...I am a movie fanatic and a book worm. I love reading and watching the book and movie. "The Outsider" is one of my favorite movie come books, but it was really surprising after reading and watching the book and the movie are pretty different mainly in the rumble, the reuniting and argument\soda running away scene. The rumble scene was very different in the book and the movie. The setting in the movie had a racing background and the fight was near a camp, unlike the movie, the book's setting took place in a parking lot and the background is a clear night sky. before the fight, brumly guy did not talk to ponyboy about his brother in the movie like he did in the book. lastly in the book dally was weakened by his burned hand and was getting beat...

...Im own opinion I think High Noon was better than “Tin Star”.In the movie there were some changes. I think that these were good changes it made the movie not so depressing and sad it made it more happier. Some other changes were that. The sheriff dies and his partner got shot and a bunch of bad stuff just happened to Will in the book. In the movie though The sheriff lives and he has a wife. So in the movie good stuff happen. In the book there was also not enough detail and when there was detail it was very confusing in the book. In the movie though the there was a bunch of detail and I was not confused what so ever in the movie. I also feel that the movie had more dramatic scenes then the book. Also in the movie there was also more character and way more drama. In the book there was less characters so it means less drama so it was not that interesting. There were also some changes in the movie that were not in the book. Other than that I think the book and movie was very good and I honestly liked reading and watching...

...First, Ender was manipulated in both the book and movie, however in the book Ender was more stubborn to stick to his morals and values, rather than go along with the IF’s aggressive objectives. In the book Ender stays home for a long period because he was fed up with the deceitfulness of Colonel Graff and the IF, but in the movie Ender stays home due to what he felt he was becoming after the death on Bonzo. While it may not seem extreme, the difference lies with Ender’s willingness, or lack thereof, to follow the agenda set for him by the IF. Furthermore, the difference of isolation is present. In the book, Graff has it so that Ender is never comfortable at any point in his training. At each army at battle school, as soon as Ender begins to feel accepted, he is moved to another group where he must prove himself all over again. This happens in the initial launch, as well as Salamander Army, Rabbit Army, and when he takes command of Dragon Army. At each step he is singled out as weak and useless, or seen as too skilled or too intelligent. This differs from the movie in that in the movie, Ender’s isolation comes to an end after his launch group. Almost immediately after being thrown into Salamander Army, Ender is brought in under the wing of Petra. This allows him to feel accepted very early on, and this acceptance is carried through until the end of the movie. The last difference comes in the form of the redemption. The movie chose to cut out a major part of Ender’s training...

Ender’s Game is about a kid named Ender Wiggin who at the age of 6 learns that it’s his destiny to save the human race. he goes on an adventure through battle school while his two siblings back home struggle with control of the world around them. The book was the better option to experience the story Ender Wiggin due to the detailed story.

...and you are trying to escape, but no one is willing to help you. This was the exact situation that Ender was placed in. The book and the movie, Ender's Game, are about a boy named Ender who was “born” to save the world. Ender was isolated throughout his life to make him mentally stronger. At the end of the story, he destroys the whole alien race and saves the world. While the book and the movie have a similar story, the book is much better than the movie because the book conveys the story with more depth. There are many crucial elements in Ender’s Game that are needed for the story to be good. One theme that is important in the story is that the end justifies the means. This is...

...between the two. The difference between the two is that with a film it gives the viewer a visual aspect of a story, and as for the novel, it gives a verbal description of a story. In novels you are able to read the character's mind and understand who they are. A novel gives the meat of a story such as background information, and things that occur throughout the story. When it comes to film, there is are some things that may be added to a film which may give viewers a different take on how they may view the original novel. I will analyze the novel, and film and I will discuss how I viewed the film vs the novel of No Country for an Old Man, and compare the two together....

...What did that movie mean? by Christopher P. Jacobs Movies are entertainment. Movies are documents of their time and place. Movies are artistic forms of self-expression. Movies we see at theatres, on television, or home video are typically narrative films. They tell stories about characters going through experiences. But what are they really about? What is the content of a film? DIGGING DEEPER: FOUR LEVELS OF MEANING Recounting the plot of a movie, telling what happens, is the simplest way to explain it to someone else. But this is neither a film review nor a film analysis. It’s merely a synopsis that anyone else who sees or has seen the movie will likely agree with. This level of content may be called the referential content, since it refers directly to things that happen in the plot and possibly to some aspects of the story that are merely implied by the plot. In John Boorman’s Deliverance (1972), four men from the city go on a weekend canoe trip that unexpectedly becomes a life or death struggle for survival of man against man and man against nature. Some characters survive, others don’t. Most films can be analyzed more thoroughly to reveal deeper levels of meaning. A review (perhaps 400-1200 words) typically includes personal impressions and evaluations of a movie’s content and techniques. A good review may be subjective, yet still touch superficially on topics that might be explored in more detail in a longer formal analysis. An analysis (perhaps 1200-12...

...Evaluate a famous action adventure movie and explain why it works for the audience The Lord of the Rings series is one of the most famous action adventure movies of its time and is an acclaimed classic as well. It is an epic tale of action and adventure that goes far and beyond cultural boundaries and leads the audience to a mythical world that is suspended between the world we know and the fantasy we all wish we lived in. This movie has gained international fame and set a benchmark for the action adventure/ fantasy genre with its classic good versus evil plot, the mythical references and the magical realism that is artistically woven into the plot. The film is inspired by the series of books written J.R Tolkien and according to the author, he created ‘a secondary creation' that became reality that pulled the audience in as soon as they start watching the movie. Another reason why this movie was a ground breaking success is that it offers detailed battle scenes, hand to hand combat, thrill, suspense and a splash of romance on the side. Let’s not forget the mind blowing locations, costume and the superb animation that never fails to amaze the viewers of all ages. The audience is captivated by the conflict that arises in the main plot and spreads through the various subplots that are introduced in the later parts of the movie. Each aspect of the storyline is given due homage by the actors. The Middle world also takes on a universal appearance with which the audience can relate...

