Write Essay 3-201405

I need 3 essay, Each should be 3 [login to view URL] will be excellent quality. Writing and organization are important. Answer should have a clearly stated thesis argument and evidence that proves your argument. These are the Topics I selected. and i have attached the lecture for this topic. 1. FILM GENRE Compare and contrast The Maltese Falcon (John Huston, 1941) to Chinatown (Roman Polanski, 1974). How are they similar? How are they different? Please note the films' attitudes towards: women; the detective-hero; and corruption in our society. And what do these similarities and differences mean to the evolution of the Detective genre? Please draw from John Cawelti's essay "Chinatown and Generic Transformation in Recent American Films" to support your claims. • Do NOT rehash the movie's plots. Do not contrast their stories, unless you're analyzing their conclusions. • Please make sure to identify conventions, iconography, and themes, and use 1-2 specific examples (particular scenes, characters, shots, and dialogue) to prove your points. 2. AUTEUR THEORY Pick a director from the syllabus and apply the "auteur theory" in examining that filmmaker's body of work. Discuss at least TWO specific filmmaking trademarks (stylistic/technical aspects, i.e. their particular use of the color "red" or elaborate tracking shots or a cluttered mise-en-scene) that function to convey the director's unique vision and key thematic concern (or "soul," to use Andrew Sarris' term) across 2-3 different films to support your argument. Please do NOT use Quentin Tarantino. (Because his themes are hard to identify, students always have a hard time using him as an example). • Be sure to connect the techniques with why they are being used (re: filmmaker's theme). • Please indicate how the filmmaker uses the medium to express his unique worldview. • Specific details are required, such as “the use of low key lighting and deep shadows in both Blade Runner and Alien suggest Ridley Scott's interest in a gloomy, morally ambiguous universe.” 3. IDEOLOGY How does John McTiernan's 1988 film "Die Hard" conform to French critics Carmolli and Narboni's first category: of a film that is imbued with the dominant ideology in a pure and unadulterated form, and gives no indication that its makers are aware of it? Please be sure to define the term "ideology" and indicate the ideology that is being expressed through the film. And cite specific instances (scenes, characters, lines of dialogue) that reflect that ideology. And is there anything in the film that you think complicates or contradicts the dominant ideology? • Please cite from Susan Jeffords's article "Hard Bodies: The Reagan Heroes" to help mount your argument.
