    WARNER BROS. PICTURES Presents An ESPERANTO FILMOJ Produktado A HEYDAY FILMS Production An ALFONSO CUARÓN Film SANDRA BULLOCK GEORGE CLOONEY Music by STEVEN PRICE Costume designer JANY TEMIME Effects Supervisor TIM WEBBER Editors ALFONSO CUARÓN MARK SANGER Production designer ANDY NICHOLSON Director of photography EMMANUEL LUBEZKI, A.S.C., A.M.C. Executive producers NIKKI PENNY CHRIS deFARIA STEPHEN JONES Written by ALFONSO CUARÓN & JONÁS CUARÓN Produced by ALFONSO CUARÓN DAVID HEYMAN Directed by ALFONSO CUARÓN Academy Award® winners Sandra Bullock (“The Blind Side”) and George Clooney (“Syriana”) star in “Gravity,” a heart-pounding thriller that pulls you into the infinite and unforgiving realm of deep space. The film was directed by Oscar® nominee Alfonso Cuarón (“Children of Men”). Bullock plays Dr. Ryan Stone, a brilliant medical engineer on her first shuttle mission, with veteran astronaut Matt Kowalsky (Clooney). But on a seemingly routine spacewalk, disaster strikes. The shuttle is destroyed, leaving Stone and Kowalsky completely alone— tethered to nothing but each other and spiraling out into the blackness. The deafening silence tells them they have lost any link to Earth…and any chance for rescue. As fear turns to panic, every gulp of air eats away at what little oxygen is left. But the only way home may be to go further out into the terrifying expanse of space. “Gravity” was written by Alfonso Cuarón & Jonás Cuarón, and produced by Alfonso Cuarón and David Heyman (the “Harry Potter” films). Chris deFaria, Nikki Penny and Stephen Jones served as executive producers. The behind-the-scenes team includes multiple Oscar®-nominated director of photography Emmanuel Lubezki (“Children of Men,” “The New World”); production designer Andy Nicholson; editors Alfonso Cuarón and Mark Sanger; and costume designer Jany Temime (the “Harry Potter” films).

  • Women-Led Films: Different Female Representations in Popular Cinemas
    International Journal of Social Sciences Vol. VIII, No. 2 / 2019 DOI: 10.20472/SS.2019.8.2.006 WOMEN-LED FILMS: DIFFERENT FEMALE REPRESENTATIONS IN POPULAR CINEMAS. FEI JIUN KIK Abstract: This is a comparative study to look into cinematic feminism between English-speaking blockbuster and non-blockbuster films that screening from 2012 to 2015. This study will choose films that led by female character(s) and to explore, compare, and justify the feminism qualities that reflected through the female characters and storylines. In this study, six female-led films are selected: The Hunger Games, Mad Max: The Fury Road, Cinderella, Gone Girl, Brooklyn, and Carol. This study assumes that modern high budget productions are portraying feminism conventionally through unrealistic characters and masculine domination stories; while the non-blockbuster productions are portraying feminism progressively through reflective characters and self-determination stories. Blockbuster films’ actresses are commonly created as recognisable female superheroes with strong masculine traits but living in a men-ruled world, or princesses that living in fairy tales. The cinematic feminism is superficial and ambiguous in blockbuster commercial films. Hence, non-blockbuster films’ actresses are characterised with conservative and realistic images but given more chances to deal with alternatives, decisions, and progressions throughout the development of the story. Non-blockbuster films’ characters and stories are less emphasizing on masculine feminism but more focusing on subtle yet significant feminism expressions. To achieve the objectives and hypotheses, this paper uses two methods – quantitative method with a designed coding sheet in content analysis; and a qualitative method with film reviews for textual analysis.
