going through a financial depression not only in its industrial labor where hundreds were let go of their job but the town's football pride of the Philadelphia Eagles began to crumble. Hoping to find relief in finding some new talent the Philadelphia Eagles held open tryouts; Vince Papale was motivated by his friends in trying out and giving it a chance. Although he shows great athletic ability playing some scrounge backyard football with his buddies, the NFL turned out to be a whole new world to him. He is down-sized by the team-mates at practices and physically beaten in live games. He may have made the tryouts look easy and may have felt invincible but it goes to show it was going to take far more effort in his new job as a kickoff specialist. The theme to this movie i believe what they mean by invincible is that you can do anything you put your mind to and there is no one who can stop you. Dedication and determination makes you invincible and Vince Papale soon later understands the concept. By working as hard as he could and in tackling drills proving he could take out someone bigger than him proves to himself/teamates that he is worthy to play for the team. Dick Vermeil sees his work ethics and thats why he believes in him and gives him the chance he needed to succeed. The film is briliant, the seventies style to show the period of time and the great old american boy whos dream came true to play for his favorite NFL team, that is something i would have loved to do was to be given the chance vince had and to give it my all proving i was worthy to be in the NFL.
i will be deconstructing my all time favorite movie "i now pronounce you chuck and larry." This movie will be easy for me to deconstruct because i have seen it so many times and on top of that i would love to see it many more times! The thing i love most about the movie is the persona the characters take. the two main characters are firefighters in new york city, the two are best friends, and before every burning building they go into they repeat the line "going in alive, coming out the same way." Larry is a widow who is still trying to deal with the loss of his wife and chuck is a player in every sense of the word. Larry needs chuck to become his domesticated partner so chuck would take care of the kids if larry dies. The characters are briliantly played out Larry is the big lovable guy who cant really get that much play, whereas Chuck is the pimp who couldnt stay away from girls if he wanted to. i am going to analyze the hidden meaning in this movie, it is about acceptance and about showing the world and the manliest men can be gay, later on in the movie the big black firefighter who was once thought to be an ax murderer turns out to be gay, and he loves to sing in a sweet tone in the shower. After a gay party some of the attendees are getting harrassed in the parking lot and chuck the masculine man who in the beginning of the film was using rude terms to describe gay people is actually standing up for them, because he feels their pain even though he isnt actually gay he is getting treated as one. Another good thing about this movie which appeals to alot of americans is even though it is about homoesexuals there is no scenes of extreme intimacy between the homosexuals which was a very important thing because if the director would have put that in there alot of americans would have been turned off by it and thought it was too much. I do believe this film follows whats going on in the real world because really for the past decade there has been many debates whether or not homosexuals should be allowed to become legal partners, and if so can they do it for legal benefits. This movie plays right along that. The only flaw that this movie has in my opinion is the ending, in the end the counsel finds that chuck and larry were lying about their partnership for legal issues, and instead of having lawyers come in and work out a deal the head counselor comes in and basically lets them go for free, because the gay people outside are rioting. Why is larry so big and lovable? doing this lets us know how much he cared for his deceased wife, and his kids. The effect of having chuck be a playboy is to show how deep and important a friendship can meen to some people.
I plan on doing my essay on the Disney movie The Toy Story. The main thing that sticks out to me about the movie is the way the characters are portrayed. For instance, Sid the bully is the classic teenager. He is the gothic punk kid that is the stereotypical teenager. The dinosaur is the stupid guy because dinosaurs are stereotypically dumb because they have small brains. The buff doll is a typical “bro”, he uses his muscles instead of his brain. If a problem ever arises the first thing he does is move something out of the way, or lift something. Buzz is the new and improved doll that thinks he is better than everyone else simply because he is newer. This movie is a classic story with the moral of “Treat everyone how you want to be treated”. Disney does a great job of getting this message to young people who are watching this movie. Subliminally they are going to nice to fellow kids, and maybe even their toys. I think this movie holds more messages just waiting to be found. I have to watch it once or twice more to uncover them. Disney puts messages in their films. They make it cute and clever so young kids watch it and are entertained, but they are also making kids learn as they watch. They learn how to act and how not to act. I will look more into camera angles and dialog as the essay gets closer.
Even though other people are analyzing the same film, i have been kind of planning on doing this film from the get go. The film i plan to analyze and deconstruct on is the popular movie "the hangover". One thing the creators of the hangover did really good was capturing the attention of the viewer in the beginning. One way the accomplish this effect is with the excellent camera angles. When Stewert awakens in the expensive suite, the camera follows his face closely through his painfull realization of what may have happened the previous night. Also the producers include things in this scene that add too the viewers wondering thoughts of the previous night such as a tiger, chicken, and even a baby. The baby is clever and ironic in its own way. Its funny due to the fact that the characters in the movie have just stumbled upon an extreme responsibility, taking care of a baby, when they clearly can not take care of themselves as adults. It's funny and ironic to the movie goers. Also after the extreme hangover scene occurs, the movie begins to show flashbacks of the mysterious night which is a definite hook to the viewers. When i began to see the flashbacks, i knew that this movie was about to take me on a crazy adventure.
The right usage of music is crucial in movies these days. Music helps contribute to the movie by setting the scene and getting louder as the action increases or softer as the action decreases. Music really ties the viewer in with the movie, especially if they can relate to certain songs or tunes in their own life. They include the Songs "Yah!" by Usher, and "Who let the Dogs Out", which is a great choice when showing a fast action scene, also, pretty much all viewers have heard and can relate to the song one way or another. I suppose this movie is such a successful hit for a couple reasons: They initially hook the viewer in the begining of the movie,then work backwards from that. Also, who dosn't want to have an awseome bachelor's party like Doug's?? I know i would'nt mind one half that extreme. Soo too answer your question of Why is ______ like that? and What effect does___________ have/ create for the viewer? I believe one big aspect in this movie is the setting of Vegas. I mean we all know the legends of Vegas such as "what happens in Vegas... Stays in vegas". Its the perfect setting for an over the top night. Anything and everything will happen, theres no boundaries. It just leaves an open window for the directors to be creative.
I have not chosen a movie for sure. But I'm leaning towards Friday Night Lights, Angels in the Outfield, or The Proposal. The reason I haven't decided yet is because I want to choose a movie that I feel strongly about and feel satisfied with my decision.. I'm leaning towards either Friday Night Lights or The Proposal. Friday Night Lights is shot very interesting. It is about a football team that loses their star player and has to overcome that. It almost makes you sick to watch in the theaters. The lighting is also more black and white although it's still in color. There is less saturation. The soundtrack has a few songs by known artists, but most of the songs were made for the movie by a composer and sound the same. They have an interesting sound to them. The movie is set in Texas and relates to football. The boys have a Texan accent and also talk as teenage boys do. Also in the end I find it amazing that they don't win.. I think this film will mean a lot more to me after I analyze it. Everyone feels like heartache of loss and injury in their life at some point. I think that this movie, like Remember the Titans has more than message to send out to viewers. It is true that these teams don't win in the end, but maybe they win something else? In Friday Night Lights they lose their star player and have to come together as a team and prove to their town that they can still be a winning football team. In Remember the Titans, the team overcomes racial differences and gains friendship. Lifelong things like that can heal the pain of a loss. I think that is what I will decide to deconstruct. It is also one of my favorite sports team movies, although I would like to see them win eventually but they never will. The Proposal was my other option. It shows the opposite sexes and their roles in society. Margaret Scott is a editor - in - chief at Colden Books who's visa has expired and she must marry her assistant to stay in the country. Funny thing is that Margaret is considered a bitch by most of her employees. While being investigated by the United States government, the two go to Alaska and try to pull a fake wedding, and fall in love in the process. I think the dialogue and the roles of the genders in this movie would be best to deconstruct. I guess I will have to watch my options and decide what would work best.

The movie I plan to analyze is The Hurt Locker. I watched this movie about a week ago and it has become one of my favorite war movies of all time. I am a fan of this movie because it seems as real as it gets and its nonstop action that has you on the edge of your chair wondering whats going to happen next. This film about is about a company that is reaching the final days of their tour in Iraq. They are apart of a Bomb Tech squad and their job is to seek and disarm all kinds of different explosives that Iraqi insergents put together. The vantage points in this movie are amazing they always have you in the action, whether looking down a scope about ready to snipe the enemy or in the suit disarming a bomb that an Iraqi could set off at anytime. Some of the events in this movie really make me feel like I take advantage of my freedom and dont realize how good i have it. I believe this is what the purpose of the movie is, to show what its really like over there and how you never know when its your time to leave. It also makes me wonder how someone could put themself in that suit right next to a bomb that could blow them to nothing. Or does the military really brain wash these people, like many say they do, to get them to do some of these breathe taking events. I am excited to deconstuct this movie because it is a movie that really puts everything in perspective for me.

