Synopsis:
The new Russian horror movie “The Bride” from the director of “Estate 18” and “The Queen of Spades: The Black Ritual” unravels the terrible traditions and rituals that used to be popular in the 19th century, but, as it turns out, are not completely forgotten in our days. The main character Nastya travels with her beloved Ivan to his hometown to meet his family. The girl is confident that nothing can mar her happiness, but

It was as if she were becoming “dead” for her own family and her former life. There were many beliefs connected, for example, with the bride’s death during the wedding, when she was considered most vulnerable to the Netherworld. Deceased brides turned into some demonic entities. We based the plot of our story on those beliefs and consulted some researchers in this field,” says the producer Vladislav …show more content…
To be able to authentically depict the two eras, the crew went to the Stroganov Estate near Moscow, where they managed to combine the interiors remaining from the times of the Russian nobility with gloomy landscapes.

“Of course, we wanted a bigger and roomier building for our filming needs. The number of the rooms and their size weren’t perfect, so we had to make some changes. Additionally, we needed to do some redecoration for the era we needed to film, so we basically renovated the entire mansion. During the Soviet era, it was turned into a hotel, which took its toll on the floors and walls. We put the building back into shape, renovated it, and then “aged” it a little. Another part of the filming took place in the adjacent park,” says the movie’s director.

The main character — the bride who is about to become a part of some strange rituals — is played by a young actress Victoria Agalakova, which is her debut as a lead in a feature film. The part of her beloved went to Vyacheslav Chepurchenko known by his role in Vadim Perelman’s TV series “Infidelities”. The movie also features Alexandra Rebenok, Igor Khripunov, Lada Churovskaya and Victor

    Depictions of Traditional Women in Fascism Unlike many fascism films barely illustrate about the female (Rentschler 15), both the Italian historical film 1860 directed by Alessandro and the German melodramatic feature film La Habanera directed by Detlev Sierck are united by their portraits of traditional women like Carmeniddu’s wife, Gesuzza in 1860, and Astrée in La Habanera. These two films depict the women’s images in two forms. First, both 1860 and La Habanera directly portray the women as the family keepers. Second, both the Italian film and the German film use the set designs to reflect the females’ feelings.…

    I watched Fatal Attraction with a friend and I said to him "that's what you get when you just want some fun for the weekend". Although going with Alex was a decision Dan made it was very unfortunate that the woman he had an affair with was extremly crazy. I doubt that Alex got pregnen, if she was obssesed with Dan she could have made everything up. I don't belive Dan seen as a hero at the end of the movie because it has his wife the one that had the last shot, literally in the theatrical ending and figuratevly in the orginal ending.…

    It was effective to use humor in all of the stories but only appropriate in Crane's "The Bride Comes to Yellow Sky". In Faulkner's "A Rose for Emily" an old widow (Emily) dies and the town’s people learn horrible revelations of what Emily did. Faulkner uses humor to describe the unusual way she killed her boyfriend but kept his corpse so she could be with him. The dark form of humor in this story was not appropriate because loving a corpse who you killed is disgusting. Despite being inappropriate, the humor was effective because it matched well with the dark tone of the story.…

    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…

    “The whole is greater than the sum of its parts” (Aristotle, n.d.). Every aspect in life where a team is implemented needs two things in order to run efficiently: awareness of one’s own and others abilities and roles, and effectively collaborating with each other despite any differences; the practice of medicine, in any field, is no exception. The purpose of this paper is to reflect on a common media portrayal of nurses, in this case I will reflect on how nurses are seen as a lesser profession in medicine when compared to being a medical doctor, and I will compare it with the actuality of the nursing profession.

It’s not like any other, it’s a satire/ parody fairy tale because it creates an exaggerated story based on traditional fairy tales. The superhuman characters of Westley, Inigo, Fezzik, and Vizzini are created to put the story on a grand scale. Each of these characters plus many more posses powers that normal people do not have. This movie shows good versus evil, hero versus villain, while the watcher figures out who is who.…
