The purpose of this religious didactic study is to investigate how ethics and moral can be interpreted in three different movies. The purpose behind this study is to get a better understanding of how these movies could be used in the subject religion within the college school system. This study of use a qualitative method analysis when studying the films, where the films are interpreted from three different ethical theories such as Utilitarianism, Virtue ethics and Deontological ethics. The quantitative method focuses on social convention in order to fully understand the bigger picture. The social aspects are relevant since this study will examine to see if the movies are fit to be material in the classroom. In order to make this clear I will tie the movies to the college pass marks for the subject Religion. Due to this, the control documents and the curriculum will be tied into the use of the movies in order to give teachers a better understanding of what purpose the film will fulfill.

Thèse réalisée en cotutelle avec l'Université de Provence au sein du département d’études cinématographiques, U.F.R. Lettres et Arts, L.E.S.A. École doctorale Lettres, Langues et Arts. Soutenue publiquement à l'Université de Provence le 16 juillet 2010. / Un film problématise en images et en sons ce dont il traite. Le type d’analyse faisant apparaître cette relation étroite entre les formes du contenu et les formes de l’expression est l’analyse figurative. En voici la méthode exposée par Nicole Brenez en 1998 dans De la figure en général et du corps en particulier. Tout d’abord, il doit être admis que le film prime sur son contexte. Ensuite, les composantes d’un film sont des éléments. Puis, ces éléments sont autant de questions. Enfin, le cinéma problématise ce dont il traite. Seulement, ces quatre présupposés ne vont pas de soi. Ils induisent un double mouvement : le film pose des exigences à l’analyse que seule l’analyse rend visibles. Ce double mouvement dépasse le film pour questionner le cinéma. Cette thèse a pour but de démontrer que, d’une part, l’analyse figurative trouve ses fondements dans l’histoire du cinéma et que, d’autre part, grâce à des analyses figuratives, nous pouvons mettre à jour des changements dans le fonctionnement des images, du montage, des personnages. La méthodologie de l’analyse filmique repose par conséquent sur une étude historico-esthétique des formes cinématographiques. Or, ces formes sont autant de façons de penser le cinéma et de penser au cinéma. C’est précisément la circulation entre les formes du contenu, les formes de l’expression et les formes de l’analyse qui rend visible ce champ sensible d’expérimentations qu’est le film – une pensée-cinéma. / What is a cinematographic thought? A film theorized with images and sounds what it is dealing with. The methodology of film analysis which reveals that close relationship between images, sounds and thought is figurative. It was exposed in Nicole Brenez De la figure en général et du corps en particulier in 1998. First, the analyst must consider that the film is more important than its context. Next, its components shall be understood as elements. Then, those elements are regarded as questions. Finally, the film has to be considered as an interrogation of its subject. However, those four steps aren’t necessarily clear. They lead to a double thought: the film forces the analysis to include elements that are only made visible with the analysis. This double thought goes beyond the film and questions cinema itself. This study’s aim is to prove that a figurative analysis finds its foundations within the history of cinema, and due to these analyses, the changes regarding the construction of the image, editing, and character can be revealed. This methodology lies on an historical and aesthetic study of the cinematographic forms. Those forms are the way cinema thinks. Emerging from this relationship of a form, its expression, and its analysis is a sensitive field of experimentations: a cinematographic thought.

Two years after Dutch émigré Andries Deinum was fired from the University of Southern California in 1955 for refusing to cooperate with the House Un-American Activities Committee, he moved to Portland, Oregon to teach film courses through the Portland Extension Center. By 1969 he had become integral to the local film community and had formed Portland State University's Center for the Moving Image (CMI), where he and Tom Taylor taught film history, criticism, and production for the next thirteen years. Although CMI was eliminated in 1981 as part of PSU's financial exigency, CMI's teachers and students have been a vital part of the thriving film community in Portland since its foundation. A key former student and figure in Portland's film community, Dr. Brooke Jacobson credits Deinum, Taylor, and CMI for laying the foundation for the Northwest Film Center (co-founded by Jacobson in 1971 as the Northwest Film Study Center). Through archival research and oral history methodology, this thesis pieces together Andries Deinum's role in the development of film education in the United States and the mark he left on Portland's cultural landscape, specifically the city's vital and thriving cinematic community.
