Claustrophobia

Writers Statement: For the Writing Publication task, I decided to do a film review on the recently released film Split as I enjoyed watching the message of the movie unfold through the plot twists. My purpose for the film review was to discuss the aspects of the film that stood out to me and the parts that I would assume people who watch horror would enjoy. I decided to use the subtitle The Power of Abuse as it informs the reader of the major theme that is found within the film. This theme is…

Dorian Gray lives alone in a mansion with a “secret room” that would “keep for him the curious secret of his life and hide his soul from the eyes of men.” (Wilde 124). The mystery of this abandoned room that “holds his soul” builds a sense of claustrophobia and entrapment.

Agoraphobia is the fear of open spaces. It is a very common phobia. Many people think that agoraphobia means a fear of public spaces and open spaces, but this is just part of it. With agoraphobia you may have the fear of entering shops, crowds, public spaces, travelling in trains planes or buses. You may also fear being on a bridge or elevator, being in a movie theater or restaurant where there is no easy escape. All these stem from one fear- a fear of being in a place where help is not…

In much of her work, Mary Cassatt explores the politics of gender and ‘the gaze.’ Born in Philadelphia to a wealthy family, Cassatt settled in Paris in 1866 and became actively involved with the Impressionist movement, finding inspiration in the works of Manet and Degas. However, during this time equality between men and women was seemingly absent: whilst men were encouraged to pursue a career, women were often confined to domestic life, deprived of many personal and social freedoms. By choosing…

Mid Fall 2012 The plane ride here was a long one. The droning engines of the C-17 went on for hours and pierced through my earplugs. I could only feel overwhelmed and excited by what was happening. I was finally getting sent overseas after four long years of basic training. A few nervous thoughts had passed my mind about what could happen, but was soon drowned out by the engines. The passenger section of the C-17 was nothing like a civilian aircraft. A few rows of seats with our gear packed in…

Similarly, in Jane Austen’s Pride and Prejudice, Elizabeth Bennet is the most intellectual among her sisters and she enjoys walking, even alone, both of which oppose the standards for a woman in Georgian society. Elizabeth…

background. Polanski wanted to make a simple film about opposing characters forced to confront one another, about establishment battling anti-establishment in an intimate, airtight setting. His personality inhabits every aspect, from investigations of claustrophobia and opposing personalities to clever framing on a cramped boat set. And through his originality and skill, Polanski overcomes an impossible shooting location and the obvious minimalism of the story to construct a tale defined by the…
