The Final Scene

harmful stereotypes are clearly perpetuated. For example, Feathers’ final scene affirms her status as an object of the male gaze, with her revealing lingerie signalling that she should ultimately be viewed as a physical object, irrespective of any intellect or emotional complexity that she may have previously demonstrated. As a point of comparison, Vienna is refreshingly non-sexualised in Johnny Guitar, as illustrated by a scene in which she must change her clothes for practical reasons when…

Only when Clyde’s brother is dying, fenced around by the police, zooms the camera closer from a high angle at 1:23:14. Again, the revealing and heinous final scene of Bonnie and Clyde, which depicts the well-known fate of the couple, still offers a twist for the spectator. It is a trap set up for them by the hands of the law. By the end of the scene, the couple will have shot several times within moments savagely (1:44:31-1:45:17) – despite its initial harmonic…

just one single scene. Macbeth’s scene two in act four is arguably the most pivotal scene within the whole play. Shakespeare was able to incorporate almost every theme of the whole play in one scene, even if just mentioned briefly. It is in this scene which Shakespeare’s audience realizes how bad Macbeth has gotten and how corrupt his thinking is. Pathetic could be another way to describe this scene because the audience is forced to have pity for Lady Macduff as she says her final words which,…

events of its past helped to shape its present. Lone Star is a story told through a variation of the Classical Hollywood Narrative (CHN) with a focus on the complexity of human interaction and its impact across generations. The style of the opening scene functions to establish referential meaning for the viewer. As the camera pans across the rocky expanse of the desert, made green by pear cactus and sage, the image is accompanied by the sound…

Like the play, the central focus of the film is love versus hatred. However, significant differences can be noted in the last scene where he cuts out plot events, inserts his own plot events, moves the final setting to another location, and cuts out the dialogue (Zeffirelli). Unlike in the original play where Paris arrives at the tomb and is killed in a fight with Romeo, Paris appears once at the beginning and Juliet…

and Mercutio, one which I think is actually more important than the relationship between Romeo and Juliet, in this essay I will analyse this relationship and its importance in this play. Mercutio is very insistent on Romeo enjoy himself, in act 1, scene 4, after Romeo insists that, “I am not for this ambling”, Mercutio insists, “Nay, gentle Romeo, we must have you dance”. Throughout this play Mercutio is very insistent on Romeos wellbeing and enjoyment, further reinforced by Mercutio accepting…

something is awry. The next scene that follows starts with a scene in the forest and we get a taste of the unique visual effects that were produced through the movie. Hunting with his boy they had no idea of what was about to happen. Glass’s group of fur traders were attacked out of nowhere by a group of Indians. Right off the bat we start with an intense fight scene. Now many movies start out that way but the one main thing I noticed that was different was the way the fight scenes…

characterisation opens up the darkest, deepest secrets of a power lusting women, starting in Act 1 Scene 5, Lady Macbeth’s cravings for godly power is unleashed when she is shown to have opened up her chamber to a different dimension of an abnormal self where she is seen as an manipulating, destructive obliteration of the normal, controlled 1600’s ‘woman’. In William Shakespeare’s original Macbeth (the play) after Act 1 Scene 5 Lady Macbeth is set out to make the paranormal witches predictions…

oppression that occurs throughout any social reformation. Sydney Carton, one of his most complex characters, represents Dickens’s desire to break this cycle; a desire explicitly expressed in Sydney’s final speech. Sydney Carton was primarily portrayed as a drunken waste of potential. During the first one-on-one scene that he appears in, he sits hunched and silent at a table “with the bottles and glasses ready to his hand” (65). Carton uses these copious amounts of alcohol, however, to solve two…

selves from the truth. The book written by Terrence McNally shows the audience a very real struggle of those that are a bit peculiar in today’s society as well as the past. They lyrics by Lynn Ahrens will captivate the listener. No matter which scene you sit in you can relate in some fashion to the struggle of each of these characters. At the end there is only one thing in this world that is everlasting and supportive and that’s love. The setting of this play is what appears to be a…
