Mel Ferrer

She traveled to many starving towns in Africa, helping UNICEF aid people in need. Sean Hepburn Ferrer, Audrey’s first son and author of Audrey Hepburn, an Elegant Spirit, recalls Audrey coming home absolutely infuriated with society. She wanted everyone to feel the same need to help that she did. Audrey Hepburn often spoke at events of her volunteering with UNICEF. In one her speeches, she stated “Your one percent is an example of one hundred percent but all together a beautiful example to us of love and caring. Together, there is nothing we cannot do.” Audrey’s heart was very big and having to see the conditions people were living in everyday and nothing being done filled her with an overwhelming sadness that dominated her life. She felt what she was doing was not enough, as one sometimes feels when encountering something heartbreaking;…

She said it was “love at first sight”, but after having her wedding dress fitted and the wedding date set, she called the off the engagement. She decided the marriage would not work due to the demands of his career that would require him to be gone most of the time. Audrey did, however, marry twice. In 1954, she married actor Mel Ferrer. In 1960, they had a son named Luca. Their marriage lasted 14 years. During the later years of their marriage, Ferrer was rumored to have had a girlfriend, while…

Shakespeare 's famous play Hamlet. Since 1900, there have been over fifty films of this play have been made, and all have been unique in their own way. The 1990 version of Hamlet, starring Mel Gibson, is one of the more recent and popular…

believe the term is known as ‘white-washing’. An excuse for white-washing in films by their producers and directors other than the Charles Bunnett, is that the audience will relate more with a white cast. Those excuses seem to puzzle me a lot especially since history have proved against them. One example is Aloha (2015), the films cast Emma Stone as the female lead (Allison Ng) who is meant to be Chinese and Hawaii decent plus the casting of Caucasians as majority residents of Hawaii despite…

Throughout the years the “Passion of the Christ” movies have been used to tell the story about Christ’s death and resurrection. Then in 2004 Mel Gibson made his version of the movie and as I like to say brought it in to the 21st century with updated graphics, violence, and blood. The combination of images, faith, and history this film truly was like no other Passion of Christ movie ever done. The Passion of the Christ is a serious and deep piece of cinematography, it not just show us how much…

Hamlet the Play versus Hamlet the Movie The movie Hamlet and the play have many noticeable differences. The Hamlet starring Mel Gibson added and cut scenes and lines from the play. The director most likely did this so that viewers could understand Hamlet better. Overall, the movie kept main themes and the plot however multiple noticeable changes were made.

For example, when William got captured he was brave as he stood up to the judge. The judge asked William, "Confess and you may receive a quick death. Deny and you must be purified with pain" (Braveheart 2:30:46). William had an opportunity to confess and pledge allegiance to the king but he refused. William said to the judge, "Never in my whole life, did I swear allegiance to him" (Braveheart 2:30:34). If William pledged to the king, his barbaric acts would have been for nothing. Wallace…

The song “Better Than This” is performed by my favorite country artist, Hunter Hayes. The song is about how Hunter knew he was born to do something great, and he takes action to pursue his dream in music. He talks about the complications he went through, and he knows it will all turn out in the end. This song taught me that chasing your dream is not a clear and easy path; you have to be able to stand up to the complications “Better Than This” is mostly made up of approximate rhymes, like born…
