...world catches a cold”, doesn’t always hold true. Since the U.S. has been in a recession, the rest of the world has suffered to a certain degree; however, the film industry in some parts of the world seems to be an exception. The global financial crisis resulted in the most severe worldwide recession and has since been faced with challenges for the last several years. The decline of the U.S. stock market has been the major challenge that viciously spread to various parts of the globe. For the most part, the global market has seen mixed results from film studios worldwide. Despite an increase in box office earnings, U.S. studios have been suffering, by having no choice but to downsize, and cut back on production and development. Although U.S. motion pictures are seen some adversity, interestingly the industry is a major private sector employer. According to the Motion Picture Association of America (MPAA) the industry employs 2.1 million workers and 95,000 companies, which spans from make-up artists to costume designers, stuntmen to set builders, accountants to caterers (MPAA, 2011). Domestically, this powerhouse of an industry has collectively contributed to more than $175B to U.S. GDP. Directly, the industry produces $42.1B in wages, which is approximately 32% higher than the national average. The median salary for film and television that includes high quality jobs as producing, marketing, manufacturing, and distributing motion pictures is nearly $82,000, which is 74% higher...

...waterfront. After Edie witnessed the men fighting for tabs on the waterfront, her father chastised Father Barry for not preventing her from being on the docks, stating “I'm surprised with you, Father, if you don't mind my sayin' so. Lettin' her see things ain't fit for the eyes of a decent girl.” The waterfront is viewed as unfit for women, and women are portrayed as needing the help and protection of a man to avoid the dangers of the waterfront. Kazan gives such a detailed account of the waterfront to use its corrupt and unique atmosphere as the backdrop to develop the theme of morality. The waterfront represents everything immoral in the world; it is the place which breeds the corruption of capitalism and the mob, the place where competition and the hunger for power run rampant. Kazan uses the space of the waterfront to develop the film’s narrative while simultaneously discussing these issues happening in real life. The film brings people’s attention to the corruption that exists in the unions and the capitalist business practices in the 1950s. Scenes reveal the hierarchy that exists within union...

...Introduction On the Waterfront is a 1954 film starring Marlon Brando as longshoreman Terry Malloy. The film focuses on union violence and mob involvement among dockworkers in New York. It is based on "Crime on the Waterfront", a series of articles in the New York Sun by Malcolm Johnson. The series won the 1949 Pulitzer Prize for Local Reporting. The stories detailed widespread corruption, extortion and racketeering on the waterfronts of Manhattan and Brooklyn (Mills). The film was a huge critical and commercial success and received 12 Academy Award nominations, winning eight awards, including Best Picture, Best Actor for Marlon Brando, Best Supporting Actress for the debut of Eva Marie Saint, and Best Director for Elia Kazan (Oscar history). Director’s Purpose Director Elia Kazan’s main purpose in making this film was to portray the faces behind the corruption and violence facing those in some waterfront unions. His intent was not to create a documentary but instead show the emotions of the people involved. The first page of the Waterfront shooting script contained the director’s note “[d]on’t be objective! This is not a Documentary” (Almereyda). By placing the focus on a few main characters rather than the larger union group, the director was better able to play out Terry’s inner conflict with himself as well as his personal relationship with Edie Doyle and his professional relationship with Johnny Friendly. In a sentiment echoed by the numerous awards this film has received...

...1 On the Waterfront The Recipient of eight Oscars (including four other nominations), On the Waterfront represented a shining light in the filmmaking industry and process. Among these Oscar were: Best Picture, Best Director, Best Actress, and Best Screenplay. With that many awards in such key areas, one can’t help but assume that they were each benefiting from each other. Each one adding to the others, making them even greater than they would be otherwise. There are a few scenes in the film that have become known as “classic” scenes in film history. These scenes effectively portray very real situations and character relationships that we as the audience can care about, and ultimately learn from. Over the years, many critics have praised On the Waterfront for having what has been called “a nearly perfect screenplay.” Written by Budd Schulberg, and based on the Pulitzer Prize-winning series of articles by Malcolm Johnson, the script brought the story to life. As a note of background, the film represented an opportunity for both Schulberg and Elia Kazan to escape, at least by proxy, some personal guilt they may have been harboring. By naming the names of colleagues associated with the Communist Party, they gave themselves a free pass, and were able to proceed undeterred with his own 2 career. Kazan also became one of the most high-profile witnesses to speak out and avoid blacklisting. On the Waterfront explains how it is fundamentally right to speak out in a situation...

