From the Paper
"Although Lloyd and Beau have both had illustrious careers, Jeff seems to have surpassed both his father and older brother. And not only has his career been more successful, it is said that no one who has ever worked with Jeff has a bad word to say about him (Jeff pp). Peter Bogdanovich, who directed him in the 1971 movie, "The Last Picture Show," has said, "I've never, ever heard of him pulling a star turn or showing ego," and John Goodman, who co-starred with Jeff in "The Big Lebowski," said, "It's like watching a diamond cutter...When you look at the diamond, you don't think of the work, you just notice there's no flaws" (Jeff pp)"

» Click here to show/hide summary

Abstract
This paper describes the characters and plot of D.W. Griffith's film "Way Down East" and explains that, in order to identify with the characters, it is necessary to first understand what their lives were like and what it was like to live at that time. The paper describes the societal morals and standards of the era in which the film was written and the sexual double standards that existed at that time and explains that the message that Griffith wanted to convey in the movie was that these double standards were unfair and unjustifiable.

From the Paper
"Anna Moore is a model of "true womanhood" in the Victorian sense (Welter, 1983). Purity and constancy are considered prime virtues, and she is portrayed as this type of woman. Griffith sees the ideal Victorian woman as delicate, sweet, innocent, very domestic, and sheltered from evil and the corruption of the real world. Anna, when she comes to Boston, is exactly like this. Ironically, it is precisely because of these virtues that idle, rich Lennox Sanderson, a sly, conniving womanizer, is attracted to her and determined he will have his way with her. He sees seducing her as an adventure and doesn't care that trusting him will ruin her. He tricks her by arranging for a fake wedding ceremony, and because she is infatuated by him and impressed with his sophisticated ways, she consents to marry him."

The British Film Industry and Thatcherism, 2005.
This in-depth paper examines the British film industry during the 1980s while also focusing on the political climate in England during this same period in which the country was led by Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher.
4,954 words (approx. 19.8 pages), 21 sources, APA, AU$ 203.95
» Click here to show/hide summary

Abstract
This well-researched paper delves into the history of Britain's film industry which, according to the writer of this paper, was considered second rate in comparison to other countries including Germany, France and the U.S. This paper discusses the film industry's apparent lack of focus primarily during the 1980s, which was a direct result due to the political climate during this particular era. The writer reviews and analyzes British author John Hill's book "British Cinema in the 1980s" which provides in-depth insight to this specific topic. The writer contends and explains why British filmmakers were essentially apathetic and uncaring about Thatcherism and went on to challenge many of the country's values. This paper examines the impact of various films made in England during the 1980s including "Gandhi," "Room With a View" and "Chariots of Fire." This paper also focuses on the cultural conflicts between the older and younger generations in England which greatly impacted the types of films that were produced during at that time. The writer stresses that during the 1980s the older generation stuck by the traditional and old fashioned Victorian morality system which still exists today while the younger generation chose to adhere to a more free-flowing Edwardian type value system.

From the Paper
"There were several opportunistic policies that had been passed, and there was also a growing lack of satisfaction in manual labor. Therefore, it was very evident that in Britain, even at the end of the 1960's and the beginning of the 1970's, there was indeed a large amount of class differences in English society, and society in general was divided into there major classes, which were the upper classes, the middle classes, and the working classes. The divisions were in fact brought about by the differences in wealth, power, and the types of work, the ideologies, the status, and the opportunities that were available. At the same time, this period saw a vast change in the people's attitudes towards traditions, old values, taboos, customs, and the all-pervasive parochialism, and this was the very attitude that was reflected in all the New Age films that were made during that time."

Anime, 2006.
The article discusses the Japanese art form of "anime". The writer looks at its popularity and its distribution world-wide.
3,100 words (approx. 12.4 pages), 14 sources, MLA, AU$ 146.95
» Click here to show/hide summary

Abstract
The paper describes that anime is, in essence, the Japanese form of animation. The writer explains that in general, anime is characterized by extremely stylized and colorful graphics and the use of vivacious and vibrant colors. The graphics used depict energetic and effervescent characters that are set in a large number of scenes and settings. Numerous story lines are used that are aimed at a variety of different types of audiences. The paper discusses that in English, the word 'anime' actually transliterates a Japanese term, and its history of origin can be traced back to the abbreviation of the transliteration of the English word 'animation', into Japanese.

