However less desirable characters like Papa from “Farwell to Manzanar”…

What made me select it for this assignment is the haunting sound of the harmonica in one of its key scenes, sheer brilliance in blending the visual and the auditory into one of the most poignant moments in movie history. Once Upon a Time in the West is a 1968 spaghetti western film.…

When we first see the protagonist, they are portrayed as average people living normal lives.

sunglasses with integrated headphones! Aston Martin DB5 from Goldfinger (1964) and Thunderball (1965) Whilst a car is not really a gadget, James Bond’s Aston Martin DB5 certainly should qualify as one. Even though the car has since been rebooted for the new films, there’s nothing quite like the…

Bait thrown, Han's mind slid into the uncertainty of where the shallows ended and deep water took up. Steadfast tenacity clutched Han’s chest, and he grimaced in the face of it. The face of Luke. An acerbic zip of deception watered his tongue. Like that of the gutted planet of Coruscant, Han was no longer secure in himself, as if something had turned his insides out. Disquiet frayed the edges of his weary mind, tugging the seams, loose until the mental rampart he’d sustained for the better…

For example, there have been discussions about which had…

The film’s first scene starts with a mom and her newborn baby. The mom has just been told that both of her…
