The goal of this exercise is to draft the introduction of your scholarly research essay.
Due by 10:00 a.m. Tuesday, April 24th
Estimated time: 1 hour
Re-read “Motivating Your Argument,” then draft an introduction for your scholarly research essay in which you:
- briefly present your exhibit to your readers
- describe the intellectual or interpretive problem you’ve observed
- ask the central question that you will try to answer in your essay
Your introduction should be two paragraphs long. Post your responses below.
Horror movies have been an all time favorite for movie lovers. There are various types of horror movies, where some can be funny and others can be gruesome and leave you with nightmares. Yet, the movie Cabin in the Woods is definitely a horror movie with an original twist. Cabin in the Woods is about 5 college friends going off into the forest to vacation in a little cabin. What they don’t know is that this cabin isn’t just ordinary, it is actually a set up because two scientists are using this cabin to manipulate the horrors that happen to these friends. It is a horror movie with people controlling the horror aspect.
Cabin in the Woods already has it’s twist with the manipulation of horror involved but the one thing critics seem to notice as well is the familiarity with the horror scenes in the movie. For example, the use of the chainsaw killing, the monster appearing underwater, etc. The reason why is it so familiar is because these horror tactics are in fact, movie cliches. They are the one thing that happens all the time in each horror movie. With the use of these movie cliches, Cabin in the Woods isn’t just different but genuine and unique as it tries to imitate these cliches. What people don’t seem to question, the reason for the use of imitation? How does imitating these movie cliches make Cabin in the Woods so different than your average horror movie? The central question would be, what does imitation of movie cliches say about horror movies?
Good work! As discussed in class, revised questions might be: Why is the movie regarded as fresh and original despite its repeated use of horror movie clichés? What does this movie’s success reveal about American viewers’ fascination with horror movies in general?
Of course, this would mean that you have to use sources to establish the premises of these questions e.g. the movie is regarded as “fresh” and “original.”
Death Note talked about Yagami Light was a top law student. He had a sense of justice and dreamed of becoming a police in future. However, he saw that many criminals were not be punished by law from television and newspaper. He even went to look for those criminals, but he could not do anything. He felt that he had studied so many laws, and none of these laws were used at all. One day, Yagami picked up a Death note. The note said that if a person’s name had been written on it, the person would have died. At first, he did not believe it. He casually wrote down the name of a criminal on the Death Note from television. The criminal was really dead next day. Yagami felt that he had gained the power to change the world. He wanted to create a new world without crime. He wrote the names of many criminals on the Death Note. These criminals were dead one after another. The crime rate in the world had fallen. Yagami was called Kira, meaned God. He had a large number of believers. The death of a lot of criminals attracted the attention of world police. They sent the world-renowned detective L to investigate these cases. Yagami and L set up a duel.
General criminal case process: the police collect evidences and catch the suspects. The police confirm the evidences and obtain further evidences by interrogating suspects. The police refer the evidences to the court to prosecute the suspects. The suspects are convicted the crime through the court. Nevertheless, in the movie, Yagami wrote down the criminals’ names on Death Note from television and newspaper. Some criminals were convicted, and some were not. He even wrote down the time, place and cause of death of the criminals in Death Note. He wanted to punish criminals with the power of Death Note. He even used Death Note to kill FBI agents who were investigating the cases about him. He became a person who could manipulate death. What does Yagami’s use of Death Note say about the benefits and dangers of vigilante justice?
Good effort but note that your introduction does not yet clearly introduce the intellectual problem you want to explore. Do more research on the existing conversation about vigilante justice in Death Note. As discussed in class, your question is good but should specify that the movie is commenting on vigilante justice in specific contexts e.g. modern, Japanese society.
“COCO” is an American cartoon style move which was produced by Pixar Animation Studios and released by Walt Disney Pictures. In this movie, the 12-years-old boy who named Miguel Rivera enters the land of death accidentally. In the land of death, Miguel wants to find his famous musician great-great-grandfather—Ernesto, so that Miguel can get his bless in order to go back real world. In a coincidence, Miguel knows that Ernesto is not his grandfather but Hector. Hector was Ernesto’s partner, and he created many famous songs, but Ernesto murdered him for forcibly occupying reputations. Eventually, Miguel successfully tell the truth to the world.
