Improved Essays
On page eighteen of Alan Moore and David Lloyd’s V for Vendetta, Moore and Lloyd use camera angle to draw attention towards the location of the books and V in order to suggest a connection between them. With this in mind, the camera angles utilized in panels, three, five, six, and seven are mostly medium shots, notably these chosen angles allow for the reader to see V in the foreground with the books in the background behind him. In like manner, panel five especially illustrates a connection between V and the books, since the authors have specifically chosen to use a close up shot showing V engaging in contact with the books, rather than the medium shots used where he is only shown standing in front of the books.

    Joseph McCarthy Few people in American history have ever plunged the country into panic as Joseph McCarthy did in the 1950s. He single-handedly fabricated a scandal he claimed reached into the highest branches of the US government. Lacking substantial evidence, he accused various senators, representatives, and officials of being communist spies. His infamous “list” of such people was comprised of information that was “either taken from other sources or misremembered or just made up” (Kelley).…

    Auteur theory is the theory of filmmaking in which the director is regarded as the key creative force in a film. Dubbed by American film critic Andrew Sarris in France during the late 1940’s, auteur theory was an outgrowth of the cinematic theories of Andre Bazin and Alexandre Astruc. This theory states that the director, who oversees all visual and audio elements of a film, is considered somewhat of an ‘author’ of a film more so than the writer of the screenplay. This means that visual elements such as blocking lighting, camera placement and angles as well as scene length deliver the message of the film, rather than the plot. To qualify as an auteur, a director must showcase technical competence, personal style, and interior meaning.…

    V For Vendetta, a film directed by James McTeigue based on the graphic novel series by David Moore and David Lloyd share many similarities with Julius Caesar by William Shakespeare. Both of the works have common themes of vigilantism, rhetoric and power struggles, as well as betrayal, yet rhetoric and power is the theme of the most substance. There are many parallels between the characters of both medias. In both works, there is a sense of an all powerful ruler coming into power on terms not traditionally used in their government as well as the all powerful character of each ruler. V for Vendetta was the story of a vigilante fighting the government under the simple alias of ‘V’ and Evey, the female protagonist and sidekick of V. They embark…

    In the film ‘Where to Invade Next’ by Michael Moore, he goes to Europe to random countries to take their ideas that he thinks will be a good idea for the US to follow as a way to show he took over their idea and saying it was an American idea. This film was a satirical piece of him playing the ugly american that think they are the best and they are the right way or the highway.

    In my opinion, the author Virginia Woolf compared the World War II deaths with the death of the moth. During the period of war, she wanted to convey her message to the readers of that time, that were under the influence of stress and demotivation. According to her, everyone has to taste death, although she wanted to say that the death is the part of life that never stop the world. Secondly, I fully agree with her critical point of focus which was that human beings struggle in their entire life for their needs, but they never know that when they will have their last breath. Similarly, the moth had the determination to live, it struggled hard to survive, but in the end, it lost its life.…
