Alice Howland is a Still Alice linguistics professor happily married with three grown children. All that begins to change when she strangely starts to forget Still Alice and then more. When her doctor diagnoses her with Early-onset Alzheimer's Disease, Alice and her family's lives face a harrowing challenge as this terminal degenerative neurological ailment slowly progresses to an inevitable conclusion they all dread. Along the way, Still Alice struggles to not only to fight the inner decay, but to make the most of her remaining time to find the love and peace to make simply living worthwhile. Written by Kenneth Chisholm kchishol rogers. Still Alice tells the story of a Still Alice cognitive psychologist diagnosed with early onset Alzheimer's disease played by Julianne Moore who in my opinion gave the best Still Alice of her career. Still Alice successfully shed the "Twilight" vampire stereotype. Just like any disease, your fight is as strong as your support system. Not only Alice's but Julianne Moore's support system is strong as well with a supporting cast of Kristen Stewart, Alec Baldwin, Kate Still Alice and Hunter Parrish, and a score that never has the audience wondering about their emotions but has them focused on Alice's. An amazing movie I recommend it to everyone. Looking for some great streaming picks? Check out some of the IMDb editors' favorites movies and shows to round Still Alice your Watchlist.

  • Searching for Feminist Answers to the Question of Life and Death with Dementia Dragana Lukić and Ann Therese Lotherington
    Fighting Symbolic Violence Through Artistic Encounters: Searching for Feminist Answers to the Question of Life and Death With Dementia Dragana Lukić and Ann Therese Lotherington I was at the F ward in the nursing home. One of the residents was Tiffany Doggett, who played the part of an angel in the American series “Orange Is the New Black.” Tiffany saw how Gilbert [another resident] wanted to open a window, but no matter the effort, he couldn’t! He became afraid and stepped back. So Tiffany immediately went towards the window and opened it, stepping out on the balcony and gazing at Siri [a nurse in nursing clothes] who was standing across. Siri, calm and confident that the “patient” would listen, said: “Come on, Tiffany! Come on, do not go there!” But Tiffany did not obey. She looked at Siri in the eyes and thought: “No, I do not want to! Because you should learn how it is to be accused of something you feel no guilt for.” Suddenly she jumped over the banister and committed suicide. Her intention was to prove that she was present, that she knew what she was doing, and to demonstrate for Siri how it feels like to become a dementia patient. Siri would have to understand and take the consequences for what had happened; because now, it would be Siri’s fault that one “patient” jumped and that she lost control over her. It was her fault but also an institutional mistake. It was the system to blame for Tiffany’s jump, and for the ward’s lack of fresh air that had triggered the situation.

  • First Look Program 2021
    WELCOME to FIRST LOOK 2021 Welcome to the First Look Festival of 2021! One of my great pleasures as Dean of the School of Cinematic Arts is being able to introduce our festival films each year, and congratulate all the deserving students who contributed to them. This year I am especially proud of the determination and dedication inherent in these projects, as they were completed within the limitations of Covid 19 protocols. Despite this, the work you will see here is of the highest quality, and many will go on to tour the film festival circuit and win awards in the year ahead. They will also serve as calling cards for the talented young professionals who are graduating from the School and launching careers as filmmakers. Our students always depend on their family and friends to help them through their programs. Filmmaking is a challenging endeavor, and it takes a village of encouragement to have the confidence needed to bring a project to fruition. This year our students truly needed support, as our campus was shut down and many of them had to return home. Despite not being able to meet in person, the filmmakers found ways to collaborate. And as their films will attest, did so brilliantly! So please enjoy this year’s festival. And congratulations to all the students whose names appear in the end credits of these films. Elizabeth M. Daley Steven J. Ross/Time Warner Professor and Dean USC School of Cinematic Arts I firmly believe that film has been the major art form of the 20th century, and will continue to have a powerful influence on our culture and society.

  • 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.
