  • The Artist This February 'Love Is in the Air' in the Library. What Better Way To
    This February ‘love is in the air’ in the library. What better way to enjoy Valentine’s Day than curled up on your couch watching a movie? From modern favourites to timeless classics, there are countless movies in the romance genre, so here at the Learning Curve we’re here to help you narrow them down. Get ready to laugh, cry, swoon, and everything in between with your favourite hunks, lovers, and heroines. Whether you're taking some ‘me time’ or cuddled up with that special someone, here at the library we have a great selection of DVDs. These can all be found on popular streaming services or borrowed from the library using our Click & Collect Service once lockdown is over. Be sure to have popcorn and tissues at the ready! The Artist Director: Michel Hazanavicius Actors: Jean Dujardin, Bérénice Bejo, John Goodman, James Cromwell, Penelope Ann Miller The Artist is a love letter and homage to classic black-and-white silent films. The film is enormously likable and is anchored by a charming performance from Jean Dujardin, as silent movie star George Valentin. In late-1920s Hollywood, as Valentin wonders if the arrival of talking pictures will cause him to fade into oblivion, he makes an intense connection with Peppy Miller, a young dancer set for a big break. As one career declines, another flourishes, and by channelling elements of A Star Is Born and Singing in the Rain, The Artist tells the engaging story with humour, melodrama, romance, and--most importantly--silence. As wonderful as the performances by Dujardin and Bérénice Bejo (Miller) are, the real star of The Artist is cinematographer Guillaume Schiffman.

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.

  • Through Casting in King Arthur and the Last Legion*
    On second thoughts, let’s not go to Camelot: situating the ‘historical Arthur’ through casting in King Arthur and The Last Legion* Tony Keen Abstract. Hollywood produced two major Arthurian movies in the mid-2000s, King Arthur (Antoine Fuqua, 2004) and The Last Legion (Doug Lefler, 2007), even though the latter only introduces Arthur in the final scene. Both choose to place their narratives within the ‘historical Arthur’ genre, rejecting the quasi- medieval setting used by Excalibur (John Boorman, 1981), and later the TV series Merlin (UK, 2008– present), and instead placing the story in the context of the end of Roman Britain and the collapse of Roman rule in the west. They thus come within the interests of this conference. This paper is concerned with the ways in which the two movies characterise post-Roman Britain, and in particular, how they use the casting of their lead actor to underline their respective characterizations. King Arthur presents a soldier’s-eye view of the world, and is largely anti-authority (in the shape of the Pope’s representative Germanus). Arthur is a man whose first loyalty is to his men; to this end, the movie casts Clive Owen, known for working class roles in the TV series Chancer (UK, 1990–1991), Croupier (Mike Hodges, 1998) and Gosford Park (Robert Altman, 2001), as Arthur, though supporting him with more upper class figures such as Ioan Gruffudd and Joel Edgerton as Lancelot and Galahad. The Last Legion’s hero, Aurelius, is, in contrast, a man whose first loyalty is to his emperor.

  • Unit 4 Lesson 4
    UNIT 4 - CINEMA AND TELEVISION Lesson 2: Brit Flick Fever Text 1 - Film review: Bridget Jones’s Diary Bridget Jones’s Diary is, quite simply, the finest motion picture released by Miramax Films since 1999’s The Cider House Rules . Based on the novel by Helen Fielding, the screenplay for Bridget Jones’s Diary (written by Four Weddings and a Funeral screenwriter Richard Curtis) successfully adapts the book into an easily- manageable 90 minutes chunk while retaining much of the humour and remaining faithful to the tone. Bridget Jones’s Diary is smart, sassy, and thoroughly enjoyable, and features one of the most endearing and believable characters to grace the screen this year. Synopsis: The film tells the story of a year in the life of an average, single, thirty-something British woman, who, armed with only her wits and charm (and a diary), goes in search of Mr. Right. Unlucky- in-love Bridget (Renée Zellweger) has two candidates: the fun and sexy Daniel Cleaver (Hugh Grant) and the dour Mark Darcy (Colin Firth), whom she overhears calling her a “verbally incontinent spinster” when they first meet at a party. Not surprisingly, she goes for Daniel, but he turns out to be a less-than-perfect choice. Thus, just when her interest in Mark begins to emerge (following his statement that he likes her just the way she is), he hooks up with a man-eating lawyer Natasha (Embeth Davidtz), who is determined to marry him. Meanwhile, she embarks upon a career in television news. Characters and casting: In England, the casting of American Renée Zellweger was initially greeted with much resistance by the press and the public.

  • Love Actually (2003) Major Credits: Director: Richard
    Love Actually (2003) Major Credits: Director: Richard Curtis Screenplay: Richard Curtis Cinematography: Michael Coulter Editor: Nick Moore Cast: Bill Nighy (Billy Mack), Gregor Fisher (Joe), Hugh Grant (The Prime Minister), Martine McCutcheon (Natalie), Colin Firth (Jamie), Lúcia Moniz (Aurelia), Emma Thompson (Karen), Alan Rickman (Harry), Liam Neeson (Daniel), Thomas Brodie-Sangster (Sam), Kris Marshall (Colin), Chiwetel Ejiofor (Peter), Andrew Lincoln (Mark), Keira Knightly (Juliet), Laura Linney (Sarah), Rodrigo Santoro (Karl), Martin Freeman (John), Joanna Page (Judy), Billy Bob Thornton (US President), Heike Makatsch (Mia), Claudia Schiffer (Carol) Production Background: Richard Curtis had previously written the very successful Four Weddings and a Funeral (1994), Notting Hill (1999), and Bridget Jones’s Diary (2001); Love Actually was the first film he directed from his own screenplay. A paradigmatic ensemble piece, Love Actually incorporates at least twenty significant parts to tell nine—count ‘em!—integrated (if somewhat contrived) stories about the permutations of Love. Note how often the characters speak the word “actually.” Contemporary audiences familiar with Love Actually as a Christmas classic—in the UK as much as in America—may be surprised to learn the film received largely mixed reviews when it first appeared (a mediocre 55 on Metacritic). Critics generally descried its sentimentality and the profusion of plots, which tested credibility and dampened sustained involvement in any one of the stories. Even those who went along with the film’s “unrelenting schmaltz,” labeled it “Fluff, Glorious Fluff” (Ella Taylor, LA Weekly). Today Love Actually has become, for many, a beloved holiday tradition, a status that may obscure its artistic achievements.
