Birt of a nation
The document provides a review and analysis of the film "Birth of a Nation" by D.W. Griffith. It summarizes the plot in two parts, covering the American Civil War and aftermath. It then analyzes how the film promotes racist stereotypes, portraying Black people and Northern whites negatively while glorifying the Ku Klux Klan. The review concludes that the film does not accurately depict reality in America and instead argues for evil racist purposes, though it is technically proficient.

John William Cheever was an American short story writer and novelist. He is now recognized as one of the most important short fiction writers of the 20th century. In the late 1970s, Cheever enjoyed a revival when his collected stories won several awards, including the Pulitzer Prize. Cheever's writing explored both the light and dark aspects of suburban life in New York, though some critics did not understand his themes during his lifetime. The contrast between light and dark is important to understanding all sides of human experience.

Western Genre Essay
The western genre was dominant in Hollywood between the 1930s and mid-1960s, but has since declined. While western movies are less common, their themes and myths of the American frontier live on in other genres like science fiction and action films. The western evolved over the early 20th century from one-reel films to include sound and more complex characters. In the 1960s, "spaghetti westerns" from directors like Sergio Leone featured more violent antiheroes and psychological themes. Though the western genre is less prevalent today, its influence can still be seen in other modern films.

The Western

2) Early Westerns portrayed Native Americans as obstacles to be overcome, but this changed in the 1950s as representations became more nuanced.
3) Iconic characters like the sheriff and cowboy embodied American values of justice and freedom but later Westerns increasingly served as criticism of American society and values.
SerialKillers
Serial killers are often portrayed as antagonists in popular media, though some fictional serial killers have been depicted as anti-heroes in works such as Dexter and Psycho. Many popular fictional serial killers are actually based on real killers, for instance Buffalo Bill from Silence of the Lambs combines traits of Ted Bundy and Ed Gein - Bundy would lure women to his car by pretending to be injured and then knock them out, while Gein murdered women and stole their bodies from graveyards in an attempt to create a "woman suit" resembling his mother.
History of film noir
Film noir emerged in the 1940s as a style of black-and-white American crime and detective films that reflected the post-war era of anxiety, pessimism, and suspicion. The genre took advantage of the mood of the times to tell dark stories of anti-heroes embroiled in crime, violence, and moral corruption. Classic film noir developed between the 1940s-1960s and featured convoluted, nonlinear plots and foreboding music that kept viewers on edge. Common elements included corrupt characters like detectives, gangsters, and sociopaths in bleak stories that rarely had happy endings.

The 1951 film adaptation of The Red Badge of Courage directed by John Huston was an artistic vision hampered by studio interference. Huston used unconventional camera angles and composition to create a foreboding sense of the battlefield but felt the studio did not support his vision. Scenes were cut and narration added against Huston's wishes after test screenings. Though the film featured famous actors like Audie Murphy and Bill Mauldin, Huston believed it was his best work but was disappointed it seemed destined to be considered a box office failure instead of the artistic achievement he intended.
Political cartoons
Political cartoons aim to make a political point through humor or serious imagery. The first known American political cartoon, "Join, or Die" from 1754, depicted a segmented snake and called for unity among the colonies against threats. Political cartoons grew with lithography in the 1820s, spreading ideas through inexpensive prints. Thomas Nast was a influential 19th century cartoonist who helped elect Lincoln and took down the corrupt Tweed Ring through cartoons in Harper's Weekly. In the 20th century, cartoonists like Herblock attacked McCarthyism, though TV and internet have reduced cartoons' societal influence today.

