“We’re all pretty bizarre. Some of us are just better at hiding it, that’s all.” This is a quote from one of the main characters from this film. This film is an older one and came out in the year, 1985. It centers around five high school students who spend their Saturday in detention. Each of the five students signifies a stereo type, that are displayed in schools. The characters are John who is known as the criminal, Claire as the princess, Andrew known as the athlete or jock, Brian as the brain/nerd, and lastly, Allison is known as the basket case. We are also introduced to Richard Vernon the school principal and Carl the janitor. It helps us to remember that no matter how I may observe a student to be, there could be a very good chance, there will be some darker parts that are just waiting to be shared with others, they could be just waiting for someone to ask.

Tom Tykwer’s Run Lola Run (1998) is truly a brilliant film. It is very seldom that a film manages to combine the high pace of an action thriller and a deep philosophical subtext without botching it, but Run Lola Run does an excellent job at striking a balance between both. Tackling the very abstract and philosophical concepts of chance and cause-effect, Run Lola Run is truly a modern foreign classic. Tykwer manages to postulate one simple theory through the film, that the simplest of choices can completely change everything. The film is supported by stellar performances from Franka Potente and Moritz Bleibtreu as the protagonist Lola and her boyfriend, Manni. The film’s use of cinematography to add to the narrative, clever use of the aspects of mise-en-scene and explosively-paced soundtrack add a whole new dimension to this film. One of the few German films to be both a critical and commercial success, Run Lola Run is a smart and stimulating film, which demands active watching in order to understand fully. I will now analyze the film comprehensively using three main parameters; the mise-en-scene, the cinematography and the sound.

In Jane Austen’s Pride and Prejudice Elizabeth Bennet, the protagonist, is empirical. To begin, in chapter 34, Fitzwilliam Darcy approaches Elizabeth in Mr. Collins’ house with intentions to propose to her. Before Darcy steps foot into the house, Elizabeth is aware that he is the reason that Mr. Bingley (Darcy’s friend) and Jane Bennet (Elizabeth’s oldest sibling) split up. This causes Elizabeth to dislike Darcy from the beginning, as the Bennett's’ mother has been urging her daughters to get married. Not only this, but as Darcy proposes Elizabeth finds it insulting to her and her family. Baring all of this in mind, Elizabeth replies to the proposal by saying how “‘[She] has every reason to think ill of [Mr. Darcy],’” (113). Not only this, but she also expresses her frustration by declaring to Darcy that “‘You [are] the last man in the world whom [I] could [ever prevail] on to marry,”’ (114). With all of this being said by Elizabeth, it is obvious that her response to Mr. Darcy was solely based on her experience with him and how he acts. Her opinions of him are justifiable, but they continue to formulate throughout the book when she begins to observe him more thoroughly. On the contrary, despite Darcy’s previous actions, towards the end of the novel Elizabeth is much more fond of him again. This occurs because Darcy mends a marriage

As Shakespeare says, “Lilies that fester smell far worse than weeds.” In the play A Streetcar Named Desire by Tennessee Williams, Blanche gets labeled as not being a lily by her brother in law Stanley. Blanche is considered a profligate sinner and a hypocrite for condemning “commonness” in Stanley, when her mask of being a perfect, innocent school teacher is found to be inaccurate due to actions she while in Laurel. Blanche’s husband's suicide, dying culture and role in her family contribute to her actions in Laurel and make them understandable and tolerable but not completely forgivable. Blanche “smells far worse” than Stanley because she used a facade to hide from her past, whereas Stanley has always been upfront about being a “weed” common man.
