...History Main article: History of film A clip from the Charlie Chaplin silent film The Bond (1918) Preceding film in origin by thousands of years, early plays and dances had elements common to film: scripts, sets, costumes, production, direction, actors, audiences, storyboards, and scores. Much terminology later used in film theory and criticism apply, such as mise en scene (roughly, the entire visual picture at any one time). Owing to an absence of technology for doing so, moving visual and aural images were not recorded for replaying as in film. In the 1860s, mechanisms for producing two-dimensional drawings in motion were demonstrated with devices such as the zoetrope, mutoscope and praxinoscope. These machines were outgrowths of simple optical devices (such as magic lanterns) and would display sequences of still pictures at sufficient speed for the images on the pictures to appear to be moving, a phenomenon called persistence of vision. Naturally the images needed to be carefully designed to achieve the desired effect, and the underlying principle became the basis for the development of film animation. With the development of celluloid film for still photography, it became possible to directly capture objects in motion in real time. An 1878 experiment by English photographer Eadweard Muybridge in the United States using 24 cameras produced a series of stereoscopic images of a galloping horse, is arguably the first "motion picture", though it was not called by this name...

...purpose is to discuss the inherent qualities, analysis of growth and history, exploration of impacts, and brief look at the future of the modern business corporation. The documentary defines a corporation as a legal person, explaining that is has most of the legal rights a person has such as borrowing money and managing property. The film was released around the time of major corporate scandals, such as Xerox, Enron, and WorldCom, and uses the metaphor “bad apples” to state that there are more than a few corporations that are bad. The film argues that if corporations were people, they would have psychopathic personalities. It then states that corporations have become a vessel which good and bad people can cause harm to society because of the way corporations have evolved and how they are protected. The Corporation film is concerned with the role corporations have in modern society its impact, or the corporate social responsibility. The film explores how corporations have been poisoning the earth as well as consumer minds and how the government is intended to look over and control these corporations. It looks into some of the unethical business practices and strategies executed by corporations and the externalities that are created to satisfy the main goal of the corporation: to maximize profit and market share. 2.

...have a famous leading lady, but the previews were so intense and so realistic that it pulled me in. “The Blind Side” and “Precious” are movies about over-weight, illiterate, poverty stricken African-American teenagers and their struggles to overcome adversity. Have we seen movies like these before? What makes either one of these movies so alike yet so different? Both movies were accused of stereotyping and racism. One movie can be compared to a rag to riches (The Blind Side”) story as the other a phoenix rising (‘Precious”). Unlike “The Blind Side”, “Precious” isn’t afraid of presenting a valuable message to society. Director Lee Daniels has been heavily criticized for his style and script to the extent of being called an “Uncle Tom”. This film was classified by many as a stereotype of all African-Americans. There are those who argued that this movie will only bring the African-American culture two steps backwards in their efforts to overcome cultural barriers. I totally disagree. “Precious” is bold look at reality. This movie forces you to take a good hard look at what was, what is and what could be around you. After seeing each movie more than once I can sincerely say that “Precious” is a better movie. The acting, all the visual elements and the message were over...

...Klan Domestic terrorism is simply defined as terrorism practiced in one’s own country against fellow countrymen but with the many cases of terrorism being highlighted all around the world each day, terrorism has generally gained many more definitions. Regardless of this though, terrorism is one of the world’s greatest challenges in the 21st century. The United Nations Secretary General described terrorism in 2004 as any act intended to cause serious harm or death to civilians with the purpose of compelling a government or an international organization or with the objective of intimidating a population to do or refrain from doing an act. Domestic terrorism is a form of terrorism normally used to advance certain social or political interests of a group or section of the society. This form of terrorism has been occurring for a long time and it has been argued by some authorities that domestic terrorism acts were present long before the acts were legally defined (Hess & Orthmann, 2009). In the United States, domestic terrorism is a weighty matter with many terrorist groups being active all around the nation. One such group labeled as a domestic terrorist organization is the Ku Klux Klan, a right-wing white supremacist organization classified as terrorist in the US. Often abbreviated as the KKK and also known informally as The Klan, this far-right organization has advocated for extremist reactionary notions such as white nationalism and supremacy coupled with calls for...

