Jason Schwartzman

Another one of the films I found interested was the narrator’s number eight choice, Jason Schwartzman in Rushmore. Jason Schwartzman was phenomenal in this comedy. This film highlights his on screen personality and charisma. He commands the camera’s attention with his funny personality and charms. According to the book, acting is more than just reading your lines (Prince, 2013), you have to make the audiences feel connected to you and Jason did just that. He added his own charms and charisma to the movie that made it worth watching. Jason’s acting gave the film an electricity and charm that normal people would not be able to provide. Next on my list, that I found interesting is number 6, Edward Norton in Primal Fear. Even though he wasn’t the star of this movie, his acting landed him an Oscar nomination. The actors in the film are not always the stars; some can be cast as supporting actors as Norton was or as extras. In this film, the star role went to Richard Gere, who is also a brilliant actor and one of my favorite. According to the textbook, the difference between a star and the supporting actor in a…

"An eye for an eye makes the whole world blind." As Gandhi shares a brilliant piece of mind, he describes how the world is so wicked and malevolent that it's turning the world "blind". The majority of the population is so focused on vengeance instead of living life to its fullest. Euripides', Medea, relates to the wise man's quote because Medea takes revenge to a whole new aspect and takes an eye for an eye. Or maybe a limb for a broken heart. When Medea was left abandoned and heartbroken by her…