...Brief Background of the Movie Twelve O’ Clock High is an American movie film released in December 21, 1949 based on the novel of Sy Bartlett and Beirne Lay Jr. about the 918th Heavy Bombardment Group of the U.S Army Air Forces (USAAF) during World War II. The movie transitions from present to past as Harvey Stovall recalls his days with the Bomb group at a (fictional) USAAF airbase in Archbury. From there on a series of main plot characters are introduced by the movie, Major Harvey Stovall (later on as Lieutenant Colonel) as the Group Adjutant, Colonel Keith Davenport as Bomb Group Commander who is later relieved of his command by Major General Patrick Pritchard (Millard Mitchell), Commanding General of VIII Bomber Command, Eight Air Force. Pritchard places Brigadier General Frank Savage in command of the Bomb group composed of men such as Lieutenant Colonel Ben Gately who is replaced by Major Cobb as Group Air Executive, Major “Doc” Kaiser (Flight Surgeon), Lieutenant Bishop (Medal of Honor Nominee) and Sergeant McIllhenny. The 918th Heavy Bombardment Group is composed of B-17 planes that conduct day precision bombings near Germany. Heavy losses and the inability of the Group Air Commander, Colonel Davenport, to inspire his men due to the “over-identification with his men” as deduced by General Savage, led to the group's loss of morale, discipline, courage and purpose. The movie progresses as the “Hard Luck” group performs various bombing missions under General Savage...

...NETFLIX Inc. Case Study BMGT500 Submitted by: Moid Ahmad Under guidance of: Mr. Roger L. Powell Introduction Netflix Inc. is considered to be in the video entertainment industry, which distributes to consumers through movie theaters, airlines, hotels, and in-home (Netflix, Inc; 2009). Netflix and its competitors serve in-home consumers specifically through a number of alternative channels, making up the different strategic groups or segments of their portion of the entire industry which includes brick and mortar (Blockbuster) and DVD vending machine rentals (Redbox), mail delivery (Netflix and Blockbuster), and online rental (Netflix, Amazon, and iTunes), pay-per-view video (available from specialty suppliers such as HBO and Showtime through your cable provider), and on-demand services (VOD; those offered through digital cable providers), as well as brick and mortar (Wal-Mart and Best Buy) and online purchasing (Amazon and iTunes). Historically speaking, this industry began as stand-alone brick and mortar rental stores such as Blockbuster and the later entrant Hollywood Video/Movie Gallery (which for the most part were all corporately-owned, with small portions of franchised locations) and local rental businesses. They started in VHS and progressed to DVDs along with technology and household adoption. They would typically carry about 2,500 titles and performed better when copies were rented and out of the store—the longer period the better. (Spinola) This would...

...Home Entertainment: Cable TV vs. Internet Streaming Service Miguel A. Resendiz Campbell University Home Entertainment: Cable TV vs. Internet Streaming In my household we are a family of four which includes my wife, my teenage brother, my daughter and me. When it comes to entertainment, we are very dependent on television. We have some shows that we enjoy as a family and because of the age difference and different interest we also have shows that we enjoy watching independently. The necessity of having a home entertainment that is low priced and adaptable to the needs of the family leads to analyze the decision whether to continue with cable television or switch to internet streaming. Home entertainment in America is constantly evolving side by side with technology. The Cable television industry has been dominating home entertainment market for many years but a new industry is now in the challenge, the new competitor is Internet Streaming Service and is also rising with technology. In his book, On-Demand Culture: Digital Delivery and the Future of Movies, Dr. Tyron explains, “Digital delivery not only affects the economic models of the movie industry but also promotes an on-demand culture, in which the practices of movie-going and the perceptions of media culture are transformed. Movie viewers are now re-imagined as individualized and mobile, able to watch practically anywhere or anytime they wish, while having access to aspects of film culture—such as film festivals...

...Draw on Bloom's taxonomy to demonstrate the value of thinking about thinking. Good morning/afternoon/evening, wherever this presentation finds you. I will be drawing on Bloom’s taxonomy to understand and demonstrate the importance of thinking about thinking. I will be discussing a brief history surrounding the taxonomy, what it means today, the different levels of thinking involved and how they differ, plus demonstrate how we can reach sophisticated thinking within academia and our lives using fictional examples. First, a bit of history to understand the subject at hand. The original framework was conceived as a means of measuring educational objectives. Benjamin S. Bloom initiated the idea, beginning in 1949, with a final draft published in 1956 (Krathwohl, 2002). Initially, the term taxonomy was unfamiliar as an education term and misunderstood, receiving little attention at the time (Krathwohl, 2002). The revised framework, was developed 45 years later by Anderson and Krathwohl in 2001 in order to fit the more outcome-focused modern educational objectives (Huitt, 2011). The differing frameworks are illustrated and you can see the similarities between the two. They are arranged in a hierarchy from less to more complex. I like the acronyms used here from LOTS (lower order thinking skills) to HOTS (higher order thinking skills). Further to revision of the taxonomy, Anderson and Krathwohl added a conceptualisation of knowledge dimensions (as shown) within which these processing...
