Scene Analysis: Deadshot

Decent Essays
In a moment throughout the slow motion sequence, shallow space composition takes place between Deadshot and his young daughter. Although his daughter was not physically present at the scene it was a figment of his imagination. As Deadshot was about to take a shot at a bomb that would destroy Enchantress’s machine, his daughter appears to try and stop him from taking any action that he might regret. Amid identical shallow composition shots, blurred out background, and eye line matches Deadshot has an internal conflict with himself and the image of his daughter who is telling him to “not do it”. Shallow space composition in this scene serves the purpose to reveal the struggle within Deadshot as he tries to be a good guy for the sake of his daughter.

    In her article "Shooting the messenger: Why Canadians don't blow the whistle on wrongdoing" Suanne Kelman aims to unravel the Canadian stigma regarding whistleblowers. Last year, when Wikileaks declassified a large quantity of corrupt government documents, the general canadian's reaction was not one of solidarity, but rather of condemnation. Kelman believes that, "somewhere in the Canadian psyche there seems to be a rooted belief that whistleblowing is not nice"(200). This explains why the canadian discussion tends to revolve more around the founder of Wikileaks' character, rather than the issue of transparency itself. It is not as if there are no cases of government corruption in canada.…

    High Noon Film Analysis

    Both the film, High Noon, and the story, “The Most Dangerous Game,” share a very similar setting that affects the course of the stories. “Near a landmark of some kind-a tree or an outcropping of a rock-a man on a horseback awaits”(Foreman 288). This quote is trying to demonstrate how the closest object, feature of a landmark or town of Hadleyville is a tree, which goes to show how detached from society the setting of High Noon is. “His eyes made out the shadowy outlines of a palatial chateau: it was set on a high bluff, and on three sides of it cliffs dived down to where the sea licked greedy lips in the shadows,”(Connell 7). This quote, which is talking about the short story, “The Most Dangerous Game,” is saying that there is one chateau,…

    CNN host, Fareed Zakaria, suggested that, “During the Cold War, we [Americans] were interested because we were scared that Russia and the United States were going to go to war.” The Cold War refers to the tense relationship between the United States and the Soviet Union between 1945 and 1991. The two sides never confronted each other within battle. Americans, however, still lived in constant fear of communism and a war with Russia. A technique I learned earlier within this class was that our society tends to turn their fears into monsters on the big screen in order to face and inevitably conquer them.…

    This movie shows us the hope that Andy Dufresne had with him the whole time he was in prison. It is the hope that we find Søren Kierkegaard and Albert Camus talk about – existentialist hope. After having read on the philosophies of the two existentialists, I started to realize how I could see that hope being portrayed in this movie. Existentialism is focused on human existence and how to become fully human. For Kierkegaard, to exist means to stand out which was exactly what Andy did a few months after he entered Shawshank.…
