Robbie Abraham 5/18/17 The Dark Knight Neo Noir Challenge Commentary on dark and light. Neo-noir, unlike classic noir, does not require darkness to be dark. Instead, the darkness resides in the shadows cast by daylight. Director Christopher Nolan doesn’t rely on the darkness in all his films, but The Dark Knight still heavily relies on ideas about dark and light. We see this in its name (The Dark Knight), but also in the film’s sometimes harsh lighting and in the inversion of what…

Everyone has a little bit of both the hero and the villain in them but, if I were offered the role of the villain or the hero in a movie, I would definitely take the role of the villain. Villains are some of the most complicated creations in cinema so it would be an honor to play one. For me, it is about depth of character and frankly, those tend to be the roles of the villains. The role of the villain is also more challenging, and I’m always up for a challenge. A hero’s motivations are often…

In today’s time, hero’s might have a different significance to others. But in my opinion, I am an old fashioned person, so when someone asks me what I thought a hero was when I was smaller I say that I think about a hero from the olden days. Strong, honorable, dependable, intelligent, with super powers just like spider-man or superman. But now, If someone would happen to ask me one day “who is your hero” or what I think a hero is now I would have to say my father and that a hero for me is a…

The box art for the critically acclaimed fighting video game Injustice: Gods Among Us reveals a dark and grim tone that plagues the entire game. The violent images depicted parallels the main themes and gameplay. Rather than promote the games beautiful story or massive roster of characters, the art glorifies the violence and death that occurs in-game. The game tells a tale following the death of a alternate reality superman’s wife and unborn daughter, the Superman has become a oppressive…

A hero doesn't always fly, run fast, or have super human strength. But all heroes have super powers.

I felt that each video was helpful in its' own way. Personally, the 'What Makes A Hero' video was the most helpful/informative video for me. Basically, it explained the common Hero's journey archetype which takes place in many stories. Essentially, the hero in a story is the archetypal predecessor of all humankind in general. The modern day hero is a culmination our ancestors' experiences over many generations. All societies have similar hero stories not because they coincidentally decided to…

Comic books may have many influences but it has become very clear that Greek mythology is one of the more obvious ones. To some people comparing mythological figures and comic book heroes would be a far stretch, but with a closer look I believe that the two worlds might actually have some resemblance. The purpose of this paper is to examine the similarities between superheroes and mythological figures. I hope to look further into these connections to provide evidence of classic mythological…
