Recent Nationalist Movements

Mysteries, hallucinatory fantasies and unexpected structure, style and character have become postmodern aesthetic. The Latin American historically make movies for local audiences in order to create awareness and improve condition. Latin American added their own flavor and style. The style includes allegory, flashy images, vivid color and powerful music. The Cubans used documentaries to meet the needs of the people. The cinema is not only providing entertainment but highlight social issues as well. Directors then focus on dark political allegories than in documentaries. Problems of third world and the madness and violence of world is also shown in movies. Every country releases their movie according to their culture and traditions. In Africa there were movies that were related to people. Their movies were related to social problems like racism. Movies in Australia and New Zealand are related to social problems in order to attract people. Canada If antipodal Australia and New Zealand had problems overcoming the domination of the U.S. film industry, Canada, just across the border, has been affected far more profoundly. Iran focuses on children and adults development, with no romance in the movies. Movies in Iran are usually based on the problems of females. One of the female director in Iran portrays women as struggling mothers in the movies.

The New American Independent Cinema

Correspondingly, filmmaking has become one of the most desirable professions in U.S. and a film degree one of the most sought-after diplomas in the academic world. People are less interested in writing a novel and more interested in making a movie. There is a factor of increased economic options, but commitment and passion are still the primary motivating source. The graphic violence is also being used in film which drives many viewers out of theatre but that fear did not materialize, although the violence worked against the film’s broader acceptance. Along with hot producers and directors, a new force in Indie cinema emerged, the producer representative. Individual heroes- directors, producers, agents- continue to feed the media frenzy. But the new independent cinema does not exist in a social or economic void. American independent cinema as an alternative system to Hollywood:

1.Hollywood’s move away from serious films.

2. There is a need for self-expression.

3.Rising options and capital in financing Indies etc.

4.Greater demand for visual media.

5.Supportive audiences

6.The decline of foreign-language films in American market.

7.The proliferation of film schools across the country.

8.The development of new organizational network.

9. The emergence of the Sundance Film Festival as the primary showcase for Indies and the rise of regional festivals.

10.The realization that there is money to be made in Indies.

The Popcorn Economy

The popcorn economy illustrates the economic condition of theaters. The strategies they use to lure the attention of the audience to get more money in very effective. In the era of studio systems, they have a vast place for as much as an audience as they can have. They also feature the performance of famous singers to get a great crowd of audiences. They also extended the tenure of a film to generate money. However, these theaters are replaced by cinemas, and they have a very different relationship with the studio. They are generating money through popcorn, soda, and other things. Also, they advertise their work on screen. They are not only getting profits from tickets or advertisements but also from selling refreshments. Cup holder mounted on seats is very helpful. People know that they will feel comfortable during the film as they will not have to hold it in their hands, so it is another source of high income. As it attracts many people to buy soda as well. Multiplex chains stand to make more money because the studios' television advertising tends to attract a bigger portion of main popcorn consumers: youngsters. Studios are dependent on theaters' cooperation and their standards when it comes to the quality of projection. The popcorn economy talks about how cinemas are not only getting money by casting famous actors or singers but also the refreshments in cinema is helping them to earn more.

La La Land

La La Land is a film about loving movies. It is an artistic achievement for filmmaking that praises the greatest musicals of all time on the big screen. Ryan Gosling and Emma Stone may not have been the best singers and dancers, but they sell it, as every great movie star did before. La Land lauds those who preceded it in almost every frame. Gosling revolves around the lamp as Jane Kelly did in Singin' in the Rain. The camera spreads at the party in the pool like the one in Boogie Nights. It is full of enough honor to make Quentin Tarantino blush. Sometimes it is clear. Sometimes it's hidden. La La Land totaled $ 151.1 million in the United States and Canada and $ 295 million in other regions with a global total of $ 446.1 million, against a production budget of $ 30 million. The genre of the movie is musical. La La Land, on its surface, is wonderful entertainment. Its songs, luminously colored clothing, and unique filmmaking transform enough that the movie's stability in entertainment is moving emotionally. For the millions of Americans suffering from anxiety and depression about the nation's condition, La La Land is a triviality that seems more fundamental because of our desperate need for distraction.

