Should Toni Be Allowed

Improved Essays
My friend Toni and I should not be allowed in public. I have multiple reasons this rule should be held in place. First, gravity is out natural enemy. Any flat, bumpy, uneven, odd, or smooth surface holds danger for us. In addition to the social rimes that stand against us, we are incredibly loud. A person could hear our voices and laughter from across a building with a Michael Bay movie playing at full volume. The final reason would be, simply put, would be that I don’t care. i often find myself being the center of unwanted attention. Whether the attention comes from me winning a mildly inappropriate game of cards against humanity, a practical joke, or my nonexistent grace, I don’t care or put much thought to it. This however, makes Toni laugh …show more content…
the shock on his face glowed through the darkness. Her hands gripped his knees for support. All at the same time my arm that held Toni up shot toward the guy next to my friends victim and slapped what felt like a face. Then Tone was shoved even even closer to the letterman owners weapon of creation. All the while a girl in the very back kept calling out, “Toni? Is that you? Toni?”

Within the next thirty seconds Toni kept shouting apologie down the row till we reach our spot. The two guys held kept their stare on us not sure what to make of recent events. The heat of Toni's cheeks heated the entire vicinity and fueled my laughter. Within one minute we managed not only to grope a poor bystander, but also to slap his innocent friend in the face. each of my humorous bellows echoed against the walls and shout back to us. Slowly people turned to the center of the noise. But nothing could stop my laughter.

Minutes later the movie began and I settled down into my stiff chair. Every ones attention turned to the screen except mine. Every so often I would glance down to our victims and would be returned by the same stunned glares. My shaking chair would be enough to make Toni Shove her face back into her hands with

    The popularity of Jonathan Demme's movie is likely to last as long as there is a market for being scared. Like “Nosferatu,” “Psycho” and “Halloween,” it illustrates that the best thrillers don't age. Fear is a universal emotion and a timeless one. But “Silence of the Lambs” is not merely a thrill show. It is also about two of the most memorable characters in movie history, Clarice Starling and Hannibal Lecter, and their strange, strained relationship (“people will say we're in love,” Lecter cackles).…

    Hitchcock utilised the theme of voyeurism in many of his works e.g. Rear Window, Psycho, Vertigo, and North by Northwest, in his endless pursuit to engage the audience. The use of the gaze invites the viewer into the character’s world and become a part of the scene via relatability. Whilst watching a Hitchcock movie, we almost feel responsible when we see an act of violence being imposed on a character in an act of passion boiling over, as if the blade were in our own hand. There is an element of sadism in the cinematic technique of voyeurism. Considering the movie’s cinematic execution and prudent use of architectural devices, it is unsurprisingly one of Hitchcock’s most widely praised and analysed works.…

    Jaws Sound Analysis

    • 6 Pages

    Jaws has been memorable since its release in 1975, but most of its success is due to the magic of editing, which helped hide mechanical defects of production while heightening suspense, and its iconic music, both of which cemented Jaws’ position as a blockbuster. Though the concept of the titular creature becomes obvious shortly after the film beings, the crazily large man eating shark remains mostly unseen throughout the film. Unfortunately, the technology was not available to construct a large realistic shark, so rather than come off looking absurdly unrealistic, the choice was made to leave the image of the shark up to the editors, who were left with horrible raw footage of a floating barge, and transformed it into something the viewers were genuinely afraid of.…

    Humans are sympathetic creatures. It is a fact that differs us from many animals in the sense that our emotions, our idea of the construct of feelings, are imprinted on all the things around us. Our impressions can go as far to be characterized in art and music - these types of messages may not at all appear human but still invoke an emotional response. This response is so strong that even in the face of inhuman or dangerous circumstances, humanity still attempts to imprint human emotion on a scenario in order to relate. Even tortuous, gruesome people who have commit atrocities are in some way still relatable to the human sympathetic response.…

    One of the most well-known philosophical work on the phenomenon of laughter belongs to Henri Bergson, the author of Laughter written in 1900. There Bergson examines laughter as a social activity caused by certain comic situations, which in their turn obtain particular patterns of mechanics or repetition. According to Bergson, laughter is an exclusively human phenomenon such that only human beings are able to laugh and also are the primary objects of laughter. In all other cases, nature or inanimate objects are laughable as long as they remind any human features (Bergson 11). Further, Bergson argues that laughter is also a social act, which can be performed in a group of people.…