The movie’s background is the day of death which is traditional festival in Mexican culture. It is obvious that the protagonist is a Mexican little boy. Basing on Mexican culture background, this movie tells another conception about death. In our common senses, people will only dead one time. However, movie COCO says that everyone will die two times, and the second death call final death. Only a person is forgotten by other people in the real life, he or she will die totally. This is an intriguing conception of death. We can see the director use two different appearances to present Miguel and his ancestors in the movie. Therefore, how do dead ancestors and Miguel in movie COCO represent cultural conception about death in Mexican culture?
What does movie COCO say about the meaning of life for those who have died?
As we discussed in office hours, the current question is leading you to simply summarize information about the treatment of death in Mexican culture. To create an analytical project, you will need to better understand the existing conversations about the film. For example, if you discover that there is an existing conversation about how the film teaches American kids/viewers how to think of death differently, you might want to explore the pattern in the film in which all the dead characters are essentially like living people. Therefore, your question might be: Although death is clearly a central theme in Coco, the Land of the Dead is depicted as a place that is full of life. Therefore, what messages might the film Coco saying about life?
“Captain America: Civil War” is a 2016 American superhero film based on the Marvel Comics character Captain America, produced by Marvel Studios and distributed by Walt Disney Studios Motion Pictures. In Captain America: Civil War, disagreement over international oversight of the Avengers fractures them into opposing factions—one led by Steve Rogers and the other by Tony Stark.approximately one year after Ultron’s defeat in the nation of Sokovia at the hands of the Avengers, Steve Rogers, Natasha Romanoff, Sam Wilson, and Wanda Maximoff stop Brock Rumlow from stealing a biological weapon from a lab in Lagos. Rumlow blows himself up, hoping to kill Rogers. When Maximoff throws the explosion into the sky with telekinesis, it damages a nearby building, killing several Wakandan humanitarian workers.U.S. Secretary of State Thaddeus Ross informs the Avengers that the United Nations (UN) is preparing to pass the Sokovia Accords, which will establish a UN panel to oversee and control the team. The Avengers are divided: Tony Stark supports oversight because of his role in Ultron’s creation and Sokovia’s devastation, while Rogers has more faith in his own judgment than that of a government. Unwilling to wait for authorization to apprehend Zemo, Rogers and Wilson go rogue, and recruit Maximoff, Clint Barton, and Scott Lang to their cause. With Ross’s permission, Stark assembles a team composed of Romanoff, T’Challa, James Rhodes, Vision, and Peter Parker to capture the renegades. Stark’s team intercepts Rogers’ group at Leipzig/Halle Airport, where they fight until Romanoff allows Rogers and Barnes to escape. The rest of Rogers’ team is captured and detained at the Raft prison, while Rhodes is partially paralyzed after being inadvertently shot down by Vision, and Romanoff goes into exile.
I noticed that Tony Stark/Iron Man, who’s racked with guilt over the destruction his superhero battles have wrought across the world and seeking to make amends. That’s why he wanted the Slovakia Accords to be passed. So due to his guilty feeling he assembled a team to stop Captain America and his “rogue” team so that the government may oversee their actions. With this being done what does that really say about the benefits and liabilities of superheroes and their sense of justice?
Good effort. However, you need to review the Identifying Problems handout to clarify what intellectual problem you are trying to address. Also read the model student introductions to see how students have successfully introduced their exhibits and the intellectual problems they are interested in exploring.
“Borat! Cultural Learnings of America for Make Benefit Glorious Nation of Kazakhstan” is a 2006 released British- American mockumentary (or mock documentary) released by 20th Century Fox. In the movie-like mock documentary Sacha Baron Cohen, who is the writer and the producer, plays the main character Borat. Borat Sagdiyev is a fictional reporter from Kazakhstan who visits America learn about American culture so that he can take the knowledge back to benefit Kazakhstan. With his sidekick Azamat Bagatov, he travels to America with an intent to stay in New York. However, after watching Palema Anderson on Baywatch he falls in love with her and decides to pursue her in California so that she may marry him. After deceiving Azamat of his true intentions, Borat sets out with him on a road trip to a California in an ice cream truck. Along the way, he has hilarious interactions with real American people as Borat. However, he also manages to reveal deeply rooted hypocrisy and non-liberal views within people in walks of life in America. At the end of adventures, though failing to capture Pamela Anderson as his wife, he returns to Kazakhstan with Azamat and a new wife named Lunelle, a prostitute he met in his travels.
