...film together. This what makes a film artistic. Unfortunately Tom Tykwer’s Run Lola Run does not make the cut as a successful film due to the fact that it leaves the audience in confusion the characters are underdeveloped, the film is trying too hard to use different art forms that ultimately become a jumbled mess, and the plot doesn’t really make sense if it is just watched from beginning to end. Characters are very important in film, they are what make the movie. Characters t are memorable and enjoyable loathsome and...

...Giancarlo Diaz 10/23/12 English 101 Rough Draft Tom Twyker is a world famous filmmaker. He is best known for his two films “Run Lola Run” and the film adaptation of the book “Perfume” by Patrick Suskind. These two films that he wrote, produced, and directed have won many awards worldwide. His newest release “Cloud Atlas” is set to come out in theaters this winter, but luckily for me, I got to see a prescreening of the film earlier this summer. As a result, I had one crazy night. One day during the summer, my good friend Daniel gave me a call. He called to invite me to a prescreening of “Cloud Atlas.” I said yes without having any idea who’s in the film and who made it. I had no clue that Tom Twyker, one of my favorite filmmakers, was involved in the film. I was just happy to go see a free movie screening. When I went online to do some research on the film we were going to watch. I found that Tom Twyker’s “Cloud Atlas” is an adaptation of a novel by the same name from the author, David Mitchell. It is an exploration of how the actions of individual lives impact one another in the past, present and future, as one soul is shaped from a killer into a hero, and an act of kindness ripples across centuries to inspire a revolution. I was so psyched to see Tom Twyker’s name attached to the film. On the day that the prescreening was showing, I met with Daniel at his house. We printed out the tickets online, and then quickly left the house to drive to the movie theater in...

...Reaction Paper Portfolio Course: World Film History Ma Vie en Rose (France, 1997, directed by Alain Berliner): Living Under Social Pressure The movie Ma Vie en Rose was directed by a Belgian director, Alain Berliner, in 1997. A seven-year old boy named Ludovic (Georges du Fresne) is the main character of the movie. He is a boy who wants to be a girl. Moreover, he is totally sure that he is a girl and that it was just a simple God’s mistake that can be righted. However, he finds it extremely hard to live under social pressure that he faces at home and at school. Ludovic’s family tries to ignore his female-oriented games at first. As Ludovic’s mother Hanna (Michele Laroque) says that at the age of seven he was like any other child searching for his identity and individuality. But what happens in reality is that every member of his family shares opinion that he was born a boy and should stay a male until he dies. In fact, he is not given freedom of choice by his family. Ludo adores his mother Hanna and grandmother (Helene Vincent) and admires their beauty and femininity. These two women can make him happy, but he wants them to love him as he is. However, Ludo cannot find enough respect and tolerance for his female identity even from them. Little Ludo learns that expressing his female orientation publicly evokes a negative reaction from both adults and his peers at school. His classmates accept it as a rule that girls...

Skim when he is starting robbery Then magical scene at the window, because he could not hear her voice in reality—but her voice gets through. They have a conversation. Will you help me? Can’t we just get out of here? You see the shit I’m in. Why didn’t you wait for me? I did. You got here too late. Then torch song by Dinah Washington as they escape the bank. No other sound!

...what will happen in their near future. According to Run Lola Run by Tom Tykwer, the movie shows that love, fate, and death can lead to unexpected changes throughout a person's life. In a person’s eye, love is based on sacrificing their own lives for another loved one, so that their loved one would not be harmed by future events. An evidence for that would be that in the three different scenarios,...

...The film ‘Run Lola Run’ directed by Tome Tykwer depicts various themes associated with mise-en-scene. Each theme provides unique elements to the two major components of mise-en-scene; design and composition. Every scene is characterized by urgency, and by creating this mood, the film is able to convey a feeling of expectation through hinting at things to come. It is through expectation that, time, setting and character relationship are able to govern much of what unfolds during the course of the film. Time seems to be a major reoccurring theme in Run Lola Run. The film emphasizes time constraint with every scene. Among other themes, the effect of time interaction is depicted in photographs of future events to take place in the lives of the people Lola encounters. The attention paid to time is evident in the constant reference to clocks; and the scenes depicting Lola running around the city only add to the pressure of making the twenty minute deadline given to Lola’s boyfriend Manni by his boss Ronni. The fast paced music compliments the tension faced by the Lola and Manni and grabs the viewer’s attention. The upbeat music never lets the audience forget the main characters goal of coming up with 100,000 marks within the allotted twenty minute time span. One specific instance occurs when a close up of Lola’s face as she’s thinking about various people to ask for help cuts to a shot of a ticking clock. The sound of the clock along with a visual of her father shaking his head...

