Third Man Corruption

Film Noir was extremely trendy during the 1940’s. People were captivated by the way it expresses a mood of disillusionment and indistinctness between good and evil. Film Noir have key elements; crime, mystery, an anti-hero, femme fatale, and chiaroscuro lighting and camera angles. The Maltese Falcon is an example of film noir because of the usage of camera angles, lighting and ominous settings, as well as sinister characters as Samuel Spade, the anti-hero on a quest for meaning, who encounters the death of his partner but does not show any signs of remorse but instead for his greed for riches.

In the movie Chinatown, the example of greed leading up to corruption is demonstrated when Cross’s scheme was intact. He was creating a large drought, in the valley. He wanted the land in the valley devalued, due to this drought. From that point, Cross wanted to “fix” the drought he created and sell the valley land for triple of what he paid for. Hollis Mulwray, who was married to Evelyn, found out about this plan. Cross wanted to shut him up before he can run off and tell anyone. The best way to shut anyone up is by murdering the person, “ESCOBAR: ...she hired you, and that's how you found out he (Mulwray) was murdered. GITTES: I heard it was an accident. ESCOBAR: C'mon Gittes, you think you're dealing with a bunch of assholes? Mulwray had salt water in his lungs!” (01:42:20). The speculation from that point was that Evelyn was the killer, not Cross. This brings the audience to believe that Evelyn was a killer and wanted revenge, so she sought out and killed her husband. This fact also proves that Mulwray’s death was a homicide and not an accident, as first predicted.

Corruption occurs in all walks of life, for example, incorporations, businesses and even school districts. For instance our local school district has been accused of accepting bribes for their own personal gain. The El Paso School District shoes one insurance company over another without thinking of the welfare of others. With this in mind, the pigs would purposely withhold information in order not to get everybody’s input in a situation for the betterment of all. Once corruption is exposed that’s when you have outrage, mistrust and uneasiness in the system. A specific similarity between the superintendent of the El Paso School District and the pigs on “Animal Farm”. The pigs used Ethos, Pathos and Logos to deceive the other animals on the farm The animals were easily manipulated because they were not so educated, they were easily lied and tricked to in thinking the

Italian Neorealism was a movement of art, which strived to illustrate the normal lives of the ordinary, working class people in post war Rome, usually with the use of non-professional actors. As one of the best Italian Neorealist film, Bicycle Thieves showed an absolute depiction of the war’s impact on daily life and exposed a world in which sufferings, unkindness and corruption jeopardized the rationality of human beings and action of men (Schoonover). By utilizing a depressing and gloomy cinematography, De Sica implies the somber lives of the poor and their crisis in losing their self-identity and moral conscience as a result of parochial society that make a fetish of personal belongings as a mode of social acceptance. By examining the cinematography, ‘mise-en-scene’ and events in the film, the daily struggles of the working class in post war Rome can be seen through the crisis of masculinity, class struggle, ethical dilemma and a profoundly patriarchal society.

First, he convinces Daniel that he is a business consultant that will help him to get the Cultural Center sign contract because he has connections, or rather, Guanxi. In this first instance, Peter's corruption is demonstrated in the way he presents himself.

Peter states that when he first arrived in China he overcompensated his image because the Chinese expect "you to be a rich