I’m in the process of picking a movie, but one option that I am considering would be the movie House Bunny. This is one of my favorites because it is very funny and entertaining and I picked it because of that and because I know it inside and out. Another reason I chose this movie to deconstruct is because it can relate to our society. We have the male fantasy women, popular girls, and the non-so popular girls. This is entertaining because we watch how the Zetas, non popular girls go through the stage of becoming beautiful. They have to become beautiful because they are losing their charter and don’t get any pledges because they are living across the street from the sorority of Phi Iota Mu, the popular prep girls. And finally Shelly who use to be a playboy bunny but she got had to leave, and found the Zetas and wanted to be their house mother. Shelly is an expert of parties and boys, and transforms them to being beautiful. Zetas parade around campus showing everyone else how hot they are, and the reactions they get from people and boys is very disturbing. This is showing that women have to look a certain way to get noticed. I will also be adding the analyzing of the soundtrack and why they use what song and why they use the song in the scene. Also the camera work and lighting and why they do certain scenes to make it the best way they could to get their point across. On our Film Deconstruction Paper, one bullet is the question is the music effective? The music is effective, it defiantly sets the mood the lyrics are relevant to the action or the mood that the movie is portraying. The music doesn’t give too much away, it just enough to get the point across. The message in this film is conveying to the viewer is that you shouldn’t have to look a certain way and act and do things to be popular. At the end of the movie the girls come to a conclusion of it doesn’t matter what they look like or where they come from. While deciding who they should join their sorority they were basing their decisions on what they look like and when they came from. But after a few events in the movie they figure out that it doesn’t matter and that everyone deserves a chance and they would draw to pick to have them to join their sorority. The kind of viewer that will probably take the message and live better or be inspired by it would maybe be the women or girls that will watch the movie and that will make some of them believe that they don’t have to act stupid or dress and be a certain way to get attention and be popular. Movies might have an effect or influence people permanently. People might go out threw their lives and think about things differently and how they act and teat other people. Why is the social acceptance like that? Because society portrays women to act and be a certain way to have men and other people accept them. Not only people to accept them but as the society as a whole. What effect does Shelly have and create for the viewer? Shelly creates this bond with the viewer from the beginning, because it explains her childhood and how she didn’t have a family and nobody wanted her and as she got older and became more beautiful she was then becoming a playboy bunny. As she got kicked out and was a house mother for the Zetas, and then got a phone call from Heff for her to come back and be a centerfold, but she decided against it because she found that there is more to life than being a playboy bunny and have low self esteem. She now has a better life.

I plan on deconstructing the movie "Baby Mama" because Amy Poehler and Tina Fey are hilarious and bring alot of excitement and entertainment to the film. The main aspect of this movie I will be deconstructing the furthest and in more depth is the dialogue. These two funny, spunky, famous actresses work together extraoridarily because they have worked together in the past on Saturday Night Live and have great chemistry.
The whole concept of having a surrogate is interesting and enlightening for some viewers because it's not something you see or hear about people doing everyday. Amy brings life to the film by being someone you would not normally expect to be a surrogate and making it comical. They are both youngish actresses that love what they do and do it well. This film was a hit when it came out and still is because of the enthusiasm. I am a huge fan of Amy and Tina in every movie they star in, and I think they brought alot of the attention to this film. The dialogue and plot made a big impact and are the more important points I will be deconstructing for this movie.
I am planning on deconstructing the intricate ideas and symbols present in the film ‘The Green Mile.’ This film can be taken anywhere the viewer would like… I plan on deeply analyzing and decomposing the ideas of the death penalty, it is even yet today a hot political topic and I would be more than happy to state my very much liberal opinion on the matter. I plan on taking the humanistic perspective of the death penalty and backing up why I believe it is wrong with strong hard evidence, yet not taking away any meaning from the actual film itself. Also, I plan to address, what I have come to believe, the distinct metaphor to bulimia that the film presents. The way I see it is that the large black man, who is known to have superhuman healing power, takes it upon himself to absorb other peoples’ pain and troubles as his own and literally ‘purging’ them out in the form of a fly like mass…the same way a bulimic would suffocate emotion that they have taken from themselves and others and stuff all that feeling down as far as it can go, then release everything in relief…..The style and cinematography in The Green Mile is spectacular!! The camera angles and lighting more than add effect to the movie but give it, or the viewer, an up close and personal view on the situation to add emphasis or to make a point. Another symbolic piece I thought added much character and also possibly comic relief to some viewers.. Mr. Jingles, the tiny mouse that the guards initially make an attempt to kill. The inhabitants of the green mile, though, become very fond of the small little creature, symbolizing the loneliness that the men there face, they are willing to take in a mouse, also displaying how desperate they are to mean something in the world, even if that is to a simple mouse.
the movie i am going to be deconstructing is madagascar escape to africa. i love this movie because of how they make the characters They follow how the animals are in real life. they make the lion the biggest toughest guy. they show how a group of animals can escape from a zoo and make it all the way to madagascar. and then make all these friends that try to help them get back. This movie is for anyone of age. any person can easily fall in love with this movie. it has action and in a way some thrilling scenes like when they are about to crash land. it shows some love when he finely reunites with his mom and dad. it has every possible feature. Anger, love, hate, happiness, and joy. The biggest one that the movie shows is friendship. the most important thing in life other then your family is friends. it has 4 best friends with all different kinds of attitudes. Alex the lion is smart and a the king of New York. Malvin is a dumb looking giraffe with big teeth. Gloria is a overly large hippo that is just curious. and marty is just a happy as can be zebra. in escape to africa they all find something marty finds a bunch of zebras that are just like him and make him realize he is not unique. malvin realizes how much he is in love with gloria. and alex meets his family for the first time after being lost. Gloria trys to find a man moto moto. i think with all the different characters and moods i will be able to analyze this easily
I decided to deconstruct Twlight. Some of the features I plan to deeply analyze are to why the film is good/to whom it is good, does it have any unanswered questions, symbols present, literary devices, weather, and camera angles. Twlight is a great movie because it draws you in. It makes you care about the characters and get involved in the movie. I think most girls like this movie because Edward is like a prince charming. Even though he is not human he still cares about Bella even though she is “normal/average”. All girls want to be treated great and get cared for the way Edward does for Bella. I know I sure would. A few times in this movie you can foreshadow about what is going to happen. Especially since Alice can see into the future helps you predict what might occur soon. Without Alice it would be more difficult to predict what was going to happen. The weather is VERY important to the film. It had to take place in a town where it rained a lot and wasn’t very sunny. Vampires cannot be out in the sun because it exposes themselves to what their skin looks like. And since the Cullens are trying to blend in without people knowing they are vampires Forks was the place to be since it hardly ever had any sun shine. In the book in rained a ton so they had to film this movie in a place where it rained a lot too because it would be hard to make a place look like it was raining if it wasn’t really for real. The film Twlight follows very closely to the book. There is not much of a difference from the two. I like when directors do this because it’s not disappointing when somethings is way off from the book. The acting is very good in this film. Edward is very handsome in the film but that is because he is suppose to be. The Cullen’s are suppose to be overly beautiful and perfect because thats how “vampires” are portrayed, in the book and in the film. Bella’s actress is perfect because she looks like an average person, not too ugly but not too overly beautiful either. She looks like someone you could see in your own school unlike the Cullen’s who look more like models then students. There are sequels to this film. New Moon is currently in theaters right now about to come out on DVD soon. The one that is coming out this summer is Ellipse. I haven’t read or seen New Moon yet but hopefully I will soon. I’m hoping that Edward would finally realize he cant live without Bella and make her into a vampire. That way they can be together FOREVER! :)
The movie I am thinking of deconstructing is “Eagle Eye.” The best parts of this movie are the unpredicted twists and the camera work used to tie scenes together. In this film, there are many transitions between the government and the two citizens used to break the system. This film is definitely reflecting on what was/ is still going on in the world today. There are thoughts of a governmental take-over, the health care bill somewhat simulates this. Also, it is trying to convince you that the government is corrupt and it is up to the American citizens to fix what decades of bad decisions have produced. This film has some sort of agenda by telling the “citizen soldiers” what needs to be done, when and how to do it to keep America free. I don’t believe that the actions portrayed in this movie distract from the story; in fact, I think that they actually make the story easier to understand and adds another side to the story that is hard to pick up without help. Also, I think that this film has a “novel-like” plot. This film starts out giving background information about each of the main characters, the “citizen soldiers”, then moves on to what is wrong with the government and what has to be done to put the government system back to what it was intended to be 230 years ago. Why is the government portrayed like that, as evil, corrupt? In my opinion, it is to show that even in this “perfect” country, there are flaws and corruption that could lead to the destruction of not just our nation, but our world. Since this movie starts out overseas in the Middle East, it becomes not just a national movie, but a global phenomenon. What effect does the predator (unmanned aircraft) have on the viewer? At the beginning of the film, when the aircraft is used to bomb the suspected terrorists, it is used to protect the American citizens, but as the film continues, the secret government computer is using it to destroy American’s lives and the infrastructure of the country.
i plan on deconstructing the film The Fast and the Furious. i will analyze the soundtrack, the pacing, the camera work, and the lighting of this film. this film has alot that can be analyzed. i think that it will be easy to analyze because it is somthing that any of us can and could relate to, street racing. though its illegal most/all of us have done it, except in the movie the cars are tricked out especially for racing and to win the racers money. one scene that i will analyze deeply is when they viewers are first introduced to the black dodge charger kept in vin deisels garage. they light that scene perfectly, every inch of that car is shining and looks brand new so you get the effect that he truly is afraid of that car and has only been workin on it and hasnt been driving it since he has put in into that garage. i will also do a good part on anayzing the soundtrack, while watching the movie you will notice that the fast paced clips are matched with fast paced songs that keep you focused on the movie.the music is also slow paced and mysterious for the scenes that are mysterious. the anaysis of the movie can even start before you start watching it, you can start analyzing it when you see the cover, the cover has a car on it but it is kind of blurry, as if though the car is so fast that they couldnt even get a decend picture to take for the cover shot, so then that picture matches up with the title of the move "The Fast and the Furious". the film starts out with the main character (Paul Walker) driving his car in an empty parking lot, he is practicing for drag racing and he is seeing how well his car can hold up on the track. the scene shows him taking off and goin until he is at 150 mph and then he spins out of control, this scene is tellin the viewers right from the start that he can not only not handle his car but he cant handle his car at those kinds of speeds. those speeds are a key factor in drag racing, the person who can reach the higher speed faster is the winner, without the high speed and the control you will lose, and for these racers if they loose they can loose money, their cars, or their lives. winning is everyting for these drivers, they will do anything they have to to win.
The movie that im going to be doing for the deconstructing essay would be "Juno". This movie as everyone suspects is just serious, but its not, it has alot of funny parts in it also. In the middle of the movie; the camera has the whole picture on her ultrasound that she's holding up, i belive they did that for us to think "oh cute!" maybe comic relief, or just to break the seriousness of the problem, also in this movie they have a serious adoptive mother who worries all the time about the baby, why did they do that? I belive they did that to forshadow what happens in the end with the marriage, which leads to a divorce because of all the stress of the baby. For this movie, the teenager juno, isnt just a normal everyday teenager, she dresses unusual and acts differently then most of us would think typical, they could of done that to show/let teenagers know that this could happen to anyone, not just preps or the popular girls, to maybe help us make the right devcisons down the road. During the movie they make you think she’s going to change her mind, to keep you interested to watch untill the end, they put conflict at the end also to keep us watching, but right before it ends she keeps to her promises that she made, which also helps us relize maybe we two should keep to our promises. The last thing I think in this movie that caught my attention was when in the beginning when she found out she was pregnant, how they put her trying to “hang” herself with a candy rope, I belive that helped with comic relief also, yet again get the seriousness out, untill the next scene. This is a really good movie because if you really break it down it has many powerfull messages.