From the Paper
"Why has anime been so very successful? How has it become globalized today? A major part of the reason for the popularity of anime is that it has managed to spread all throughout the world, and everyone knows what it is. As in the general case where something that spreads all over the world quite naturally becomes a global phenomenon, global recognition and fame means that anime has now become a global occurrence and it is well loved by people other than from whose nation it originally was created. One must study the extent of the globalization of anime based on the amount of permeation or penetration into other societies that it has managed to achieve in recent times. This also means that one must look carefully at and analyze the numerous factors involved in why exactly anime became a global phenomenon, and this would in turn mean that one would be able to comprehend how it became so very popular among a large variety of people, all over the world."

"The Time Machine", 2006.
This paper compares the film version of H.G. Wells' "The Time Machine" with the original book.
1,185 words (approx. 4.7 pages), 6 sources, APA, AU$ 65.95
» Click here to show/hide summary

Abstract
This paper explains that both H.G. Wells' classic 1895 novel "The Time Machine" and the 1960 film version, directed by George Pal, focuses on what could happen if the war between the classes was allowed to develop and intensify with the consequences being the growth of human cruelty and the development of the human race into something inhuman, unsympathetic and overwhelmingly powerful. The author points out that George Pal's adaptation of "The Time Machine" centers on a plot line that is easily recognizable in the novel; the unnamed "Time Traveller" in the novel (portrayed in the film by Rod Taylor, presumably as H.G. Wells himself) is a Victorian scientist who constructs a contraption with the capability of sending him into the far distant future, specifically to the year 802,701 A.D.. The paper suggests that the film version of "The Time Machine", despite its visual effects and superb acting, cannot be an improvement on the original novel, due to Wells' extraordinary ability to take the reader into the unknown without the advantage of pure visual imagery as provided by the cinema.

From the Paper
"As a character, Weena represents the opposite of the horrible Morlocks, yet she also symbolizes the world of the future as a young girl without any knowledge of the past or any inclination to know what lies ahead in the future. In the novel and in the film, this device tells the reader and the viewer that the world of the far distant future will be made up of white and black, presumably good and evil, yet is also symbolizes the disparity between the social classes which was very evident in Great Britain when "The Time Machine" was first published in 1895."

Technological Dystopia in Film and Fiction, 2006.
This well-researched paper analyzes the relevance of robots and robotic technology in both film and various written works of fiction.
2,566 words (approx. 10.3 pages), 12 sources, MLA, AU$ 125.95
» Click here to show/hide summary

Abstract
The writer of this paper examines the issue of technological dystopia by highlighting the negative aspects surrounding the inclusion of fictional robots in both film and written works of fiction. The writer discusses why the characters or images portrayed by robots cause either admiration or resentment to the audience. This paper also explores the underlying issues that authors and filmmaker are trying to convey in using robots as central characters in their stories. This paper looks at the human-like robots in author Isaac Asimov's science fiction novels. This paper analyzes the impact of robots and advanced technology in films such as "Terminator" and "I, Robot." This paper discusses the common theme prevalent in numerous films and novels pertaining to the perfection of robots and the imperfection of human beings. This paper also analyzes the relationship between the fictional robot and man.

From the Paper
"Like any other machine invented by man, robots are shown to have the capacity to malfunction. Unlike a malfunctioning watch, car, or any other machine, robots are portrayed to have superior intelligence and consciousness. This makes the "malfunction" even more dangerous, since they can manifest harm with superior intent and capability. A robot defect is magnified because it can create an "intelligent" danger that humans may not be able to handle. There's also the factor of consciousness. Robots can become self-aware and realize that they are superior to humans. The implications of this are vast and debatable. Perhaps they will cooperate with humans and regard us as their creator, or realize that they are the superior beings and enslave humanity. Regardless of the result, authors always highlight this possibility. Something that has the superior capability to do good also has the same capability to do harm, so fail-safe devices should be put in place."

» Click here to show/hide summary

Abstract
It is often said that art imitates life, but the onslaught of televisions shows that deal with crime scene investigation have jurors expecting for life to imitate art. This is described as the CSI Effect named after a popular CBS television series. This paper explores the impact that the CSI effect has had upon jurors and the judicial system and also investigates the impact of the CSI effect on prosecutors. It also explores the some of the positive factors that have come about as a result of the CSI Effect.