Hollywood’s Vietnam: How Critics and Audiences Responded to the Vietnam War G...
This four part senior project takes a comprehensive look at articles published in the Los Angeles Times and New York Times to determine how and why critics reviewed essential films about the Vietnam War. It thereby highlights the trends that emerged in their reaction to them. The first section analyzes critics’ response to Coming Home (1978). As the first major film with direct reference to Vietnam, Coming Home posed a unique problem for film critics. The second section analyzes the second major film about Vietnam, The Deer Hunter (1978). The majority of newspaper critics defended Cimino’s epic against negative claims that the film was historically inaccurate. Since Coming Home and The Deer Hunter qualified in the same Academy Award year, it is necessary to talk about their popular reception together, in a third, separate category. The final section of this essay emphasizes the shift in critics’ response to Platoon (1986). Instead of focusing on the inaccuracies presented in the film, newspaper critics largely praised it as the first real attempt at a Vietnam War film. Since this essay is not a filmography, numerous films are not mentioned in detail; the three films discussed stand as representations for the types of reviews that films in the Vietnam War genre received.

Made In Hollywood - Italian Americans in Film
Italian immigrants made significant early contributions to the development of Hollywood's film industry in roles behind the camera like set designers and artisans. However, on screen they were often typecast in stereotypical roles as gangsters, buffoons, or exotic lovers. These stereotypes were perpetuated in early 20th century films written and directed by white Anglo-Saxon Protestants and reflected the prejudices of the time against southern and eastern European immigrants. Famous actors like Rudolph Valentino helped popularize the "Latin lover" stereotype despite having a personal life unlike his screen personas. By the 1930s with the advent of talking pictures, these stereotypical portrayals of Italian Americans had become firmly established in American cinema.
Classical film study
Italian neorealism started after World War 2 as a desire for social progress. Films like Rome, Open City documented ordinary peoples' emotions without studios or lighting. It used non-professional actors and location shooting to portray post-war struggles. The movement declined in the 1950s but influenced directors globally like Satyajit Ray and Ken Loach, showing that authentic stories don't need expensive production.
final english paper
This document provides an in-depth analysis of the 1968 film The Green Berets and Hollywood's initial reluctance to make films about the Vietnam War. It discusses how The Green Berets tried to portray the war in a positive light using conventions from WWII films but ultimately failed due to its unrealistic and propagandistic portrayal. The film received scathing reviews and showed that applying outdated formulas to Vietnam did not work. This failure taught Hollywood that new approaches were needed to represent the controversial war.
When reality hides
The document discusses how cinema has often been used as a propaganda tool to promote political messages and ideals. It provides examples of American and Soviet films during the Cold War era that contained overt or subtle propaganda, promoting anti-communist ideals or supporting political actions. More recently, some disaster films have also been analyzed as containing messages about climate change. The internet has made viewers more attuned to analyzing propaganda techniques in films.
War genre audience theories
The document discusses different audience theories that can be applied to understanding the war genre, including the hypodermic needle model and uses and gratification theory. It provides examples of how war films like American Sniper and Lone Survivor were interpreted by audiences and either promoted propaganda or cultural understanding. While some viewers may passively absorb the messages of war films, uses and gratification theory suggests that many take a more active role in interpreting films to meet needs like entertainment, information, social interaction, and identity exploration. Gaming is also discussed as a popular genre that synergizes with war films but fails to realistically capture the true experiences and consequences of war.

The document discusses different audience theories that can be applied to understanding the war genre, including the hypodermic needle model and uses and gratifications hypothesis. It provides examples of how different war films like American Sniper and Lone Survivor have been interpreted through these different lenses. While some viewers may passively absorb the messages of war propaganda, others take a more active role in critically analyzing the films and fulfilling their own needs and interests through viewing war films. Gaming is also discussed as a medium that synergizes with the war genre but does not truly recreate the realism and complexity of actual war.
ToK Presentation - Pearl Harbor
The document discusses the 1941 Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor and the subsequent American entry into World War 2. It analyzes the 1942 film "Tora! Tora! Tora!" about the Pearl Harbor attack, noting several historical inaccuracies presented in the film that seem intended to glorify American forces and downplay Japanese resistance. The document questions whether historical truth can be obtained from films, as the perspectives are often limited and biased depending on who produces the film.
Genre