...reference to at least one film, how did Hollywood address the paranoid, hysterical political climate of the 50s? The Cold War began in 1947 between the USSR and the USA. After World War II, both countries began to distrust each other, as they knew the amount of power each country had in terms of nuclear weapons. Not only did they distrust each other, but they lacked a mutual understanding of each other’s culture. The USA believed in capitalism and the USSR believed in communism. This lack of mutual understanding caused mass paranoia within America as they feared that communists would infiltrate their society. This hysteria was known as the Red Scare which lead to “a range of actions that had a profound and enduring effect on U.S. government and society.” (Red Scare, 2013). During World War II “moviegoers learned to appreciate cinema for what it was: a powerful delivery system of ideology” (Doherty, 2003, p. 19) and after World War II “Soviet Communism and American Democracy, found its domestic expression in fierce debates over the subversive influence of the popular media.” (Doherty, 2003, p. 21). Hollywood was scrutinized first for allegedly using the film industry to influence the public about communism. The House of Un-American Activities Committee (HUAC) was formed in 1938, and it’s investigations were “frequently focused on exposing communists working inside the federal government or subversive elements working in the Hollywood film industry” (Red Scare, 2013). On September...

McCarthyism and three international wars enhanced Anti – Communist resentments within the United States. A brief emergence of Socialist organizations in America heightened the fervor of conservative versus liberal views within cinematography.

...The world's top 10 most expensive marinas Tara Loader Wilkinson 13 Apr 2010 The world's super-yacht owners have a lot on their plate. Not only do they shoulder yearly management costs of up to 20% of their yacht's value, but they also have to find a berth for their boat - which can cost up to €2,900 ($3937) a night, according to new research on the top 10 most expensive marinas. Portofino, Italy The Italian resorts of Capri, Porto Cervo and Portofino (pictured) topped the first annual survey of the most expensive resorts in the world to berth a super-yacht, according to Wealth Bulletin, our sister title. However, prices can fluctuate wildly during peak times, especially in the famed South of France marinas of Monaco, St Tropez and Cannes. Andrea Pezzini, general manager at yacht management company Floating Life, said secret deals are common – so it helps to know someone at the marina. He said a client paid a staggering €15,000 for an overnight berth in Monaco during the Formula 1 Grand Prix race last year. 1. Capri, Italy Average daily mooring fee for super-yachts: €2,900 Number of super-yacht berths: 10 Average price of local property per sq/m: €11,688 Peak periods: The Rolex Capri Sailing week in May Officially the most expensive marina on Wealth Bulletin’s list and known as one of the Mediterranean’s most luxurious getaways for the wealthy, the tiny mountainous island of Capri off the Amalfi coast has a small marina with berths for 10 super-yachts...

...Arts in Applied English Approved by ________________ Chia-Chin Susan Sung, M.S. Chairperson of the Committee _______________ Chao-Chang Wang, Ph.D. Chairperson of the Department of Applied English Department of Applied English Ming Chuan University Kweishan, Taoyuan, Taiwan June, 2010 Abstract Disneyland is a fascinating worldwide industry, and also the most successfully run theme park in the world. When it comes to theme parks, Disney will be the first thing that comes to everyone’s mind. Because of the great success of Disney, researchers want to look into the reasons why it is so important and so attractive to the entertainment industry. For example, Disney’s Asian theme parks usually would apply local customs and festivals into their programs. And by doing so, it draws more local tourists to attend the events. Disney always pays attention to these cultural factors and uses them to its advantages. Plus, the special programs such as using stars to endorse the event also help attract younger generation. Although there are lots of elements that help make Disney into a worldwide industry, researchers focus on the cultural part. Thus, researchers apply the method of data-collecting, and comparison of different theme parks of Disney to come to the findings that culture does play an important...

...http://nyti.ms/1Kv55ax Far Away From Here In travel photography, as in writing, there's no shortcut to finding your own voice. By TEJU COLE SEPT. 23, 2015 Only a few slender strings were attached: two public readings and a commitment to spend the majority of the six months in the country. Beyond that, I would be left to my own devices. An apartment would be provided, and a stipend. I didn’t think about it for very long. I wrote back: Yes. The invitation had come from the Literaturhaus in Zurich, one of those wonderful arts institutions of which Europe seems to have so many. Every six months they selected one writer, from anywhere in the world, to stay in the apartment they ran with a foundation. When I received the invitation, I felt as though I’d won a raffle I didn’t even know I had a ticket for. Switzerland: The place comes with an easy set of mental associations. But I suspected there was more to it than its reputation for calendar-pretty landscapes, secretive bankers and regular trains, and here was a chance to see for myself. Besides, I had a manuscript to work on, a nonfictional narrative of Lagos, Nigeria, the city in which I grew up. Where better to write about chaotic, relentless, overpopulated Lagos than in modest, quietly industrious Zurich? There would be so little else to do in Switzerland anyway (according to my less-than-enthusiastic friends) that I would be mainly absorbed in writing during my time there. Perhaps I might even continue...
