Flashing light

mental breakdown and to emotionally crack under the pressure. He would always feel the need to be in or around water so he could mentally cleanse himself and try to forget. The film began when David is running the streets in the pouring rain, he then stops at a restaurant Moby’s. Hicks used this as the introduction to the film to give us a view into David's life and also him at the lowest point of his life. Hicks uses David's speech pattern to show how hard it really is for David and also by lighting, music and sounds. David is looking in to Moby’s from the outside looking in,this made me think about his life and how he's always felt. There is a blue filter on him, with red flashing lights. To me the blue tells me that he may be depressed and how David's life really is, and the red flashing light makes me think about how urgent this scene and it's trying to show us, as in trying to put us in the scene seeing and feeling what David is feeling about. I heard rain through this scene, which is frequent throughout the film. The water motif was used as a cleanser for David, when David was in the the Helfgott’s bath tub just after he was told he could not attend the music school in America, as the scene begins it was a close up on the tap dripping, kind of flowing in slow motion. As you notice the camera zooms out which gives you full few of the bathroom, i noticed it was dark and looked quite cold, as is the rest of the house. In this scene Hicks uses the shadow over…

Have you ever heard the saying, “Always look both ways before crossing the street?” The same goes for as if you were at a railroad crossing; you always need to look both ways before going across the train tracks. But there is more to it than just looking both ways. When you approach a railroad crossing you need to be behind the yellow line or at least 15 to 50 feet from the nearest rail. Anytime you see lights flashing or the gate is lowered you must come to a complete stop until the gate is up…

The alleys were eerie in the late November nights, barely lit by a single streetlight that only seemed to light up a single 6ft space. Now, there were no street lights at all, and barely anything to call an alleyway. Buildings were burnt, whole sides taken out, and the buildings gutted, leaving nothing but rusted metal and scrap pieces of paper. Boots pattered along the abandoned sidewalk with stern purpose. From their shoes to their heads they were covered with clothing, keeping the harsh winds…

towards the source. I came to a hill. Looking up, I saw lights. And the movement of people breaking up those lights, people! Maybe I actually found my way back. I started the climb back up the hill. Slipping occasionally on the patches of wet leaves on mud, I leave my own trail of crunched leaves, and blood. I got to a point where I could stabilize myself, on a tree that is near the top of the slope, and I looked at the house that stood before me. It had a sliding door on a patio, two stories,…

Colors, flashing bright lights, obscured my vision. I was still staggering to get away. Those eyes, crushing that thing deep inside me. And then it was gone. Shaking, tears streaming down my face, I fell into water. I couldn't move, couldn't save myself. I was going to die. Without any part of me moving, I was lifted from the water. Gasping as I was held in midair, a voice said, "I have and shall save you, do not fear." And then I was dropped. Waking up next to a cave which is now my home, I…

However, sometimes a light will rarely stop instantly. I watch as a motor vehicle slides in the rain into a pole. An audible crunch is produced and the lights stop dead in their tracks. The three shadows stand from the couch to inspect the outdoors and then soon walk out the door. From my simple shelf I watch as they walk to the car and remove a person from the frozen car. Sirens begin to blare and flashing lights replace darkness. The driver is moved into a different vehicle and driven off…

Being raised in a strict four person family, I have always been told what to do, what not to do, and to not stray from the right path. “Focus on your future, Bethany,” my mom would always tell me, and so I did. Focusing constantly on grades and schoolwork, I dared myself to make time for a social life, and instead, I became quiet and shy. I remained shy to the public for years until one traumatic day during my seventh grade year. This particular experience single handedly changed my future by…

The princesses right arm rested on the edge of the balcony in front of her. She raised her hand and made a slight , quick movement toward the right. No one but her lover saw her. Every eye but his was fixed on the man in the arena. He turned, and with a firm and rapid step, he walked across the arena. Every heart stopped beating, every breath was held, every eye was fixed upon the man. Without the slightest hesitation, he went for the door on the right and right before in a flash he was gone.…
