In The Middle Somewhat Elevated And Spartacus

Improved Essays
The performances In the Middle Somewhat Elevated and Spartacus resemble and differ from each other in several ways. The execution in Spartacus in which Phrygia is taken away is similar to that of In the Middle Somewhat Elevated; both employ similar moves as they are both ballets. The two performances seem seem to imply some sort of romance going on with the duo dancing in each. Both dances imploy music that fits the style they’re going for Spartacus with an orchestra and In the Middle Somewhat Elevated using a more modern piece. This however, is were the similarities seem to end since both ballets are going for extremely different styles.

Preceding the show I had relatively low expectations since I am not an Elton John fan and the show was set to his music and was inspired by his journey.

    Heroes typically have the characteristics of being strong and fearless. The ancient hero Gilgamesh had these ideals in the story the Epic of Gilgamesh, written in Western Asia in 2000 B.C.E. Even though these ideals are present, they are not as evident in the hero Harry Potter from J.K Rowling’s Harry Potter series written in the 21st century. However, in almost every book, no matter what the culture or time period are, the same basic themes of character traits, power and death recur.…

    From my impressions, it seems to me that daily life must have probably been harsher in Sparta than in Athens. Since Sparta had the Agoge, the Spartan education system, which was “notoriously harsh and brutal” (Brand, n.d., p. 6). So from a young age, boys were trained “to be soldiers and girls to be baby-factories” (Brand, n.d., p. 6). So from the get-go, the life of a Spartan was hard. On the other hand, Athenian boys and girls weren’t put through a rigorous physical training system.…

The way that the two movies handle the side characters is a reflection of Chinmoku as well as Uchi to Soto. Finally, the scene where the husband rips the dress of his dancing partner during the competition and then reconciles with his family shows the Japanese concept of Honne and Tatemae as well as elements of Amae.…

    Casablanca is considered to be one of the greatest films of all time, and it’s not hard to see why. Coming at a time when the world needed it most, the film brings comedy and romance to a dark situation. It is often considered a noir film because if this darkness, but it’s lightheartedness, along with other elements, keeps it from falling into the gloomy genre. Released only a year apart, Casablanca and The Maltese Falcon share multiple commonalities, which fuels the debate over whether or not Casablanca is a noir film. The most obvious similarity between the two is the three actors who star in both films, Humphrey Bogart, Peter Lorre, and Sydney Greenstreet.…
