Week 04 Notes
USC, CTCS 192m
Excerpt: ... Lecture Notes Screening: The Godfather Lone Star 12/31/1969 4:01:00 PM Conversation about history At the end of the film, Chris Cooper's character says, "forget about history, forget about Alamo", which is ironic because the film spends the whole time illustrating the audience how important history is. California's population is speculated, will be mostly made up of Hispanics in the near future. America likes to praise itself as a nation of immigrant, but there has always been a different reaction from immigrants that come form Europe than those coming from Asia or South America. Xenophobia: fear of foreign people and their customs/culture. Lone Star scene analysis The white woman says that they're tearing everything down, otherwise insinuating that the Hispanic culture is destroying her American culture. "Winners get the bragging rights" those considered victorious. Those in power write a version of history that underscored their own existence and serves their own purpose. History and propaganda o H ...

Lecture13
Stanford, MSANDE 235
Excerpt: ... Then the same process was repeated for a second round of movies. St chose Gladiator as his second favorite, Ab chose Slumdog Millionaire, and Se chose Godfather. Again, Sm agreed with St. So the results looked like this: Forrest Gump (Sm) Gladiator (Sm) The Reader Slumdog Pulp Fiction The Godfather St Ab Se The fact that Sm chose St's favorites both times suggests that there is a similarity in tastes. A user is more likely to enjoy movies that similar users have enjoyed. Users are similar if they enjoy the same movies. This recursive definition is reminiscent of PageRank. In fact, we will set up a network where we can use PageRank to assign a similarity index. In PageRank, web pages were our nodes, but here we can assign nodes for every movie and every user. The graph will look something like this: Users Movies Forrest Gump St SSSS k SSS SSS kkkkk S kkkk SSSSS kk S kkkk _ _ _ _ _ _ _ Gladiator Sm Ab SSSS The Reader SSSS SSSS SSSS S Slumdog Se SSSS GG S GG SSSS GG S GG SSSSSS GG S GG GG Pulp Fiction GG G ...

Excerpt: ... tarken and Lisa Cartwright Truth value of ideology. Images and ideology. Image icons. See vs. Look Symbolism & Symbiotics "Myth of Photographic Truth" "Film Bodies" by Linda Williams. Look over Reading Response # 1. "The Alchemy of Race and Rights" by Patricia Williams Subject position = if youre in a different position, race-wise for example, laws often apply differently to you. Relationship to law depends on law, gender, class, etc. i.e. How individuals approach a text based on their own standing race, gender, class, etc. How audience members react to a film based on who they are. Film example, i.e. Matt Dillon pulls over Terrence Howard and Thandie Newton in Crash, feels her up, harasses him, because they are black. Had they been white, he probably wouldnt have even pulled them over. WEEK IV: The Godfather "The Gangster As Tragic Hero" by Robert Warshow Gangster must pay for his sins in the end, is alone at the end. Pursuit of the "American Dream" brings him to tragedy.

Thompson's The Making of the English Working Class (1964) Not a decline of consensus history and return to relativism, but a new grand narrative seen through the perspective of class struggle New Marxist truth attacks old consensus approach: partisanship made historians' work `better' Vietnam War protests make these new historians think about the cultural `relevance' of their work Self-conscious social history Decline of Consensus History, Part Two `History from below' diversifies to include not only studies of working class, but African Americans, immigrants, women, Mexican Americans, mestizos, etc. American narrative becomes a body of diverse and conflicting identities and experiences Even diplomatic history loses sense of consensus: American exc ...

synthesis essay
Washington University in St. Louis, PHI 101
Excerpt: ... David Chao Writing 1 Synthesis Essay Ms. Ford 4/4/08 Looking at The Godfather through a new lens The Godfather runs deep in the messages it provides to society, and consequently sparks varying opinions about the effectiveness of specific messages. In a particular scholarly article, "Ressurrecting The Godfather " by James Chiampi, he writes a critique not just on The Godfather alone, but on other critics analysis of the story as well. Chiampi adds his own take on various cultural messages he thinks take importance in the movie. Chiampis major points in his article are characterizing the differences between American and Sicilian societies and identifying the Sicilian values that must be kept separate with the stereotypical American characteristics. Although the article "Ressurecting The Godfather " contains useful information for my researched analysis project, it falls short of providing all the information I need to conduct research for the project. Chiampis scholarly article provides support for one of t ...

Film Paper Godfather 2 Review
Pasadena, THART 7B
Excerpt: ... Theater Arts 7B Film Analysis The Godfather : Part II The Godfather Part II is known to be the most critically and artistically successful sequel in history of movies. Some critics argue that it is even superior to the original The Godfather released in 1972, while other critics believe that it is just as equal to the original movie. But hardly anyone believes that it failed to achieve the continuity of the great series. Francis Ford Coppola once again co-writes a fine script with Mario Puzo, bringing back most of the original cast members from the original film like Al Pacino and Robert Duvall, and some new breakthrough stars like Robert De Niro. The film becomes one of America's favorites for centuries to come, and the reasons are apparent as the film is analyzed in every way possible. The movie is definitely the darkest of the three Godfather series; the plot is based on continuing the story of Don Michael Corleone as he develops into a more evil and darker character as the Godfather , while also depicting t ...