I think that I will be deconstructing the movie, The Hangover. I would choose avatar but i wont be able to dish out the cash necessary to go to it over and over again. The soundtrack is a very big feature of this film. It leads you to the high parts of the movie and the funny parts. In the intro when the music builds to the climax the fountains shoot in Las Vegas which really sets the tone for the movie. Also on the drive in when Kanye West's song Can't Tell Me Nothin plays it leads you too believe that this will be a crazy night. The music is very helpful but almost annoying there are only a few parts in the movie where the music does not tell you that soemthing funny or revolutionary is about to happen like when they realize that Doug is on the roof. If the music wasnt always playing like in No Country For Old Men it would be alot funnier and would build more suspense and would make this movie a double threat in a senses. This film is good for the younger generation that see's the humor in going out and marrying a random girl while in Vegas. Most parents wouldnt like that because they believe that is moraly incorrect and grew up when that would have been a terrible thing to do. Not that it is a great thing to do in our generation but it's not unheard of like it was when they were growing up. I think there are many events of foreshadowing one example being the last name of "Dr. Faggot". His last name is Price when they check into the hotel, if this isnt foreshadowing to how the trip will end up being a little more expensive than planned i dont know what would be. Another is when Stu and his girlfriend talk about strippers at the begining and then Stu ends up marrying a stripper with a baby. If any message was conveyed in this movie i would say it would've been the fact that you shouldnt take ruffy's or floories as they call it in the movie.
I am torn between the Disney films Ratatouille and Madagascar. I am going to be analyzing many things about the movie I end up picking. Obviously the plot of the movie will be deconstructed intensely, and along with that, the soundtrack and sequencing will be deconstructed just as much. Another main feature of a movie is the characters. In Ratatouille some of the main characters are shockingly enough. . .rats. Their names are Remy and his older and less ingenious brother Emile. The other main Characters consist of a brilliant but dead Chef named Gusteau, a young clueless trash boy Linguini, the beautiful and cuisine talented Colette, a paranoid snooty Skinner, and lastly the extensively hard to please Ego. All of these characters add their own, shall we say, flavor into the movie. Also they are all able to be deconstructed well. QUESTIONS FROM THE HANDOUT-- I chose to answer the very first couple questions and move one from there. Why is this film good? This film is not just good but great! It gives the American viewer a sense of adventure to Paris. It also holds a good underlying moral that kids will see but not know that they are learning. It says that size doesn't matter; and just because some one or something is different doesn't mean that they are unable to achieve the same things as anyone else.
To whom is it good? This film is good to a wide range of people. Obviously it specifically appeals to families. Disney makes a great amount of wonderful family movies that are easy enough for the children to understand but also have underlying entertainment for the adults.
What questions does it leave unanswered? In Most Disney movies they don't leave many questions unanswered because the movies are for kids and kid movies generally end with a happy ending :) All questions answered blatantly and simply. Things can't be to complicated for Disney movies, otherwise they wouldn't be popular among the kids.
Do characters look like they should? Yes very much so. Melman from Madagascar gangly and awkward what better animal than a giraffe can play that, with their long seemingly endless neck. Not only does he look like he should, his voice is a perfect match, nasally and worried, the voice played by David Schwimmer
The movie I plan to deconstuct is Shawshank Redemption. This is a jaw-dropping movie about an innocent man(Andy Dufresne) being put into prison for life for murdering his wife, a crime which he did not commit and his quest to escape the prison. The camera work is excellent because it puts you in the perspective of what it would be like to be a prisoner in jail. The lights in the movie are often dimmed because the director wanted to show that prison is a scary and unnormal place. The film seems fast paced but really takes place over quite a few years. The characters in the film do not really seem to be "bad guys" as prisoners are somewhat correctly stereotyped. They seem to be simple guys that realize that they are stuck in prison and are trying to make the best of it. In the film Andy Dufresne learns alot of life lessons from famous actor Morgan Freemen who plays as Red. Red commited a murder crime in his teen years of his life and is in prison for life. Red is somewhat of a christ-like figure in the sense of everyone follows him. Red and the rest of the prisoners help Andy Dufresne escape prison and earn back his freedon which was wrongfully taken from him.