...In the film Run Lola Run the flow of the movie relies heavily on how quickly the shots move from one thing to another. The editing in the first ten minutes alone conveys to the audience that this film will revolve around rushing around, going fast, and as the title suggests, running. The fast moving editing techniques are well used to express the importance of time and how it matters. The opening scene is an array of memories about what just happened mixed with the current time frame of what is happening. The arrangement of these shots and the pace at which they evolve helps set the audience in a mood of urgency and gloom. The montage sequence links the story Manni is telling Lola, showing it as a single, continuous episode. Each cut falls perfectly into line with the dialogue as it is spoken allowing the audience further insight to the story line. The editing done is very precise and builds to a climax that really pulled me in. The tempo increases and increases, building a heightened sense of desperation. Then suddenly Lola screams and the action comes to a screeching halt. A quick cut to a turtle crawling across the floor emphasizes just how slowed down everything just became. The sounds put each cut on another level of amazement. At the 5:08 mark a heavy bass, techno genre song starts to play quietly. Between cuts you start hearing a slight noise like something is rushing by your ear. The continuity of each of their voices as they go from their location to the others,...

...For the family life cycle assignment, I chose to watch Boyhood and Stand by Me and both were very interesting to watch. The fact that Boyhood was filmed over twelve years was fascinating to observe and to be able to watch the main characters grow throughout the movie and watch the transition of each life stage was also very interesting and informative. Specifically, I chose Boyhood as the movie for this project because it was filmed over such a long period of time and I thought this would be the perfect movie to help describe the first three stages of the life cycle. When the movie first began Mason was six years old and when it ended he was a little over eighteen years old, which shows the ideal times of development through the stages. Stand...

...Quote Analysis “She shook each hand reluctantly; touching them was physically distasteful to her. But she made the effort to overcome this feeling so contrary to Christian charity and, in the spirit of mortification, forced herself to kiss the children who accompanied their mothers; they were all fat and pink, overfed and with dirty faces, like little pigs.” p. 245(59 words) The narrator of this quote is the Viscountess and it shows the hypocrisy of upper class that is seen throughout Suite Francaise. The Viscountess just convinced the wives of farmers who had extra food hidden in their houses while she herself refused to give or even sell any of their wealth of food with anyone. The Viscount, himself, was made the mayor of the town and had as such had a surplus of supplies. Just before the Viscountess talked to the ladies, “The viscountess said with sigh, remembering that she spent 850 francs on the shoes she was wearing (fortunately, the viscount was the local mayor and she had coupons for shoes whenever she pleased),”(p.g.241) revealing the ease of access to supplies. The viscount was actually attempting to rally the town together and create a community where everyone assisted everyone else except for his family which held on to everything they had. Another issues discussed in this quote is the attitude of the upper class of France to people of lower class. The Viscountess calls the children “fat and pink, overfed and with dirty faces, like little pigs.” Upon...

...PHILIPPINE FOLKLORE: ENGKANTO BELIEFS HISTORICAL BACKGROUND: Philippine mythology is derived from Philippine folk literature, which is the traditional oral literature of the Filipino people. This refers to a wide range of material due to the ethnic mix of the Philippines. Each unique ethnic group has its own stories and myths to tell. While the oral and thus changeable aspect of folk literature is an important defining characteristic, much of this oral tradition had been written into a print format. University of the Philippines professor, Damiana Eugenio, classified Philippines Folk Literature into three major groups: folk narratives, folk speech, and folk songs. Folk narratives can either be in prose: the myth, the alamat (legend), and the kuwentong bayan (folktale), or in verse, as in the case of the folk epic. Folk speech includes the bugtong (riddle) and the salawikain (proverbs). Folk songs that can be sub-classified into those that tell a story (folk ballads) are a relative rarity in Philippine folk literature.[1] Before the coming of Christianity, the people of these lands had some kind of religion. For no people however primitive is ever devoid of religion. This religion might have been animism. Like any other religion, this one was a complex of religious phenomena. It consisted of myths, legends, rituals and sacrifices, beliefs in the high gods as well as low; noble concepts and practices as well as degenerate ones; worship and...

The new product using whey and pomace became known as Fanta. Fanta was named in...
