I still have a box of important trinkets sitting on a shelf in my room, next to my Burger King exclusive glass goblets issued in 2001 for LOTR: Fellowship of the Ring, as well as Indiana Jones and the Crystal Skull popcorn cartons that were sold at Blockbuster in 2008. There is no perubrital movie tie-in rock I have left unturned. What draws me to collecting movie tie in products? I don’t know to be honest. But, I think it has
unspoken tradition is the way I spend time and connect with my dad. Sitting down on a rainy day or just the odd night to watch a movie together has been a regular activity that my dad, my brother, my friends, and I do. Some may say that watching movies is just a few people sitting on a couch not interacting or connecting in anyway. But it just isn’t. Finding a movie starring an actor, directed by a director or in a genre we both like is an exciting process that is rewarded with 1.5 – 2.5 hours

However, The Graduate is a satisfying movie considering how relatable the main character is and how the humor is different from all the humor in today’s movies. Benjamin Braddock is a normal
In the movie They Live, I observed many different types of mise-en-scene. To me the most obvious form of mise-en-scene is the sunglasses. A piece of mise-en-scene is discovered when the main character puts on the sunglasses, and the theme of the movie is finally revealed to the viewers.

Attendance allows for profitable sales of concessions and advertisements, but there are significant caps on the volume of concession sales per person, and selling price seem to have reached a maximum.
