Sergio Leone

This is accomplished through his use of tight close ups and characters facial expression. Cinematography is Leone’s strong suit and he best uses it for building anticipation and suspense through silence. The music is integrated for atmospheric effect to show progression in the characters unease. Where dialogue can be utilized to illustrate a character winning the scene, Leone attempts to avoid dialogue whenever possible. Keeping it simple Leone sticks to tight close ups and blocking to show characters power. In The Good The Bad & The Ugly the three main characters have very distinct glares that inform the viewer of their character. Blondie, The Good has a poker face very focused and hard to read exemplifying his sheer confidence in controlling any given situation. Tuco, The Ugly also called the Rat by Blondie has a look like rat with his shifty eyes giving different characters short glances that mask his intention while also making his seem suspicious. Finally, Angel Eyes, The Bad who has a look similar to a snake with his eyes pointing directly at his target before a…

To understand westerns, knowing the basic themes and elements would be most helpful. The four main themes of a western include: Man vs. Nature, Good vs. Evil, East meets West and…

of violence in the war against savagery” (Cawelti 144). Through the Western America was establishing that brutality was necessary for reimagining the American ideal. Michael Coyne echoed the same observation, “the Western must bear its share of responsibility for the romanticization of the gun culture and the glamorization of violence” (Coyne 120). Time and events would morph film to the ideals of a increased political and social cultural environment which included brutality. American…

Sergio Marchionne had a tall order when he came onboard at Chrysler. Obviously his methods have been successful when I review the recent financial records of the company (FCA Group, 2015).

However, personally, I tend to be more of a creative type, all about the employees style of manager. I enjoy thinking outside of the box and being innovative in technique as well as process. Mostly, I…
