order, respectively. There was also a blind musician—the sole witness to everyone’s circumstances, ironic as it may sound, seated at the bench of the waiting shed. He had a guitar by his lap, and was silently strumming it; though, at times when the actors would signal for a key or a note, he was more than willing to play. Beauty Regina is beautiful, and she knows it. Unapologetically proud of her assets and talents, this girl was not afraid to show-off what she has got. Calling her an airhead…

and the public persona of the actor, especially since these distinct and overlapping identities are both exposed and concealed at different moments throughout the film (Shingler, 121). For Edgar Morin (27), “The star is incarnated in the characters of his or her films but also transcends them. Moreover, these characters transcend the star” (Shingler, 124). With that being said, Morin believes that “the star cannot appear when this reciprocal interpretation of actor and hero fails to occur, for…

Halloween is a great opportunity to make anything believable, because the world becomes a stage, and everyone has a chance to become their favorite superhero or character. Halloween is awesome because it's a time of year when people can drop their judgmental attitudes and accept one another as they are. A case in point is a Halloween dance party just like the famous Star Wars "scene in a bar" where Chewy and Han Solo find creatures and aliens of all different species laughing and drinking and…

Another key difference between Chekhov and Brecht is evident in the techniques implemented in their work. As previously stated, Brecht’s work features the use of Verfremdungseffekt or the V-effect in order to distance the audience so that ‘every spectator is enabled to become a participant’ (Benjamin, 1996, 68) as they take an active role in critically analysing the onstage action. Chekhov, however, adopts a different approach, as his plays immerse the audience in that particular world and…

According to Mee and Dowling (2003), films are cultural products which represent places and their people, and therefore bring a perception of the world.

My big fat Greek wedding is a Canadian-American romantic comedy film directed by Joel Zwick,…

At the beginning of the play, Sheila Birling is shown to be very energetic and enthusiastic about life. The opening stage directions play an important role in presenting the character before she changes dramatically. She is described as "a pretty girl in her early twenties, very pleased with life and rather excited." Priestley has decided to describe her as a ‘girl’ because it represents the immaturity of her character as seen through Act 1. Immaturity is a key theme at the start of the play;…

Samantha Lopez Vrooman Film Studies November 2, 2014 Jules and Jim Film Analysis Trying to comprehend this film was hard because to read the subtitles and trying to look at the scene of where the characters were at felt like the audience had to choose which one was important, the conversation between the characters or scenes of where the characters were at to make the plot. This understanding between the scenes and the words connect with the film of Catherine choosing between two men. This…

Film is one of the most creative form of art that exists, and it is huge in this generation. The ultimate image we see in a movie frame comes from a trail of artistic decisions that had to be made by the director to give meaning to the story. For this paper, the opening scene of Christopher Nolan’s The Dark Knight Rises will be analysed. The paper has the following order: an explanation of what needs to be considered to analyse a movie, a brief explanation of the important elements of…

we don’t love the actor who plays our favourite character, we might not be able to enjoy a film. This paper suggests that the use of well-established Disney characters in the 1983 adaptation of A Christmas Carol, “Mickeys’ Christmas Carol” makes it viable for the novelette to be condensed to a 25 min short film. It further argues that the appropriateness of certain casts is dependent on the shortness of the video. It also establishes that the existence of a backstory for each actor in the movie…

Leonard Quart & Albert Auster (2011), they reveal that films have the ability to evoke the mood and tone of a society in a particular era. However, there was a time when a number of historians and social scientists were hesitant about accepting this truism. By films, one means not merely documentaries, which obviously directly capture something of the reality of people’s lives and feelings, but also mainstream Hollywood commercial films.
