Transcript: Poor performance in school Mainly interested in the reading of literature, from a human point of view Hobbies included: photography , double-feature films No college education NY: Director Max Ophuls influenced visual style Many of his films are based off interpretations of novels: ⁃Paths of Glory: first of three --> dehumanizing effects of war ⁃Dr. Strangelove: prefigured anti-war message ⁃A Clockwork Orange: explored violence in human society ⁃Full Metal Jacket: neither antiwar or prowar, focused on "the way things are" MACROANALYSIS in relation to the historical context in relation to a group of films Different perspective of the war Central character is a military journalist Two films in one No “anti-war or pro-war” message → neutral Vietnamese emphasis o Uniformity (loss of individual identity) o Inhumane treatment • Racial slurs, verbal/emotional/physical abuse, random killings, taking away rights/freedom DUALITY OF MAN Civilization vs. “civilized” Good vs. evil (“Born to kill” vs. Peace sign) •The Others: oCivilized vs. “uncivilized” oJustification for dehumanization Discussion Questions Who do you think should be held accountable for the lives of innocent deaths? Should even soldier's who commit such heinous act be held accountable if they are trained and "brainwashed" into becomng killing machines without emotion? In today's society, do we still see any examples of dehumanization? Is the manner of training conducted at basic directly responsible for Private Pyle's death or was it his incompetency? The military drilled the "kill kill kill" and "no fear" mindset into these Marines, do you think this is appropriate to instill in today's military and future soldiers? 1973 President Nixon orders withdrawl from Vietnam to list a few "Hartman's Speech" 1:27-1:48 1969 More than 500,000 U.S. Military involved Director: Stanley Kubrick 1954 War Began SYNOPSIS use of shadows and lighting 1950 MUSIC MICROANALYSIS 1975 Fall of Saigon Set in England, not Vietnam / “forest” Facial close-ups Wide angle shots Character tracking shots Zoom shots “Left to Right” vs “Right to Left” shots Brief Timeline of Vietnam War and Dialogue: relentless verbal sadism and slang Main character's voice-over in relation to literature Shots & Angles •Johnnie Wright – “Hello Vietnam” •The Dixie Cups – “Chapel of Love” •Sam the Sham & The Pharaohs – “Wooly Bully” •Chris Kenner – “I Like It Like That” •Nancy Sinatra – “These Boots Are Made For Walkin’” •The Trashmen – “Surfin’ Bird”•Goldman Band – “Marines’ Hymn” •The Rolling Stones – “Paint It Black” (end credits) SOUND "Get Some" Scene (cc) image by jantik on Flickr DEHUMANIZATION Lighting o A sound is worth a thousand words Help express emotion/convey message o “Cheerful pop music” Heighten & sets mood, seriousness, tone, etc. o Reminisce Draws the viewer “back to those days” Music = trigger to the past (memories)

Transcript: Main Cause: US suspected Iraq of selling nuclear weapons to terrorist organizations. I agree with the director's view because it shows the soldiers perspective of war. Many soldiers don't come home the same way (psychologically), and sometimes cannot function affectivley in life back home. Since they have experienced so many violent encounters, they feel that nothing in their normal day to day life can never top what they experienced in war. The Plot Camo during 2004 Director's Bias True Mistakes Kathryn Bieglow, the director, shows the war in the perspective of the soldiers, which is mostly a negative view of war. The director focuses on how war negatively impacts them. For example, The Hurt Locker opens with "The rush of battle is a potent and often lethal addiction, for war is a drug." The director also focuses on the horrors of war. For example, there is a scene where they must remove a IED from a dead kid's stomach. Major events in The War in Iraq My view on the Director's bias EOD is a real unit. Somewhat realistic portrayal of the Iraq War. Artistic Value Very good Suspenseful Shows the stresses of the military. Won Best Picture in 2009. The story focuses on a 3-man squad from the US Army's Explosive Ordnance Disposal (EOD), in 2004, whose deployment in Iraq is almost over. EOD's mission is to defuse IEDs. Jeremy Renner plays as Sgt. William James, who is a replacement squad leader, who happens to be a adrenaline addict. His squad thinks that his poor choices will get them killed, and at one point of the movie they actually consider killing him. At the end of the movie, James finds civilian life to be very boring, and feels nothing can top what he experienced in Iraq. In response, he starts another tour of duty serving with another EOD unit as they are starting their 365-day rotation. March 19, 2003: Combat begins. April 9, 2003: Baghdad falls as well as Saddam's regime. Dec. 13, 2003: Saddam Huessin is captured in Tikrit, Iraq. Jan. 25, 2004: Inspectors declare they found no WMDs in Iraq. Nov. 7, 2004: The Battle of Fallujah. Deadliest American battle since the Black Hawk Down incident. American Victory. Dec. 30, 2005: Saddam Hussein is executed. Jan. 10, 2007: Bush announces plan for troop surge. Aug. 13, 2010: Obama declares an end to all combat operations in Iraq. Dec. 15, 2011: War in Iraq officially ends. The uniforms they wear are ACU, but ACU was not put into the Army till 2005. (Movie takes place in 2004.) One of the character's mentions Youtube, but Youtube was made in 2005. Character is seen playing Xbox 360, but it dose't come out till 2005. Adam Obermeier ACU Accuracy

Transcript: For my project I compared the films Mean Girls and John Tucker Must Die. Both films portray the stereotype of teenage girls as being "mean girls" through the transformation of the characters from innocent new girls to queen bees that backstab their way to the top. - Adding estrogen to his protein shake -Turning his pictures into HIV add -Tricking him into wearing a thong in front of everyone -Telling him the truth about Kate in front of everyone at his birthday party Effects on Society The infamous Burn Book Revenge on John Tucker Ruining John Tucker's Image The Transformation in Mean Girls About Thesis Three girls from the most popular cliques in school take Kate under their wing and transform her into the perfect girl for John Tucker in order to intentionally break his heart as revenge. Kate goes from being the innocent new girl that nobody knew to the legend who cracked John Tucker and broke his heart. Taking bullying to a whole new level Ruining Regina George's Life -What girls can't quote the entire Mean Girls movie? -What girl wouldn't dream of getting revenge on their ex like they do to John Tucker - Both films create a stereotypical image of what girls in high school are like making girls think they need to be like these characters in order to have a lot of friends and be pretty and skinny
