  • Dances with Wolves It Is Difficult to Imagine What It Would Be Like to Watch an Entire People and Their Way of Life Vanish Within a Lifetime
    Wink: An Online Journal 1 Film Review: Mackenzie Halfman Instructor: Tracy Helixon Dances with Wolves It is difficult to imagine what it would be like to watch an entire people and their way of life vanish within a lifetime. It is even harder to imagine being a part of that culture, knowing only a certain amount of time is left before everything previously known to that lifestyle is terminated. This predicament comes face to face with the characters in Dances with Wolves, an outstanding movie based on the unjust expulsion of the Sioux plains’ Indians. Directed by and starring Kevin Costner, the story follows Civil War-era soldier John Dunbar deep into the American Frontier and the lives of the people who once occupied it. The film’s unforgettable story, outstanding cast, and beautiful soundtrack make it both enjoyable and moving. Perhaps the most distinguishing of all features in the film is its story. Both novel and screenplay written by Michael Blake, Dances with Wolves allows viewers a better understanding of the Sioux. The story, through many carefully crafted segments of daily lives and personal conundrums, gets the audience to care deeply about the characters. The film begins by following Kevin Costner’s character John Dunbar, who self assigns himself to an abandoned soldier post in the American Frontier. He is alone with his horse Cisco for various scenes in the movie, introducing viewers to his habits and narrated thoughts. One scene shows Dunbar shortly after having encountered a Sioux member for the first time. Writing in his journal, his thoughts become narrated.

  • The Opening Scene of AAE
    The Opening Scene of AAE Much about Eve is suggested visually in the opening scene, which takes place at a formal function in which she is about to be awarded for "distinguished achievement" in stage acting. While the master of ceremonies lauds her "humility, her devotion, her loyalty . her deep and abiding love for us", the camera cuts to silent expressions on the faces of those who, we soon discover, know her intimately – and the camera is not kind in its observation of cynicism and disgust. Throughout this opening sequence, what we see and hear is guided by the first-person voice-over narration of the improbably yet suitably named, arrogant and vicious theatre critic, Addison DeWitt. This man sees all and knows all; when Eve rises to receive her prize, it is his point-of-view camera gaze that exposes the seething emotions of her "friends" in the audience. It is DeWitt's narration that controls the way in which Eve's story is told, and the sequencing of events, for as she extends her hands to grasp the award, DeWitt is granted the power to step out of his role as a character in the story, to freeze the film frame. In so doing, the onward-thrusting movement of narrative – Eve's ever-so-humble acceptance speech one minute later in story-time – is delayed until much later in narration and screen-time, via the "unfreezing" of the frame, shortly before the film's conclusion. Artistic/Literary References: Sarah Siddons (5 July 1755 – 8 June 1831) was a Welsh-born English actress, the best-known tragedienne of the 18th century.

Though the printed word is essential in learning, educators have been taking notice of the new visual and oratory stimuli and incorporated them into classroom teaching. The purpose of this idea packet is to further introduce teacher colleagues to this methodology and share a compilation of films which may be easily implemented in secondary social studies instruction. Though this project focuses in grades 6-12 social studies we believe that media should be infused into all K-12 subject areas, from language arts, math, and foreign languages, to science, the arts, physical education, and more. In this day and age, students have become accustomed to acquiring knowledge through mediums such as television and movies. Though books and text are essential in learning, teachers should take notice of the new visual stimuli. Films are familiar in the everyday lives of students.

Narrative voice corroborates this from the outset by evoking Eve’s “snaky activities in a once-peaceful garden” (284). The story focuses on two actresses: Eve Harrington and Margola Cranston. Eve is portrayed as the carbon copy of the famous actress Margola, who resembles the “childish figure of a Botticelli angel” (285). Mankiewicz’s film, All About Eve2, was taken directly from the short story, which appeared in Cosmopolitan magazine in May 1946.

  • October 4, 2016 (XXXIII:6) Joseph L. Mankiewicz: ALL ABOUT EVE (1950), 138 Min
    October 4, 2016 (XXXIII:6) Joseph L. Mankiewicz: ALL ABOUT EVE (1950), 138 min All About Eve received 14 Academy Award nominations and won 6 of them: picture, director, supporting actor, sound, screenplay, costume design. It probably would have won two more if four members of the cast hasn’t been in direct competition with one another: Davis and Baxter for Best Actress and Celeste Holm and Thelma Ritter for Best Supporting Actress. The story is that the studio tried to get Baxter to go for Supporting but she refused because she already had one of those and wanted to move up. Years later, the same story goes, she allowed as maybe she made a bad career move there and Bette David allowed as she was finally right about something. Directed by Joseph L.

  • All About Eve (1950) Movie Script by Joseph Mankiewicz
    All About Eve (1950) movie script by Joseph Mankiewicz. More info about this movie on IMDb.com FADE IN: INT. DINING HALL - SARAH SIDDONS SOCIETY - NIGHT It is not a large room and jammed with tables, mostly for four but some for six and eight. A long table of honor, for about thirty people, has been placed upon a dais. Diner is over. Demi-tasses, cigars and brandy. The overall effect is one of worn elegance and dogged gentility. It is June. The CAMERA, as it has been throughout the CREDIT TITLES, is on the SARAH SIDDONS AWARD. It is a gold statuette, about a foot high, of Sarah Siddons as The Tragic Muse. Exquisitely framed in a nest of flowers, it rests on a miniature altar in the center of the table of honor. Over this we hear the crisp, cultured, precise VOICE of ADDISON deWITT: ADDISON'S VOICE The Sarah Siddons Award for Distinguished Achievement is perhaps unknown to you. It has been spared the sensational and commercial publicity that attends such questionable "honors" as the Pulitzer Prize and those awards presented annually by the film society... The CAMERA has EASED BACK to include some of the table of honor and a distinguished gentleman with snow-white hair who is speaking. We do not hear what he says. ADDISON'S VOICE The distinguished looking gentleman is an extremely old actor. Being an actor - he will go on speaking for some time. It is not important what you hear what he says. The CAMERA EASES BACK some more, and CONTINUES until it discloses a fairly COMPREHENSIVE SHOT of the room ADDISON'S VOICE However it is important that you know where you are, and why you are here.
