Becoming fond of Pointdexter, the Judge invites him to work at his house.
The story goes on as the Judge's nephew, Jerome, is presented as he returns from the North where he earned a degree in law. Jerome develops a crush for the next-door neighbor's daughter, Ellie May Gilliespie, and his uncle helps him get to her heart through several clever methods. Jerome's mother does not agree with the Judge's behavior, as she is not willing to accept having her son marrying a girl that has no parents. The Judge later found out that Ellie's father is none other than the local blacksmith, Bob Gillis.
Jerome has no time to spend as he is presented with his first case, where he has to defend Gillis against a man which he stabbed. Gillis stabbed the barber for the fact that he had said bad words relating to Ellie's past.
Judge Priest leaves to court after Maydew protests against him and Judge Fairleigh takes his place in the court. Gillis...
Just when it seems that Gillis has no way out, the town's reverend, Ashby Brand, comes forward and tells Gillis's story. It is revealed that Gillis had been a war hero who has had much to suffer during the war. The movie ends with the whole town celebrating the veteran's day parade and with Gillis carrying the Confederate flag.
The movie has an interesting plot, and the actors perform brilliantly throughout the movie. However, the movie tends to be rather racist in some of the scenes. In spite of Pointdexter's magnificent acting, his character gives a bad name to black people everywhere. The character has difficulty speaking right and he is extremely lazy. The movie proves that slavery is something which people have had a hard time forgetting.

Before young Hendrix chooses the Pepsi over the Coke, the only sound heard is the honking of passing cars. Once the Pepsi is open and the guitar is shown, the Hendrix song begins to play. When he looks to the Coke machine, the irritating sound of the accordion begins to play. The relationship of the clip's image and sound makes the message loud and easy to understand. Anytime that
French Connection William Friedkin's 1971 film The French connection is a masterpiece of cinematography. Several scenes can demonstrate a clever yet subtle use of camera angles, sound, and editing. Unique to The French Connection is the deft use of diegetic street noises in place of pit music, conveying the stark realism that characterizes Friedkin's production. The scene with the sniper atop an apartment building is a prime example of how cinematography
Close up shots are also used in this sequence to depict the soldiers that are flying in the helicopters during the attack. By using close up shots, the camera implies that the soldiers are being seen from the point-of-view of someone that would be flying alongside the men. Additionally, when the beach is being bombed by jets -- during which Lt. Col. Kilgore gives his infamous napalm speech --
Blue Velvet, directed by David Lynch [...] mise-en-scene and cinematography in the film. David Lynch is a master of the film noir, dark and brooding types of films that disturb, disquiet, and titillate all at the same time, and "Blue Velvet" is no exception. The film is part blue porn flick, part girl-next-door love story, and part sadistic kidnapping, and yet the elements all blend together to form a
Assignment The 1987 film The Princess Bride has become part of the public consciousness, and has what can be considered a cult following. While on the surface it seems like a frivolous romantic film, what makes The Princess Bride enduring is that it manages to be satirical without being cynical. The quirky dialogue of the film has given the popular culture catchphrases like �As you wish,� �inconceivable,� and Mandy Patankin�s
