The Shining Essay Question #1 The Shining by acclaimed director Stanley Kubrick was initially released in 1980 to lukewarm reception at best. The public and critics were clearly disappointed that their expectations were not fulfilled, and even the author of the source material, Stephen King, admitted to hating the film for not adhering to his original ideas closely enough. King did not anticipate that Kubrick would throw out so much of the book’s material and replace it with his own ideas, and…

Though primarily known for his novel A Clockwork Orange, Anthony Burgess was accomplished in many literary pursuits. Besides being a novelist he was also a poet, composer, playwright, and a critic. With a literary career that spans over three decades he has published dozens of literary pieces and hundreds of musical composition.

conditioning that “cures” him of this violent nature. In 1971, director Stanley Kubrick adapted the novel into a film under the same title, A Clockwork Orange. Sharing the same theme as the novel, the film addresses the idea that although this character continuously chooses to commit acts of evil he has done so out of his own free will; contrary to when he is conditioned that he no longer has a true choice in what he does. Although Kubrick chose to make minor changes to the original source text,…

statement and elaborating on that is far superior than many unexplained thoughts. Without having a concise thesis, the paper turns out to be scattered, with sparks flying everywhere without a true solution. “The Shining” by Stanley Kubrick is a film that contains several tiny sparks that can be explained upon after further analysis. At first glance, the movie is only about a family whose dad when psycho after being isolated for an extended period of time. When watching "The…

Novelist Stephen King centered on the theme of supremacy characteristic of white males over western native peoples masterfully in his book, The Shining. As a country yearning for new land, a young America stretched its borders into the West. While colonizing, white males believed that they were superior to the native peoples inhabiting the territory, and slaughtered hundreds of them to take over their lands. It’s been believed since those turbulent times in the colonial days of the United…

In the movie “Patch Adams” starring Robin Williams as Hunter “Patch” Adams, was such an eye opening movie to see such as “A Death of One's Own”. Patch Adams was an amazing movie and I am glad to have seen it due to its different viewpoints and uniqueness of the situation Patch Adams is in. It was also interesting because the movie is based on a true story and its hard to believe that with how crazy Patch Adams life seems. I definitely am going to rewatch this movie and show other people with it…

Stephen King’s novels The Shining and It are incredible examples of the exploitation of children in the 20th century horror-gothic genre. As American cultural historian David Skal notes, King’s novels “brim with fantasies of sacrificial children” (1993: 362). In The Shining and It, children play a significant role as victims who are being threatened by terrifying monsters. These monsters take very different forms but are nonetheless horrifying. The presence of the child in King’s novels must be…

The Matrix was really enjoyable to watch, this being the first time that I actually payed attention to the film. I found that during the course of the film, the color scheme, the way in which the shots were composed (both the camera angles and how they framed the subjects), as well as the mise en scène of the shots all worked to give this film a very animated/comic book-esque feeling. What was interesting to me about this was, although it felt animated in a similar way as Do the Right Thing or…