The film that I decided to deconstruct is “Eagle Eye” staring Shia LaBeouf and Michelle Monaghan. This movie is about a slacker who has an over achiever as an older brother. After his older brother who he never talks to dies, strange things start to happen to Jerry Shaw. A strange voice calls him and said the cops our on there way and to do what she says. This movie is very entertaining and keeps you at the edge of your seat. Eagle Eye is very suspenseful and you never know what’s going to happen next. At the beginning of the movie you have no idea what it’s all about but as you watch it the movie gives you clues. At the end of the movie you finally figure everything out, that’s what I love so much about these movies. There are little clues in the movie that show you what’s going on but you don’t actually get what it has to do with the movie. In Eagle Eye, there is a bomb put on a trumpet, and the trumpet is Rachel’s sons. You didn’t know that at the beginning of the movie and why she was even pick by the women’s voice. She was portrayed as an average woman, not looking for any trouble. The voice seems to know everything. It gives you the feeling of who is behind this, what is being planned, why Jerry and Rachel? I will also construct that this is also a somewhat silly movie. Can a computer actually control every mobile phone, unmanned fighter jet, unmanned cranes? Better yet can a computer kill a man by knocking down snapped electrical wires with pin point accuracy, I think not. This movie may be somewhat silly and impossible to actually happen but it can still be a fun movie to watch.

I am deconstructing the movie "Walk the Line." Because?...well i love johnny cash and his music. Find that weird? ...Maybe..probably just because Johnny Cash was an older man when i grew up, and today, you wouldnt find johnny cash as teens most favorite artist. His music is definatley different. His genre was listed as country, but i dont think thats quite it, there's something different about it. I own the soundtrack to this movie, and love it!
This movie is based on Johnny Cash - one of the most influential musicians of the 20th century. This movie is based on his entire life. From his childhood to his first record making, and his romance with june carter the love of his life. So, this movie just insnt about Johnny Cash its about June's also. The movie begins with an exterior shot of folsom state prison in 1968. A bunch of inmates cheering for johny cash to come on stage, as Johnny cash is sitting back stage and staring at the table saw, reminding him of his brother jack's death. After this the movie goes back in time to 1944, and begins telling Johnny R. Cash's life story.
The Character's in this movie are very convincing. They're wearing the right clothes for the time period. The overalls, blouses,and "doll" dresses are what people wore back then and thats why it fits the time period.Joaquin Phoenix is the perfect character as Johnny Cash- a quiet figure with a deep voice. Reese Witherspoon, ( playing as June Carter in the film ) is perfect for her character. She's gorgeous, with a sassy attitude, just as june carter is.
The music in this movie is very effective, just because most of the music is what johnny cash wrote him self, and this movie explains why he wrote this song. Some are from his childhood when jack died, also about the airforce ( where he got the song Folsom Prison), some about his romance with june carter, also the fact that johnny lived in the depression period- that inspired alot of his songs.

I haven't completely decided what movie I will be deconstructing, but I am leaning towards Enchanted. I love this movie, I've seen it a numerous number of times. I'm going to be analyzing what a "happy ending" really is. Also, the ways people act to strange things. Such as the American customs that people are so infatuated with. For example people have a set idea of how long you need to date. But after meeting a fairytale character you realize you don't need all that time to know if someones right for you. What effect does the songs have on the viewer? The songs add some refreshment to the movie. We love happy songs, and when she sings randomly it also adds humor to the movie, and seeing everyones reactions to her singing. So, this soundtrack has a lot to do with Amy Adam's songs that she sings throughout the movie all about love, and taking chances. This movie at first appealed to just younger girls, but after seeing it, you realized it targeted women of all ages. The actors are picked wonderfully, with Patrick Dempsey, James Marsden, and Amy Adams. The movie isn't cheesy, like many thought it would be. It has an amazing message, and makes every girl believe their dreams do come true! I will also analyze why this is considered a "chick flick". Why don't men like these types of movies, and why do they refuse to even watch them? And why did they choose New York as the setting? Those are the main questions I will be analyzing when I deconstruct!
For my deconstruction essay I chose to deconstruct the Pixar movie Toy Story; I decided to deconstruct this Pixar classic because not only does it appeal to the inner-child in everyone, but it discusses various social issues, such as: violence, a sense of belonging, and the theory of Humanism. Throughout this film, when action is taking place, it never takes away from the plot that is occurring because it is the action that moves the film along; doing so, allows the movie to pick up from the slower parts and helps build the action until the climax. Another aspect I will be looking at is the different literary devices being used throughout this animated classic. An example of a literary device is a framing device used; during the beginning of the movie, Woody (Tom Hanks) is on a reconnaissance mission during Andy’s birthday party to see what new toys he would receive. Andy receives Buzz Lightyear (Tim Allen) which sets off the feud between the two toys. In the ending scene, Buzz and Woody are on a similar reconnaissance mission but during Christmas; the two toys hear a bark from the living room suggesting that Andy’s family has received a family dog. The toys are shown with a surprised expression also suggesting that they are worried about being replaced as Woody was worried about being replaced by Buzz. “Why is this film good?” I believe that this movie is a classic because of how it gets on a personal level with the audience; the superior voice-acting and emotional music helps the audience feel that they are actually a toy in Andy’s toy collection; in this film, the music plays a huge part in portraying the feelings and actions of the protagonists. The classic song, “You Got a Friend in Me”, tells both Woody’s and Buzz’s trust and friendship growing with both Andy and each other. Another question that I will answer is “Why is Sid, the evil adolescent that wins Buzz and Woody in a crane game, the way he is?” This is shown throughout the movie with subtle hints; one is how Sid is constantly amused with blowing up toy soldiers with fireworks. Many viewers can relate to this because many men have done this as an adolescent; also if the viewer is quick enough, they are able to see a human silhouette target with bullet holes in it. Again, many viewers can relate to this because many people have owned a type of pellet gun or BB gun they use for target practice. With all of these literary devices, symbols, and connections to the audience, it is no wonder why Pixar has made two sequels to this famous Pixar movie.

There's so many great movies made now it's hard to pick just one to deconstruct. That's why i'm not completely sure on which movie i'd like to write my paper on. but,
One movie that is on my list is the Proposal. I'd truely be analyzing the meaning on don't judge a book by it's cover, or in people. You may have one assumption of a person, but then when you spend quality time with them untentionally, they may not be the person you thought of. The movie makers also made this film funny. Doing so makes more viewer's want to watch it. Making audiences laugh keeps people interested. How do they keep you interested? Why during those scenes? What kind of music is catching your attention, or what is just a sweet tune in the background? These are a few questions i'll be answering. Also there's love, drama, and real life situations that many can relate to. This is just a start but a wonderful beginning to my soon to be amazing paper. :)

