His character and demeanor changes throughout the film from his initial personality, through his repeating days, and once the repeating days end. While Phil’s journey in the film can be explained in multiple personality theories, Skinner’s personality theory perfectly describes Phil and his eccentric personality. Phil Connors is an anchorman who is pretty…

Gender inequality is something women have always struggled with due to the domination from their male counterparts, however, women are not the only ones affected by this. Taking the workforce of a city as an example, women are indeed deprived of the freedom and opportunities that are given to men in terms of choice of career and salary, however this in turn also affects the city as a whole. Helen Potrebenko’s Taxi! gives many examples of such situations, and in my paper I will prove that…

The Colours of Heroes In the early weeks of March, in my Art Studies 1 class, we were asked to watch a movie entitled “Hero” and write a critical essay on the use of colours, its effect, and perceived meaning. The movie was well made and is different from others. The plot was simple with a twist and each scene was wonderfully made. The combination of the simple settings and vivid colours of the outfits of the characters complemented well and allowed the viewers to focus on the actors more.…

It was a Friday afternoon, and among the attendees, there were 3 staff members and 14 NOVA ambassadors, including myself. We were at a small classroom that invited people to sit close to each other, allowing a closer group interaction. I took a seat right in the middle of the classroom, facing right at the presenter, a school faculty member, with a…

The movie franchise that began with “The Terminator” in 1984 has had its ups and downs. Being the first film of the series, “The Terminator” did not make a lot of money in total given that it had little hype going into it and it co-starred a relative unknown with some German sounding name that it turns out was Austrian. However, considering it only had a budget of $6.4 million and it made $78 million worldwide according to the Wikipedia page about the franchise, the producers were no doubt happy…

anonymity of a few people, without revealing their names most of the time. And if you expect to watch a war film like Saving Private Ryan you will be disappointed. According to the IMDb trivia, Nolan himself has said that he didn’t wish Dunkirk to have the tension he felt when watching Spielberg’s film. Of course, some of Nolan’s themes are still there, like the repetition of time. The film starts in the middle of the action, with an escape scene through the alleys of Dunkirk, and from them on…

We went inside to eat lunch, when we were at the table eating. My cousin Alex asked me to race him after we got done eating. We went outside and lined up our bikes where we were going to race. My mom came outside and told us not to race because someone is going to get hurt, I kinda just shook her off and we raced anyways. At the starting…
