    Princess Bride Analysis

    Princess Bride is a critically-acclaimed film based on a novel that includes strong aspects of the hero’s journey. Rob Reiner, the director, creates a perfect mix of comedy, fantasy, and romance which successfully delivers the deconstructive interpretation that Inigo Montoya is the hero of the story rather than “the man in black”. Inigo Montoya’s call to adventure begins when his father is unrightfully murdered by the six-fingered villain and his drive for revenge establishes the events that lead to the rescue of the princess bride. A close reading of the text reveals without Inigo Montoya’s presence in the storyline the hero’s journey would not have been able to be completed, hence making him the protagonist. It all begins with a magnificent…

    Arrigo Boito once told Giuseppe Verdi that “an opera is not a play” and that “eight bars are enough to restore a sentiment to life; a rhythm can re-establish a character; music is the most omnipotent of all arts.” It can be argued that Giuseppe Verdi’s Otello may be a greater work of art than Shakespeare ’s play Othello. Otello is so much more than just a translation from Shakespeare’s play. Verdi took Shakespeare’s 3,500 line play and turned it into a masterpiece of operatic literature with fewer than 800.…

    When professor mentioned that we would watch and discuss about a Broadway Musical show named ‘Memphis’, the first that came to my mind was, the actual city Memphis in the southern state of Tennessee. I was still confused as to how a city and its activities could be incorporated into a Musical show, which is assumed to be entertaining with melodramatic components, dance and music. I had an assumption that it would be academic, political, boring since it is to be watched in a classroom setting and that a professor would not choose something entertaining or something of the liking of the younger generation. I deduced that this play might touch the topic of race since race defined how a person is treated in most southern states. I assumed that…

    A film is an art form. Composer, Henry Mancini, once said, “the real creative power is in the mind and heart of the composer.” Henry Mancini was the composer for Touch of Evil and Breakfast at Tiffany’s. While these two films may seem like they don’t connect with each other at any point, they do and it is with Henry Mancini. By examining Touch of Evil and Breakfast at Tiffany’s through the lens of Henry Mancini’s music choices we can see that Mancini’s music choices were just as important as Blake Edwards, director.…

    Richard Wagner’s The Ride of the Valkyries illustrates an overwhelming military force that triumphantly defeats its opponents in warfare. This image is brought about by the polyphonic texture from the wavering pitch of the string instruments, the booming intensity of brass and percussion instruments, and the stable rhythm of low and high pitches. The opening of the song presents a sense of urgency as a stack of three high pitches of a string instrument. A brass instrument sets the prideful tone of the music as it follows the stack of string instruments in a low pitch.…

    When no score is present, other diegetic sounds add to the overall audio-visual environment of the film. The usage of the alternate versions of Okuribito at different points of the film coincide with research by Boltz, Shulkind, and Kantra, (1991, pp593-606) stating background music has a profound effect on retention of filmed events. This is further solidified by “opening credit and end title music…as recurring musical themes that come to represent characters or situations within the film” (Libscomb & Tilchinsky, 2005, p10). With such complex usage of sound and music, the film is able to foreground its dialogue and visual aesthetic without saturating the scene with too much music, instead opting for ambient sounds while only allowing the score to play when attempting to elicit and emotional response. The control of sound was a main theme that most likely earned the film an…
