More contradictions between "Hamlet" and "King Lear", whereas "King Lear" has consistently honest or moral characters, "Hamlet" appears to have conflicting and compromised characters. Whereas "King Lear" is a clear and happy moral story, "Hamlet" appears to be vague and disturbing. Whereas "King Lear" has Christian morals and values, "Hamlet" has modernist and enlightened philosophies. In other way, they are complementary, as "King Lear" is clear and compelling, the characters consistently develop, the motives are clear, and the morals are Christian, while "Hamlet" is intentionally the opposite. Edgar hints that he is not crazy, Cordelia’s death looks like a suicide, and Kent assumes disguise to parallel Hamlet and Ophelia’s insanity. In addition, Lear and Gloucester share blindness to the good characters, who help and preserve them throughout the story, while in "Hamlet" we share blindness with the characters to the true and full story. "Hamlet" is a post-Christian environment about a student questioning reality whereas Lear is a pre-Christian society about a king without a reality. Perhaps Hamlet is raising question to a world that is being lost, so that Lear, whose world is lost, can finally answer it. "Hamlet" is about a dying society abandoning life whereas "King Lear" is about a dead society achieving life. That is why Lear is repentant while Claudius is not; why Edgar refuses suicide while Hamlet considers it; and Cordelia forgives when Ophelia accuses. Hamlet is…

Millionaire'' and many other popular television programs yesterday as a battle between the country's two biggest media companies, Time Warner and Walt Disney, became a bitter public confrontation. The dispute involves how much Time Warner should pay Disney for carrying its cable channels. But it also touches on larger issues dealing with the distribution of news and entertainment programming, including the longstanding antipathy between the cable and broadcast industry, the growing competition…

budgeting and the possible consequences of original thinking in searching for potential alliances. A Successful Relationship The Walt Disney Company and Hewlett-Packard (HP) partnership have been in effect since 1937 because Walt Disney himself approached Bill Hewlett and David Packard for “a customized oscillator” to buy (Kontzer, 2003). It is almost 80 years later, and the two businesses partnership is still strong today as they both continue on their journey to make improvements on Disney’s…

In most cases, Americans love a true underdog story. Movies that have a David vs Goliath-like plot, that culminates in a major battle that results in David overcoming all odds and concurring the Goliath-like antagonist. But the reality for most of history is that of tragedy and no heroic ending. This is the case the Lakota of the Pine Ridge Indian Agency fell victim to in the winter of 1890 when approximately 500 soldiers came to stop a ceremony later called the Ghost Dance. The horrifying…

major social commotions were going on: the Great Depression and World War II. Before sound came about, most silent films were accompanied ranging from a piano/organ to a full orchestra. Inventors tried joining images to reproduce sound through phonograph records, but it was too difficult to synchronize the sound due to the inadequacy of loudspeakers for theater auditoriums. Finally in 1927, the Warner Brothers released The Jazz Singer which was the beginning of synchronizing sound. Though sound…

The studio system consisted of a small number of major studios (Paramount, Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer, Warner Bros, 20th Century Fox and RKO) during the first decade of the 20th Century. The studio system, according to Barsham and Monahan 5th Edition the classical Hollywood studio system the actors’ box office appeal depended on their ability to project a screen image that audiences would love and aspire to look like. These actors were then signed to a studio which allowed them the opportunity to have…

colour. This is not the exact truth. Blackface and similar forms of racial representation is when racist stereotypes are enforced by any person portraying someone of said ethnicity/culture (Blackface!). Nonetheless, when this issue occurred in the early nineteenth century many people actually praised the fact that minorities were being included in the film industry. It was surprising to see POC represented at all (Scherker). Countless actors of colour have dealt with these issues throughout…

The Dark Night trilogy set the gold standard for the characters Batman, and the Joker. Every casual movie goer or critic would tell you that the most recent portrayal of each of these characters isn’t as good as the Dark Night Trilogy characters. With the flop of Man of Steel, and Batman vs. Super Man, Warner Brothers, the company making DC films, wanted to take a lot of control away from directors, and unfortunately the first movie to take such directions was 2016’s “Suicide Squad” by David…

of disobedience. The next few books talk about the quest for the “Promised Land”. It starts with the book of Joshua where the holy war was engaged. The Israel’s need for continuing faith to the one true God was a big overall emphasis. Judges showed God’s constant rescue of his people despite their lack of keeping covenant with him. The book of Ruth takes you through the story of the loyalty to God that was found through Judges. Life in a place that REMAINED loyal to God during the time of the…

mother cries out not to kill her son and to give him to the other woman. Solomon knows this is the real mother because she would rather give her son away than kill him. However the fake mom is fine with keeping half a dead son. The Baby in this story is the kingdom. Jeroboam is the fake mother in the story because he accepted a divided kingdom.Moses and David represent the real mom who doesn’t accept half a child. Jeroboam should have refused the kingdom just like Moses and David did. Solomon’s…