Outline
Introduction
CSI Effect
Pressure Placed On Labs and Forensic Experts from Jurors Suffering From the CSI Effect
Positive Impact of the CSI Effect
Coping with the CSI Effect
Conclusion

From the Paper
"Although the creator of CSI asserts that the technology and types of forensic evidence shown on the television program are not realistic, there are many who disagree. In fact some experts that have worked on the show and other similar shows have quit because they believe that the shows are detrimental to the judicial system and may influence potential jurors in a negative way (Botluk & Mitchell (2005). In addition, some experts believe that the shows can unknowingly be teaching criminals how to get away with crimes (Botluk & Mitchell (2005). For instance, a criminal may watch the show and learn how crime scene investigators find perpetrators."

From the Paper

He also uses manipulation as he tries to get to know Rita and make her fall in love with him. He manipulates her day after day to learn everything about her and become the "perfect" man for her. However, he finds that finally this does not work anyway, and he becomes the perfect man by altering his own personality and his own way of thinking."

Abstract
This paper discusses the historical veracity of the 1961 movie "Judgment at Nuremberg", a fictionalized account of the post-World War II Nuremberg Trials. The film focuses on an actual trial of judges who carried out the laws promulgated by the Nazi State. The paper provides an extremely detailed outline of the movie's plot development, delving into an analysis of the characters and their actions and motivations. The paper concludes by examining how the movie parallels -- and deviates from -- history.

From the Paper
"Assigned to the trial as Chief Judge is Dan Haywood (Spencer Tracy), a low profile justice, who by his own admission, was not the original or subsequent choice. The prosecutor is Col. Tad Lansing (Richard Widmark) an "army man" who vows to convict the four ex-German Judges. Defending the accused is Hans Rolfe (Maximilian Schell) who must convince the court that the defendants were acting only for the love of their country. Among the defendants are respected Judge Ernst Janning (Burt Lancaster) who has written several books on law accepted the world over. Lawson accuses the defendants of signing orders for the sterilization of innocent men and the execution of those who opposed to the Reich and the extermination of the Jews. He puts Rudolph Peterson (Montgomery Clift) on the stand as a victim of sterilization. Rolfe manages to expose the pitiful Peterson as mentally challenged. Later Irene Hoffman (Judy Garland) is put on the stand to explain her alleged affair at the age of 16 with an elderly Jew. As his coup de grace, Lawson shows a film depicting the horrors of German concentration camps.
In between the sessions, Judge Haywood strikes up a friendship with Madame Bertholt (Marlene Dietrich) the widow of a former German general, in whose former home the judge is staying. In spite of their differences they begin to grow fond of each other."

From the Paper
"Catwoman, directed by the French Director Pitof, makes a climbs-down with the audience to the point of starting when Joel Schumacher puts rubber nipples on the bat suit and treated his fetish for neon-lit sets. Catwoman is Batman and Robin once again excitedly crapping over all the well-treasured achievement of 'serious' comic book movies and approaching with full vigor. Taking into account the marketing aspect, it is an easy thing to put the blame on the actress on Halle Berry due to the awesome debacle of a film. This is due to the fact that she is the one who is running around the 'nameless computer-generated city" draped in an ill fitting leather attire and doing the role of embarrassing scenes in whish she gulps down 6 cans of Tuna fish or at times she is crazy for a catnip. To discharge this role, Berry was paid millions. The audience rightly was not prepared to accept this rubbish. The true wedgie in the crotch of Catwomen is director Pitof, who had experience with special effects and Hollywood hack, who has a difficult time in feeling confident with the obsolete filmmaking devices such as "acting, "drama", & self-control for a long period to really make a movie out of this Bob Kane created character.

Darkness in War, 2006.
A review and comparison of the movie "Apocalypse Now Redux" and the Joseph Conrad book "Heart of Darkness".
1,020 words (approx. 4.1 pages), 2 sources, APA, AU$ 59.95
» Click here to show/hide summary

Abstract
This paper examines the shared central theme of both Joseph Conrad's book, "Heart of Darkness", and Francis Ford Coppola's film, "Apocalypse Now Redux". The paper studies the Kurtz character, who comes to be criticized for continuing to do what he had done previously under army control, but now on his own authority. The paper studies how the other characters react to Kurtz and his ensuing madness. In both the book and the movie, there are numerous possibilities for an endless abuse of power by foreigners in a primitive jungle setting. The paper demonstrates how this setting tends to bend their minds and release their dormant savage energies. For example, the paper shows how in "Heart of Darkness", gun-crazy members of the company are depicted firing wildly upon anything and everything as they progress up the river. Likewise, the paper analyzes how the men in the patrol boat rigid (PBR) in "Apocalypse Now Redux", act even more brutally, due to the circumstances of the Vietnam War.

