The costumes were also quite beautiful and wonderfully tailored to each character. The many different

Could the cruelest, most punishing soldier and a peaty chaplain’s assistant be at all alike? How are they different? When reading Slaughterhouse Five, by Kurt Vonnegut, Billy Pilgrim and Roland Weary are some of the first characters you will meet. One is a no-life and the other a die hard army man. The characters are different yet very similar. Billy and Roland are similar even if they don’t realize it.

Throughout the 1950’s, the United States belonged to the Leave It To Beaver era. Families were structured around a strong, hard working father and a wonderful homemaker mother. Children were brought up with solid ideologies on what society expects from them and were warned about living a different and dangerous life. Only one-year separates Tennessee William’s Cat on a Hot Tin Roof and James Baldwin’s Giovanni’s Room from there publishing dates during this decade of unwavering beliefs. These texts were seen as extremely controversial during their time due to their themes of homosexuality. Sexual orientation was an awkward topic during such a “to the book” time period and these texts pushed the limits, making them remarkable and memorable works. Both Tennessee Williams and James Baldwin explore the panic men experience while trying to comprehend what sexual orientation they belong to and highlight the masculine gay man. These texts also examine the woman’s role in the mist of it all.

In the film industry, there are directors who merely take someone else’s vision and express it in their own way on film, then there are those who take their own visions and use any means necessary to express their visions on film. The latter of these two types of directors are called auteurs. Not only do auteurs write the scripts from elements that they know and love in life, but they direct, produce, and sometimes act in their films as well. Three prime examples of these auteurs are: Kevin Smith, Spike Lee and Alfred Hitchcock.

Within the novel, The Other Wes Moore, by Wes Moore, the character Wes has grown and changed through his actions, thoughts, and spoken words. A theme that relates to Wes’s growth is “choices determine consequences”.

They all clearly worked very very hard to be able to accurately portray their characters effectively. One thing that really stuck out to me was Dayandra Leos portrait of Jean. I am able to say this because I personally know Dayandra and saw her in many high school production, but she fully became Jean. At times, I even forgot who she was, I forgot that she wasn’t her character. It was amazing. This also had to be one of her best performances that i've seen her do. She was completely believable and I was stunned by her. Another performance I found to be shocking was Matt Magaldi portrayal of Gordon Gottlieb. His entire monologue in the middle of the play was just so funny and honestly very well done. I actually believed that he was a horrible guy who sold organs and only cared about himself. The fact that the audience could be so close and still be fully immersed into the world is pure talent.

I found very interesting how the first scenes were played, like when Mona is seen posing , for a white photographer man, in a place with a heavy history background of slavery, dressed in popular American contemporary trends of the current time period she's living. Which was kind of ironic because she had to

The human condition refers to the inescapable features of being a human being. It is related to those human feelings that search for the meaning of life. It is the saga of events in life that changes people’s perception. In the big picture, the human condition is also the reasons which causes a child to grow and mature into a man. J.D. Salinger explores this condition through his character Holden in his book The Catcher in the Rye and director Fred Schepisi in his film Six Degrees of Separation, through his main character, Paul.

Twin Peaks (1990-1991, 2017) was created by David Lynch & Mark Frost and aired on the American commercial broadcast television network ABC. Over the years, the show has achieved cult-status resulting in global appeal due to it’s ambitious style, paranormal undertones, and engaging murder mystery which made Twin Peaks a hit amongst critics and audiences alike. “Quality television drama means an aesthetically ambitious programme type with the literary values of creative imagination, authenticity and relevance.” (Akass & McCade, 2007: 162) The show only lasted two seasons leaving the ending cliffhanger unresolved, but hopefully will be answered when the reboot of the show, made by the original creators, presents its final season on the

In J.D. Salinger’s The Catcher in the Rye and Yann Martel's Life of Pi both main characters Pi and Holden have an equal amount of grief and pain, so they can relate to each other. Pi is more mature than Holden Caulfield, but they both have not found that fulfilment that makes them feel whole. They search for two different things to find satisfaction and coping methods with their problems in life. Pi seeks the spiritual world through God and religion for help with his struggles. Holden takes the logical approach through materialistic things such as money to cope with his own set of troubles. Both characters seek happiness, they come from two different backgrounds and have two different ways of approaching adversity to try to achieve the same goal.

When it comes to movies, many directors are good at their jobs. However, other directors are great in the art of film making. There is no doubt such statement is considered utterly subjective, but what would life be without subjectivity, for it is our differences that make us thrive against a monotonic existence. By the same token, Alfred Hitchcock and Christopher Nolan utilize their singularities to create films that for decades have impacted the movie making universe. In fact, it is their differences that provide us with a high contrast to compare and scrutinize their job and find what made them great at it.
