Analysis Of The Film 'The Thirty-Nine Steps'

One policeman makes a remark about "someone getting their meal early" (The 39 Steps). This remark relates to the quote about the ideals of sexuality and relationships of that time period. The act of Hannay and Pamela kissing is viewed as an act of sexuality and domesticity. Later in the movie, Hannay hides away at a farmer, named John's house with him and his wife, Margaret. Throughout the scene, the viewer can see the chemistry and sexuality being displayed between the farmer's wife and Hannay. Margaret and the farmer, John, have a terrible marriage. John is a very angry, jealous man who doesn't really let Margaret think for herself. When John notices the sexuality between his wife and Hannay, he becomes very jealous. He views his wife as his possession, not as a human being with feelings and needs of her own. Although they have a bad marriage, they do not separate, instead they live on with the awkwardness and lack of communication between the two of them. Later on in the movie when Hannay meets up with Pamela again, they are handcuffed together by who they originally thought were the police but later found out were members of the spy organization, the 39

In "The Miller's Tale," the character of Alison is introduced as the 18-year-old wife of a carpenter who is much older than the woman.

The film was made in 1941 and won best screenplay at the Oscars and was also nominated for best picture, best director, best actor and best cinematography. It was directed by Orsen Welles and its main actors were Joseph Cotten , Dorothy Comingore and Agnes Moorehead. The film has aged incredibly in the last 75 years from its release and has defined film in how good it really was. Citizen Kane changed the way movies are made because it became the starting point for many filmmakers first learning about how films are made and how a director can give a film a particular style. The editing (by Robert Wise) was as innovative as the cinematography by Gregg Toland - add these two talents to the talent of director Orson Welles not knowing how to direct properly and you have stylistic flourishes and a film that still impresses today. It didn't immediately change how movies were made citizen Kane was actually a somewhat forgotten film for several years until it was rediscovered in the late 50s - but it was definitely ground-breaking and many of the techniques used were copied and used by later directors.

This is an analysis of the film “Do the Right Thing”. This film begins on a very hot day in Brooklyn, New York. Everyone on the block where the film is taking place is waking up and on their way out the door. Throughout the film there are many conflicts between characters.

No other options are left for the American army, running from the British along side the Delaware River, fighting against deserters, disease, famine, and their major lack of artillery was no help to the cause. On the 25th of December in 1776, George Washington led his army across the Delaware River in New Jersey. In a desperate attempt to win a battle, and help motivate people to rejoin the revolution, Washington devised a plan to attack the Hessians at Trenton on Christmas night. He declared that it was victory or death, they were either going to win the battle, or they were going to die, but retreat was not an option.

“There’s only one person in the world to decide what I’m going to do – and that’s me.” – Charles Foster Kane from Orson Welles’ Citizen Kane.

Initially established as naive and unsophisticated, particularly by her dowdy dress codes i.e colour codes are very dull: browns, greens, her deferential body-language, and her thick Irish accent, she is represented as a weak, ordinary and poor woman. For example her dress codes of poor clothing often lacking in quality, and colour. Margaret grows in confidence throughout the seasons, as her and Nucky begin a relationship. An Irish immigrant she is wise beyond her years, Margaret quickly becomes versed in the dealings of her “husband” and becomes a supportive and protective ‘wife’ for his chaotic life. In her previous marriage Margaret was represented in a weak and negative way enduring endless beatings from her husband Hans. An incident of abuse had caused Margaret to miscarry her 4th child, and so Nucky ordered to have Hans murdered. Margaret knows of this but chooses to remain silent for the benefit of herself and her kids, later racked with Catholic guilt over the murder, their life, and their source of income. Nucky proceeds to live with her and her children, becoming a sensitive father figure to the kids, and a loving ‘husband’ to

He has adopted a sort of fixation around the aesthetics of their family home, however, it can be more truly regarded as a method for him to hide who he really is. As Alison walks through and observes her home, she relates the decorations to the deeper ongoings within the house. She states, “His shame inhabited our house as pervasively and invisibly as the aromatic musk of mahogany. In fact, the meticulous, period interiors were expressly designed to conceal it. Mirrors, distracting bronzes, multiple doorways” (Bechdel 20). Through this dialogue she explores how he has constructed a literal labyrinth within their home that serves a greater purpose of helping to hide who he truly is from both his family and himself. Like Nel, Alison recognizes the incredible struggle her parent endures and vows to lead the life he wished he could have had by exploring her own personal

Psycho opens with a series of Panorama across the city city of Phoenix, Arizona. The story starts with two lovers discussing their long distance relationship. We are introduced to the main character Marion, half naked laying on the bed and her loved one Sam. Marion is tired of this childish relationship and desire a respectable one, but Sam is in the middle a divorce and cannot sustain her financially, so she would have to keep her job in a different city. This voyeur scene enables us to identify the issues and abandon any stereotype toward the female play that we would normally held due her first impression in the movie. In fact, we are now able to empathize with the couple’s struggles. Along with the voyeurism, in his movie Psycho Hitchcock uses a variation of different techniques that makes his movie very unique.

“Inside Man” was released in 2006 and would later become the highest grossing film for the director Spike Lee. The film is a crime-drama, located primarily in a bank in New York City run by multi billionaire Arthur Case. Although the film is a thriller and contains bits of action and suspense, the movie focuses heavily on the difference between good and evil. The movie begins with a shot in medias res of Clive Owen’s character Dalton Russell explaining the difference between being stuck in a tiny cell and being in prison while he moves around a small room

The audience is provided with minimal facts about her, and learn the most about her through the dialogue in which she rejects her husband’s suggestion. Around 2 A.M., the newlyweds woke up ravenous. With no food in the refrigerator, the narrator proposes that they eat out. The wife immediately rejects the suggestion, stating that “you’re not supposed to go out to eat after midnight.” Due to her unambiguous response, the audience is inclined to perceive the narrator’s wife as a timid and simple woman who accepts certain social codes. The description of his wife does not expand from their exchange, painting her as a truly ordinary character. The audience quickly learns that she is not as the story progresses. After learning about her husband’s first attack on a bakery, she declares that he had been cursed and they must reverse it. The narrator and the wife drive around Tokyo with a gun and ski masks that the wife surprisingly owned. He writes, “Why my wife owned a shotgun, I had no idea. Or ski masks. Neither of us had ever skied. But she didn’t explain and I didn’t ask.” Her appearance in the story in very deceptive in that she unexpectedly has some expertise in theft. As more about her character is revealed, the audience’s perception of her escalates. Contrary to what she seems, she asserts her dominance in their relationship and destroys the readers’ assumption that the married couple

What is friendship? According to google.com, friendship is defined as “a state of mutual trust and support between allied nations”. This is the main theme in the three movies that I have selected. The movies are Captain Abu Raed, Goodbye First Love and The Mystery of Happiness. These three movies all illustrate how a friendship can either blossom and grow into something beautiful or get hindered and fall out into something that it is not.
