This paper's topic is about the film, The Graduate. The 1967 film, The Graduate, hit movie screens at a time in America's history when its traditional middle class values were being challenged by the burgeoning counter-culture. As a result, The Graduate made a mark in pop-culture history as one of the most controversial and influential films of all time. Dustin Hoffman, in his first major film role, portrayed a young college graduate named Benjamin Braddock who, like many young people of his generation, emerged from the safe haven of the college campus disoriented, naive, and unsure of what the future would hold.

219.486 An Analysis of The Shining.
This paper discusses Stanley Kubrick's film adaptation of Stephen King's novel The Shining. It provides a stunning example of how a great director is able to maximize the potential impact of the film medium. Through his use of recurring themes and a unique stylistic vision, Kubrick succeeds in putting a stamp of individuality on all his films. One theme that is prominent in The Shining is the passage of time. The significance of time, as an agent of constant change, is touched upon throughout the film in a variety of ways including the obvious and the subtle, beginning with the opening sequence in which we travel up the long, winding and foreboding mountain road to the Overlook Hotel. Subsequently, in his interview with the hotel manager, it is made clear to Jack that the job of being the off-season manager at the Overlook Hotel is not an easy or desirable task.

224.600 An Analysis of the Film, Easy Rider.
This paper discusses the film, Easy Rider. It serves serve as an introduction to 60's hippie culture as it was at its very core. When we first meet the film's two protagonists, Billy (Dennis Hopper) and Wyatt (Peter Fonda), they're making a drug deal for a few kilos of cocaine which they then promptly turn around and sell for profit. Easy Rider is, more than anything else, a film about freedom. It seems that young Americans had spent a few years trying to achieve freedom at any cost and now, as '67's summer of love was fading into memory, many were wondering exactly what it meant to be free and if it were even possible to ever attain true freedom.
