Jesus approaches the blind beggar and rubs mud over the man’s eyes. When the man washes the mud off of his face, he is able to see. After sharing that story, Matt asked the woman if she would like to accept Jesus into her heart. She agreed and…

suggested by David Bordwell’s analysis of film narrative” (17). The lack of a sophisticated narrative and the extremely patriotic theme are only some evident elements that do not have a deep connotation. Mittell brings to the table an excellent point when he compares narrative complexity from a show’s difficulty. Another aspect that has damaged the show’s credibility is the accusations it has received for being biased. The show is being blamed for not only seeing one side of the story but also…

As the era has advanced distinctive types of media, different mediums have been presented to the populace: stories, sonnets, films and so forth. Every type of media has its own particular different importance. Prior to the introduction of motion picture making, TV, writing had been a sufficient wellspring of stimulation. As innovation has advanced, writing can be viewed as motion pictures. Norwegian Wood was written by Haruki Murakami in 1987 and transformed into a film in 2010. The story…

Short Essay: After Dark Haruki Murakami tests the boundaries between everyday Tokyo reality and a surreal realm in After Dark. The book follows two sisters who are each present in different realities. In this novel, Murakami uses sleep as a symbol of disengagement and disassociation from the world. The plot bounces between many different locations, but centralizes around Eri’s bedroom and the love hotel, Alphaville. Takahashi discloses to Mari later in the book that his original business of…

The Blind Assassin is a layered, multi genre story created by Margaret Atwood set in Port Ticonderoga, Canada throughout the 20th century.

Sean Baker first came onto my radar with 2015's Tangerine, the unique and moving story of a transgender girl searching on Christmas Eve for the pimp who broke her heart. Oh, and it was also shot almost entirely on an iPhone 5s. This made Baker a must-watch director for me.

Not much more detail than that is known other than the film also stars Willem Dafoe in what critics…

It seems an unfair view to expect a movie about a book to be exactly the same down to every single detail. Communities of fans will always find something wrong with a story, for it has “failed” to match expectation. Books are a place where someone can be dragged into the story and forget about everything else for a short while.
