Comparing John Travolta's Characters In Saturday Night Fever

Another common feature of all the dances is that the music is an irregular rhythm, creating suspense and standing out as individual. Kylian’s choreography uses the ability to isolate and coordinate different body parts as well as the use of hands to communicate meaning in all of his dances. Humor is often created as a result in over the top facial expressions like in ‘six dances’. Kylian as a contemporary choreographer uses stillness as a choreographic device in all of his dances. Another unique element to his dance style is the entrances and exits of the performers. He explores space’s limitations and capabilities making the entrances and exits part of the dance. In all of Jiri Kylian’s dances, the dancers enter and exit the stage into darkness rather than through wings. The dancers in all Jiri Kylian’s Black and white ballets, dance predominately in a large group, with individuals or pairs breaking off to do their individual movements before soon joining back in with the group.

In all of our lives there are goals we have, values we possess, and strengths and weaknesses that make us who we are. All of us, no matter if we are a jock, or a brain, someone who succeeds in education, or someone who wants so badly to get out, face barriers in our lives. Some of us come from broken families, some us of come from abusive situations, but all of us have a unique and individual story. At the heart of this story are the struggles we have experienced, the people we have associated ourselves with, and the lessons we have learnt along the way. Such can be said about my own life, and the lives of the characters from the Breakfast Club. The characters from the Breakfast Club that I feel most represent me are: Claire Standish (The

She wants to be a doctor like her dad, and help people. Another example of gender construction in Dirty Dancing would be when Baby offers to help carry watermelons for Billy. He tells her that he has it and insists on carrying these watermelons because women should not have to carry heavy things (Ardolino & Gottileb, 1987). There are other aspects of this movie that comply with the gender construction of that time period. For example, pre-marital sex was looked down upon and in this particular movie, the woman is blamed for it.

In Strictly Ballroom, Luhrman uses many different camera angles and lighting techniques to exaggerate scenes, settings and even characters’ personalities. An example of this is at the start of the film, when Scott Hastings is dancing by himself in a room, there is a bright, white spotlight on him as he dances, drawing the audience to watch him. This happens whenever Scott dances and it shows the audience that Scott has a sense of purity and that he is the protagonist of the film. Luhrman uses low angle shots when Scott and Fran are dancing at the end of the film, this is a good technique used so the audience can see them dancing and also gives the audience the impression that they are dominate and confident. Another character who is a good example of camera angles and film techniques being used on them to portray their personality is Barry Fife. Barry is a mean character and Luhrman uses dark, reddish lighting to make him seem evil.

Do you ever have a moment where you just sit there and daydream? If you ask me it can be pretty dangerous if you do it at the wrong time! So you should watch what you do so you won't be like Walter Mitty. In the short story of “The Secret Life of Walter Mitty” by James Thurber there are a lot of differences and very little similarities, in my opinion i say the movie was way better.

“For thugs from the ghetto, violence is a way of life - it’s what helps you survive.” The Socs and the Greasers were two gangs in The Outsiders. Throughout the novel these two gangs had a continuous rivalry. These two gangs were viewed differently by society. The Socs as rich kids and the Greasers as poor kids.

They didn’t know precisely what the poem meant, but little do they know that the poem would have a significant similarity to them individually. Each line and stanza refer to the experiences that Johnny and Ponyboy have lived through throughout the story.

The Metamorphosis by Franz Kafka describes the story of Gregor Samsa life, working an unpleasant job that leaves no time for him. His commitment to providing for his family left him feeling alienated from himself and others.

Both of these progressions cause each character more problems than they had, to begin with. These stories, written years

There is a popular saying that “opposites attract.” The statement is genuinely correct and relatable, despite the fact that many poets, book writers, and even celebrities do not agree. Several claim that opposites don't attract, and that only alike things are attracted to one another. However, this is untrue - for example, north poles attract south poles. They are similar, but yet, very different. In the novel The Outsiders by S.E. Hinton, Johnny and Dally are attracted by their countless similarities and differences.

The movie had quite a turn as it included different details.

How can two characters that have such a similar lifestyle, be so extremely different? In the novel, The Outsiders by S.E Hinton, the author proves that such instances happen. Dallas Winston and Johnny Cade have very similar lives, but are completely different people. Johnny is more of a sensitive person and always likes to follow the rules. While Dallas on the other hand, loves to break the laws and do the wrong thing. These two characters are very similar on the inside, but are very different on the outside.

A few acts of violence in the community never hurt nobody. In our society today, the crime has skyrocketed tremendously. Two violent individuals that share similar characteristics are Fight Club character Tyler Durden and A Clockwork Orange’s Alex Delarge. People like Tyler Durden and Alex Delarge have a point to prove in society. They both enjoy being local terrorists in their communities, and express no guilt,or any conscious at all in destroying the world one day at a time. In Chuck Palanhuik’s book Fight Club, Tyler Durden is the character and sociopath who prides himself on self destruction and the destruction of others. In Anthony Burgess

John Hughes's The Breakfast Club is one of film history’s most iconic and renowned movies and is a cornerstone of 1980’s pop-culture. The Breakfast Club showcases five unique high school students who all unfortunately find themselves imprisoned in an all-day Saturday detention. The students go as following: Claire (a pretty girl), Brian (the nerd), John (the bad boy), Andrew (an athlete), and Allison (the strange, goth girl). These students come from very different backgrounds and social settings which proves to spark many conflicts between them as well as with their supervisor Mr. Vernon. But through this conflict they find similarities between themselves, and after spending nine hours locked up together, they find resolution within themselves and with their new friends. Psychology can explain why this happened as well as what caused other events to occur. This paper will examine four different psychological phenomena: stereotypes, conformity/normative social influence, ingroup versus outgroup/superordinate goals, and the various causes of attraction.

The movie Grease is filled with examples of behavioral conditioning. The classic film is a good example of how all teenagers think and act. From the “cool kids” to the “outcasts,” we all fall into various roles and run wild as we play our parts.

The most of characters’ actions of the film are slow and static, but when they have a combat, their actions are swift and graceful, especially for main character: Nie Yinniang, she prefers naturalistic hand-to-hand combat, her cation can be very image to reflects her personality: stable, efficient, and smart. Then, the characters’ facial expressions are indifferent, and there are no exaggerated and changeable expressions in the whole film. Most of them express their feelings through by subtle facial expression or eyes.