The movie I am going to deconstruct is called Enough. In just the title, you can predict or create images in your mind as to what this movie is going to be about. The main character, Jennifer Lopez (who is nitoriously known for shaking her booty on stage) stars as a mother who falls victm of abuse from her husband.
I think it will be helpful to study who this movie will appeal to. It might be appealing to people with no experience with abuse, to feel or see something different than what they have experienced, or maybe to people that have been abused because they can relate with the main character
While deconstructing this movie, I am going to use a feminist lens to analyze how women are treated (the child is also a girl), and how abuse effects families in the real world. It is no conicidence that the father is very wealthy. This is the reason he is not put in jail as he continues to hunt his wife and daughter. The system works for him so he is going to take advantage of it. I will analyze camera angles and viewpoints that help to create the suspense.
The makers of Enough do a great job at using an ultra-famous person as the main character. It is very hard to see someone such as J-Lo being abused, dressing in shabby clothes and driving around in beat-up cars, but her acting skills can pull it off. It helps show the "realness" behind everyone. The movie is a little too usual as the frightening music starts when something is going to happen, perhaps a foreshadow to every jumpy part. The weather is also usualy dark or dreary when something bad is about to happen. Although these things are a little over-used, the scenes flow together well and as a whole, make a good movie. The ending of this movie is your usual big ending that leaves you feeling uplifted, but some may say that it is a little extreeme. Does Jennifer really have to kill her husband to end the abuse? Has she had Enough?
The movie I have chosen to do my film deconstruction on is The Ringer. I have chosen this movie because I really like to morals and hidden messages behind it, and to be honest it will be a bit of a challenge to write about. The Ringer is about the Special Olympics and a guy Jeffy (Johnny Knoxville) is pretending to be mentally handicapped in order to win money to help stavi. The move is a great movie; it really does hit the aspects of life's taboos. In this movie, it shows that no person can really be judged by the outside. It also shows that people with disabilities aren't lesser of a person, just need to learn how to do things differently.
The main part of this movie I want to dissect is the part when they find out Knoxville isn't mentally challenged. The way the camera angles are set up, and leave you questioning things. The movie sets it up with a large amount of Dramatic Irony. Us, the viewers, think we know more than the characters, we know that Knoxville is pretending and that the special Olympians don't know it, but they really do. I really like how this movie also sticks to the stereotypes; it starts off the movie by showing us things we think we understand. It has a Mexican as a toilet scrubber, the white male as the employer working harder, and an African American as the fast runner, all stereotypes, I want to focus on the stereotyping of this movie as well as the positive outcomes of the movie.
I also want to focus on the names of the characters and why they have the certain traits they have ex. apples, special c.d., the hat, the shirt, bug eyes. One last thing, I want to focus on Knoxville’s role, and how it is totally different from any other role he has played, and how it’s opposite of his normal on screen personality. This movie has so many aspects to look at; I really need to watch it again.
After a long decision making process, I have finally decided what movie I will be using for my film deconstruction paper. The movie Titanic will be the subject of my paper. This movie is an amazing movie because it is about an event that actually happened, the restrictions of social status, how heroic or selfish people can be during a crisis, and some of the sacrifices that people make for the ones they love. Some of the features of the film that I will be focusing on and examining critically will be camera angle, lighting, the soundtrack of the film, pacing, the order of events in the movie, dialogue, and some of the different themes that the director was trying to convey through the film. Another thing I will analyze is how true the movie is to what actually happened to the Titanic years ago. The majority of the Titanic is a flashback into the past of the main characters, Rose and Jack. These two are from different social classes, Rose a young lady from the extravagant life of the first class people and Jack a poor young man who had to win his ticket in order to get on the ship. The relationship that Jack and Rose have is one of the main themes of the movie. This theme is that love should not be restricted by social status or appearance. A lot can be learned from a movie. There are many things that are symbolic in the movie Titanic and in my essay I will explain many of them. It is so much more entertaining to watch a movie when you can see the symbolisms and other features of a movie and realize that they were made that way for the reader to think more and learn more while sitting and watching a film.
The film i plan on de-constructing is "the big lebowski". Total Classic, it is centered around The dude and His two good friends (walter and donny) and Somehow in the film through a mix up of names "jeffrey Lebowski" the dudes rug is urinated on by two hitmen and from there the film spirals into an adventure to 1st get the dude a new carpet and then the dude is somehow to save this girl "the real jeffrey lebowskis wife" and there are many themes in this movie. Deep messages, not just on the surface but subliminal meanings, Symbols. Yes one could argue the big lebowski is about 3 potheads who hangout in a bowling alley but it truly is deeper than that yes they smoke a little marijauna in the film but The dude represents something bigger than just jeffrey lebowski. Mr. C i Think "the dude" is basically a negative of the real jeffrey lebowski he is everything jeffrey lebowski isnt and everything jeffrey lebowski hates. Society is challenged in its entirety by this film. A vietnam veteran, An everyday guy, and the dude(which in this film the whole world that is the bowling alley revolves around his every action) Mean more than just their covers and i will analyze this movie and show you "HOW DEEP THE RABBIT HOLE IS" haha i had to.

i am going to do my analyzing on I am l legend. It shows a guy who is part of a virus that goes wrong. he has the chance to leave with his wife and kid to go across where he will be safe. but instead stays behind to stick with his job. and try to undo what he has done. He has his dog trained to look for the night seekers. and clear a room so he is safe to go in. This movie shows love, with his dog and his job. and Shock for what he is willing to do to save his dog after it runs into a building. The scary part is he is off on his own and alone. He is one of very few alive to his knowledge. Every day for him is an adventure. he has to go to houses and look for food and items of his need. he is always on a journey and always has to be watching his back to keep him safe. He seems to really value the land and not destroy anything. he buys movies and brings them back and keeps everything nice. he wont shoot at a deer due to it might hit a car or wound the deer. He sets a plan and follows it till his dog dies and that is where he starts to think and realize he is now alone even if he finds other people in the world. His dog was his last family member and he has to kill it with his hands after his dogs gets bit from helping him and trying to save his life. It all started when he started to loose his mind and went after a fake person and got caught in his own trap. this movie is great in many ways and has many different settings.
The film that I will be deconstructing will be four brothers. This movie is great since it shows just how great chemistry can be between brothers. These brothers don't let race become a facter either, as there is two white brothers and two black brothers. They show their composure as their mother, or foster mother, is murdered in a corner market. Throughout the movie, they work together and hunt down the infamous killer who took their mother's life. The camera angles are great in this film as well. In the scene when they chase down the suspected killers, they are slidding all over the road and smashing into things as it is blizzarding outside. As one watches this movie, one cant help but feel like they are indeed that fifth brother trying to find the killer who killed such an innocent lady.
For my paper, I will be deconstructing the movie, _Seven Pounds_. I want to dig deeper into this movie because I feel that the events in this movie could really happen. A man wants to give back all that he had taken away from the people he killed when he swerved from checking his phone. I want to analyze how the camera angles show who's eyes we are seeing through at some points in the movie. Like, are we seeing what Will Smith or Rosario Dawson is seeing? or are we just getting the shot as a whole. I am also excited to analyze the lighting in this movie because I noticed that's how they repeatedly set the scenes in this movie. You also get to see the perspective of the people Will Smith is helping which is very interesting. There is one particular scence where is he getting bone marrow drawn. He had the choice to use anesthetic to take a little of the edge off, but because he is so pained by the sadness he caused, he wants to put himself through the hurt that he caused to all the loved ones of the people he killed in the accident. There is another part where Smith is just completely TORN. I cannot wait to analyze what emotions he must be feeling, and how it is affecting him and Dawson in the scence. It is a scence where they both completely let thier guards down and are literally looking at eachother's souls...I absolutely WEEP everytime I watch it!!
Seven Pounds is sort of the same as No Country for Old Men in that there is not much of a sound track. There is a lot of quiet, so that you can feel what the characters are thinking and so that you can put yourself in their situation..In this paper I want to ask myself, "why is the lighting like that" and be able to understand why. Also, "what effect does the silence have on the viewer, how does it help them to relate"?
I am doing The Longest Yard because its more than an entertaining movie, it has a lot of hidden themes like racial discrimination, brotherhood, prison brutality, rivalry, teamwork,and a lot of other things. Adam Sandler gave one of the most inspirational performances in his career because instead of his usual goofiness, he gave a serious performance and showed that he can play a tough character along with his usual character type. The casting was great because they picked some former football players like Bill Goldberg, Stone Cold Steve Austin, and Bob Sapp. The other guys were great because they were rough and tough and were all total bamfs like Dalip Singh also known as the great khali and plays turley in the film. Along with the ripped guys, it would not be as good without the less talented characters like caretaker(Chris Rock)and Brucey(Nicholas Turturro) because the make the big guys look even bigger by comparison. There is also the big guy who cannot run, Big Tony(Joey Diaz). It also shows how death or racist guards can bring a team together. The final football game is not just a butt kicking awesome part of the movie, it shows revenge, redemption people coming together and that inmates are people too and they should not be treated like savages and like they should be caged up forever. After the game it showed that the guards had no control over the inmates because they lost the respect that they had earned. I also loved that in spite of a decision to either throw a game again or keep the promise that he had made to his team to help them win the game. In the beginning of the game they were just out for blood but then paul crewe(adam sandler) gave an inspirational quote. “ A broken leg will heal, but a loss to the mean machine lasts forever.

i have not on a film to deconstuct but when i do i will analyze how the movie effects moviegoers, how it changes are moods, and how deeply involved we may get. Also i will analyze the flaws and uncover the true meaning of the movie
it had taken me allot of time and patience to figure out what movie i wanted to deconstruct. i finally picked V for Vendetta for my film. this is one of my favorite movies just because it is packed with symbolic references which i will talk about in my paper. This movie is great at pulling you in and feeling what the characters feel. all the emotions in the movie are played out with the music. My favorite scene is when he shows the lady he just rescued his light show. He blows up a very important monument with home made fireworks! while this is happening he tapped into the cities over com and plays some music that clashes with the fireworks it is a really brilliant scene in the movie. The director put that scene and that music together to make you almost feel proud of the man for being rebellious in the society and breaking out of the norm to show people what is right. This scene sets off the whole movie with a plot based off of the red scare. The government is trying to stop this man from letting everyone know there government is corrupt and they can stop it if they really wanted too. The whole movie is suspenseful not in a bad or scary way. It makes you question "what could possibly happen next?" or "why did V do that?" there are clues and historical references to everything that happens in this movie. V for Vendetta makes you think and thats why i am going to deconstruct it.

