GIF ESSAY: Glass 1 Kimber Torres IDS 307T: Digital Writing Matthew GIF ESSAY: Glass 1 Kimber Torres IDS 307T: Digital Writing Matthew Beale Paper 1: GIF Essay February 09, 2020 The Movie: Glass It’s been what seems like forever and now the trilogy will finally be complete. The movie trailer looks unbelievable. The sequel to the Unbreakable and Split has finally happened.This psychological thriller produced by M. Night Shyamalan, starring Bruce Willis and Samuel L. Jackson that can only get better with the addition of the young Mr. Charles Xavier himself, James McAvoy. The guy is a genius when it comes to his craft. His talent was shining in the first sequel: Split. I couldn’t wait to sit down with a large bowl of popcorn with layered butter and a box of snowcaps at my side to fully enjoy what was about to unfold. The lights fade in the movie theater and the opening credits begin. The trailers play showing the audience some amazing movies coming out in the near future. Looks like I’ll be coming back when some of these movies come out. The room grows pitch black and the first scene opens up with a dark scene, of course. It looks like a large dirty room, maybe a boarded-up factory. Kevin GIF ESSAY: Glass 2 (McAvoy) comes out of the shadows and into the only light in the room. Ms. Patricia, one ego that orchestrates some of his actions and controls the other personalities walked through a door was and is facing four girls tied to a pipe in what looks like a factory. No soft introduction here! Ms. Patricia speaks to the girls. The Beast wants more sacrifices of those that have never seen trials and tribulations. He’s at it again. The scene cuts and shows a group of teens doing one of those internet challenges where they punch a stranger and videotapes it. The next scene shows one of the same teens at home reviewing the film and a shadow figure breaking into the house and throwing his brother against the wall. The scene develops unmasking the hooded figure as Bruce Willis’s character. The audience is introduced to his now grown up son and his wife, giving the audience an update of ‘what are they doing now’. We learn more about Bruce Willis’ (David) character and his son’s attempt to keep him out of trouble. The scenes continue to switch back and forth between one of Kevin’s alter personalities and David. You learn more on “Kevin’s” continued plan to punish GIF ESSAY: Glass 3 those that are “unworthy”. David runs into Kevin on the street, brushing up against him, and seeing the girls being chained up to the pipe. Kevin goes into ritual mode and turns into the Beast about to eat up the teenage girls in the factory, before David goes to save the day. The girls are saved with limited injuries, though one chick gets a desk straight to the face. Ouch! The two strong men exchange blows for blows until a group of people barge in, flashing Kevin with strobes, confusing and turning the Beast to another personality. Both are taken to a high security facility where they are locked in with a highly sophisticated lock triggered by their weaknesses (flashes for Kevin and water for David). Each flash brings out another one of Kevin’s personalities, showing the facial transformation and voice between each of them. We quickly learn that Mr. Glass, old Samuel L Jackson, is in the same ward where the majority of the first half shows him sitting and staring past the camera. He seems to be so medicated that he’s become a vegetable. I am sure the most expensive vegetable found on the big screen today. His role is much different than we have seen him in the past. GIF ESSAY: Glass 4 Not very close, but you get it. While locked up, each of our superhero’s backstory is shared. The audience quickly learns that it was Mr. Glass that caused the train accident that created David’s unbreakable powers and killed Kevin’s dad that led to his mother abusing him and the development of his superpower alter personalities. Mr. Glass starts coming alive after switching out his medication to limit his sedation. After setting up a meeting with the Beast, he starts enacting the preliminary phase of his escape plan that can only be done with Kevin’s alter ego’s buy in. Eli, Mr. Glass, paves the way for Kevin and his escape, goading David to follow in their footsteps to stop them. With the Beast in toe, Mr. Glass essentially rolls out, literally because he’s in a wheelchair, of the facility while the beast is tearing these guards up. GIF ESSAY: Glass 5 Our superheroes make it outside of the facility onto to beat the snot out of each other. After exchanging blows, the scene cuts and shows each of our “hero’s” loved ones. Something is about to happen. It is an M. Night Shyamalan production after all. Kevin’s closest loved one hugs onto him and breaks him away from the Beast and brings out the true Kevin into the light. A red dot lights up on his chest and the next thing you know there is blood pouring out of his chest. Kevin tells the chick that he liked being in the light and taking over and that he was going to do it until the end. The scenes account his abuse and how his other personalities were there for his protection when he was being abused. At this point, I’m not crying... I promise. The company that originally took them and locked them up in the facility shows up and are the ones behind the execution. David is held down and tortured/drowned in a puddle of GIF ESSAY: Glass 6 water. A puddle! What a way to go. Eli’s bones are crushed from an altercation with David. He is dying in his mother’s arms calling her mother and telling her that he was not a mistake as a son. His mother agrees and tells him that he was marvelous as a son. Mr. Glass hints to his story being an origin story with more to come as he dies in his mother’s arm. Okay, now I am crying. The scene cuts away and you find out that Eli sets up the facilities camera feed to be sent to each of their loved ones. The movie ends with each of the loved ones uploading the footage to the internet to bring to light everything that has happened to each of our superheroes. .

