Midnight

because life seems so much easier is a situation many find themselves daydreaming about. In movies, directors take the audience on a journey of a city. But the most realistic depiction of the city isn’t always the one that’s shown. In Woody Allen’s Midnight in Paris, Paris, France, is romanticized by the main character, Gil Pender, who fails to look at Paris from a realistic point of view, because he is unsatisfied in his life. Yearning for another era or place is pointless because every city…

In his book Midnight in Mexico, Alfredo Corchado chronicles a major death threat he has had pinned against him as a reporter in Mexico documenting the truth about cartel violence. Throughout the book, Corchado addresses how the citizens of Mexico react to him as an American reporter, their knowledge of the cartel violence, and what their hopes for the future of Mexico are.

the tides of the city sweep him under. Woody Allen put Gil in the situation where he could slip between time periods, which leads Gil to end the life he once had, as his time in the past gives him confidence and wisdom. The indie movie of 2011, A Midnight in Paris, romanticizes the city of Paris and how grand it used to be. Luhrmann’s The Great Gatsby (2013) may be swanky and wild, but ultimately calls out the corruption that plagued the past. Effectively, both directors create historically…

The two films, Midnight in Paris and The Great Gatsby, are effective to the novel because their characters parallel each other and they have similar concepts in both stories.

In the movie, it has some real scenes that would have happened when it played out in anyone’s head and made it come to life. To make a book into a movie, it is not always accurate and not as straightforward to how it plays out…

Midnight Special auditions were in the late August of 2016, and the pressure was monumental. The people who made it into Midnight Special were the best of all singers in the school. Therefore, I saw these auditions as a way to prove to myself and others of my talent for singing. I thought of the auditions as a self-discovery, but ended up ripping my soul out-- for a while. My thoughts varied in the spectrum from moderate confidence to torturous worry and fear. The most prominent fear I was…