The film I chose to deconstruct is "I am Legend". The reason I chose this film was because it is very action packed and has amazing ways of capturing the viewers attention. It keeps you interested and scared at the same time. This movie also plays apart on your feelings for Will Smith as he flashes back to when this disease actually started when he had his family whom he tried so hard to get off the Island before the Quaretine and we see bits and parts of how his family was up until the died because of some rambuncious helicopter hit the one containing his family so he is left by himself on the Island with just a dog. This movie keeps you on the edge of your seat wondering what is going to happen next and this is on purpose hence why I finally chose this movie over many to deconstruct.

The film i have chosen to deconstruct is watchmen. most people like movies that end with happy endings and fairytale stories. me...i dont. which is one of the main reasons i loved watchmen and one of the main reasons i chose to deconstruct it. for one watchmen is real. even though it is a superhero movie with people that have unnatural powers...it shows how the real world would act towards hero's if there really were hero's. and that is a simple answer...they would shun them, make them outcasts, degrade them and make them give up their ways. hwy? becuase humanity fears what they cant control. and if you have a super man-like abilities that make you indestructable...no one can control what you do. lighting is always a few shades darker than what you would normally expect giving you a hint that this is a dark movie in a sense that you will be exposed to ugliness and truth. the blue man is always completely naked and if he does wear clothes it is a tiny little speedo signifying that he is above human laws, norms. and seeing as how he does not recognize sins, has the power to destroy or create life, can be everywhere and nowhere at once, and see's humans as a simple organism, even an equal or lesser god. indeed the movie gets you in close with all the hero's, going through past issues, and child lives. all at once though one of the main characters dies at the beginnning of the movie, then you learn the nature of this man. as Roarschack said "the Comedian saw human nature in its entire ugliness and chose to be a parody of it instead of fight it."
The film I am going to deconstruct is The Dark Knight. I am interested in knowing how the director creates a two and a half hour long movie so suspenseful. With little dialog, this movie is a complete action packed movie. Brothers, Christopher and Jonathan Nolan, create an incredible atmosphere filled with crime and terror. Batman is not saving the higher class civilians, but down in the dark slums of Gotham. He begins to remove drug lords off the street until he meets a foe he can never out smart. I am going to carefully listen to the soundtrack they put with the action fighting scenes. I think this is movie is good because of such an evil enduring super villain, Joker. He is the ultimate criminal that brings themes of sacrifice, like when Joker gives batman the choice of saving a government official or his old girlfriend, and madness, like when he carries hand grenades tied to the inside of his jacket. Heath Ledger is a brilliant actor in the film, and he made the cartoon of Batman against the Joker and turned it into a fully fleshed out thriller. At the end, the movie leaves us questioning if Batman will keep fighting for the city of Gotham and if he will have to go against his “heroic”, never kill anyone morals to finally finish off the Joker. The effect of the Batman’s suit creates a feeling of fear and darkness unlike other traditional superheros like Superman or Wonder Women with the overly patriotic red, white, and blue tight spandex. Batman has an Army made full body armor that leaves him hidden from the press and out of the spotlight. He seems to always be fighting in gloomy, wet, sunless environment where it could easily be compared to the drenches of a cave where bats control the darkness.
(Sorry this is late. I did the blog task due on Feb. 2nd on accident)
The movie I’m going to deconstruct is Rigoletto. I find that the sound track, the sequencing, and the dialogue are the three main things that pop out of this movie. “Is music effective?” The music is definitely effective because of course it is a musical. Although this isn’t a musical you are used to today. These people are singing for a certain reason. She wants to be the greatest singer in the world and he teaches her how to do it. The beautiful vocals in this film make you want to melt, and make you want to sing like that. Just like the girl Georgie, but I’ll get into that later. The film lets the viewers now what is going on but the entire village still has no idea who is the one buying their homes. We all know who it is from the very beginning, and we know who is healing the town one by one also. Sadly the villagers believe the man who is stealing their homes is actually the one healing them. The words that are said in this film are wise and things to look up too. It almost seems like a lot of the characters talk to themselves more than they actually do to the other villagers, like they are trying to convince themselves of what they are saying more than they are the person in front of them. I have used many quotes from this movie in my life especially this one, “A lie is like a black hole in the earth, getting deeper and blacker, until at last it turns into a great beast and devours its maker.” Now isn’t that powerful?
Why is the brutal beating of Ribaldi like that? This is the part where everyone is crying. You’re crying to the villagers that he isn’t the man they think he is and we are saddened by this. The singing competition is at the same time as this incident. She is singing the song that Mr. Ribaldi wrote during the moment he his being beat upon by the male villagers of the town. This helps the intensity of the scene grow as you become more angry and sympathetic. This is the point you know it’s not going to end okay.
What effect does the setting create for the viewer? The setting is in a small remote town where everyone knows everything about everyone. The viewer sympathizes with the poor of the town as the camera only focus’ on them. Those are the people we are supposed to care about. The setting feels home like. You feel comfortable in it. The focus moves from the small everything store to Mr. Ribaldi’s home to the various homes in the town. Again it is very focused on the poor.
The film I chose to deconstruct is Grandma's Boy. I will be examining the characters, dialogue and culture of the movie. It was produced by Adam Sandler and has many actors with extensive backgrounds in comedy. This film is hilarious because it has uncommon people who spend much of their time playing video games, partying, and smoking pot. This movie is particularly interesting to people who develop and play video games. Much of the humor is random, sarcastic and intermingled with drugs. The story follows a chapter in the life of Alex, the oldest and most experienced game tester at the company Brainasium. At the beginning of the movie, Alex is evicted because his roommate has been spending their rent money on Filipino hookers for the past six months. Alex goes to his friend Dante's house to see if he can stay there. Dante answers his door nude and is putting his Christmas tree up in July. The movie plays off of the "mama's boy" stereotype by Alex in a situation where he has to move in with his grandma and her two friends. While he stays there, she feeds and clothes him like a son. The acting is very convincing and the characters look and dress like gamers do. Alex's friend, Jeff, lives with his parents. He has a car bed, wears children pajamas and sleeps with a stuffed turtle. Alex is a "grandma's boy" because he lives a carefree lifestyle of partying, developing and playing games. He creates a comical effect for the viewer by doing outrages things with his friends and being a total geek.

The film I am deconstructing is Secondhand Lions. I will be analyzing the characters, flash backs with the stories, parental figures and how they act throughout the film, the sound track, the sequence of events, and the message underneath the surface. I agree with the thought that the sound track helps with directing our feelings with a climactic, romantic, sad, funny, or meaningful scene. The sound track in Secondhand Lions consist of “old fashion” kind of music from the 40’s and 50’s along with the valiant trumpets and drums when Garth is telling Walter about Hubs adventures when they were young. It also is significant when the Lion is delivered to Garth and Hub’s house, you see the Giraffes head poking up and as soon as you see that you hear African themed music, putting you in the wild where those kinds of animals would really be, instead of on a farm in Texas. I really think that most people can find some aspect of this movie to relate to. Whether it be the rough around the edges uncles with the big hearts, the neglectful and lying mother, the annoying relatives, or the odd upbringing that Walter faces. I also believe that the morals of the characters are a big part of how we as an audience are suppose to feel and think. The directors look at every aspect of the film to get us to relate, think and or appeal to what is happening. It makes us wonder why the camera angles are close up, far away, spans out or wide view. Why are the characters names significant and what they go through important to the all around meaning of the film? Also I believe that all the previous topics discussed are important to the effects that the film has on us. All areas of the film are important from camera angles to the characters names, each little detail help the director direct our feelings and thoughts throughout the film.
The movie that I have decided to analyze for my paper is The Departed. This movie has had the biggest impact on my life far beyond any other movie I’ve ever watched. It’s brutal fights hard truth and amazing plot just sucked me into this movie and made me feel like I was experiencing it as my life. I can’t really relate to selling drugs, killing people, or smashing some guineas’ faces in with a coat rack but I can relate to the Irish and to the feeling that you can’t trust anyone around you, certainly not to the extent of Billy Costigan. But besides all the lies, death, drugs, and deception there is a underlining theme of trusting in your family and men around you. This entire movie is about trying to find the rat Costello’s crew and also the rat inside of the SIU, so trust in the people around you is very scarce since everyone around you is trying to find…..you. Now Sergeant Sullivan has it a little bit easier because he’s assigned to find himself, he’s the lead investigator in the search for Costello’s rat so he has everyone’s trust and no one suspects him of being it. The movie is ingeniously written, the two men who are trying to find each other actually run into each other a couple of times and never even realize it. They are also tied together by the woman they are both involved with, which I find hilarious. The camera angles in the movie are also magnificently done. They give you exactly what the director wants to give you without giving you too much. Often the camera doesn’t reveal anything so that the viewer is kept in the dark and guessing. The movie is powerful, complicated, and truly a piece of artwork in itself. You can watch this movie nine times and still pick out new stuff every single time. It’s so complex and real. My favorite part of the movie itself is the end, mainly because everyone, with the exception of Mark Wahlberg’s character, dies. They all kill each other in a cloud of gunpowder and deceit.