...Women On Screen In China Film, as a unique art form, has come to China nearly centuries. In 1920s, female images just can be seen as the tools in silent movies, which own not only very vague character, but also lack of adequate connotation of the times, not to mention women’s awareness of self-consciousness. However, after the establishment of People's Republic of China, government vigorously promotes that the "men and women are alike". Also with the influence of western feminist movement, the status of women began to turn upside down. Women are demanding equal status with men, and these demands also reflected in the films. Until now, women as a sign of beauty, some are gentle and virtuous, some are sweetie and pleasant, and some are full of unique personality but still attractive enough. In such a representation, it is hard to notice, even their own aesthetic values are deeply affected by the male views. Not so much a woman as a sign of beauty, as it is a sign to attract male attention. In many generations of Chinese directors, only one of the few is female director. In the Male-dominated film industry, obviously, female characters are created by them, reflecting men’s centralism’s view of women. This paper applies feminist film theory, by analyzing the feminine images in a famous Chinese director—Jiang Wen’s films, to reveal the hidden gender inequality as well as the phenomenon of “male gaze”. Through the criticism and introspection of these hidden and potential...

...I am working on four or five major themes, but have found amazing connections between them. Four areas of immediate concern, in reverse order, are Osama Bin Laden, the Israeli Mossad, the CIA, the Holocaust. A fifth is the racism in the US judicial system, going back to the Civil war and to the foundation of the US. As a backdrop to all of this is work I have done using Joseph Campbell's series on Mythology with Bill Moyers, specifically, the Isis/Horus/Osiris myth predating the Mary/Jesus/God myth. Intertwined with this is Nietzsche's Anti-Christ, a work which I wish you had taught when you had the chance at WVSC. Many books have led me to many conclusions that you may or may not be aware of. The one you wanted the title of the last time we talked seriously is: Was the CIA involved in the JFK assassination? by Mark Lane. It has the info about how the CIA tried to kill Fidel Castro that you referred to once in class, except it was his wife, not a 16 year old, that was going to poison him. The CIA had told her he was cheating on her. Mark Lane is an attorney who managed Kennedy's New York campaign in 1960 when he was running for President. He is still alive in Virginia, in Charlottesville. You can find his address with 411locate.com. Amazingly, it turns out that the US hired 1000s of SS/Gestapo after the World War to spy in the USSR. Allen Dulles was responsible and the Vatican helped smuggle these Nazis into the US, saying that they were...

...“Critically assess the claim that we live in a ‘globalised world’. Use evidence to support your discussion.” When looking at globalisation we have to realise that it isn’t just one thing, the word globalisation isn’t just one meaning, it isn’t just an economic or cultural concept and it doesn’t just affect these, it also effects a lot of other relations. It can be anything from personal to structural things and this can affect us on many different levels, as well as economic and cultural there are also environmental concerns and effects on the globe which now need global solutions. This is essay is going to explore the aspects of globalisation and assess analytically and critically how we are now supposed to live in a “globalised word” and to what extent that it is actually true, using evidence and examples from sociological scholars and every day samples to support different idea’s which are for and against this notion. Globalisation means cultures and economics are now becoming more the same, more homogenous and throughout this essay this will be challenged on how this effects the world we live in not just in Britain but in all other countries too. Globalisation is involved with dissolving boarders and making them less strict and more flexible, this allowing us to have growing global connections, something which is called interconnectedness. We can now receive information from across the world almost instantly this giving exercise and organisation of power on a global scale...

...Introduction Piracy is a form of theft. Specifically, it refers to the unauthorized copying or use of intellectual property. Intellectual property is knowledge or expression that is owned by someone. There are three major types of intellectual property: 1) creative works, including music, written material, movies, and software, which are protected by copyright law; 2) inventions, which are protected by patent law; and 3) brand-name products, which are protected by trademarks. Many of the issues surrounding piracy have to do with the difference between intellectual property and physical property. A CD, for example, is a piece of physical property, but the songs on the CD are intellectual property. A customer in a record store can purchase a CD, but someone else still owns—or more precisely, has the copyright to—the songs on the CD. Piracy is primarily a problem for the entertainment and software industries, and therefore piracy most often involves violations of copyright law. Copyright is a legal right that protects creative works from being reproduced, performed, or disseminated without permission of the copyright owner. Essentially, a copyright gives its owner the exclusive right to make copies of the material in question. The American Heritage Dictionary defines piracy as "the unauthorized duplication of copyrighted or patented material." It is a problem that affects companies all over the world. Piracy of software, movies, and music is commonplace in China. China...