From the Paper
"The dominant theme of Heart of Darkness is man's vulnerability to his own darker nature and the various ways in which this terrible, savage, proto-man can be unleashed; power, the jungle, "the Company," all serve as catalysts for the emergence of this hidden, voracious id-thing within us all, most realized in Kurtz. In Apocalypse Now Redux, Coppola is right on target in exploring this theme, his choice of Viet Nam in the sixties providing all the requisite elements: madness, power, the jungle, and "the Company" are all present, the latter being represented by the United States (US) Army, or perhaps the USA as a whole. This last touch is ingenious, as it calls up a whole series of speculations regarding the various forms of imperialism. In Conrad, set at the turn of the century, the imperialism is traditional, overt. In Coppola, the US presence is just as overt, yet the pretense upon which it is based is more ideological, geopolitical."

Alfred Hitchcock, 2006.
This in-depth paper analyzes the film techniques of one of America's greatest filmmakers and directors, Alfred Hitchcock.
3,058 words (approx. 12.2 pages), 6 sources, MLA, AU$ 144.95
» Click here to show/hide summary

Abstract
This paper details Hitchcock's unique talent for drawing the audience into his characters' thoughts, actions and emotions. This paper focuses primarily on three of the director's films, "Rear Window," "Notorious" and "Vertigo." The writer of this paper delves into Hitchcock's use of the subjective approach which when done correctly lets the viewing audience see into the minds of the characters on the screen. The writer contends and explains how Hitchcock's subjective storytelling and proper camera angles allow the viewer to see the point of view of the characters. This paper analyzes the director's use of subjective cinema which presents an idea in the mind of the character without the need for dialogue while at the same time using a point-of-view shot camera sequence resulting in a build-up of suspense. This paper contends that Hitchcock's use of the subjective approach is a powerful method of filmmaking, even more so than the actual acting. This paper details how the subjective approach along with specific camera angles in "Vertigo" allow the viewers to identify with the protagonist Scottie while the cinematography gives the audience a true sense of the dizziness and fear of falling felt by the character.

From the Paper
"The poison scene with its sequences of Alicia knowing what is happening is another example of the subjective techniques used by Hitchcock. As noted above, the audience has information that even the protagonist does not have. At the start of the scene, the audience knows that Alicia is being poisoned by Sebastian and his mother, because they know she is working for the Americans. The scene also shows the different type of actual camera shots: The establishing shot opens the sequence, frequently an exterior and sets the scene. The long shot (LS), which shows all or most of a fairly large subject (for example, a person) and usually much of the surroundings and extreme long shot where the camera is at its furthest distance from the subject, emphasizing the background."

Monsters in Literature, 2006.
This in-depth paper analyzes various works of Western literature in which the authors utilize monsters or images of evil to symbolically represent the dark side of humanity.
4,151 words (approx. 16.6 pages), 11 sources, MLA, AU$ 180.95
» Click here to show/hide summary

Abstract
The writer of this well-researched paper contends and explains the manner in which the theme of monsters in classic Western literature originates from religious, cultural and linguistic sources. This paper focuses primarily on Mary Shelley's "Frankenstein" and Victor Hugo's "The Hunchback of Notre Dame," both classic romantic novels which clearly depict dark and gothic images. This paper explores Shelley's writing style which illustrates how evil can emerge from the human psyche literally as well as symbolically. The writer discusses and details the similarities in both novels. This paper analyzes Hugo's intention when describing Quasimodo who is slightly more appealing than Frankenstein, albeit Quasimodo's appearance does convey a certain amount of fear. This paper contains several selected portions of text from both novels which are relevant to the specific topic detailed in this paper. The writer also discusses how this particular style of dark writing has evolved in more contemporary and up-to-date works by authors such as Stephen King as well as in films such as "Fatal Attraction" and "Silence of the Lambs."

From the Paper
"There is little question that Hugo fully intended Quasimodo to evoke horror in his readers. He creates Quasimodo as a grotesquely deformed, almost non-verbal, and deaf. Interestingly, Hugo assigns the character a friend, if not a creator as in Frankenstein, but as a protector--one who supposedly has the best interests of the monster at heart. This friend, Dom Claude Frollo, ironically on some levels represents the "best" of humanity as is exemplified by his devotion to the Church and a life of God. However, the reader soon sees the irony, as well as the inherent evil of the human heart not in the monster, but in the supposedly "good" human man. This, the reader sees most clearly in the following passage, perhaps one of the most striking in the novel, when Frollo, a supposed beacon of hope and mercy, passes by Quasimodo being tortured by a terrible mob."

