All of these things can describe Georges Melies perfectly. But one word that fits him like a puzzle piece finding its home is “broken”. Georges Melies was a popular filmmaker around WW1. When his best friends, Isabelles’ parents, died in a fire, he was consumed with grief. He became closed off and angry at the world and in a result of this he stopped filmmaking. He completely dropped off the face of the Earth so much that almost everyone forgot about him to the point where many thought he was dead. He became severely depressed and had no self worth. This is proven when he says: “HA! How could this be mine? I am not an artist! I am nothing! I am a penniless merchant, a prisoner! a shell! a wind up toy!” He has given up on himself and he feels as though his only purpose is to be there and look after Isabelle. Hugo is a pest that will not go away, in Georges’ eyes. But when Hugo and Georges talk he comes out of his shell a little bit. He finds that somebody other than his wife or Isabelle notices him, needs him. He begins to find happiness and purpose in helping Hugo and as the story goes on Georges Melies comes out of his shell completely, announcing his return to the filmmaking world. In Georges’ case, Hugo helped him see his purpose

He learned to swim at age 4 and soon developed a love for the sea as well as developing a mechanical aptitude (“Jacques Cousteau biography - life,” n.d.).

Marie – Joseph Paul Yves Roch Guilbert du Motier, Maquis de Lafayette (1757 – 1834) was a French military leader who played a large role in America’s victory in the Revolutionary War. He was a tall fiery man with high status and a large adoration for American liberty (Boy’s Life). He devoted everything in his life at the time to join the rebels as well as risked being imprisoned for disobedience. His connections through his wealth and his own personal excitement for the rebel leaders’ beliefs gave America a large boost that lead to their victory (UXL).

He is set free, but only with his identification papers yellow. This marks him as criminal, and now in the new town, no one is willing to house him. In despair, Jean Valjean goes to the bishop M.

Toussaint L’ouverture was a slave, who was born and raised on a plantation. As a child, he was thought how to read and right. In 1770, Toussaint was a free man, but during that time, many people in Haiti were enslaved and weren’t granted equality. Toussaint and his good associate, Jean Jacque Dessalines wanted everyone to be free and treated equally. During this time, many slaves were treated brutally and it was a struggle for the slaves in the French’s colony. In 1799, Whites in Haiti had more power over the colony, but since it was a mixed raced colony, the Blacks hoped for an essential change in the colony. Even though those Blacks were born free, they wanted to be treated with equality and with respect. Throughout this, there was a slave who was a voodoo priest,

Hugo cabret is broken because he has no parents to care for him, no siblings to share with and no friends to make him laugh. He steals, lies and tries not to be noticed because if he does, he gets sent to the orphanage, and that’s no place for a boy as creative and adventurous as him. He cannot be caged or trapped because if he isn’t on his feet all the time, busy all the time, he has time to think. time to remember. Through the novel of The Invention of Hugo Cabret, Hugo finds his purpose in magic.

In the film, there isn’t one single recognizable source of narration. The narration is from an outside perspective, the story not being told by any of the characters in the film. This is done in a way that shifts from Hugo to Isabelle to Georges—giving insight on each of the characters’ internal thoughts and feelings. Based on Aristotle’s poetics, the plot of the story can be broken into several elements. The hero is Hugo, a young boy living in poverty in the early twentieth century. His life has been very rough, many of his family members dying and leaving him alone in the world. This is Hugo’s weakness, that he has nobody. His loneliness is one of the biggest flaws in his character, because in his situation it makes him very vulnerable. Being a young boy living in the walls of a train station is very dangerous, and the fact that he has nobody that would be concerned if something were to happen to him makes it worse. Before he meets Isabelle, his life consisted

It was in a large, packed cinema that I first viewed Hugo in 2011. During this initial viewing it had not occurred to me that this film was a spectacle of the history of cinema. However, upon revisiting the film with a more developed understanding of film history, I was delighted to be able to acknowledge its nods and winks to the beginnings of cinema. Hugo, for me, represents an unorthodox marriage of the cinematic celluloid tradition and the innovation of digital technologies, that ultimately highlights the transition film has experienced.

In his novel, Les Miserables, Victor Hugo identifies the principle social evils of French society through the actions and qualities of his characters. By depicting each of his characters’ struggles through destitute and oppressed measures, Hugo is able to identify the social errors of 19th century France. The fact that characters such as Valjean, Javert, Fantine, and Cosette, attempt to rise above poverty and redeem themselves indicate that such inequalities did, and still do, exist to this day. Through the use of feminist ideals and the criminal injustice system, Hugo attacks the principle social evils that each of his characters face in Les Miserables.

They say what’s old is new again. There is nothing new under the sun. What goes around comes around. History repeats itself. These may be just a few banal sayings, but they might hold true for classical music as well. Maurice Ravel’s Le Tombeau de Couperin is one such example. Written during the neo-classical and neo-baroque movements of the early 1900s, this clever piece ties together French musical traditions, baroque styles, and World War I in just six short pieces. This essay will detail the origins of the suite form and the neo-classical neo-baroque movement, and compare Le Tombeau de Couperin with Bach’s French Suite no. 5 in G Major, BWV 816.

Chris Marker’s 1962 film, La Jetée is a classic apocalyptic time travel story about a man who is transported by the strength of a vivid memory to the past where he can prevent world destruction. La Jetée primarily uses still frames to convey its meaning of destiny and its ties with time. Marker’s use of imagery, editing, and sounds effectively brings insight to this bleak universe he created and a man’s plight into depths of time.
