Ethan Hawke

incest, homosexuality, murder and faithfulness. The film versions produced in 1948, directed by Laurence Olivier, and in 2000, directed by Michael Almereyda, provide two varying insights of this classic writing. The version made in 2000, starring Ethan Hawke, takes on a modern twist of the play, integrating current…

Act III Scene 2 is a pivotal turning point in the play Hamlet. During this scene, Hamlet determines whether Claudius murdered his father by judging his reaction to a play. This play within a play can be interpreted in many different ways. First, the director can choose how to showcase the relationship between Hamlet and Ophelia. In this scene, Hamlet flirts with Ophelia through lying on her lap and telling crude jokes. In my mind, I expect Hamlet’s actions to be playful and show how he has gone…

The Meaning of a Name The Story of My Search What is in a name? People say that a picture is worth a thousand words. I say that a name is worth a thousand words. My question, though, is what are those words? This was my quest, my search. A search that took me farther down the rabbit hole than I had ever intended it to. My search took me through the etymology and mythology of my name. Through the pages of a book, to the deep reaches of the Internet, and all the way to my mother’s spoken…

demonstrate his emotions. In Almereyda’s interpretation, Ethan Hawke uses the same monotone voice throughout the soliloquy, mindlessly walking around not expressing any emotion, not capturing the true mental state Hamlet is in. Branagh illustrates Hamlet’s character more effectively than Almereyda does, in Branagh’s interpretation Hamlet looks wealthy and established as he introduces himself into the scene. He is well dressed, rather than Ethan Hawke’s attire in Almereyda’s interpretation who is…

In what I have to say is possibly one of the worst so-called horror genre films I have seen in recent years, The Purge - set supposedly a decade ahead of today, in United States - is a truly silly idea in that the so-called New Founding Fathers allow everyone in the country, on one night only each year, to give vent to all their pent-up hatreds and frustrations by freely committing any crime they want without fear of prosecution. It seems that, in what has to be the unlikeliest of scenarios,…

Iris Lainez Mr.Ashraf Biology January 9th, 2017 Gattaca The phrase “There’s no gene for the human spirit,” is used in the movie Gattaca in order to convey to the audience that your DNA is not the only thing that defines you. In the movie, Vincent Freeman is known as a genetically inferior or an invalid. On the other hand, his brother is known as genetically perfect or an valid. Even though valids are genetically superior, I believe DNA is not more important in determining whether a person will…

Samanta Soter Mr. Price Biology 5 February, 2015 Genetic Problems The movie GATTACA that was directed by Andrew Niccol, featuring Ethan Hawke, who played Vincent Freeman, Jude Law as Jerome Morrow, and Uma Thurman as Irene, has a lot of information about genetic engineering of the offsprings. In the movie, it creates discrimination among the people who have good genes and bad genes. Vincent Freeman was one of those people, so it kept him from accomplishing his dreams. Once he found a way to…

Introduction In all that is bad and good in a police service, there is a obvious subculture which associated with the majority of agencies. While academic teachings commonly portray police culture as a negative, saturated in cynicism, loyalty above all else, masochism and a “one for all-all for one”(Fuqua, 2001)mentality, is has many positive traits which are often overlooked. Officers require the subculture in order to survive a emotionally taxing and difficult job that few are brave enough to…
