  • FILM REVIEW Moonlight, Directed by Barry Jenkins, USA, Altitude Films
    INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL OF JUNGIAN STUDIES, 2018 VOL. 10, NO. 1, 83–89 FILM REVIEW Moonlight, directed by Barry Jenkins, USA, Altitude Films, 2016, 1 hour 55 minutes Spring is often synonymous with Oscar season, but it is some considered reflection on the 2017 Best Picture that is necessary one year on. If it is news to you that Moonlight won the Oscar last year, then you are not alone. It is certainly among the least-marketed Oscar winners in recent decades. If you do know about the film, it is likely that it is in the context of its two-way fight for the prize with another more popular film, or perhaps from news coverage of a dramatic mishap on Oscars’ night. The film was the modern musical La La Land and the mix-up was the result of the wrong envelope being given and that the film’s name being read out instead of the winner Moonlight. A male employee from PricewaterhouseCooper’s – who administer the envelopes – is thought to have mistakenly given a duplicate Best Actress envelope (already won by Emma Stone for La La Land) to Warren Beatty. In a familiar commentary on the expectations social media places on creative industries personnel, it is possible the employee, Brian Cullinan, could have been distracted by his Tweeted picture of Stone moments before handing over the envelope. The event overshadowed much mainstream serious discussion of the film and did little to tempt staunch supporters of La La Land to see it. There are films that are designed to win Oscars and appeal to the middle-range, but it is difficult to suggest Moonlight is one of them, even with some of its missed opportunities to push the envelope of homosexual encoun- ters than those previously seen on mainstream US silver screens.

  • Coming-Of-Age Film in the Age of Activism
    Coming-of-Age Film in the Age of Activism Agency and Intersectionality in Moonlight, Lady Bird, and Call Me By Your Name 29 – 06 – 2018 Supervisor: Anne Salden dr. M.A.M.B. (Marie) Lous Baronian [email protected] Second Reader: student number: 11927364 dr. A.M. (Abe) Geil Master Media Studies (Film Studies) University of Amsterdam Acknowledgements First and foremost, I would like to thank Marie Baronian for her first-rate supervision and constant support. Throughout this process she inspired and encouraged me, which is why she plays an important part in the completion of my thesis. I would also like to thank Veerle Spronck and Rosa Wevers, who proved that they are not only the best friends, but also the best academic proof-readers I could ever wish for. Lastly, I would like to express my gratitude towards my classmate and dear friend Moon van den Broek, who was always there for me when I needed advice (or just a hug) during these months, even though she had her own thesis to write too. Abstract The journey of ‘coming of age’ has been an inspiring human process for writers and filmmakers for centuries long, as its narrative format demonstrates great possibilities for both pedagogy and entertainment. The transformation from the origins of the genre, the German Bildungsroman, to classic coming-of-age cinema in the 1950s and 1980s in America saw few representational changes. Classic coming-of-age films relied heavily on the traditional Bildungsroman and its restrictive cultural norms of representation. However, in the present Age of Activism recent coming-of-age films seem to break with this tendency and broaden the portrayal of identity formation by incorporating diversity in its representations.

  • Film I-Spring 2020 Plague Work Unit: New Hollywood Just Like We Did
    Film I-Spring 2020 Plague Work Unit: New Hollywood Just like we did with the French New Wave, we’re going to try to take a look at one more film movement this year: the New Hollywood movement. 1. What is New Hollywood? Watch the following mini documentary online explaining the direct line from Italian Neorealism to the French New Wave to New Hollywood to modern independent cinema: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=opQC45irmN8 2. Watching a New Hollywood film Watch the film The Graduate from 1967 directed by Mike Nichols. It can be watched or downloaded at: https://stlps- my.sharepoint.com/:v:/g/personal/jchamber4910_slps_org/EWjwYfyTA8xBkOkD_n2OGBcBI 9ifHOVw2AM0GT2T4N6qTQ?e=5IysPU 3. Writing comparatively You have two options! Do either one of the following two: Option 1: Choose any other American film made since 1967 that you can use to do a comparative study with The Graduate. This might be a film that shares themes with The Graduate or shows similar stylistic choices or one that you can analyze through a similar lens. Use that main area that they share to analyze the two films in comparison with each other. The final product should be two pages typed and should be uploaded to TurnItIn by Friday, May 15th. or Option 2: Watch Bonnie and Clyde from 1967 directed by Arthur Penn. The Graduate and Bonnie and Clyde were made at roughly the same time. Analyze them both in comparison with each other, both in terms of style and filmmaking choices and in terms of historical/sociocultural context and how they reflect the United States in the late 1960s.

