and sensitivity for humanity, and the ability to make one truly feel animated and unrestricted even if they have physical limitations, unlike the narrator. The narrator's main problem is that he is disconnected from his own life. However, this disconnection doesn’t overlook a cohabitating marriage; he has different views then his wife, and voices his opinion about her emotional involvements with a specific glibness. Similarly, he appears disapproving of her interest in writing poetry. The…
I do not have a particular stance for or against Calexit, but I am open to considering the movement. I both agree and disagree with Dave Marin’s opinion that California has a better opportunity to start towards the path of secession. Our Constitution, by his explanation, seems to dictate that we can secede, but I see a possibility for another civil war. If this situation comes to a civil war, I do not see California winning by a landslide, unless the state receives aid from Washington and Oregon…
“Nothing, in this film, symbolizes anything” (Buñuel). Both Dali and Buñuel strived to have no image or idea in the film, Un Chien Andalou, have any logical or rational explanation. However, when you break up what Buñuel says you can argue that “nothing” stands for all the images and ideas in the film that to one represent nothing logical or rational, and these images can “symbolize anything” to the individual. When making this film, Buñuel’s intentions were to astound and offend the bourgeois…
Throughout the several hundred years after slavery, there has been a continued rift or disconnection between African Americans and Africans.

Compared to…

After seeing the movie Son of Saul, which was written and directed by László Nemes, Clara Royer, I found it to portray very moving themes, concepts, and ideas that were present throughout the movie; the movie itself was very metaphorical in terms of its general theme. Son of Saul takes place primarily in, one could presume, a Nazi concentration camp during World War II in Germany. Being that Son of Saul was set in an Nazi concentration camp, one could believe that the writers felt it was needed…

The way people act toward each other can cause betrayal to play a huge role in their…
