“I took no poetic license with ‘Schindler’s List’ because that was historical, factual documents” - Steven Spielberg. Schindler’s List, directed by Steven Spielberg, is a historically accurate portrayal of the actions carried out by Nazi businessman Oskar Schindler, who doesn't hesitate to exploit Jewish slave labour in his factory.

This paints McMurphy as a savior to the ward just like Jesus was a savior to the world. Many occur throughout the story are symbols of events that happened in the story of Christ.

One Flew Over The Cuckoo's Nest is essentially novel about how the patients' of a mental hospital lives are affected by a new admission named Randle Patrick McMurphy or "Mac" and his actions. Randle McMurphy is a Christ figure in this novel. As Thomas C. Foster states in. How To Read Literature Like A Professor, “No literary Christ figure can ever be as pure, as perfect, as divine as Jesus Christ.” (Foster 129); but it is hard to believe that a man with a history of getting into brawls and arrests for assault, battery, rape, and gambling has the potential to be a Christ figure. However, Jesus and McMurphy have a lot more in common than one may believe. Jesus is commonly associated

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.

Mise-en-Scene Analysis The scene I will be analyzing is from the film The Wolf of Wall Street. Specifically, I will be discussing a scene at the beginning of the film when the coked-out businessman Mark Hanna (Matthew McConaughey) plying Jordan Belford (Leonardo DiCaprio) with advice about Wall Street during a lunch meeting. The mise en scene of

‘I look at it every day and every day it gives me pleasure. Their art is what they leave behind. And art matters because it changes the way we see ourselves in the world. It shows the next generation who we were. It’s important and long lasting.’

Jesus of Nazareth was a beautiful movie recapping the life of Jesus Christ. This film had no bareness, no vulgarity, and no sex scenes. It was ideal for both the young and the older audiences. I do not recall anything that may have gone against the word of God. Jesus of Nazareth embellished the birth, life, ministry, death and resurrection of Jesus Christ. It remained true to the four New Testament Gospels of Matthew, Mark, Luke and John.

In this chapter Howard Thurman talks about dealing with the teaching and the life of Jesus of Nazareth. Mr. Thurman talks about how he was a minister of color and how hard it could get sometimes. One thing that really got my attention is the point that he was making about how sometimes your back is against the wall. I think God put Jesus in a perfect place for his birth so he could help the people who did not have anything the ones who need help with their health and other things.

Gattaca is a soft Sci Fi movie that is centered around one main character, and his story, rather than the technology featured in the film. Vincent dreams to go to space, and with the help of Jerome, Vincent can reach his goal. As one watchers Gattaca many aspects of film are used and the combination of sound, shot selections, and lighting creates the movie world we know as Gattaca. The sounds of Gattaca are for the most part silenced, what one would think to be loud is some what dumbed down, or muffled, This makes the mise en scene darker, and mysterious.

Citizen Kane made cinematic advances on many fronts, and its most significant contribution to cinematography came from the use of a technique known as deep focus. Deep focus refers to having everything in the frame, even the background, in focus at the same time, as opposed to having only the people and things in the foreground in focus. The deep focus technique requires the cinematographer to combine lighting, composition, and type of camera lens to produce the desired effect. With deep focus, a filmmaker can showcase overlapping actions, and mise-en-scène (the physical environment in which a film takes place) becomes more critical. Effectively manipulating the mise-en-scène for deep focus actively engages the whole space of the frame without

This passage illuminates the primary message of repentance. In this passage, it was a time where Jesus reminded his people of when the tower at Siloam fell, and how if you do not repent, you will die. In the passage it says, “those eighteen people who were killed when the tower at Siloam fell on them—do you think they were more guilty than everyone else who lived in Jerusalem?” (Luke 13:4). In this verse, Jesus explains to us the need to repent. Jesus tells us the primary significance of what he saying by asking rhetorical questions, and reiterates the message of repentance. We are supposed to learn to repent for our sins, so Jesus can forgive us. Through repentance we can free ourselves from sin and learn from our mistakes.

In our culture today we misunderstand the characters of Jesus because we are a selfish generation of people and we only think of ourselves. In Hollywood they like to have things to catch people’s eye, even if it is completely wrong they will still release it and stick the label on it saying that it is based on the real deal or on a true story. Yet when you actually watch the movie then read the book or the written event you realize that the movie is nothing like what the movie claimed/portrayed. This is because if the movie making companies had done the actual story their audience would get bored and wouldn’t find it at all interesting and the company wouldn’t profit. There for the companies take books like the bible and make movies of it and
