Dr Strangelove Character Analysis

In one of his most memorable roles, Laurence Fishburne subtly and cleverly plays Professor Maurice Phipps. Phipps is a no b.s. man of great wisdom that treats everyone equally and

Strangelove is black comedy in its purest form and the director achieves this by following a very unique yet effective style, in this style, we can find plenty of components that make this movie of the greatest Hollywood movies ever made.

Kubrick employs all techniques of humor but most notably black humor, parody, and irony. Each character is employed to be the amplified version of their real-world counterparts. Americans are military cowboys, Russians are haughty drunks, scientists are insane, and the only woman in the film happens to be a sexy secretary. Regarding the culture of nuclear threat that was present during the time of this film, the characters were necessarily exaggerated to satirize the political dynamics permissible by the

Vince Vaughn is quite good Sgt. Howell, the typical drill sergeant role. He pulls off the blustery character with aplomb. Luke Bracey is excellent as Smitty Ryker, Doss’ main antagonist and eventual friend, showing an impressive range of emotions. Lastly, and most surprisingly, Sam Worthington is pretty good as Capt. Glover, portraying a no-nonsense attitude that turns into genuine pathos

In Cold Blood by Truman Capote is a novel that explains the history of a family murder through two characters perspective. Capote unravels each character through the concept of juxtapose, which helps prevail the occurrence of events. Dick, is a very straight forward man that does not care about what others think. Whereas, Perry has a shy, conserved personality that is shown through transitions and details. Juxtapose effects the readers and characters as explained throughout the novel by comparing and contrasting two different characters opinions.Details are shown on every page and are illustrated in every sentence, which gives the reader the image. In Cold Blood represents the development of characters, juxtapose, transitions and details.

For this Case Study I chose fictional character Will Hunting from the award winning movie Good Will Hunting. Will Hunting was born in a poor region of south Boston, Massachusetts, an orphan, who lived with a very abusive alcoholic foster dad. As a kid, Will was subdued to frequent physical abuse by his foster dad, between getting beat with a wrench, and having cigarettes put out on him, Will dealt with a lot at a young age (James A. Frieden).

In Ken Kesey’s novel “One Flew Over the Cuckoo’s Nest”, the nurse Miss Ratched is a fine example of a realistic fictional villain. Possession of three key components is essential in identifying what makes Miss Ratched a villian. Motive is what drives the villain to commit the very acts that allow them to be considered evil in the first place, and often drive their entire being as a character. While they must possess motive, they must also have a sense of morals that coincides with their motives (typically evil, or distorted) and follow their moral compass in a way that often causes trouble for those around them. Additionally, a villain is frequently associated with their opposite; the hero who combats them. Kesey’s character perfectly aligns with these three categories of what makes a villain, and it is unquestionable that she is the villain of the novel.

Throughout Susie’s narration, we hear all of these horrible things about what Mr. Harvey has done, and how some of her family tries to investigate it, but just how much do we know?

Both men, McMurphy and Luke were turned into examples, much like Jesus Christ and left behind a legacy. Luke at the prison was cool without a doubt, motivating all the prisoners to follow his lead which attracted attention of the authority who believed that Luke had to be dealt with since he was getting out of line and also taking the other prisoners with him 'Thats my darling luke, grins like a baby bites like a gator' we see here in this qoute that dragline was one of many whose heart Luke won, dragline calls him 'darling' which shows how much luke is loved by his fellow prisoners and what a huge impact he has had on their personality. When McMurphy started popping the bubbles of the 'rabbits', making them realize that they had been ripped

In William Golding's novel Lord of The Flies he shows how evil exists inside of everyone, it is the situation a person finds themselves in allows evil to grow or be controlled. The three boys are an example of this. Jack who only thinks about himself he wants everything immediately which makes his evil grow. Ralph, however, thinks about others but at times can be selfish which can make his evil grow, but Ralph tries to keep his evil at bay. Simon on the other hand only thinks about others, he does not think about himself which stops his evil from arising. Therefore, control of the situation is control of evil self.

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.

Stranger Things is a Netflix original series that was released in 2016 and quickly became popular because of each exhilarating episode that individually depicted monsters, mad science, alternate realities, government conspiracies, loyalty, treachery, friendship, tragedy, sacrifice, and triumph. What’s unique about the series is that it not only follows the perspectives of kids, but it makes continuous references to earlier and popular movies and books. The Duffer Brothers, the producers of the series, do a tremendous job of not only making these references, but not completely stealing the writer's ideas and plots. In Tim Pratt’s “Stranger (Yet Oddly Familiar) Things, he strategically explains how Stranger Things was written to bring back nostalgic feelings from other movies and television shows people watched when they were children. This paper evaluates Tim Pratt’s opinions on the nostalgic moments Stranger Things presents to their audience in his review “Stranger (Yet Oddly Familiar) Things”, as well as explanations on why newer TV shows and movies are not copying older movies and books, but referencing them in a way to gain an audience and pave the way for better entertainment. Stranger Things, as Pratt explains, includes references from the works of Stephen King, John Carpenter, James Cameron, and Steven Spielberg with an eighties twist. The series depicts an individual, named Eleven, who has strange powers and experiences flashbacks, much

Throughout Victor Hugo’s Les Misérables, the character Jean Valjean, the Patron-Minette, and Gavroche have a lot in common. What defines them as people, though, are their actions in life and the actions of others. Hugo emphasizes how the lack of those things (education and kindness) leads to criminal ways and an ungratified way of life. No one has shown them affection or kindness which leads them to believe society is mean and they develop hatred towards it. Not one of them were educated, which leads to ignorance and a lack of opportunities in life, which leads to crime in the long run.

    One of the most relevant criteria of the film is the presence of unique emotional paradoxes. The lead character Benjamin Button, actor Brad Pitt, faces many unique emotional obstacles as he ages completely opposite of the world around him. When he is a young boy, Button takes on the appearance of an eighty year old man in a wheelchair unable to walk. As
