Analysis Of The Movie ' Hurt, Nine Inch Nails '

For example, Smash Mouth writes,”i ain’t the sharpest tool in shed/ She was looking kind was looking kind of dumb with her finger in her thumb.”(Smash Mouth) This lyric describes the singer’s personality. He might not be the smartest person and people might judge him, but The singer is smart enough to make his own decisions. This is a great example of a hypole. Another examples of literary devices in the song is,”Fed to the rules and I hit the ground running.”(Smash Mouth) This lyric is an example of personification. It’s personification because it’s giving human traits to the rules. The lyric give detailed information about the singer listening to the rules, but people make fun of him for listening to every rule. That will not stop him for doing his best.

In the song he states, “she cut to deep, now she left me scarred”(line 6). She didnt actaully cut him but he uses this so the listeners can sense or feel the kind of pain he is experiencing. He compares the pain to a wound from a sharp deep cut. It overall shows that he is hurt and alone after she leaves. He also describes his ex as the “devil in the form of a whore” (line 23). His ex girlfriend doesnt really have the devil inside of her. He compares her to the devil because of how cold hearted she was when she left him. When talking about his sad feelings he says “ Try to brush it off but it keep on going” (line 38). He can literally brush off his his feelings easily; It takes time even if he tries. He compares his feelings about this girl to dust, as if he could brush it off like brushing off dust. Hyperboles wasnt the only literacy tool that malone

Aristotle was an ancient Greek philosopher and scientist that laid much of the foundation for Western philosophy. He was a person who sought out explanations that were unorthodox. His principles of common sense were built on naturalism and self-realization, which greatly influenced the world. His systematic concept of logic touched upon ethics. As an illustration, in the movie “Juice,” some of Aristotle’s beliefs and principles on friendship, character, and happiness are heavily portrayed throughout the film.

The Dave Matthews Band has been a musical power house for years. They have meshed together almost every type of music together to create their extremely unique sounds and attractiveness towards their music. Dave Matthews, lead singer and guitarist from South Africa has put together a band that no one will ever be able to create again. Dave picked four extremely talented and unique sounding men to join his band and together they have created some amazing music. The members of the band include Stefan Lessard on bass, Boyd Tinsley on violin, Leroi Moore on saxophone and one of the best drummers in the world, Carter Beauford. Together these men will one day leave behind a similar reputation as one of the all time greatest "jam" bands of time.

Had Sigmund Freud lived 40 more years (to the overripe old age of 123), he would have been delighted to hear such a wonderful example of his life's psychoanlytic work embodied in the haunting lyrics of "Mother." Or had Oedipus lived a few millennium longer than his fictional death he would have found an adversary in the youthful Pink, a young boy whose desire for maternal acceptance and love is arguably equal to the greatest mother-centered protagonists in the history of literature. Contrary to the eye-gouging antics of Oedipus or even the grandiose melodrama later in Floyd's album, "Mother" is relatively low-key and emotionally subtle. The music itself is interestingly split, though with few if any

er the the years the documentary genre has been seen to have evolved and as to has the definition of a documentary. A documentary is an informative, non-fiction genre that presents the idea of ‘reality’ to audience members and relates to the idea of a text having common elements of which the audience can relate and identify. In the documentary, “Bowling for Columbine” directed by Michael Moore (2002), we as an audience follow Moore as he explores America’s violent history and whilst making us more aware of gun control in America he is also altering viewers opinions on gun control. This reading will explore the documentary conventions of interviews, montage and hand-held camera featured in Bowling For Columbine and question whether Michael Moore has used these conventions to subtly influence the way the audience feel about gun control in America whilst also manipulating the film to make it look like “reality”.

The story goes that Cash’s record producer, called and asked Reznor for permission to “cover the song ‘Hurt’.” Sharples states, “It was as if Trent Reznor unconsciously wrote it for Mr. Cash” (2011). Trent Reznor was flattered that someone with Johnny’s musical talent and long-standing status in the music world would even be interested in interpreting his song. When Trent first heard the final copy of Johnny’s version, Trent stated, “. . .it felt like somebody kissed your girlfriend” (“The Nine Inch Nails Wiki,” 2012). According to Sharples, it would be some four months later that Trent and his music team would see Johnny’s video for the song. It was then that “Reznor was flattered, honored, and moved to tears by the results” (2011). Reznor says. "By the end I was really on the verge of tears. There was, like, this moist clearing of our throats and then, 'Uh, OK, let's get some coffee.'' (Sharples, 2011).