Though the movie is very controversial due to its unrealistic depiction of a Kazakhstani people, it receives much praise for its candid revelations of inner narrow American cultural mentality in people. However, what most discussions about the movie overlook is that these flaws are all mostly depicted by white people in stereotypically conservative Southern states. Why would the movie choose to present America as a whole with only mostly Southern states? Why would they choose to depict narrow mentality with white people even though America is a diverse multi-cultural country? What are the implications of such a choice?
Why does the movie choose to depict racist reactions of mostly white Americans in stereotypically conservative Southern States to Borat’s exaggerated foreign antics? What are the implications of such a choice?
Good start. As we discussed in office hours, a more focused question might be: Does the film’s choice to only feature/highlight the bigotry of white Southern Americans undermine the praise it receives? Or does it reveal the film’s deeper messages that might be easily overlooked?
Holocaust education helps student to think critically and self-reflection.From this education , they can recognize the tragic consequence of holocaust.During the Holocaust religious, moral, and legal systems failed in deterring the dangers of prejudice, apathy, and in difference.Holocaust education offer a path way for student to consider the recent issue and make them realize that abolishing the civil rights of one group can lead to the abolition of those rights for all, so each person must take a stand against evil or finally risk forfeiting all Individual freedom. And holocaust education also attempt to bless those dead people in holocaust.
The movie ” the boy in the striped pajamas” is an holocaust movie which use children as main characters. Two main characters live in different background and social status. Bruno is an German kid, he doesn’t understand the dirty things his father did. He was confused at the bad opinions of Jews , and make friends with Jew kid -Sammuel. However, at the end of the movie ,protagonist aura doesn’t work both of them died in the concentration camp. Actually , Sammuel is more mature than Bruno, he knows what would happen in the camp , but he still let Bruno come with him which cause Bruno’s death.This would make viewers think it is an cruse from Sammuel . Do the tragic death of Bruno and Samuel help or hurt the purpose of holocaust education?
Good effort! Your introduction, however, makes the assumption that there is an existing conversation about how the movie contributes to Holocaust education. Can you find and use a source to show that others currently think the movie helps teach viewers about the Holocaust? Or a quote from the director or producer that states the intention was to educate viewers about the Holocaust? It would be even more helpful if you research what is currently said about this aspect of the movie that you are interested in. Do viewers and reviewers currently think the ending is important? Problematic? Find more sources to help you clarify the intellectual problem you are trying to explore.
“Avatar” is the most famous fantasy movie in the world because it uses 3D viewing including RealD 3D, Dolby 3D, XpanD 3D and IMAX 3D formats。And it is also an American epic science fiction film. The movie shows that in 2154 years the RDA company is trying to exploit the rare mine of “Pandora world” which is “unobtanium”. In the meantime, the scientists use Na’Vi-human hybrids called “avatars” to try to communicate with the intellectual race called Na’Vi who have 10-foot tall and blue skin. They also adore the mother of nature called Eywa. Furthermore, there are two avatars that one is Jack Sully who replaces his dead elder brother, another one is Dr. Grace Augustine. They are having a good relationships with native people in padora. but when they suggest that they need to leave the place that they are living now, the Na’Vis are choosing to fight with the RDA company and protect their homeland. Finally, RDA company decides to invade the padora world by using endless warplanes, gigantic bulldozer and robotic fighter. At the end of the movie, the jack is deciding to help the Na’vi to against the RDA company with a super dragon called “Leonopteryx”. In the end，he overcomes the RDA company with Na’vi and whole species of nature.
The problem is that violence is anywhere in podora wolrd after RDA company invades. Therefore, the central problem is expanxionism. And i will solve this problem by analyzing the elements from the movie.
exoansionism: colonialism n modern n oullution n european n manifest destiny(american)
Review and apply the Identifying Problems handout to clarify the intellectual problem you intend to explore. Currently, you seem interested in the behavior of the human characters/the RDA company. However, you must now specify what pattern you specifically are curious about. Are you interested in how they deceive and use violence against the native Na’vi people to achieve their goals? Read more articles and reviews to understand the existing conversations about these aspects of the movie. Key terms you might be interested in include colonialism, imperialism, expansionism.
