The world of film is one of the most exotic and magical places in the world. Through film we can explore the corners of imagination, motivate and teach ourselves lessons about life and touch the unknown. But all roses have their thorns, some films have underlying secret meanings that not everyone notices because they don't know what to look for. What I'm trying to get at here essentially is that all movies tell a story, but some of these stories have dark secrets hidden away in symbolism shown throughout the film. One example of this is in one of my all time favorite movie Coraline.

The classic movie 12 Angry Men opens with clips of a courthouse, ultimately panning to a specific court room where an 18-year-old boy is on trial for killing his father. Despite the case being the central point which the story revolves around, the movie isn’t about the boy or even his father. The movie is about the 12 jurors who are in charge of the boy’s fate. If they decide he is guilty, he is sentenced to the death penalty, which meant death by the electric chair.

The Novum presented in Starship Troopers is the rule of the Veterans and the resulting primacy of the military. This Novum sets the novel up as a utopic pandering to a readership demographic that the author himself is a member of. This is a normative sci-fi construction. Starship Troopers deviates in that the true target readership is the young man who has not yet been given a chance to join up. He is meant to gain a favorable understanding of the military man by sharing in his dream. The dream then - the world created – is the persuasive device.

Shelby numerous challenges such her aspiration to become a pregnant besides her illness, breakdown of her health due to diabetes, and her conflicts with her mother takes place offstage.

Halloween also happens to be the day that Donnie’s “world” will come to an end, according to Frank the first time he speaks to Donnie. Frank also lists numbers in the form of time measurements and all can be speculatively composed of or can total to 666. “Six is known as the number of man, and in the Apocalypse of St. John, the number of the Beast” (Jay). In the film Frank states: “28 days, 6 hours, 42 minutes, 12 seconds” meaning that after that time had passed Donnie’s “world” would end. Back to the “6” reference we hear 28 days or 8-2=6; 6 hours; 42 seconds or 4+2=6, and 12 seconds which is 6 + 6.

Donnie Darko In recent years, Hollywood has specialised in churning out mainstream trash; generic fodder not even fit for the cutting room floor. Yet despite these movies' shortcomings, they continue to enjoy success at the box office. Sequel upon sequel, photo fit remake upon photo fit remake, frequently taking the box office by storm whilst simultaneously relegating smaller independent projects to the now relatively unheard-of arthouse cinemas. The tragedy is that the independent filmmakers are often those with the most talent; the most creativity; the most flair.

Twelve Angry Men is about a jury who must decide the fate of an 18 year old boy who allegedly killed his father. The jury must determine a verdict of guilty beyond any reasonable doubt and not guilty. A guilty verdict would mean that the accused would receive the death penalty. After a day of deliberation and many votes, they came up with the verdict of not guilty. I believe they achieved their overall goal of coming up with a verdict they were all able to agree with. It seems there were some individual personal short term goals that were not met. One being that the one juror was not able to go to the baseball game. Another was that a juror was not able to take out the anger he had towards his son on the son accused of killing his
