    “Greek myth is so much a part of the fabric of our consciousness, of our unconscious really, that we scarcely notice” (Foster, 1). When thinking the word myth, our minds automatically think of the distant Greek and Roman myths fabricated on the shores of the Mediterranean thousands of years ago.

Italy was perhaps one of the most important regions of the time due to its beauty and grandeur. The top city-states during the Renaissance included Florence, Milan, and Venice. In an effort to understand how the Renaissance period…

    our empirical senses when discerning reality from illusion. Nolan achieves this via the fabrication of dreams and memories; a concept that is heavily reliant on visualisation.

A dimension that has not been clarified in the two Borges´ poems to which reference was made before appears here in this story. As a consequence of…

Inception is mainly about the demons story of the character which was played by Leonardo DiCaprio. It is a really simple and clear film that can be…