In recent years, films about variation themes have been particularly popular with audiences. Mutations in a variety of genes, and mutations in chemicals, make the viewer excited. Most of the variants in the mutant movies are ferocious and aggressive
In “COLLECTIVE INVENTION” Mutations in a variety of genes, and mutations in chemicals, make the viewer excited. Most of the variants in the mutant movies are ferocious and aggressive. In this film, the hero is a normal young man, he is gentle and timid, because of poverty, he goes to a pharmaceutical factory to do human experiments. Because of the side effects of new drug development, they become fishers. After the mutation he did not attack humans, but he lived more carefully. Because of his appearance, he received the attention of all people very quickly, and became involved in the controversy of public opinion. From the beginning, he was loved by the people and wanted to kill him. Poor he did nothing but fell victim to human experiments. And at his side, his relatives tried to make money from him, and his friends wanted to use him for fame and fortune. In the movie, we can see that the fish are more human than the normal people, and the real terror is human.
In the movie, the behavior of the people around the protagonist shows how the selfishness and the insidious nature of human nature really hurt a person？
In the movie, the protagonist is transformed into a fish man by the drug factory as an experiment. But his relatives and friends did not really care about him and wanted to use him to gain their own advantage. Did their selfishness hurt the fish? In addition, because of the special attention of the fish man, the public opinion from the beginning of the love of the fish to the back of the transformation to kill the fish. Is public opinion a form of violence?
Commendable effort. However, it seems you are trying to determine a question without having first identified an intellectual problem. Review the Identifying Problems handout. You should also research existing opinions about the film. For example, it seems that celebrity is a central theme of the film (and one mention in your revised question). If no review deeply examines this theme, you might ask: What is the film trying to say about the nature of celebrity in Korean society?
“Harry Potter and the Sorcerer’s Stone” is the first movie of the Harry Potter series. The original novel Harry Potter series was world wide well known fantasy fiction book. In the beginning of the movie 10 years old boy Harry Potter constantly abused by his aunt and uncle. But, his life changed in his 11th birthday. Harry received an acceptance letter into “Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry”, delivered by giant man named Rubeus Hagrid. Hagrid told Harry that he was a wizard and his parents were murdered by the most evil and powerful dark wizard. Hagrid helps Harry to prepare for his school year and Harry begin to learn about the magical community. The movie mainly focused on how 11 years old Harry enjoys, suffers, and learns during the first year in the magical school Hogwarts. Because Harry doesn’t know anything about magical community, everything is interesting and strange in his first year. Heroic adventure of 11 years old Harry has been loved by many people.
However, there is another barely noticeable heroic character exists in this movie. Neville Longbottom is one of Harry’s friend who assigned in same house Griffindor. Neville Longbottom is chubby and coward boy, often forget somthing, and bullied by Malfoy. If someone describes the characteristic of Neville, they would say he is a funny moment of this film. Yet, Neville Longbottom shows his heroic aspect when he fight against Harry. Despite of his timidity and weekness, Neville tries to stop Harry because he believes it’s right. Even though Neville was easily defeated by Hermione, his action resulted in Griffindor’s victory at the end of the movie. Therefore, Neville provides different image of hero that contrast to heroic of Harry Potter.
What does difference between Harry and Neville speak about the concept of talent and chosen people.
Good work. Research more to find out what is already being said about Neville in order to know if you can *add* a new insight to this conversation. Apart from this, you can calrify your question by first revising your intellectual problem. It seems like you’ve noticed that the prevailing opinion about who is heroic in the film ignores or dismisses the heroic actions of Neville. Then you might ask: What modern (Western?) cultural assumptions about heroism does this reveal?
