Should there be a limit to the progression of human beings? This question is complicated not only because it implies we will always progress, but also because it raises the question of whether or not we should limit that progression.

As Narciso spoke he prayed Lupito would listen to his words so he wouldn’t have to die and so the armed men who wanted his life wouldn’t commit mortal sin. Nevertheless Lupito cried hearing Narciso’s words and having what seemed like a death wish shot his gun up in the air and this provoked the men into killing him. As he crawled…

I wished for Neele to cancel Amsterdam last minute, or at least to tell me to stay at home and wait as usual, although I had been begging her to take me with her again for weeks. But only the gun has been left behind like a lover, she never crosses the border with it. I keep skidding on Amsterdam’s rain mirrored cobblestones, try to protect my new coat with an umbrella that soon surrenders to the storm. I stumble after Neele from phone…

However, in the movie, "Luhrmann [. . .] has Juliet wake up in order to watch Romeo die, [. . .] allowing [her . . .] to hear Romeo's last words" (Downing 5). In Shakespeare, the two fathers have vowed to put their hatred behind them by building golden statues in honor of their children. Luhrmann, on the other hand, does not have the two families end their feuding. The movie portrays how nothing, even death, will stop the feuding between the two families. The play and the movie differ…

him down and take care of his own business. But like his attempts throughout the film, he fails. Returning to Ahab’s, Strike and Darryl are shown in a low-angle shot, with Strike positioned a step down from his enemy. Darryl’s gold necklace with a gun emblem is more powerful than Strike’s actual weapon. As Darryl hurls insults at his pitiful nemesis, the camera places Strike in the center of the frame but removes his power. His face appears childlike and defeated. So even when the next sequence…
