  • Valkyrie Talent
    Valkyrie Talent: Tom Cruise, Bill Nighy, Terence Stamp, Tom Wilkinson, Clarice van Houten, Kenneth Branagh, David Bamber, Thomas Kretschmann, Eddie Izzard. Date of review: Thursday 22nd January, 2009 Director: Bryan Singer Duration: 122 minutes Classification: M We rate it: 2 and a half stars. Valkyrie has been widely billed as the first of Tom Cruise’s steps back into the A-list stratosphere. After all the couch-jumping, manager-firing, studio-hopping, Scientology-spouting weirdness, Tom has apparently decided to get his career back on track (despite the fact that it is arguably in quite good shape, with the star sporting a recent Golden Globe nomination for his quite hilarious turn in Ben Stiller’s Tropic Thunder). Valkyrie is indeed a very serious and sombre film, and despite the fact that it’s backed by a healthy budget, it is a film that is all about performances, so with all of that in mind, it does seem like a decent choice for an actor bent on returning to centre stage. Valkyrie is one of many recent films that tells a story about World War II as a good old espionage thriller, replete with the odd reflection upon some of our contemporary world’s conflicts. The film’s plot revolves around one of the numerous attempts that Germans army officers made to assassinate Adolf Hitler. Anyone who knows his or her history knows that there were quite a few attempts to kill the Nazi leader, but it’s of course also a widely known fact that Hitler survived all of those attempts, and the he suicided when the Allied victory became apparent.

  • Another, More Sinister Reality Jbftv
    ‘Another, More Sinister Reality’ (D.W., 1967): Class, Youth and Psychopathology from Saturday Night and Sunday Morning (1960) to Endless Night (1972) As has been argued elsewhere, the ‘“working class realism’ (Hill, 1986: 2) that started with Room at the Top (1959) emerged shortly after Hammer’s Curse of Frankenstein (1957), and had a strong relationship to horror from the start (Jancovich, forthcoming). In fact, key directors of working class realism experimented with horror; and both Clayton and Reisz followed their breakthrough films (Room at the Top and Saturday Night and Sunday Morning, 1960) with horror projects (The Innocents, 1961, and Night Must Fall, 1964). As early as 1963, then, reviews were claiming: While it would be early to proclaim that realism is dead in the new British cinema, it is noticeable that during the last year or so many of our newer directors have shown signs that they no longer find it enough. Mr. Jack Clayton has moved from Room at the Top to The Innocents. Mr. Tony Richardson from Look Back in Anger to Tom Jones, and the most notable recent recruits to the feature film [have started] by firmly throwing realism out of the window ... (Anona, 1963) If some filmmakers turned to horror due to a dissatisfaction with realism – ‘they no longer find it enough’ – the nature of this dissatisfaction explains the choice of horror as an alternative. In his discussion of working class realism, John Hill identifies a tension between description and narration, or between the depiction of the objective environments within which characters were located and the subjective worlds of those characters (Hill, 1986).

    FinalProject 25/08/2018, 930 PM COGS108 Final Project Group Members: Yanyi Wang Ziwen Zeng Lingfei Lu Yuhan Wang Yuqing Deng Introduction and Background Movie revenue is one of the most important measure of good and bad movies. Revenue is also the most important and intuitionistic feedback to producers, directors and actors. Therefore it is worth for us to put effort on analyzing what factors correlate to revenue, so that producers, directors and actors know how to get higher revenue on next movie by focusing on most correlated factors. Our project focuses on anaylzing all kinds of factors that correlated to revenue, for example, genres, elements in the movie, popularity, release month, runtime, vote average, vote count on website and cast etc. After analysis, we can clearly know what are the crucial factors to a movie's revenue and our analysis can be used as a guide for people shooting movies who want to earn higher renveue for their next movie. They can focus on those most correlated factors, for example, shooting specific genre and hire some actors who have higher average revenue. Reasrch Question: Various factors blend together to create a high revenue for movie, but what are the most important aspect contribute to higher revenue? What aspects should people put more effort on and what factors should people focus on when they try to higher the revenue of a movie? http://localhost:8888/nbconvert/html/Desktop/MyProjects/Pr_085/FinalProject.ipynb?download=false Page 1 of 62 FinalProject 25/08/2018, 930 PM Hypothesis: We predict that the following factors contribute the most to movie revenue.