I, Robot is a movie release in 2004 based on a book with same name written by Isaac Asimov. The movie took place in year 2035, the main character Del Spooner is a detective of Chicago police department. He lives in a society where robots serve humans and robots are thrust because they follow three basic laws, First, a robot might not injure a human being or, through inaction, allow a human being to come to harm. Second, a robot must obey orders given it by human being except where such order would conflict with the First Law. Third, a robot must protect its own existence if such protection does not conflict with the First or Second Law. Detective Spooner was involved in a car accident and was rescued by a robot. Because of the accident he lost his left arm, shoulder and ribs and was repaired by Dr. Lanning who is the creator of the robots distributed by USR. Dr. Lanning repaired him with robotic parts similar with his robots. He hated robots because he believed the robot made a poor judgement rescuing him rather than a little girl during the accident. The same week that USR is planning to distribute a new version of their robots (NS-5), Doctor Lanning falls from his office windows. A hologram left by Dr. Lanning calls detective Spooner and asked him to go to the USR building. Upon investigate, Detective Spooner believed Dr. Lanning’s death was not suicide. He finds Sonny – a special robot with feelings created by Dr. Lanning while inspecting Dr. Lanning’s office. Spooner arrested Sonny because he believed he was the one that kill Dr. Lanning. The police department release Sonny back to USR because they couldn’t charge him with murder by law. The scientist at USR didn’t feel right to deactivate a special robot. Spooner’s hate and mistrust keep growing after various incident encountering with robots (NS-5) during investigating. Dr. Lanning plot his own death to draws detective Spooner’s attention because he was controlled by an Artificial Intelligent that he also created called VIKI. Ironically, Dr. Lanning’s death demonstrated the break of the three basic laws of robotics. In the process of stopping VIKI from controlling the whole city and avoiding human losses detective Spooner need to learn to trust Sonny and work with him to do it. By the end of the movie detective Spooner not just learn to trust Sonny but also they become friends and they are able to stop VIKI and all the NS-5’s.
Something that is very interesting is that the movie that is classified as a sci-fi has a lot of racial tensions references as we can observe, An African American detective that doesn’t trust a white android. The androids are created to serve humans, performing different kind of jobs, like cooking, cleaning, picking at garbage, mail delivery, to mention a few. This racial tension reference can be observed clear from the beginning of the movie. For example, when detective Spooner is walking on the street in the beginning of the movie and sees a robot running with a purse. He automatically assumes the robot stole the purse. Also, when detective Spooner finds Sonny in doctors Lanning’s office, he automatically assumes that is dangerous and he is the one that kill dr. Lanning. But reading the critics and the viewers comments, nobody seems to notice this, everybody talks about the especial effects, the action scenes, how similar is to the original book. Noticing this the main question is Does the movie have a racial tension message and if it does why is overlook?
Good work! You seem to be addressing the problem that prevailing viewpoints about the film seem to ignore a significant aspect of the film. However, you should not *assert* that there is racial tension but will need to consider how certain moments in the film *seem* to represent or resemble common racial tensions or issues in America.
Review the Model Student Introductions handout. Find one that has a similar intellectual problem and try to imitate its structure. You will need to incorporate sources to establish the premises or assumptions embedded in your question; for example, you will need to quote sources to show that the main opinions about the film do *not* consider whether there is a racial message (or, if they do, does not examine it deeply).
Caleb, a 26-year-old computer programmer who works at a huge and best internet company, won a chance to spend a week visiting his boss Nathan’s private house. when Caleb arrives, he met a robot girl that he found attracting. Nathan wanted Caleb to test out the robot for him, then slowly, While testing, Caleb felt that the Robot actually had a feeling just like us the human. Caleb then decided to help the robot to escape away from Nathan. The result came out that the robot killed his creator and break Caleb’s heart by locking him in Nathan’s house. The question that I observe in the film is that If we invented a robot that outsmarts it’s creator, are we still capable of controlling our own creation? What I want to answer according to the film is that will we still going to have control over the robot? or robot eventually going to dominate our current society replacing our human and becomes the top superior “living” creature.
Fair effort. You need to take a step backwards and work on clarifying the intellectual problem you are interested in exploring. Without a clear intellectual problem, it is more difficult to determine a strong research question. Review the Identifying Problems handout and the model student introductions in order to identify the problem you want to address and then determine the question you want to answer.
