Danny Devito is perfect in this role because he has quite a seedy voice this is good to illustrate the sleaziness of film-noir, it shows the real voice of L.A.

Playing God usually ends up in catastrophic events, and can even lead to the loss of one’s life. In Mary Shelly’s Frankenstein, Victor Frankenstein’s obsession with creating life ultimately leads to the death of many of his loved ones. In Frankenstein, Victor, Robert, and the creature all share some trait that shows how they try to play God.

On February 26th 2016, I went out with my friend to saw this event. It was the first time of my life to be in such production. I was not a fan of theaters. I thought they are boring. Now, my mind has changed because the play was amazing. So, on the next day,

I sat, no, endured through the 90 minutes. My inner child was not prepared for the onslaught that was Dog Sees God. I had no knowledge of what this play was going to be about and could not guard myself, as we hadn’t received any pamphlets or programs before entering. On our exit of the theater, we were finally handed programs, detailing the cast, crew and a brief description of the play. I then realized that

The idea of playing God is a strong theme throughout science fiction and portrays different effects in various works. One of the first characters to accomplish this is Victor Frankenstein in Mary Shelley's Frankenstein. Another character of science fiction recognized to do this is Dr. Tyrell from Blade Runner. These men played God and created a new form of life, but for different reasons and different results.

I will be honest with you I had a lot of trouble enjoying the play, like I said the dialect gave me trouble, plus my seats were not that great. I did however like the movie quite a bit, but I realize I am a product of a different generation as well. I have been brought up around TV and movies rather than plays

Rarely do you find a film both intelligent and entertaining like “The Gods Must Be Crazy”. The film is a collision of the individual journeys of three separate groups: the journey of Xi, the bushman, traveling to the end of the earth to get rid of a Coca-Cola bottle; the growing relationship between Kate Thompson, a school teacher, and Andrew Steyn, a clumsy scientist; and the actions of a band of terrorist led by Sam Boga. One day, a Coca-Cola bottle drops from the sky and lands unbroken near the temporary home of the bushman. The bushman family, completely isolated from humanity, has never seen such a thing and perceive it as a gift from the gods. Although the object proves to have many

In fact, each frame speaks to us on more profound terms than the majority of arthouse films would claim to do. This is, in part, due to the impeccable performances by each and every member of the cast. Jake Gyllenhaal, a relative unknown, delivers a subtle yet emotionally charged performance as Donnie himself - the scene in which he tells his psychologist of his various childhood traumas is made both funny and moving by the haunting way in which Jake delivers each line, contrasted with the almost childish qualities of his movements on the couch. Most incredible of all, however, is his terrifying screen presence as he trudges slowly through a deserted corridor or along a dark street, head tilted slightly forward, face fixed in a confused, bewildered expression. Drew Barrymore is also superb as the liberal high school teacher rejected and scorned in a Conservative education system, while Patrick Swayze is excellent in his extended cameo, a smartly observed satire of a self-help guru with a few skeletons in the closet.

Though the starring actors have plenty of box-office power, the acting was mediocre at best. The film should have been called the Charlize Theron movie, because let’s face it; the movie was all about her dramatic portrayal of the evil queen. Theron’s performance was so strong that poor Kristen Stewart just didn’t have a chance. The stunningly gorgeous Theron, made it hard to believe

God's Not Dead is the movie I have chosen, I feel this movie agrees with one of my point of views, that many so called atheists are not really atheist at all. How can anybody that calls their self an atheist be hurt by or angry with a God that they claim does not exist. For the purpose of this assignment, I have chosen the worldview of atheism, and the character Jeffery Radisson from the film God's Not Dead. As the film begins, Professor of Philosphy Jeffery Radisson tells his class, "Fill in the paper I have given you with 3 little words, God is dead!" The class must do this in order to pass his class however, one student by the name of Josh takes a stand against the instructor, explaining that he can't do write that as a Christian believer.

In 1980 a low-budget South African film was released which over the years has not only spawned a number of sequels, but took a rather humorous look at the cultural differences between so-called "primitive" cultures and the modern world. The film was called "The Gods Must Be Crazy," was written and directed by South African filmmaker Jamie Uys, and called by the New York Magazine "pure play, an amiable shaggy-dog story in which the awesome wilderness serves as an adaptable prop." (Denby, 47) It told the story of a Ju/hoansi bushman who journeyed to the end of the Earth to discard a Coke bottle; and along the way encountered the modern world for the very first time. Modern society was presented through the eyes of a person who had never encountered it before, and while the interaction was often portrayed as hilarious, it also provided a interesting view of the modern world from a most unlikely source.

The Truman Show is a movie about a television show staring Truman Burbank, an average, ordinary man who has no clue that he is the star of a television show. His entire existence is within a giant dome, and all the people in the small town are actors, including his best friend, mom, dad, and wife. Overseeing this giant production is “The Truman Show” creator, director and screenwriter, Christof. Immediately, we can see that the movie is clearly a retelling of “The Allegory of the Cave”. Moreover, it explains the dilemma of free will and determinism, and giver a visual for the common contemporary view of God. Before addressing the dilemma of free will and determinism, we need to look at Christof’s role in Truman’s life.

One might call Robert Benton’s direction mechanical, but his cast excels in roles that seem solely written for their personalities. Its supporting cast, including Jane Alexander and JoBeth Williams, provide superb performances. Primarily, I must pay tribute to Dustin Hoffman for his acting. We’re familiar with somewhat unconventional roles, as opposed to his excellently delivered role of a more characteristic man with very human qualities.
