song I chose is not based off of a book, it is based off a screenplay. Which is still a piece of literature. It was written specifically for the 1966 movie, “Django”. The song's title is just “Django”. It was written by Luis Bacalov and performed by Rocky Roberts. Since it was written for a movie, it is not part of an album. It is a very good song that tells the story of a gun-slinging, rogue, ruthless, yet just, cowboy. The screenplay follows the story of Django, a cowboy who run’s into a…

literary point of view of any novel or screenplay is an important characteristic because it gives either adaptation ambience towards the characters or how the story is structured. It also describes the character’s position in relation to the story and his/her outlook in regards to the attitudes and events that revolve around them and supporting characters in the storyline.

Some point in the movie  A dinner party held at the house, attended by the British Inspectorate of Police and Mr Singh, a Sikh friend of the family, erupts over the future of the country. Lenny and her precocious young cousin, hiding under the dinner table, hear Singh denounce the British.  The film is rich with comments from its characters denouncing partition and double-talking local politicians.

I’ve been meaning to catch up with “Ida,” the Polish film that won the best foreign language film Oscar in 2013, for almost three years. With it leaving Netflix in a few days, I decided the time had definitely come for me to see this celebrated movie. After watching its short 82 minutes, I’m glad I saw it, even though I found it underwhelming. “Ida” tells the story of Anna (Agata Trzebuchowska), a teenaged novitiate nun in 1960s Poland who is about to take her vows. Her mother superior (Halina…

me a lot was actually ‘Stuck in the Middle with You’ before Mr. Blonde poured the gasoline all over the cop. “He walked out of the warehouse, opened the trunk, pulled out a large can of gasoline and walked back to the warehouse.” (Reservoir Dogs screenplay 55) Mr. Blonde walked all the way in relaxed dance moves with the pop song which formed a sharp contrast to the bloody torture against the cop. This created limitless artistic effect and we are hard not to respect Tarantino’s talented skill of…

Stuff Matters is a book by Mark Miodownik where he explores the different origins and properties of materials that are in our daily lives.

Polymers, or plastics, are considered one of the six classes of materials that has changed the world. Plastic is held with high status in the material world because of its extensive…

I didn’t realize it before I watched it, but Mrs. Miniver holds a special place in history. Some claim that Winston Churchill said this film did more for the Allied war efforts “than a flotilla of destroyers,” since it helped convince America to join the fight in WWII. And that was the goal of this film all along. It’s essentially propaganda aimed toward convincing America to abandon its isolationist policy. Whether or not this particular piece of propaganda had much effect, it remains a decent…

Dan’s Pizzeria embodies the characteristics of a situation comedy. The overall premise of the story including the background of Dan’s Pizzeria with the exaggerated death of the Dansanzo father entertains the audience with humor. This film is purely “escapist entertainment” meaning it provides the audience with a brief escape from their everyday lives. The audience receives the opportunity to enter the world of Dan’s Pizzeria and experience joy and laughter through this comedic film. Tony and…

Political excerpts that discuss the public opinion is a big one. Has a book or screenplay turned movie ever effected your way of thinking? Oh most definitely!
