Objective of the Paper

Today Hollywood filmmakers have modified the vision of cinema on society. Their films follow a additional lucid read of the globe, its cities and their inhabitants. Dennis Hopper, a pioneer of this movement, has described the phenomenon as a force arising from gang warfare in LA colors in 1988.This paper is going to trace life and culture of l. a. , as shown in Hollywood movies. In doing thus, the paper reflects upon critically reviewing five movies; from thrillers like Chinatown, to race-relations movies like “Crash”. The paper initial provides an account of the wave of drives with that movies representing that movies have modified over time. Following it, a review of flicks is presented (Eileen, 160). Finally the paper concludes with identifying the simplest representative movie base on the evaluations (Robert, 69).