Bowling for Columbine is a documentary directed and written by Michael Moore about the United States of America’s mindset on gun violence and finding out the key causes of why America has the highest amount of gun related deaths in the world. Moore does this by venturing to Flint Michigan, Ontario Canada, Littleton Colorado, South Central Los Angeles, and interviewing the locals, Charles Heston (the president of the National Rifles Association), Marilyn Manson, Evan McCollum (director of communications for Lockheed Martin Space Systems), and those who knew of or were involved with the Columbine high school shooting. Each scene is created to invoke the viewer into sympathizing with Moore’s argument that the media’s constant stream of negativity and violence manipulates the American mass into fear and that causes them to consume and spend money. Michael Moore takes control of the documentary by editing horrifying clips to feel good music to create an emotional appeal. He also makes use of logical appeals by showing the history of America’s wrong doings and coincidence of NRA rally’s shorty after a mass massacre tragedy. Satirically he makes light of how ridiculous Americans love their guns by use of song and cartoon. (Moss) These deliberate techniques push the viewer to side with Moore and they are very effective especially for first time watchers -including me. I agree that America is insecure and focuses too much on the bad; we want the quickest and easiest solution

A theme in The Outsiders is the strongest friendships are not based on wealth. This theme shows up multiple times in the book. The greasers are poor, but their bond is much stronger than the Socs'. This theme first shows up at the very start of the book, when Ponyboy is jumped well walking out of the movie theater. All of his friends come to his rescue and fight off the guys who attacked him. "I lay there and wondered what in the world was happening - people were jumping over me and running by me and I was too dazed to figure it out,"(6 Hinton) "By then I had figured that all the noise I heard was the gang coming to rescue me."(7 Hinton) Ponyboy's friends and brothers will stop whatever they are doing to help one of their people in need.

For this assignment I applied the Social Constructionist Perspective to community violence after viewing the film Bowling For Columbine (2002) directed by Michael Moore. In his move, Moore focuses on examining the relationship between laws/policies surrounding gun control and violence committed in communities. The film starts out by showing Moore entering a bank and asking to open a bank account there so that he could get a free gun provided by the bank. During the application process/interview Moore asks a bank staff member what criteria a customer had to meet in order to be able to receive a gun. The staff member reports that the only criteria for receiving a gun is that a person be able

The Moral dilemma presented in the film, Bowling for Columbine, directed and written by Michael Moore, is shown as the basis of the entire film, plot and characterization, which is the relentless reality of America 's love affair with guns, violence and death as a way to resolve problems. Eric Harris and Dylan Klebold the two students that led the Columbine shooting on April 20th 1999, in Littleton Colorado led introverted lifestyles and careless attitudes that nobody would think twice about, making it a shock that they were responsible for the Columbine High School massacre killing 12 students and injuring many others. In the very beginning of the movie, we see Moore establishing the fact that it was very easy to get a gun just by opening up a bank account and purchasing bullets from a nearby barber shop. The outline of the moral dilemma follows as such: is it right for anyone to have a gun and use it to kill other people as they like.

The Vietnam war was a major event to America because it had major conflicts with personal opinions of the people of 1960’s. In this era, plenty of people were rethinking on why they were fighting in a war that they did not need to be fighting. and joined the anti-war movement. This can explicitly be seen from the type of music that people were listening to at the time. The song that I am going to be analyzing is “Paint it Black” by the Rolling Stones. This song resonated with the persona of the people for multiple reasons because it was a song that was about losing a loved one and dealing with the sadness.

Fight Club is a psychoanalytical film that addresses the themes of identification, freedom and violence. It acknowledges Freud’s principle which stresses that human behavior is the result of psychological conflicting forces and in order to analyze these forces, there needs to be a way of tapping into peoples minds. The narrator tells his personal journey of self-discovery through his alter ego and his schizophrenic experiences. The movie is told through a sequence of events is told through a flashback that starts with insomnia. Jack starts attending support groups for testicular cancer survivors that let him release his emotions and can finally is able to sleep at night. Although he

“Fight Song” by Rachel Platten: I chose this song because it describes Romeo in Act 3 Scene 1, this is the scene where Benvolio and Mercutio ride along the streets in the warm sun and Benvolio warns Mercutio to call it a day because of the Capulets. And the Capulets might come along and try and fight with them, then Tybalt comes along and challenges Mercutio to a fight, then Romeo arrives. While trying to break up the fight between Mercutio and Tybalt, Tybalt then punctures Mercutio and he falls dead. This sudden causes Romeo to no longer be nice to Tybalt. Like the line "My powers turned on, starting right now i’ll be strong” relates to Romeo having to be strong that his best friend is going to die and since Juliet has weakened him

The movie Twelve Angry Men is about the twelve jurors that could adjust their influence in a decision-making process for conviction an eighteen years-old boy, whether the boy guilty or not guilty in murdering of his father. It represents a perfect example for applicable of a work group development framework. It also has examples of influence techniques among a group’s members. This paper is looking at those specific examples in the movie and focusing in analysis the reasons why Juror 8 is so much more effective than others in the meeting.