  • “Why So Serious?” Comics, Film and Politics, Or the Comic Book Film As the Answer to the Question of Identity and Narrative in a Post-9/11 World
    ABSTRACT “WHY SO SERIOUS?” COMICS, FILM AND POLITICS, OR THE COMIC BOOK FILM AS THE ANSWER TO THE QUESTION OF IDENTITY AND NARRATIVE IN A POST-9/11 WORLD by Kyle Andrew Moody This thesis analyzes a trend in a subgenre of motion pictures that are designed to not only entertain, but also provide a message for the modern world after the terrorist attacks of September 11, 2001. The analysis provides a critical look at three different films as artifacts of post-9/11 culture, showing how the integration of certain elements made them allegorical works regarding the status of the United States in the aftermath of the attacks. Jean Baudrillard‟s postmodern theory of simulation and simulacra was utilized to provide a context for the films that tap into themes reflecting post-9/11 reality. The results were analyzed by critically examining the source material, with a cultural criticism emerging regarding the progression of this subgenre of motion pictures as meaningful work. “WHY SO SERIOUS?” COMICS, FILM AND POLITICS, OR THE COMIC BOOK FILM AS THE ANSWER TO THE QUESTION OF IDENTITY AND NARRATIVE IN A POST-9/11 WORLD A Thesis Submitted to the Faculty of Miami University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Arts Department of Communications Mass Communications Area by Kyle Andrew Moody Miami University Oxford, Ohio 2009 Advisor ___________________ Dr. Bruce Drushel Reader ___________________ Dr. Ronald Scott Reader ___________________ Dr. David Sholle TABLE OF CONTENTS ACKNOWLEDGMENTS ..........................................................................................................................

    COWBOYS, POSTMODERN HEROES, AND ANTI-HEROES: THE MANY FACES OF THE ALTERIZED WHITE MAN Hyon Joo Yoo Murphree, B.A. Thesis Prepared for the Degree of MASTER OF ARTS UNIVERSITY OF NORTH TEXAS August 2000 APPROVED: Diane Negra, Major Professor Olaf Hoerschelmann, Committee Member Diana York Blaine, Committee Member C. Melinda Levin, Graduate Coordinator of the Department of Radio, TV and Film Steve Craig, Chair of the Department of Radio, TV and Film C. Neal Tate, Dean of the Robert B. Toulouse School of Graduate Studies Murphree, Hyon Joo Yoo, Cowboys, Postmodern Heroes, and Anti-heroes: The Many Faces of the Alterized White Man. Master of Arts (Radio, Television and Film), August 2000, 131 pp., references, 48 titles. This thesis investigates how hegemonic white masculinity adopts a new mode of material accumulation by entering into an ambivalent existence as a historical agent and metahistory at the same time and continues to function as a performative identity that offers a point of identification for the working class white man suggesting that bourgeois identity is obtainable through the performance of bourgeois ethics. The thesis postulates that the phenomenal transitions brought on by industrialization and deindustrialization of 50’s through 90’s coincide with the representational changes of white masculinity from paradigmatic cowboy incarnations to the postmodern action heroes, specifically as embodied by Bruce Willis. The thesis also examines how postmodern heroes’ “intero-alterity” is further problematized by antiheroes in Tim Burton’s films.

  • The Rebirth of Slick: Clinton, Travolta, and Recuperations of Hard-Body Nationhood in the 1990S
    THE REBIRTH OF SLICK: CLINTON, TRAVOLTA, AND RECUPERATIONS OF HARD-BODY NATIONHOOD IN THE 1990S Nathan Titman A Thesis Submitted to the Graduate College of Bowling Green State University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of MASTER OF ARTS August 2006 Committee: Dr. Simon Morgan-Russell, Advisor Dr. Philip Terrie ii ABSTRACT Simon Morgan-Russell, Advisor This thesis analyzes the characters and performances of John Travolta throughout the 1990s and examines how the actor's celebrity persona comments on the shifting meanings of masculinity that emerged in a post-Reagan cultural landscape. A critical analysis of President Clinton's multiple identities⎯in terms of gender, class, and race⎯demonstrates that his popularity in the 1990s resulted from his ability to continue Reagan's "hard-body" masculine national identity while seemingly responding to its more radical aspects. The paper examines how Travolta's own complex identity contributes to the emergent "sensitive patriarch" model for American masculinity that allows contradictory attitudes and identities to coexist. Starting with his iconic turn in 1977's Saturday Night Fever, a diachronic analysis of Travolta's film career shows that his ability to convey femininity, blackness, and working-class experience alongside more normative signifiers of white middle-class masculinity explains why he failed to satisfy the "hard-body" aesthetic of the 1980s, yet reemerged as a valued Hollywood commodity after neoconservative social concerns began emphasizing family values and white male responsibility in the 1990s. A study of the roles that Travolta played in the 1990s demonstrates that he, like Clinton, represented the white male body's potential to act as the benevolent patriarchal figure in a culture increasingly cognizant of its diversity, while justifying the continued cultural dominance of white middle-class males.
