Steven Soderbergh is known as much for his Oscar winning tense dramas as he is retiring... then not retiring. He was a part of the indy revolution in the 1980s and 90s that helped usher in a new case of writers and directors who didn't play by the rules of the Hollywood system. He's also known for making quirky and emotionally potent small films. In this episode of Crash Course Film Criticism, we'll look at one of his smaller films. It's called The Limey and it's about a British lifetime criminal seeking revenge for the death of his daughter. 

The Limey: Crash Course Film Criticism

James Cameron rocketed onto the action film scene with 1984's "The Terminator" and followed that up with a highly anticipated sequel to the 1979 film, "Alien." His film, "Aliens," would go on to not only be a financial success, but a critical one and has become a staple of action, science fiction, and effects filmmaking. But, "Aliens" also rewards a deeper look through a critical lens in both some positive and not so positive ways. ***Alien and Aliens are the property of 20th Century Fox.

👉 Learn how to find the critical values of a function. The critical values of a function are the points where the graph turns. They are also called the turning points of a function. To obtain the critical points of a function, first, we obtain the first derivative of the function. Next, we set the first derivative equal to zero and solve for x. the values of x obtained are the critical points of the function.

👉 Learn the basics to graphing sine and cosine functions. The sine graph is a sinusiodal graph with x-intercepts at x = 2n*pi, maximun value of 1 at x = pi/2 + 2n*pi and minimum value of -1 at x = -pi/2 + 2n*pi. The cosine graph is a sinusiodal graph with x-intercepts at x = n*pi/2, maximum value of 1 at x = 2n*pi and minimum value of -1 at x = (2n - 1)pi. To graph the sine and the cosine graph, we plot the above points on the x-y coordinate plane and graph accordingly. After we have graphed the parent graph, we then apply the required transformations to the sine/cosine graph. The amplitude is the maximum point on the graph, the period is the distance/time for a complete oscillation, the phase shift is the horizontal shift from the parent function, the vertical shift is the vertical shift from the parent function.

During our Film History and Production series, we talked about how Film is an "Illusion of Reality." That filmmakers use shots, cuts, and narrative structure to trick us into believing what we're seeing. But, what happens when that Illusion of Reality is an Illusion of Actual Reality? Otto Bell's "The Eagle Huntress" is a feel good, enchanting, and powerful hero's journey. But its characters are real. It's a documentary. And, as good as the film is, it's not without appropriate criticisms. In this episode of Crash Course Film Criticism, we take a look at a documentary that's as moving as any narrative fiction film.

In this episode of Crash Course Film Criticism, Michael Aranda talks to us about the craft of filmmaking in Cary Fukunaga's "Beasts of No Nation."
