The method used by the researcher to analyze the film is library research method, where the data are collected from script, books, and another article related with the study. The individual psychological is the approach that is used to conduct this study, because this study analyzes the literary work have a close relationship with the characteristic psychology of the major character. The result of the finding shows that The characteristic of Chuck Noland shows that Chuck has patience and rationality, love and affection, and big ego. In Cast Away movie Chuck has a lot of inferior feeling which makes him so afraid of doing everything. His inferiority here is his weaknesses in his life, such as; afraid of losing his girlfriend Kelly because he loves her so much. He was afraid if he died on the island alone without someone beside him. He is afraid of dentist. He was afraid if Kelly does not happy. His inferiority passed because he has a spirit to survive and makes people happy with his love and this is become Chuck’s striving to be superiority when he always tries to defeated his inferiority. While on the Island there is nobody living within, so there is no equipment to support Chuck’s life also. So here he strives to live and he strives to be a new primitive person on the island. So, on the next, to face his inferior he must strive to survive. vii PLAGIAT MERUPAKAN TINDAKAN TIDAK TERPUJI ABSTRAK DEON ARDI.

It analyzes Product Placement as the embedding of an advertising message within a fictional one, as the insertion of a trademarked object into the realisms of filmic space, and as the incorporation of corporate remakings of the world with film fictions.

  • Sui GENERIS GENIUS: HOW the DESIGN PROTECTION STATUTE COULD BE AMENDED to INCLUDE ENTERTAINMENT PITCH IDEAS
    THE JOHN MARSHALL REVIEW OF INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY LAW Sui GENERIS GENIUS: HOW THE DESIGN PROTECTION STATUTE COULD BE AMENDED TO INCLUDE ENTERTAINMENT PITCH IDEAS LINDSEY WEISSELBERG ABSTRACT Hollywood writers and idea men have struggled to gain protection for their entertainment treatments because their works are caught in the realm between unprotected ideas and fully protected expression. In addition to their failure to secure federal copyright protection for their treatments, idea men have also failed to obtain state law protection for their entertainment ideas, leaving them with virtually no legal recourse for idea theft. This comment proposes that Congress should create sui generis protection for ideas in the entertainment industry similar to the protections afforded under the Vessel Hull Design Protection Act. Copyright © 2009 The John Marshall Law School M Cite as Lindsey Weisselberg, Sui Generis Genius: How the Design ProtectionStatute Could be Amended to Include EntertainmentPitch Ideas, 9 J. MARSHALL REV. INTELL. PROP. L. 184 (2009). Sui GENERIS GENIUS: How THE DESIGN PROTECTION STATUTE COULD BE AMENDED TO INCLUDE ENTERTAINMENT PITCH IDEAS LINDSEY WEISSELBERG* INTRODUCTION Imagine moving to Los Angeles to follow your Hollywood dream of making it big as a screenwriter. After several years finding little success in the industry, you are given a shot at developing a drama for a major TV network. You pitch your idea with a fully detailed outline of characters and subplots. But then, after completing the script for the pilot episode, the network fires you; and your involvement in the project is over. The network, however, continues to run with your idea. About a year later, a highly anticipated new show premieres with striking similarities to the original idea you pitched to the network.

  • Cowboys, Postmodern Heroes, and Anti-Heroes: the Many Faces
    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.

  • Jackson Dockery Date: 3/11/16 Run Tom Run: the Unexpected
    Jackson Dockery Date: 3/11/16 Run Tom Run: The Unexpected Stereotype I think when you start a high-concept, analytical paper on the arts and what they mean in the world, you should always ask the hard-hitting, down-to-earth, what-the-people-want-to-hear questions that…well the people want to hear. Can you name a Tom Hanks character? And at first I know what you’re going to say, “Oh come on bro, you’ve got to be kidding me bro, Forrest Gump bro. Not a tough question. Not a tough YOU bro.” And although you may be true Uncle Eli from Boston, I’d omit that one because the character’s name is in the freakin’ title. So then you may go, oh Tom Hanks in Big, or Tom Hanks in Cast Away, or Tom Hanks in Saving Private Ryan, but as you go on you realize that these aren’t characters but merely an actor and the movies he’s been in. It’s no question Hanks is currently one of the world’s most beloved American actor, a man who is undeniably talented and versatile. But why then do we find ourselves with each movie he makes, more and more detached from the great characters that he’s creating? Is it the thick blur of celebrity? Perhaps the immense fame Hanks has garnered has not hurt his performance, but our perception of them. Hindering our ability to lose ourselves in a story and leave the real world outside for the theater we’ve walked into.

  • Benvenuti a Marwen
    Benvenuti a Marwen LA PRODUZIONE "Ho speranza e ho la mia città". -Mark Hogancamp Il premio Oscar ROBERT ZEMECKIS - il rivoluzionario film-maker che ha diretto Forrest Gump, Flight e Cast Away - dirige STEVE CARELL nei panni di un nuovo tipo di eroe in un film diverso da qualsiasi altro mai realizzato prima. Basato su una storia miracolosa, Benvenuti a Marwen racconta la storia di un uomo che lotta per guarire e per ritrovare il proprio spirito, grazie al potere della sua immaginazione artistica. Quando un gruppo di uomini una sera picchia selvaggiamente Mark Hogancamp (Carell) riducendolo in fin di vita e cancellando tutti i suoi ricordi, nessuno si aspetta che l'uomo si riprenda. Ma Mark, mettendo insieme pezzi della sua vecchia e nuova vita, costruisce meticolosamente in miniatura una mitica città belga, Marwen, nella quale può assumere l'identità del capitano Hogie, un pilota di arei da combattimento della seconda guerra mondiale. Qui, a Marwen, Mark può essere un eroe, combattere i suoi nemici e contare sui suoi amici. Mentre costruisce un'installazione artistica strabiliante, popolata da personaggi in miniatura incredibilmente realistici - un omaggio alle donne più forti che conosce - trae dal suo mondo fantastico la forza di cui ha bisogno per trionfare nel mondo reale. Un film audace, meraviglioso e puntuale diretto da un rivoluzionario pioniere del cinema contemporaneo, Benvenuti a Marwen dimostra che quando l'unica arma di cui disponi è la tua immaginazione ... puoi ritrovare il coraggio in un luogo assolutamente improbabile. Protagonista al fianco di Carell in questo film che unisce tanti generi diversi è LESLIE MANN (Giù le mani dalle nostre figlie, Tutte contro lui -The Other Woman) nei panni di Nicol, la vicina compassionevole che fa breccia nel cuore di Mark e viene aggiunta ai personaggi femminili di Marwen.
