'Professionalism In Bonnie And Clyde'

Superior Essays
We live in a time that movies reviews are being giving by normal people on social media leaving critics useless. When people write these reviews, the reviews are bias, racist, and unprofessional. In order to get a more professional, unbiased, and not racist reviews, people need to read real critics reviews. Whereas people like us who write movie reviews on social media such as Facebook, Yelp, Twitter, and etc. are called amateur critics. The difference between amateur critics and professional critic is the professionalism that a professional critic gives a review. Professional critics do not hold any value in today’s society because amateur critics reviews on movies have taken over all social media society. Even though critics take people right …show more content…
People always have this mind set that if they watch violent movies, then they would also become violent, but in reality that is not true. For the movie, Bonnie and Clyde people thought the violence in the was not acceptable at all because in peoples' eyes violent was not allowed since it would influence them in that way. On the other hand, critics do not have to think that way because critics know that movies cannot influence anyone decisions on them. Pauline Kale in review states that, “I think that "Bonnie and Clyde," though flawed, is a work of art,” (Kale). Pauline Kale considers this movie a work of art because she does not hold the belief like normal people do that a movie would will influence her actions in a certain way. In this situation people were not so accepting of the movie due to fact that they thought it will influence them in a bad way, whereas critics were more accepting since this movie was changing the direction of the film industry. In her review on the movie, Kale also states, “It is a kind of violence that says something to us; it is something that movies must be free to use. We must also defend the legal rights of those filmmakers who use violence to see tickets, for it is not province of the law to deice that one man is an artist and another man a no-talent,” (Kale). Pauline Kale in fourteen-page review on Bonnie and Clyde explains that a film director should not be limited to what they want in their movies because the audience is not willing to accept any violence in the movie, but instead that film maker should have the freedom to put whatever they want in their movies to entertain us. The reason why film directors are limited to what their film should have is because we as the audience tend to be more bias towards new things such as sexual scenes or violence that a movie has to offers than being more accepting of the sexuality

    Bailey, I enjoyed reading your post as I am a history buff and you had some slightly different views than I did. Like you, I fully believe that Hoover helped promote professionalism in law enforce across the country. Before Hoover took over the FBI, it was just like many other law enforcement agencies with lazy, out of shape, and politically appointed employees. He changed this by firing ones that did not need to be there and required new hires to have background checks, fitness tests, and be educated in law and accounting (John Edgar Hoover, n.d.). This caused many other agencies to do similar things.…

    In the essay, “The Offensive Movie Cliche’ That Won’t Die”, the author, Matt Zoller Seitz argues that most films portraying good morals and positive attributes about an African American character may actually just be an illusion to the audience and that the strings controlling the puppet aren’t so friendly after all. He also mentions how the role of a “magical negro” shows up in real life. Throughout his text, Seitz exemplifies a number of cases where a “magical negro” exists in today’s popular movies. He mentions various instances where some of the most relevant actors play these roles of the “magical negro”, such as Danny Glover in Legendary, Cuba Gooding Jr. in What Dreams May Come, Will Smith in The Legend of Bagger Vance, Laurence Fishburne…

    Discuss how dreams and desires function to define ‘identity’ in Bonnie and Clyde (Penn, 1967). How do specific environments impinge on, or create opportunity for, the characters? How does this relate to the notion of making particular American movies, and putting America on the screen? Deconstructing identity into only two simplistic ideals, dreams and desires, is an extremely minimalistic approach to assessing the identity of characters within Bonnie and Clyde (Penn, 1967). Whilst the dreams and desires of the two fugitive protagonists may indeed shape their identity it is also important to question how these two aspects fuel their actions.…

    C.S. Lewis’s book, An Experiment in Criticism is about the quality of the book depends on how it is read since a book does not have a goal of being “good” or “bad”. Lewis achieves this by defining the differences between a “good” and “bad” reader within each chapter of the book. Lewis claims that “bad work never is nor can be enjoyed by anyone” (Page 21). This contradiction undermines Lewis by stating that there are such things as “good and bad art”. Lewis is logical with his syllogism and arguments.…

    The deviation from genre conventions is why this movie gets such a positive review from the critic. The movie seems familiar yet totally different at the same time. It follows some of the genre conventions like the plot and setting but it truly makes its mark as a film with the way it is different from anything that has ever been put on screen before. Martin Scorsese’s innovation in the way he makes the actors behave in certain ways or uses the silence to add a dramatic effect shows that by not following genre conventions you can still end up making a film that is a commercial…

    Part of the beauty of modern cinema lies within its ability to visually depict the culture and society of any given period of time; it can combine history or science with action and emotion to create an authentic ambience. Not all of these depictions, however, are accurate portrayals of the reality of the situations featured in the given film; in those cases, the work reflects a version of the truth altered by the filmmaker and accepted by the audience. In Quentin Tarantino’s film Pulp Fiction, the use of hyperreal violence and racial stereotypes reflects upon the attitudes of modern American society. By the 1990’s, a number of filmmakers had taken to hyperreal violence for use as a critical cinematic device.…

    The slasher film to some viewers has been written off and categorized as a film not worth watching. Typically viewers decide that this genre may be too violent, graphic, or misogynistic. However, slasher films, like many horror movies, may offer a commentary on society or the human condition. An approach to understanding such films is through the concept of the ‘abject’. It is the disturbance of boundaries that threaten things such as an individual’s identity or societal order Abjection describes our reaction to the threat of borders that are meant to protect the individual.…

    The rape of 10 year old Tonya Hailey epitomizes this hatred. The casts’ realization of this hatred flows in each of the characters during the filming of this movie, creating a more convincing storyline about racial injustice. It is possible to say that the race issue in “A Time to Kill” maybe legitimate exploration of black/white tension (Berardinelli 1996). It’s also possible to question how much is sensationalism (Berardinelli 1996). In many courtroom drams there is much that is typically grandstanding in order to entertain the audience.…

    The name “Black Panther” holds a different connotation to it depending on who you ask. For some it may be more literal and referring to the actual animal, for others it harkens back to the civil rights group formed in the 1960s. Now however, people are familiar with the term because of the superhero movie released on February 16th of this year. The movie tells the story of T’Challa, King of the fictional African country Wakanda, who returns back to his home country to find that he has a challenger who wants his throne. Yet, boiling Black Panther down to just another “superhero movie” feels disingenuous because the film provides so much more than fighting scenes, action shots, and an obnoxious villain.…
