Sounds, visuals and colors became enhanced as a way to increase the discomfort perception in space. Kubrick displaces his he music makes space more comfortable to observe in Star Wars while…
King Lear by the time of his death at the play’s finale is an entirely different character from who he was at the play’s beginning.