The moive that i have decided to analyze for my paper is the moive Freedom Writers. I believe this moive is a great choice for my paper. During the moive the students are always talking about a war. But it not a war over seas it is a war that happens in their very own neighborhood. They are solders on the front lines everyday. They are afraid to step out of their own house, because it is a greater risk to be shot just walking down your streat. This moive shows how one teacher can change their views on the world. All these students know is violence, and what she gives them is hope. You go through out the moive seeing them bloosom into a bran new person. They go from being tardy and absent to class, to lineing up her front door every morning, ready to recieve an education because they want to. In our town that is all what teenagers think is get an education, and go on to do something great with our lives. These teenagers are much differnt, they spent their time worring about things they can not control. For example; the color of their skin, poverty, religion, family situation, and war. Those things should not be an issue for a teenager. Through out the rest of the moive thier teacher changes their path of their future for them. Now they want to learn and get an education and they should not let anyone stop them for having that right.
this is the same thing i just added some stuff onto it
I am doing The Longest Yard because its more than an entertaining movie, it has a lot of hidden themes like racial discrimination, brotherhood, prison brutality, rivalry, teamwork,and a lot of other things. Adam Sandler gave one of the most inspirational performances in his career because instead of his usual goofiness, he gave a serious performance and showed that he can play a tough character along with his usual character type. The casting was great because they picked some former football players like Bill Goldberg, Stone Cold Steve Austin, and Bob Sapp. The other guys were great because they were rough and tough and were all total bamfs like Dalip Singh also known as the great khali and plays turley in the film. Along with the ripped guys, it would not be as good without the less talented characters like caretaker(Chris Rock)and Brucey(Nicholas Turturro) because the make the big guys look even bigger by comparison. There is also the big guy who cannot run, Big Tony(Joey Diaz). It also shows how death or racist guards can bring a team together. The final football game is not just a butt kicking awesome part of the movie, it shows revenge, redemption people coming together and that inmates are people too and they should not be treated like savages and like they should be caged up forever. After the game it showed that the guards had no control over the inmates because they lost the respect that they had earned. I also loved that in spite of a decision to either throw a game again or keep the promise that he had made to his team to help them win the game. In the beginning of the game they were just out for blood but then paul crewe(adam sandler) gave an inspirational quote. “ A broken leg will heal, but a loss to the mean machine lasts forever. Revenge is sweeter when you know that they cant do anything back afterwards. The cons lost all respect for the warden after his little stunt and it’s a safe bet that if he cannot control his prisoners he is knocked out of the running for mayor of texas.
The movie i'm leaning toward deconstructing is Hairspray. I would be deeply anylyzing the soundtrack and dialougue very carefully. This movie has a lot to do with the beginning of desegregation, but still has a lot of racial slurs and prejudice remarks towards blacks. It also promotes everyone looking the same and that if you're bigger or not pretty then you'll never fit in. The main character Tracy is a bigger girl who's dream is to be a dancer on a certain local tv show, but is constantly told that she can't because of her looks. She also is for integration, which is another reason she's looked down upon by the station manager, who's daughter is the lead girl dancer on the show. Tracy of course ends up proving that looks don't matter and helps others realize that the color of your skin doesn't matter either. Tracy befriends a bunch of
African Americans who are really good dancers, like she is, who aren't given a real chance to be on the show because of their race. They all go out to prove that they're just as good as the "normal kids." The soundtrack is very important in the film because its a musical. plenty of dialougue happens during the music and characters communicate their emotions and thoughts to the the audience with the songs, and also provide entertainment. "Why is Baltimore like that?" the setting of Hairspray is Baltimore in the 1960s. Segregation is considered a new frontier, but so many people won't except it. Also, Tracy sings about rats dancing around my feet because Baltimore is known of a dirty, not always well kept place, especially in the lower and middle class districts, where Tracy's from. "What effect does the music have/create for the viewer?" The music not only entertains the viewer, but shows whats going on in the character's head. sometimes the songs are just catchy pieces of entertainment but other songs like "I can hear the bells" and "I know where I've been" give us insides the how the characters are truely feeling and help us feel that way too. Music is one of the most powerful ways to communicate and thats why it was put into this film, not just to entertain.

I will be deconstructing the movie "District 9". Some of the aspects i will be deconstructing have to include with the main character being and antihero, the racial aspects, why they used a commentary of people from MNU explaining things throughout the movie and many others. The main character viccus turns out to be an antihero, in the beginning he is a dick to the prawns but when he is squirted with a black liquid he begins to turn into a prawn himself and all humans turn on him and want to use him for scientific research, the only where he can go is to join with the prawns. He ends up killing people he worked with and destoying parts of a building he has been working in to help the prawns so they will help him making him and antihero, he helps those who he hated by killing the people he knew. A racial aspect includes the music that plays everytime it shows the black people, The music is some rap song, stereotypical. Also the movie starts out is actually pretty commical but as it advances it becomes more and more serious. There are other cringe factors that are added to help show you what Viccus is going through. He is working in his office and one of his fingernails just comes off, or when he starts pulling off his own skin, not many people have gone through anything that severe but it can remind us of times where we have been hurt badly and almost makes you cringe just watching it, it makes you feel bad for him.

The film I chose to deconstruct one of my favorite movies of all time, Juno. As I continue to dissect this movie, I'm able further examine certain characters, camera angles, lighting, dialogue, and overall themes. I found Ellen Page's acting beyond convincing as Juno. None of the cast appeared too beautiful for their role. It feels like each cast member fit perfectly in their own part. Juno, her friends, and family all have their own quirkiness, while the Lorings, the impeccable adoptive couple, are portrayed to be in every way flawless. As Juno and her best friend search through the local PennySaver for an adoptive family (comic relief): "They were Mark and Vanessa Loring, and they were beautiful even in black and white". On the outside, they seem to be everything Juno wants her baby to have in life. Later in the movie this proves to be ironic as Mark reveals to Juno that he's no longer in love with Vanessa. Another perfect fit for the movie was the soundtrack. As the opening credits roll we immediately feel the soft yet peculiar demeanor that Juno communicates. (“If you were a wink, I’d be a nod - If you were a seed, well I’d be a pod. - If you were the floor, I’d wanna be the rug - And if you were a kiss, I know I’d be a hug.") The producers were truly able to capture the sensitivity and heart of Juno with this soundtrack.
I found an unexpected and refreshing pro-life message within Juno. Her first reaction is that abortion is the only answer. She explains to her friend/boyfriend, Bleeker, "I was thinking I'd just nip it in the butt before it gets worse. Because they were talking about in health class how pregnancy... It can often lead to an infant", but can't force herself to go through with it. Juno proves to be a movie about a young woman who's confronted with an unexpected pregnancy and decides to face her responsibilities, no matter what lies ahead.
For my essay paper, I am either going to deconstruct the movie _Phone Booth_ or the movie _12 Rounds_. Each of them has its own certain strategy for getting the attention of the audience. The movie _Phone Booth_ so of sets up the setting and introduces the characters like a novel does. _12 Rounds_ just start off with the plot and lets the audience sort of figure out what is happening for themselves. Both movies have antagonists who use the "power of emotion" to get into the head of the protagonist. The directors use this strategy because it gives the audience a feeling of being in the "heroes shoes". It also makes them feel like the events that happen in the movie could really happen to you. In _12 Rounds_ you get to be in the main character, Detective Danny Fischer's home were you see a bell that you might see at a wrestling or boxing match. Now, I don't know about you but, I don't think a lot of people have a ring bell hanging on the wall in their house. The movie _Phone Booth_ does the same sort of thing. In the movie we see a wide shot of the main character, Stu Shepard in the phonebooth and behind him in the window is an advertisement for a company and it reads,"Who do you think you are?" This is symbolic because Stu uses that same phonebooth everyday to talk to the woman that he is cheat on his wife with. The movie sort of makes you second guess yourself everytime you make a decision because you will always think that if somebody found out that you made a bad or wrong decision, how is it going to effect your life and the people around you?