Three Identical Strangers

The recent documentary, Three Identical Strangers, tells a sometimes funny, sometimes unbelievable, and at times alarming story. Directed by Tim Wardle and screened across the United States in the past few weeks, the film tells a story that some of the 1980's headlines might remember. Identical college-age triplets - Eddie Galland, David Kellman, and Robert Shafran - each was adopted, and learned that they separated at birth and were reunited. Three strangers were reunited by stunning coincidence after they were born with identical triplets, detached at birth, and adopted by three different families. Their jaw-filled story immediately becomes a full global sense of fame and celebrity; however, the reunion of fairy tales begins in a series of events that reveal an unimaginable secret - one that has radical implications for all of us. The award-winning jury of the Sundance Film Festival, Three Strangers, is a big family celebration that turns into a thrilling story with tremendous implications and proving that life is truly alien to fiction. Though the story of the brothers' separation is not a top-secret - the film is grounded on an article published in the New Yorker in 1995 - is narrated by Wardle as a mystery, and a disturbing manipulation of nature.

Truman

The feeling that Cesc Gay might have a big impact on the art house abroad has been in the air for a long time, and Truman represents his best shot so far. It is the happiest and most emotionally straightforward work to date, totally outperforming the intelligent, intelligence of some of his previous works, and also the most easily accessible - a clean, sensibly written text and beautifully played two things that deal with complex issues in a refreshing direct way. Teacher Thomas (Javier Camara) leaves his Canadian home to travel to Madrid, where he will spend 4 days with actor Julian (Ricardo Darin), who is about 10 years old. As a severe cough from behind his closed door tells us, Julian has severe cancer. At first, Julian doubts Thomas is there to tell him his decision to stop his treatment, and there is tension, but this is dissipated because he is accompanying his friend around Madrid as he makes his final preparations and seeks to settle his novels before he leaves. The film switches between face-to-face scenes that include two predictable strings and scenarios involving other characters in situations that viewers might imagine. Truman performed well in Spain at $ 2.7 million, ranking 8th in his fifth week in theaters. In Argentina, Truman earned $ 2.6 million in credibility.

BlackKklansman

A near-fictional narrative is presented to Ron Stallworth; the first black officer appointed to the Colorado Springs Police Department in 1978. His employment in what was still a racist mentality was anti-black in force for his diversity abroad. Ron always wanted to be a cop, he never embraced the black stereotype, but largely appeared in white except for his black physical characteristics. Not having menial tasks in the records room where he was initially assigned, and where he is often bombarded by racist corruption by his fellow officers, he is able to convince his superiors that his unique traits are better suited for covert action. These presidents want him to infiltrate a black student union group led by Patrice Dumas, who is attending the president of the black leader, Kwame Toure, Ron's mission to ensure that no radical activities are carried out especially during what is expected to be highly charged modern. In addition to this task, Ron, driven by the speed in responding to the newspaper's announcement by phone call, can sneak into the local chapter of KKK, a subsequent call making its way to the same great national therapist, David Duke. However, the last shot is a silent picture of an inverted American flag appearing in black and white. BlacKkKlansman achieved $ 49.3 million in the U.S. and Canada, and $ 44.1 million in other regions, with a global total of $ 93.4 million, against a production budget of $ 15 million.

Moonlight

The combination of art and emotional directing in this film is irresistible. Barry Jenkins writes and directs him, having adapted the unproductive Tarell Alvin McCraney play in Moonlight Black Boys Look Blue. Moonlight revolves around an African-American young man and his date, displayed in three stages in his life, such as paintings from a trilogy. The film is powerful and generous, giving full access to his thoughts and feelings as if you were getting them into a vein. It's the kind of movie that makes you feel smarter and mentally lighter. Love, sex, survival, mother, and father personalities are the themes. The narrative bow is released together through a superb, charismatic performance from an actor who only appeared in the first chapter: he is Mahershala Ali, where he plays with Juan, the drug baron in Miami with a patriarchal side that honors and protects Little when he sees him getting chased by other children. The choice of three different actors is a visible part of the film's legacy: an officially embellished effect, with each new embodiment a shake, and distinctly different from the additional geological changes that have been made in Richard Leincliter's real-time Boyhood. The last lines in Moonlight symbolize the sexual and psychic longing that defines Black‘s life. Moonlight earned $ 27.8 million in the U.S. and Canada and $ 37.5 million in other regions with a global total of $ 65.3 million, against a production budget of $ 4 million.
