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.

During the course of treatment, a painful past is revealed and a new hope begins. Director: Denzel Washington Writer: Antwone Fisher Stars: Denzel Washington, Derek Luke, Joy Bryant A`grab at your heart' story about a troubled young man's search for happiness. skomormj14 July 2003 Antwone Fisher is a young sailor filled with rage, easily provoked, and unable to control his emotional outbursts. His temper earns him mandatory sessions with a naval psychiatrist, Jerome Davenport. Davenport unlocks the sources of Antwone’s anger- an abusive childhood and fear of abandonment. The film takes us on a journey of his life marked by periods of intense loneliness while searching for family. The director introduces two minor twists to the plot: Antwone’s reluctance to trust as he begins dating for the first time. revealing the effects of childhood on his adulthood. The second involves problems with the psychiatrist's marriage. Denzel Washington's presence commands our attention and emotions. This film's direction and acting exposes our souls and grabs our hearts. Pastor Joe’s Comments and Questions Antwone Fisher is the true story of a young man whose mother gave birth to him in prison and was forced to grew up in foster homes. Abused as a child, Antwone was told that he was nothing and almost came to believe it himself until a man of compassion and healing walked beside him.

  • Bamcinématek Presents Strange Victories: Black Soldiers and World War II, a Series Focused on African-Americans’ Experiences During the War, Nov 10–16
    BAMcinématek presents Strange Victories: Black Soldiers and World War II, a series focused on African-Americans’ experiences during the war, Nov 10–16 The Wall Street Journal is the title sponsor for BAMcinématek and BAM Rose Cinemas. October 10, 2017/Brooklyn, NY—From Friday, November 10 through Thursday, November 16, BAMcinématek presents Strange Victories: Black Soldiers and World War II. Inspired by the release of Dee Rees’ extraordinary new epic Mudbound (sneak peek screening at BAMcinématek Oct 24 with director Dee Rees in attendance), BAMcinématek presents a cross section of films that explore the unique experiences of black soldiers who, in racially-segregated units, fought the spread of fascism overseas only to face racism again on home soil. These groundbreaking classics, compelling documentaries, and revisionist action spectacles shine much-needed light on the experience of black soldiers and veterans as the United States continues to struggle today with its legacy of historical, systemic racism. The series begins with Spike Lee’s Miracle at St. Anna (2008—Nov 10), a necessary corrective that mobilizes familiar tropes of the traditional Hollywood World War II movie to present a powerful story of black infantrymen who fought for a country that saw them as second-class citizens. On a similarly thrilling scale is Anthony Hemingway’s Red Tails (2012—Nov 12) about the Tuskegee Airmen, a legendary African-American fighter pilot unit. Its all-star cast features David Oyelowo, Michael B. Jordan, and Cuba Gooding, Jr. Mark Robson’s Home of the Brave (1949—Nov 14) was among the first studio-era dramas to address the challenges faced by black soldiers, including PTSD, bigotry, and the embedded racism of everyday life.

Antwone Fisher Abstract This is a review of Antwone Fisher (2002). This film er view is available in Journal of Religion & Film: https://digitalcommons.unomaha.edu/jrf/vol7/iss1/11 Miles: Antwone Fisher Antwone Fisher is the story of a troubled young man who reacts to the world around him, violently, because he does not know what else to do. Based on the true- life story, Antwone (Derek Luke), a Navy Petty Officer, has a hair-trigger temper, and is sent to see Navy psychiatrist, Dr. Jerome Davenport (Denzel Washington). Here, Fisher begins to open up about his troubled past. Antwone's narrative, aided by flashbacks, reveals a horrific physically and sexually abusive childhood. His father was murdered two months before his birth, in prison, to a mother who abandoned him after her release. Rev. Tate, who with his wife adopts Fisher, is a charismatic minister, and while he is marginal to the story, he is emblematic of a religion long on charisma and condemnation, but short on mercy.

Voters making selections in their own branch categories list only film titles on their ballots, not the individuals responsible for the various achievements. For that reason, as well as for reasons of printing time and convenience of using this pamphlet, full credit rosters are not provided for the listed films. An exception to the above exists in the four Acting categories, where simply listing titles would not provide enough voting information. Actors Branch members filling out their Nominations ballots must indicate both titles and the particular performers they are voting for. For that reason, the Reminder List provides a listing of up to fifty cast members for each film. Pictures eligible in the Animated Feature Film, Documentary Feature and Foreign Language Film categories are also eligible in the Best Picture category, provided they meet the qualifications for the category.