i am deconstructing a film called moulin rouge, its a very interesting film because it has a women that has never been in love and is kind of a misteress. shes never thought much of life, always thinking this is how good life gets. then theres a man who believes that all you need is love, but yet he's never been in love. in the movie they fall deeply in love but cant tell anyone. which causes conflict and drama. the movie is full of up beat songs, which cause the viewer to be happy. but towards the end the songs become more sad. the camera angles are everywhere really, which keeps the viewers interest into what is going on. the history on the moulin rouge, it was a sort of strip club per say back in the day, its location was in france, its where men would come to see pretty women dance. and the movies so different because a man falls in love with one of them, and she falls in love with him, and girls like that arnt suppose to fall in love. but what i am really trying to say is Moulin Rouge is a celebration of truth, beauty, freedom, but above all things, love - set in the infamous, gaudy and glamorous Paris nightclub, circa 1900. Director Baz Luhrmann brings together gorgeous period design and modern-era pop tunes to create a unique comic/tragic motion picture experience.
Satine (Nicole Kidman), the star of the Moulin Rouge and the city's most famous courtesan, is caught between the love of a young writer and another man's obsession. Christian (Ewan McGregor) is a writer who finds himself plunged into this decadent world where anything goes - except falling in love.
its camera angles are brilliant, and it just catches the viewer so easily.
For my paper I will be deconstructing the educational 1995film, Kids. Kids a movie that follows a day in the life of a group of teenagers who live in New York. The movie features actors and actresses that were litterly street kids from New York. They had no prior acting experience. In the first scene of the movie shows two teenagers passionately making out and eventually leads to unprotected sex. Throughout the movie the group of kids smoke pot, drink booze, and break laws like it's no one's business. This movie is amazing in how its filmed like a documentary but it really isn't. The camera angle makes it so it's like your one of the teenagers in the movie and you're just tagging along. The soundtrack in the movie features hip hop and rap tracks that fit in with whats going on in the movie. The fact that there are non experienced actors and actresses makes this movie seem fresh. There ar'nt any cheesy lines and there's really no plot or story line. The directors I think kind of just freestyled it.My favorite movies would have to be P.S. I Love You and Kids. P.S. I Love You is a great movie about a couple whose marriage is suddenly stopped because the husband dies. The directors of this movie really knew how to capture the audience's heart by really showing how broken the wife is, she calls her ex-husbands phone just so she can hear his voice. The movie keeps you crying and also has funny scenes to so you're not completely depressed which I think is a really smart way to make a movie. Making the audience feel many emotions instead of just one is a great movie making strategy. My second favorite movie is Kids. This movie is almost like a documentary that follows the life of a group of teens in the 90's. They do drugs, have sex, and break as many laws as the possibly can. The movie was originally filmed to be a educational movie to educate the public about STD's and the secret life of teens. It really shows how lack of adult guidence can really effect a teenager. I really like it because its funny and I can really relate to alot of the things in the movie, such as the parties or just the way the guys and girls talk about each other. It's funny because its true.
In my personal essay I'm just examining Super Troopers, a hilarious, totally awesome movie! Mainly I'm examining all the parts that make me laugh so hard i end up falling off the couch or can't stop laughing. I believe that there was a lot of art work in this film, mainly because there's a plot but there's a ton of comedy in it to make a person just laugh and follow along waiting for the next interesting/funny scene. The characters that were chosen for this film, fit their roles perfectly, I couldn't have done it any better than they have. Yea at parts it's like come on get on with it, but when isn't there parts like that in movies? This movie creates the funny effect to people, it's just totally random and stupid at the same time but that's what makes it awesome to view. This movie is my all time favorite!
the film i am deconstructing is one of mine and my dads favorite film of all time The Gladiator by David Franzon. The Gladiator a 5 Oscars winner. Another 45 wins & 79 nominations. This movie took me into a new world a world of the where man become beast to survive and buy thier freedom. "Father of a murdered son, husband to a murdered wife and I shall have my vengeance in this life or the next" the main character Maximus Decimus Meridias (played by Russell Crowe) is a great roman general is betrayed and his family is killed by Commodus (played by Joaquin Phoenix) a corrupt price trying anything to stay with the emperos kingdom. After the death of his family Maximus is sold to a freed slave that buys slaves to make them Gladiators. Proximus the freed slave (played by Oliver Reed) is a very interesting characte He is a old worrior who is full of wisdom whos doesnt only think about his own interests, but cares deep inside about those who risk their livs to buy their freedom. He helps Maximus by telling him "Win the crows Spaniard.... and perhaps you shall win your freedom". After a couple matches Maximus becomes a favorite for the people he goes to rome to fight for the emperor. When Maximus shows his skill that he has as a general the emperor Commodus wants to meet the great gladiator. when Commodus is at the arena he tell the Spaniard to tell hid name but Maximus turns his back to him and shows him his doesnt have any respect towards him. This angers Commudos and asked him to tell his name and Maximus tell who he is and what Commudos did to him. This is "when A general who became a slave. A slave who became a gladiator. A gladiator who defied an emperor". This films is a great film and it will be a film that i will have to get more into the characters because each individual has it own unique story. The camara algles are great beacause it gives great View of all the scenes at the arena. I will get every detail beacause everything is inportant in this film.
I'm deconstructing the film BLEACH The Movie: Memories of Nobody by Tite Kubo. BLEACH This movie has so many aspects that make it absolutely wonderful. Camera Angles are very easy to work with since it's an animated movie and not a live-action film. Because of this there are so many wonderful camera angles that help bring the audience in, and they didn't even need an enormous budget to do it. The soundtrack is absolutely amazing. BLEACH the Movie has a wide range of different genres from Pop music to the Opera. The dialogue is also very important. English translators have to go through and change the dialogue from Japanese to English and they only have so many syllables to do it in because of the Anime style of animation. This is a very tricky job as Japanese lines sometimes run longer than the same lines in English, or something much harder, they run shorter, given the English voice actor very little space to say what they may need to say if the English translator isn't able to shorten the line enough. The English translator of BLEACH the Movie, Kirk Thornton also voices one of the characters in the movie, so he has even more to do. The skill of the people behind the scenes showcases just how talented these people are.
~Why is the soundtrack like that? What effect does the soundtrack have/create for the viewer?
The soundtrack is the way it is because it brings out the emotion of the scene in such a tangible way that the viewer easy succumbs to the emotion being portrayed. Also, it is the way it is to tell a story - the story of the emotions in the scene.
For example, the melancholic opera music near the end of the film causes the viewer to feel sad, depressed, or maybe even to start crying. It tells the story that this is a sad event and the director wants you to feel what the main character is feeling. The upbeat pop music during the fight at the beginning makes the viewer want to bop his/her head along with the music and tells the story that the hero is going to win this fight. No question.
In my essay I am deconstructing the recently released movie “To Save a Life.” I am going to attempt to analyze the use of the shaking and blurred effect of the camera used by director Brian Baugh. I am also going to try and relate the messages of this movie to society in general and more specifically teens and high schoolers. In the film during parts that portray high amounts of fear or parts that pull at the viewers hearts or emotions, like the shooting scene, the camera shakes randomly and almost uncontrollably like someone who is scared. It also gets blurry around the edges of the screen. This could represent how high pressure emotions like fear and anger can cloud peoples judgment, in some cases to the point of suicide. Overall in the film I think the camera work does a really good job of reflecting and also accenting the emotions being shown on the screen. There are many messages, both covert and overt to examine in this film. On the surface, the film addresses issues concerning a kid who commits suicide, a higher power, and aloneness. On the non-surface level the film addresses so many different social, emotional, and personal issues. The film shows how people can treat people. It shows how high stress, emotional situations can be coupled with loneliness to create an anger and a hatred for others and for life. It shows how people can react negatively to bad situations not only in our own lives but also in the lives of others. It begins to skim the surface of the psychology behind cutting. The film also asks us questions. It asks what we want our lives to be about. It asks about a higher power. It made me ask if there isn’t a higher power, can the simple belief in this false power have an effect. But the film asks on question that I find more important than all the others. Stealing the wording from a song lyric by Chevelle, “To care or, plead silence.” When we see someone in need how do we react to that need? Do we go out of our way to try and make a difference in their lives? Do we do the hard thing, or do we just walk by like almost all the others will? Do we not care and forget when they are out of sight? Do we care, or do we plead silence.