  • The Forgiving Blue
    THE FORGIVING BLUE Lynn Fong nterspersed in the gentle lapping of ocean waves, a few tense notes of a violin crescendo as Chiron, the protagonist of Barry Jenkins’s film Moonlight , learns to swim. The water is a soft turquoise. The camera bobs along with it, pulled up and down Iand sometimes partially obscured by the waves. We, the audience, are right there with little Chiron as he experiences the waters of Miami for the first time. Juan, Chiron’s newfound, unlikely mentor, is hold - ing up Chiron’s small head while he teaches him to float. “You’re in the middle of the world,” Juan tells Chiron. The two are framed only by the turquoise water and a light blue sky. Juan demonstrates arm movements: “Go like this,” he instructs, “more athletic.” Chiron mimics him as he learns to paddle. Finally, Juan releases Chiron so he can swim on his own. “Go,” Juan says, and Chiron begins paddling by himself. Then, Chiron is alone. The music slows and fades away. He is indeed in the middle of the world as he swims, unaccompanied, unafraid, and free. Moonlight , which won the Academy Award for Best Picture in 2017, is a coming-of-age story. More specifically, it documents three stages in the life of Chiron, a young, gay black man growing up in an impoverished area of Miami. Even more specifically, the film offers an empathetic lens into the most intimate, defining moments of Chiron’s life: learning how to swim, putting a blanket on his drugged- out mother, reuniting with someone he’s loved after years of estrange - ment.

  • A Collection of Texts Celebrating Joss Whedon and His Works Krista Silva University of Puget Sound, [email protected]
    Student Research and Creative Works Book Collecting Contest Essays University of Puget Sound Year 2015 The Wonderful World of Whedon: A Collection of Texts Celebrating Joss Whedon and His Works Krista Silva University of Puget Sound, [email protected] This paper is posted at Sound Ideas. http://soundideas.pugetsound.edu/book collecting essays/6 Krista Silva The Wonderful World of Whedon: A Collection of Texts Celebrating Joss Whedon and His Works I am an inhabitant of the Whedonverse. When I say this, I don’t just mean that I am a fan of Joss Whedon. I am sincere. I live and breathe his works, the ever-expanding universe— sometimes funny, sometimes scary, and often heartbreaking—that he has created. A multi- talented writer, director and creator, Joss is responsible for television series such as Buffy the Vampire Slayer , Firefly , Angel , and Dollhouse . In 2012 he collaborated with Drew Goddard, writer for Buffy and Angel , to bring us the satirical horror film The Cabin in the Woods . Most recently he has been integrated into the Marvel cinematic universe as the director of The Avengers franchise, as well as earning a creative credit for Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. My love for Joss Whedon began in 1998. I was only eleven years old, and through an incredible moment of happenstance, and a bit of boredom, I turned the television channel to the WB and encountered my first episode of Buffy the Vampire Slayer . I was instantly smitten with Buffy Summers. She defied the rules and regulations of my conservative southern upbringing.

    Name_____________________ Date__________________ Film & Literature Mr. Corbo Film & Literature “Underneath their surfaces, all movies, even the most blatantly commercial ones, contain layers of complexity and meaning that can be studied, analyzed and appreciated.” --Richard Barsam, Looking at Movies Curriculum Outline Form and Function: To equip students, by raising their awareness of the development and complexities of the cinema, to read and write about films as trained and informed viewers.
