Parallel Sequencing of Modern Times and Metropolis


The movie Metropolis is very interesting. Its a silent film movie, and its in black and white. It is a Science Fiction film, and at that time science fiction was very new to the up and coming movie genres. The main character is Joh Frederer. He is trying to figure out the social crisis between workers and the owners in capitalism. The film stars Freder as the leader of the city, Joh as his son, who tries to mediate between the elite caste and the workers.

Then there is the movie Modern Times. Went it came to the big screen, everyone knew that it would be funny. This film is a Comedy which made everyone laugh, and laugh and well laugh. The film is a comment on the desperate employment and fiscal conditions many people faced during the Great Depression, conditions created, in Chaplin's view, by the efficiencies of modern industrialization. The movie stars Chaplin.

Integrated Comparison of Metropolis, Modern Times


Metropolis and Modern Times are tow very different movies, but they both have similarities. The similarities between both of them is that they were made possibly at the sametime, both of them show workers and factories. but Metropolis and Modern Times are two different genre types, as in Metropolis is a science fiction and Modern Times is comedy. The acting in both movies are very realistic but Modern times makes it seem like that they do the acting on accident.

Re: Review of Roots Poem

Acting is alright
But without Audio its tight
You could give credit to Chaplin
He could never dictate, they thought he was a goblin
Maybe I should start Graphing
So you could start locking
He never got a manicure
And a pedicure
He motivated many
He made the population do Cacophony
He exported laughter all over the world
He never likes signing or else he will hurl
He always speculated
Once got trapped in a tractor, and he almost got beheaded
He got it on video, it was refined
And It revolved around the human mind

Star Wars and D.W. Griffith


George Lucas uses many film techniques like cross cutting, building suspense, special effects, close ups, long shots, and medium shots, and some low keys as well. George Lucas compared to D.W. Griffith is quite the same but at the time that Lucas made Star Wars they had more editing technique and a lot of money in to the foundation of the first early Star Wars movie, but D.W. Griffith did not have that much money, but he did have good close ups and overall good Cross Cutting techniques.

Re: Comedy


My type of comedy movie would be the Mexican Cinema kind. Like Cantinflas. I love physical comedies. I have not really seen any British Comedies, but I have heard that they are very funny. Yes, I do like comedies with stunts. No, I don't really get why they make teen movies because they are just saying " Hey do this and you might just get laid :D ", and I just do not get them. The thing that really makes me laugh would be just physical comedy, and just like saying funny phrases.

Re: Favorite Movie in the Last Month


One of my favorite movies from last month that I have seen would be, El Orfanato. They use a little bit of light but not that much. It has a lot of similarities with German Expressionism, like how they use Chiaroscuro in a lot of scenes. The set was actually in a Orphanage in Mexico. The Acting was very realistic, showed a lot of emotion and tense. Overall, it was a kick-ass movie!

Re: Science Fiction

Some Science Fiction movies I have seen up to this point are Star Wars, Star Trek, the 5th Element, Blade Runner, Destination Moon, The Road Warrior, 2001: A Space Odyssey, ET, Minority Report, and Gattaca. Some characters are just simple, and some are just plain weird.
