vigilante, self-defense group known as the Autodefensas. Founded in 2013 and headed by Dr. José Manuel Mireles, the Autodefensas were made up of local men in the rural state who shared one common goal: reclamation of the towns that were being run by the Knights Templar, a violent drug cartel that had been terrorizing the state since the beginning of the decade -replacing the cartel formerly in power, La Familia Michoacana (Archibold). The absence of protection from the cartel by the government…
although my decision may be seen as slightly atypical. For example, many people do not take the time to analysis and see how The Dark Knight and The Patriot are a very similar movie. In these movies, the main characters find themselves in a battle against evil, in which they started out solitarily alone, but end up finding themselves fighting united alongside…
I’m sure that everybody has dreamt about being a hero as a child. Growing up, that’s what kids are taught to like- the perfect hero who fights for justice and always wins. Over the last two years, I have been dubbing shows and doing voice acting for YouTube skits and shows, giving me plenty of acting experience. With this experience, I know how much fun acting can be. Unfortunately, I know how boring some roles can be as well. Due to my previous experiences in acting, if I were given the choice…

Knights would worship and express their religion daily by praying, going to church, etc.…
The Riddler seems to suffer from a narcissistic personality disorder, one of the hybrid methodologies of DMS-5 personality disorders. There are very few biological symptoms that The Riddler has other than having a slim frame, but that hardly constitutes a biological symptom (American Psychiatric Association, 2013). His slim build could possibly be due to his high energy, which could be due to his constant anxiety. His psychological symptoms however are high in amounts and all vary on a spectrum…
DC Universe To Heat Up With ‘Batman V Superman’ and ‘Suicide Squad’ DC comics will continue its extended cinematic universe next year with the release of “Batman versus Superman: Dawn of Justice” and “Suicide Squad.” This universe looks to continue with a bang as it establish a world of heroes and villains.

It takes many factors to make a good director: a director must be calm, he must be articulate, and most of all he should be inspiring. However, Christopher Nolan is not simply a good director, he is one of the greatest directors of all time. Not to mention his impeccable writing, his directing expertise is beyond comparison: he skillfully draws the best performances out of the renowned actors in his cast, his imaginative stories can bogle even the most ingenious of minds, and his movies, while…

Robbie Abraham 5/18/17 The Dark Knight Neo Noir Challenge Commentary on dark and light. Neo-noir, unlike classic noir, does not require darkness to be dark. Instead, the darkness resides in the shadows cast by daylight. Director Christopher Nolan doesn’t rely on the darkness in all his films, but The Dark Knight still heavily relies on ideas about dark and light. We see this in its name (The Dark Knight), but also in the film’s sometimes harsh lighting and in the inversion of what…
