The use…

The Schindler’s List opens up with a close up of hands lighting a pair of Shabbat (Sabbath) candles, followed by the sound of a Hebrew prayer blessing the candles it sounds similar to the call to prayer for Muslims minus the embellished throaty notes. The wisp of dying flames fades into the next scene, now in black and white and becomes a plume of smoke from a steam engine. A folding table is setup on the train platform where a single family registers as Jews. The single table becomes many…

Vertigo is a sensation of whirling and loss of balance, associated particularly with looking down from a great height. This feeling translates to the 1958 movie directed by Alfred Hitchcock titled Vertigo, which is based on the novel “D’entre Les Morts” by Pierre Boileau and Thomas Narcejac. The film is a romantic story of obsession, manipulation, and fear. In the film, a detective is forced to retire after his acrophobia, fear of heights, and accompanying vertigo causes the death of a fellow…

When we hear the name “Genghis Khan”, we tend to think of a merciless, brutal barbarian who raped and pillaged his way across Asia and Europe in the 12th and 13th centuries. We wouldn’t be entirely wrong to think of him that way, but there’s a softer, more diplomatic side to him that is often forgotten. Above all, Genghis Khan was a fair and honorable ruler. From his rise, to the height of his power, he stayed true to his own belief system and never allowed it to be compromised. He was…

think of children getting abducted and sometimes even sold by their own parents in third world countries. We think men in Cambodia paying a large sum of money for virgin girls. Some of us might think back to the 2008 blockbuster “Taken” starring Liam Neeson, and the horrors we saw there, from the brothel in France to the prostitutes being sedated with narcotics through an IV so they would be complacent when they had a client. Unfortunately, many of these common beliefs are accurate.…

and the Emperor, welfare and televised sports to “bread and circuses” and illegal immigrants to barbarian hordes. In addition, Murphy points out that American pop culture is saturated with references to the Roman Empire. In the book it states “Liam Neeson, the villain of Batman Begins, cites Roman Precedent to justify his destruction of Gotham”. Furthermore, Cullen specifies the relative sameness to both the Roman military power, global reach, and fragile borders and that of the United States.…

The Schindler’s List is Steven Spielberg’s award-winning film, which illustrates the profoundly nightmarish Holocaust. It recreates a dark, frightening period during World War II, when Nazi-occupied Kraków first dispossessed Jews of their businesses and homes, then forced them into ghettos and labor camps in Plaszów and finally resettled in concentration camps for execution. It is quite terrifying to think how far the Nazis were able to go with their murderous ideology. Which is the primary…
