Like so many of Carpenter’s other works, there’s a certain kind of campiness to the entire thing—which is part of what makes it such an endearing classic. We reveal new films and events every Monday evening, so you know what's coming up at Everyman as soon as we do. There are no film times available based on the filters you've selected. The rape of a bride and the murder of her samurai husband are recalled from the perspectives of a bandit, the bride, the samurai's ghost and a woodcutter. Directly from 1950s Japan, Kurosawa's masterpiece is screening as part of our Passport Season at Belsize Park. A beautiful young woman takes her father's place as the prisoner of a mysterious beast, who wishes to marry her.
With The Matrix, the Wachowskis turned that notion on its head by depicting a dystopian future, where all of humanity has been trapped in a simulated reality and is being used as an energy source for AI creatures. When a hacker named Neo becomes aware of the falseness of the world he lives in, he begins a quest to uncover the truth. anime Several of the film’s stylistic inventions—such as the digital rain of the code that composes the Matrix—are iconic parts of contemporary culture.
Anything that summarizes, evaluates or interprets primary sources can be a secondary source. If a source gives you an overview of background information or presents another researcher’s ideas on your topic, it is probably a secondary source. Common examples of secondary sources include academic books, journal articles, reviews, essays, and textbooks. Whether it’s primary or secondary, always properly cite the movie in the citation style you are using. If you use the movie for background information or analysis about your topic – for example, to learn about a historical event or a scientific discovery – the movie is a secondary source. If you are directly analysing some aspect of the movie itself – for example, the cinematography, narrative techniques, or social context – the movie is a primary source.
People weren’t sure what to make of Besson’s brash, in-your-face film when it was first released. The Fifth Element was alternately panned and lauded for its special effects, outlandish story line, and futuristic costume designs by haute couture designer Jean-Paul Gaultier. In the quarter-century since, many moviegoers have caught up to Besson’s vision, and turned it into a cult classic. Akira is credited for popularizing anime in the West, and this 1988 feature film, which is a condensed version of a long-running manga comic, remains one of the most ambitious animated features ever made. It's set in a dystopian Neo-Tokyo, several decades after a massive event destroyed the old city, with gangs, terrorists, and religious fanatics vying for control of a corrupt and decaying society. When Tetsuo, a member of a biker gang, comes into contact with an escaped child from a government lab, he begins to develop incredible psychic powers, which he abuses and struggles to control.
A 9-point calibration was executed before the experiment to ensure a correct mapping of the gaze data points and screen coordinates. Also, event markers were sent to the eye-gaze stream to allow synchronization of video frames and gaze data. The recorded eye-gaze-data stream was epoched between −2000 ms before each video start time and 2000 ms after the video finish time and then re-referenced to the video’s starting time. The Attentional-asynchrony metric (see “Statistical Analysis of the Prediction Metrics and Key Performance Indicators” section for details) was then calculated as a function of the epoched eye-gaze stream of all participants and viewings. The data analysis was performed using a custom Matlab code (Mathworks Inc., Natick, MA, USA; MATLAB, 2010).
Moreover, the proposed neurophysiological and eye-gaze based metrics could be used as markers in cinematics studies to help investigate the impact of movie features and filming techniques (scene transition/animations/special effect) to moviegoers’ behavior. In this study, we proposed a novel computational approach for extracting neurophysiological and eye-gaze based metrics to predict the population-wide behavior of movie goers. In this section, we discuss our key findings and the connection of the derived metrics to the underlying cognitive processes that might drive moviegoers’ decision to watch a movie. A database of 15 movie trailers, split into two stimuli sets, were used in this study.
Our innovative products and services for learners, authors and customers are based on world-class research and are relevant, exciting and inspiring. Moonlight takes its place in the canon of great indie films not only because it rose through the ranks to win three Oscars, including best picture , but because it is a film that stops us in our tracks. It brings the viewer inside and holds their hand while they wade in the cold and dark waters of a young man who hardly anyone sees. The film, written and directed by Barry Jenkins, follows a young black man struggling with his identity and his sexuality amidst the everyday struggles of adolescence in Miami.
His best friend, Kaneda, seeks to rescue him but quickly realizes that more drastic action is necessary, as they’re both engulfed in events beyond their comprehension. A filmmaker recalls his childhood when falling in love with the pictures at the cinema of his home village and forms a deep friendship with the cinema's projectionist. This Italian classic is screening as part of our Passport Season at Belsize Park.
When Alfonso Cuarón wrote the screenplay for Gravity, he wasn’t setting out to make a film about space itself. Rather, he was interested in exploring the concepts of adversity and human resilience, with space as a secondary background. But it was hard for audiences to not be wowed by the visuals in this Oscar-winning film about two scientists who find themselves stranded in space, and what they must endure in order to get safely back to Earth. Gravity, with its pervasively eerie atmosphere and soaring, rich cinematography is less straightforward sci-fi and more complex masterpiece. Nathalie Stutzmann conducts her second Mozart work this season with a new production of Die Zauberflöte. In his Met-debut staging, Simon McBurney incorporates projections, sound effects, and acrobatics to match the spectacle and drama of Mozart’s fable.