Political films of US and Japan
The document discusses the history of political and socially conscious filmmaking in the United States from the 1920s through the 1990s. It covers early films made for African American audiences by Oscar Micheaux in the 1920s-1940s. It then discusses the rise of leftist documentary film collectives in the 1930s that addressed issues of poverty and racism. During World War II, propaganda films were produced to explain America's involvement in the war. The 1960s saw the emergence of counterculture and New Left films critical of the Vietnam War. Political films continued in the 1970s reflecting the tumultuous times. The document concludes with brief mentions of Gulf War films in the 1990s and changes in the film industry during that decade
Nazi script exemplar
This presentation compares the representation of Nazis in three films: Indiana Jones and the Raiders of the Lost Ark, Schindler's List, and Dead Snow. In Indiana Jones, Nazis are portrayed as purely evil villains for the protagonist to battle. Schindler's List aims for a more accurate historical portrayal, though some question how realistic some scenes are. Dead Snow depicts Nazis as unintelligent zombie monsters, moving further from reality. The presentation examines how Nazi representations have changed over time and become ingrained symbols in popular culture and society.

Pp working women corrected
American and Italian women have made significant advances in the workplace over the 20th century. In the early 1900s, women in both countries mainly worked in agriculture or factories under difficult conditions. World War I opened more jobs to women as men left for war. While rights expanded in the following decades, discrimination remained. The 1960s onward saw further legal protections and norms changing to promote greater equality and opportunities for women in both the US and Italy.

Presentazione racial discrimination 2
Racial discrimination continues to be an issue in both Italy and the U.S. today, though it manifests differently in each country. In Italy, there are fewer incidents of racial discrimination compared to the U.S., which has deep roots in slavery and civil rights struggles. However, negative media portrayals have influenced public opinion against immigrants from North Africa in Italy. In the entertainment industry, racial discrimination is more apparent in the U.S. through a lack of non-white celebrities and stereotypical portrayals of African Americans in music videos, while Italy's entertainment world shows no racial discrimination.
Racial discrimination title
Racial discrimination continues to be a problem in both Italy and the U.S. In Italy, racial discrimination is often directed at Romani people and immigrants from Africa and Eastern Europe through unequal treatment in jobs, housing, and public services. In the U.S., racial discrimination persists through ongoing racial profiling by police, disparities in income and wealth between white and black Americans, and underrepresentation of racial minorities in positions of power.
Racial discrimination
Racial discrimination continues to be a problem in both Italy and the U.S. In Italy, racial discrimination is often directed at the Roma people and immigrants from Africa and Eastern Europe through restrictive citizenship laws and racist attitudes. In the U.S., racial minorities still face discrimination in areas like criminal justice and employment, though civil rights laws prohibit most overt racist policies and attitudes have progressed significantly compared to past decades.
Torture
The document discusses the issue of torture, from philosopher Cesare Beccaria's view that punishment should not involve tormenting people, to modern times. While most Americans say torture is sometimes justified for terrorism suspects, groups like Amnesty International argue the US has violated anti-torture prohibitions since 9/11 at places like Guantanamo Bay and Abu Ghraib prison in Iraq.

Death penalty2
The document discusses several arguments around capital punishment:
1) There is a risk that executions become shows for revenge rather than a deterrent.
2) Wrongful executions are a miscarriage of justice, as innocent people have been put to death, though DNA evidence has exonerated some on death row.
3) Governments ordering public executions amounts to state-sanctioned murder.
Death penalty
The document discusses four important issues regarding the death penalty and its effectiveness as a deterrent for crime. It examines whether crime rates are higher in countries without the death penalty, if executions can influence others' behavior, the possibility of wrongful convictions, and if governments committing executions can be considered murderers. Data presented shows that murder rates have consistently been lower in US states without the death penalty compared to those with it, calling into question whether the death penalty successfully deters criminal acts.
Dalziel teatro
This document summarizes student drama productions in English at the University of Padua from 1998 to 2010. It describes the genres performed, including sketches by Harold Pinter, Arnold Wesker's play The Kitchen, and adaptations of Shakespeare plays like Henry VI and Romeo and Juliet. Over time, the productions grew to include plays in other languages and more ambitious projects like a musical adaptation of West Side Story and John Webster's The Duchess of Malfi. The productions provided opportunities for students to improve their English skills and experience theatre in a collaborative, extracurricular setting.