"Heart of Darkness" and "Apocalypse Now", 2006.
A comparative analysis of Joseph Conrad's novel "Heart of Darkness" and the movie "Apocalypse Now".
1,296 words (approx. 5.2 pages), 2 sources, MLA, AU$ 70.95
» Click here to show/hide summary

Abstract
This paper examines how both "Heart of Darkness" and "Apocalypse Now" depict the inherent cruelty and devastation of colonialism and imperialism: "the horror, the horror" of hostility, violence, murder, rape, and destruction. It discusses how neither Conrad nor Coppola suggest that any good comes from colonization even if war does permit heroes to emerge and how in addition to the macro-cosmic consequences of colonization, both "Heart of Darkness" and "Apocalypse Now" show how imperialistic practices wreak havoc on the individual and collective psyches of the oppressor and the oppressed.

From the Paper
"Both Coppola and Conrad use nature, notably the jungle, to emphasize the eventual meaninglessness of human activity, to strengthen their portrayals of basic human instincts like anger and fear, and to draw out the differences between the European colonizers and their victims. Especially in Heart of Darkness, the jungle also serves as a means to explain some of the motives behind colonization: the desire to rape natural resources and the symbolic desire to tame wild people. The Africans have been living in "the heart of darkness" for thousands of years; for the European invaders, the jungle is another enemy; it is hostile and they view it as such."

» Click here to show/hide summary

Abstract
This paper details the plot and the main characters of Kurtz and Willard in Coppola's film which focuses on America's involvement in the Vietnam War. This paper also examines the plot and main characters of Kurtz and Marlow in Conrad's novel which depicts the devastation in central Africa brought on by colonialism and imperialism. This paper analyzes the similarities in the characters of Kurtz in both works. This paper discusses the similar endings in both stories in which Conrad and Coppola succeed in offering the reader and viewer a small glimmer of hope. This paper explores the manner in which Coppola and Conrad use nature, primarily the jungle, to depict basic human instincts such as anger and fear. This paper also analyzes Conrad's and Coppola's similar portrayals of the cruelty and devastation of colonialism and imperialism albeit in different parts of the world and in different eras.

From the Paper
"For Conrad and Coppola, colonialism and imperialism destroys the psyches of both the oppressor and the oppressed. In Heart of Darkness and in Apocalypse Now, the protagonists struggle between their sense of duty, loyalty, and obligation with their sense of compassion and sheer disgust. Marlow and Willard both signify the probable state of mind of many American soldiers during the war in Vietnam, and of many European traders during the colonial era. Their illusions shattered by what they encounter in the jungle, Marlow and Willard can nevertheless not completely wrest themselves from their origin and cultural identity. One of the reasons Kurtz is such a legendary figure in both stories is that the man attempted to traverse the worlds. Both Kurtzes suffer immensely as a result, and both come across as being egomaniacal and completely deluded. The Kurtzes simultaneously despise the native peoples and love them, but their love is not borne of respect."

Film: "Lone Star", 2005.
This paper discusses the film "Lone Star", directed and written by John Sayle (1996), a story about the Texas-Mexico border and its people.
935 words (approx. 3.7 pages), 1 source, MLA, AU$ 54.95
» Click here to show/hide summary

Abstract
This paper explains that, in the film "Lone Star", the town of Frontera is inhabited by people from different races includes Mexicans, Mexican-Americans and Native Americans. The author points out that, because of the different races there are a lot of misunderstandings and uneasy relationships perhaps caused by the differences in the peoples' culture thus the diverse races and cultures became the border within Frontera's community. The paper suggests that history can create a burden depending on how the people create things out of what happened in the past. Several long quotations.

From the Paper
"The pictures that John Sayle had drawn in the Lone Star, showing how the peoples' lives, culture, and racial differences, had demonstrated how the people were compelled to live in a troubled community. This was particularly shown in the character of Charley Wade, who was described as a racist and unfair sheriff. However, despite of the racial differences, Tomas Sandoval indicated how the story had also shown that the borders were not barriers between people, but it was the people and from the history, that they live with them that creates barriers between themselves."
