In the classical Hollywood area and beyond there is a clear and obvious depiction of the male gaze in film and it has become particularly synonymous with the work of Alfred Hitchcock, most notably in his 1958 film Vertigo. In many of Hitchcock’s films the male gaze is not only evident but is what contributes largely to the storyline. It is used to highlight the importance of the men and objectify woman to only be seen as an object of male desire. This is successfully done in Vertigo through…

Sexism and the Crucible The Technology era glorifies all unethical situations. Shootings, rape, kidnappings, and cheating seem to be all over the media today. However, they do not focus on what actually happened, but instead on who is the victim and who is the villain. Has sexism changed since 1692 and what beliefs about it stayed the same? Adultery, slut-shaming are examples of how sexism still prevails as an issue that women must face, however, the social effect today is still worse for women…

From the films we watched this semester Vertigo and Bicycle Thieves Vertigo somehow seems to transcend these concerns and instead offers a compelling psycho-drama that has complex layers of meaning and employs carefully crafted film language to present a narrative that aligns the audience so completely with the protagonist.Perhaps the simplest application of this idea is to suggest that Scottie represents us, the audience, the spectator and the constructed version of Madeleine represents the…

of old, [Jon] Stewart and [Stephen] Colbert – politically marginalized with their “’fake news’” formats – criticize the ruling administration in a manner that is humorous and therefore non-threatening while also insightful and brutally honest” (Julia Fox, 2011). For years, Stewart and Colbert have used their “fake news” programs on Comedy Central to shed light on important political issues and governmental missteps to viewers who shy away from traditional journalism sources.

Jon Stewart is a comedian who worked on The Daily Show, which recently ended, and others. In the Daily Show, a lot of work, research, and other things had to be done before the show aired each night. That required a whole team to help with the many tasks. Jon Stewart appears to be a nice and humorous person on the television, but he is not the same towards his writers and other staff. He has a low temper, and sometimes takes it out on them. “A staffer recalls the time when Stewart’s temper got…

As Alfred Hitchcock’s film Rear Window has been out since 1954, there have been many reviews and speculations about the film as a whole. The reviews are both positive and negative, some going in depth about the plotline and others giving the basics of the plotline as a reason for their opinion. This film is one that has a very good story, but seemingly questionable ethics and standards. In 1983, Vincent Canby wrote a review about Rear Window for the New York Times. He praised the movie that was…

Martha Stewart an American businesswoman, writer, former fashion model, and television personality star; in the early 2000’s Martha Stewart was convicted of charges related to the ImClone insider trading affair and was sentenced to prison. Even though Martha Stewart was not a member of the biotech company ImClone, I believe the charges that were proposed and set in the case are fair and justified, because Martha acted upon a tip from her broker, and then after she lied to investigators about why…