Spirited Away is a movie by Hayao Miyazaki about a young girl named Chihiro, that gets lost with her parents when trying to move in to their new house. They find an abandoned amusement park and decided to look around. Chihiro’s parents finds a restaurant with a feast laid out on the table but no workers there in sight. They decide to sit down and start eating because it was dinner time. Chihiro didn’t join them and so she went to look around. Night falls and spirits start to appear and Chihiro’s parents are turned into pigs for eating the spirits food. Chihiro saved by a boy named Haku who brings her to a bath house where she works to help clean the tubs and scrub the spirit guests. She gets to many a trouble, getting on the wrong standing with the bath house’s boss, letting a unwelcome guest inside who stirred up a lot of trouble. But she was able to prove her worth and put things back into order and eventually being allowed to return with her parents by the bath house boss.
When you first watch this amazing film, you’d be captured by its amazing art and attention to the details in the characters. You are not wrong, for that is the same ideas said by critiques and audience alike. The reviewers see it as just another piece of children’s film that simply tells a coming of age story. But when you look closer, you can see during scenes like the one with the stink spirit that Miyazaki uses it to talk about the problems with Japanese society in the 19th century. It brings up the question of what information/problem are scenes like that eluding to?
Add to the end of my paragraph,
How does the River God/Stink Monster in Spirited Away represents the then current Japanese problem in pollution?
Commendable attempt. However, your initial post makes a common error that developing writers make. You write that “reviewers see it as just another piece of children’s film that simply tells a coming of age story”; but it that true? There is no shortage of articles and reviews discussing the pollution symbolized in the film. Review the model student introductions; see how they acknowledge and incorporate sources to accurately and clearly explain the problem you wan too address.
In this vein, you might in your revision focus on how the reviews that focus on pollution don’t consider what the movie might be saying specifically about pollution in Japanese culture. (Of course, I am assuming this; you need to actually do the research.) This would lead to a revised question: What might the film be saying about pollution and environmental issues in Japan in particular?
Alien vs. Predator set in 2004 on Earth portrays the conflict between alien and predators. As predator spacecraft nears the planet, Earth satellites detect a mysterious heat boom beneath the ice of the island Bouvetoya near Antarctica. A group of scientists including the billionaire Charles Bishop Weyland assembles a team of scientists to investigate the heat source. The team includes paleontologist, archaeologists, linguist experts, drillers. Mercenaries and a female guide named Alexa Woods. As the predator ship reaches earth’s orbit, it blasts a shaft t blasts a shaft down through the ice towards the source of the heat bloom. When the human team arrives at the site above the heat source, an abandoned whaling station, they find this hole and descend beneath the ice. There they discover the pyramid and begin to explore it, finding evidence of a civilization predating written history and what appears to be a “sacrificial chamber” filled with human skeletons with ruptured rib cages. Unknown to the humans, their entrance has caused an Alien queen to awaken from cryogenic stasis, bound in chains and is tortured to begin producing eggs.
Meanwhile, three Predator warriors (Chopper,Scar,and Celtic) land and kill off the humans at the surface, making their way down to the pyramid and arriving just as the team removes the weapons from the casket unwittingly causing several humans become trapped in the “sacrificial chamber”. Alien eggs emerged from trap doors and quickly hatch into facehuggers attaching themselves to the humans. Chestbursters soon emerge from the humans and quickly grow into adult Aliens. From there the fight till the death begins between aliens and the predator. In the movie alien vs Predator Who is the actual monster? Is it the aliens,who kills everyone in sight? Or is it the dangerous predators who hunts aliens as culture and kills everyone in it’s way ,or is it humans,who woke aliens from their sleep?
Good effort. However, your summary of the movie is currently a patch-written plagiarism from a source I found easily online. You don’t need to do this. Instead clarify the intellectual problem you are interested in exploring; this leads easily to the question you are trying to answer. The question in this draft suggests that you are trying to enter a debate. If so, you will need sources to show that there is a debate (or prevailing opinion) about which species is truly the monster of the film. Review the model student introductions and imitate the one that looks most like your own project.
Science film is a kind of film, which is based on science fiction elements, it often uses the possible future world as the background of the story, and uses spaceships, aliens, or other elements that transcend the age of science and technology to show the difference between reality and reality. So is the Pacific Rim 2. The Pacific Rim 2 is a film about the battle between the aliens and the human. In 2035, the more destructive legions of monsters attacked the earth again. In order to safeguard human security, the human controlled the upgraded Legion again to resist the invasion of aliens and finally won the victory.
