Does someone have written film analysis???it can be any film. Help me it's due today.

Ilya [14]

Answer:

Alex Garland’s 2015 science fiction film Ex Machina follows a young programmer’s attempts to determine whether or not an android possesses a consciousness complicated enough to pass as human. The film is celebrated for its thought-provoking depiction of the anxiety over whether a nonhuman entity could mimic or exceed human abilities, but analyzing the early sections of the film, before artificial intelligence is even introduced, reveals a compelling examination of humans’ inability to articulate their thoughts and feelings. In its opening sequence, Ex Machina establishes that it’s not only about the difficulty of creating a machine that can effectively talk to humans, but about human beings who struggle to find ways to communicate with each other in an increasingly digital world.

The piece's opening introduces the film with a plot summary that doesn't give away too much and a brief summary of the critical conversation that has centered around the film. Then, however, it deviates from this conversation by suggesting that Ex Machina has things to say about humanity before non-human characters even appear. Off to a great start.

The film’s first establishing shots set the action in a busy modern office. A woman sits at a computer, absorbed in her screen. The camera looks at her through a glass wall, one of many in the shot. The reflections of passersby reflected in the glass and the workspace’s dim blue light make it difficult to determine how many rooms are depicted. The camera cuts to a few different young men typing on their phones, their bodies partially concealed both by people walking between them and the camera and by the stylized modern furniture that surrounds them. The fourth shot peeks over a computer monitor at a blonde man working with headphones in. A slight zoom toward his face suggests that this is an important character, and the cut to a point-of-view shot looking at his computer screen confirms this. We later learn that this is Caleb Smith (Domhnall Gleeson), a young programmer whose perspective the film follows.

The rest of the sequence cuts between shots from Caleb’s P.O.V. and reaction shots of his face, as he receives and processes the news that he has won first prize in a staff competition. Shocked, Caleb dives for his cellphone and texts several people the news. Several people immediately respond with congratulatory messages, and after a moment the woman from the opening shot runs in to give him a hug. At this point, the other people in the room look up, smile, and start clapping, while Caleb smiles disbelievingly—perhaps even anxiously—and the camera subtly zooms in a bit closer. Throughout the entire sequence, there is no sound other than ambient electronic music that gets slightly louder and more textured as the sequence progresses. A jump cut to an aerial view of a glacial landscape ends the sequence and indicates that Caleb is very quickly transported into a very unfamiliar setting, implying that he will have difficulty adjusting to this sudden change in circumstances.

These paragraphs are mostly descriptive. They give readers the information they will need to understand the argument the piece is about to offer. While passages like this can risk becoming boring if they dwell on unimportant details, the author wisely limits herself to two paragraphs and maintains a driving pace through her prose style choices (like an almost exclusive reliance on active verbs).

Complete the conversation. Use the present simple or present continuous of the verbs in the box be do film finish fly leave meet

Vesnalui [34]

Answer:

A: Hi, Jo. This is David. Do you want to meet for lunch today?

B: I can't. I have an audition this afternoon. They (34) are filming A scene for a TV series in town next week and they need extras.

A: Wow! And what time (35) is The audition?

B: It (36) starts At twelve o'clock, but I don't know exactly when it (37) finishes

A: Well, (38) are you doing anything tonight?

B: I (39) am meeting Some friends tonight, actually. What about tomorrow?

A: I (40) am flying To Munich tomorrow. Don't you remember?

B: Of course. What time (41) does Your flight leave?

A: At two. But I (42)am not doing Anything in the morning. You could help me pack my bags!

Explanation:

We use the present simple to talk about habits, facts and arranged timetables like the train or flight schedules.

To write affirmative sentences in present simple:

He/she/it + verb +s

For example, He eats lunch at noon every day.

We/you/they/you +verb

For example, We eat lunch at noon every day.

Note that the verb is without the s.

To write negative sentences in present simple:

He/she/it + does not / doesn't + verb

For example, He doesn't like broccoli.

We/you/they/you + do not / don't +verb

For example, We don't like broccoli.

To write questions in present simple:

Does + he/she/it + verb ?

For example, Does he like chocolate?

Do + we/you/they/you + verb?

For example, do you like chocolate?

36, 37, and 41 use the present simple to talk about timetables and schedules regarding the audition and flights.

We use the present continuous to talk about ongoing actions at the moment or arranged plans for the future.

To write affirmative sentences in present continuous:

He/she/it + is +verb +ing

For example, He is cooking dinner at the moment.

We/you/they/you + are + verb +ing

For example, We are leaving tomorrow.

To write negative sentences in present continuous:

He/she/it + is not / isn't +verb +ing

For example, he isn't cooking dinner at the moment.

We/you/they/you + are not/ aren't + verb +ing

For example, We aren't leaving tomorrow.

To write questions in present continuous:

Is + he/she/it +verb +ing?

For example, Is he cooking dinner at the moment?

Are + we/you/they/you + verb +ing?

For example, are you leaving tomorrow?

34, 35, 38, 39, 40, and 42 use the present continuous to talk about plans for the future. The main difference with the present simple in this aspect is that even though we can use both tenses to talk about the future, the present simple is for timetables and the present continuous, for plans or arranged dates that we or others make.
