Leonard Quart & Albert Auster (2011), they reveal that films have the ability to evoke the mood and tone of a society in a particular era. However, there was a time when a number of historians and social scientists were hesitant about accepting this truism. By films, one means not merely documentaries, which obviously directly capture something of the reality of people’s lives and feelings, but also mainstream Hollywood commercial films. It is not only that these films sometimes convey and…
commerciality than its own theatrical production. With its Broadway priced tickets, private event offers which include very expensive drinks and gift shop they focus on getting your money than actually doing their theater. It gets to such a point where the actors reappear and attempt to sell souvenir programs! The set design doesn’t look like a hotel and makes little sense to the original text. Furthermore the show has staggered arrival times but ironically they make you wait outside and later…
1. Identify the film’s title, director, AND production designer (or art/visual designer). I watched the film Shawshank redemption. It was directed by Frank Darabont, and the production designer was Terence Marsh. 2. What is the focus of this film? Explain using examples from the film. I was undecided whether the focus should be the truth of human nature or the struggle for human dignity, but I think that it should be the struggle for human dignity. I say this because the main character was a…

created confusion in the audience because some actors were not heard or the dialogue did not make sense. In addition, there was not a leading antagonist or conflict throughout the play. It was not made clear what the conflict was until towards the ending of the performance. However, I respect that the actors tried the best of their capacity to end the scene smoothly. In summary, the play was a tremendous example of the high level high school actors can reach. Each and every member of the cast…
to evaluate is “The Green Mile”. In the film a man is wrongly accused for the murders of two young girls. He is then thrown in jail and sentenced to death row. The three areas of criteria that I find are the backbone of this film are the story, the actors, and lastly the setting of the film. The most important aspect of this film for examination is the story of “The Green Mile”. Stephen King (author) and Frank Darabont (director) did an exceptional job when it comes to the story of this film. As…
Priscila Chivalan CART 329 1 November 2017 Commentary #2 Question 1 The Films The Trip (1967) and Taxi Driver (1976) are two films that were created during the time Hollywood was having set backs and during the time that they created new ideas that eventually took them out of the struggle. This was considered Hollywood's fall and rise They are both similar in a way due to the way the movie films were shot. Both of these films were created to allow us to see what the…
Within the 2007 film adaption of Cormac McCarthy’s novel, No Country for Old Men, sheriff Ed Tom Bell shares his perspective and those who pay attention to his thoughtful observations appear unaffected. The Coen brothers, who directed the film, acknowledge that the novel’s title is a representation of the sheriff’s perspective, but in contrast with the novel, the focus of the movie ‘s perspective involves emphasis on multiple character’s viewpoint and actions. To further clarify, the novel also…
The characters in the play Othello by Shakespeare depict different attributes from revenge to love. The behavior of Lago is the subject of analysis of the essay. Lago’s attitude towards women and Othello is appalling. He feels an obligation to serve Othello while also accusing him for having an affair with his wife. In Act one, scene three, Lago believes that Othello has slept with his wife. He states; “it is thought abroad that ‘twixt my sheets/ he has done my office” (1.iii.286). Lago is the…
Aristotle once said, “a tragedy is the moment where the hero comes face to face with his true identity”. In life, every individual is flawed; however one must be able to identify the difference between flaw, and tragic flaw. William Shakespeare is famously known for the concept of the tragic hero, and The Tragedy of Hamlet is no exception. A tragic hero can be defined as a noble character whose fatal flaw leads to their own destruction. In this tragedy of the Elizabethan era, one will come to…