In the movie the Pacific Rim 2, we need to pay attention to the use of a large number of special effects. For example, the design of the alien monster in the Pacific Rim 2 is excellent. But why do audiences react so plain when they see such a realistic alien monster in the Pacific Rim 2? The reason is that the special effects in science fiction movies are already used very much and the plot of the film is still very old-fashioned, therefore the audiences are tired of it. Then central question would be that how to seek innovation in the plot or movie elements of science fiction?
Good effort. However, notice that your first question (“But why do audiences react so plain when they see such a realistic alien monster in the Pacific Rim 2?”) makes an assumption that you have not proven: “audiences react so plain when they see such a realistic alien monster in the Pacific Rim 2.” Notice also that your central question is not a question that require you to analyze the film.
To clarify your project, you first need to identify the specific intellectual problem you’re interested in addressing. Read the Identifying Problems handout and the model student introductions to see how clearly they explain the intellectual problems they will address.
“the passion of the Christ” directed by Mel Gibson Starring jim caviezel is an independant film.the movie was realesed in theathers in 2004 . It would go on to become the highest grossing independant film of all time. The film is about the last 12 hours of the life of Jesus Christ. From his betrayel by one of his followers to his death on the cross and a small peak of his resurrection .
Jesus is accused of blasphemy by the Jewish priest of the time for claims against him of being called the son of God.because of this the jewish priest have the desire to crusify Jesus.The Jewish priest hand over Jesus to the roman authorities to punish and to crucify Jesus.the film depics the punish ment of Jesus in a very realistic yet extremely violent manner.
The movie was recieved with both open arms by viewers and with criticism by critics and the Religious Jewish community.The jewish people claimed the movie would re spark claims that jews are responsible for the death of Jesus .Critics however criticiesed the movie for its voilent scenes. They claimed it was avoilent movie not worth watching. Viewers on the other hand responded well to the film as is reflected in the box office numbers.for this essay i will focus on the critics who claimed it was too violent and the good reception of viewers.
Did the violence depicted in the film “the passion of the Christ” contribute to the films box office hit?Which scence was so violent?what about the violence is no worth watching?how successful was the film?what did the viers see that critcs didnt?
Good effort! You only need to have one central question; it is a good one. However, you will need to revise your introduction so that you establish the premises of your questions using sources. Notice that your question challenges a prevailing opinion (see the Identifying Problems handout); therefore, logically you will need to quote sources to establish the specific prevailing opinion you want to investigate and complicate. See models of strong student introductions in the Model Student Introductions handout.
In the resident evil: apocalypse, Alice awakens in a deserted hospital and wanders the city in search of supplies. The umbrella company uses the only bridge out of the city to evacuate civilians. Jill is a banished police officer. After Jill arrived at the bridge, she saw her former comrade, but the umbrella company’s leaders decided to close the bridge because there are too many people. After being abandoned by their employer following a failed attempt to rescue a civilian, Umbrella soldiers and city police STARS collaboration to fight off zombies. At another location, Jill with a news reporter is saved by Alice. The super soldier Nemesis from umbrella kills STARS and searching Alice. Dr. Ashford hacks into the city’s CCTV and contacts the left people in the city. He gives a way to leave the city, but they need bring his daughter – Angela and tells they the umbrella try to use a nuclear bomb to destroy the city. When they finally find Angela and arrived at the place where the plane was parked. Nemesis also arrived. In the end, Alice killed Nemesis.
Resident evil has 7 movies. Alice is the protagonist. Resident evil film present “highly ambiguous” perspectives on the themes of corporate power, race, gender, and sexuality. The umbrella company was so powerful. In the movie, Alice and Jill are not inferior to men. In apocalyptic, zombie film, the protagonist normally is male, not female. what message does the use of a strong, female lead in this apocalyptic, zombie film say about the status of women in America and the West?
Good effort (and clear central question), but your introduction does not yet clarify the specific intellectual problem you wish to address. Review the Identifying Problems handout and work to specify which type of intellectual problem you are interested in exploring. For example, it might be that you are comparing this movie with other movies of this genre to show that it was quite successful but had a significant difference: a female lead.
Also review the Model Student Introductions handout to see how these students explain the intellectual problems that led them to their questions.
