The Nightmare before Christmas had a couple of issues that needed to be address before improving the takeover of Christmas. There are four serious issues that occurred in order of importance. Firstly, Jack had no clear vision. What vision he did have, he was incapable of communicating it clearly. When Jack tried to explain ``Jolly`` his team was unsure of the definition and they went back to their original core values by creating ghoulish toys for Christmas.

In the film Christmas Vacation, there is a hilarious scene when Clark Griswold “played by Chevy Chase” and his family are out finding the perfect Christmas tree. They come across what Clark believes to be the family tree, but the family worries about the tree being too big. Clark reassures them that the tree isn’t big, it’s just full. Rusty worries about the tree not fitting anywhere, Clark tells Rusty the tree is not going to go anywhere but in Griswold’s living room.

The Marxism critic can be defined as the differentiation between social and economics statuses between individuals and society. In How the Grinch Stole Christmas, the Grinch represents the lower class and symbolizes the struggle people endure during the season. The citizens of Whoville represent the upper class and symbolize the rich who are pampered. The Grinch found bitterness during this time because the upper class was able to afford the food, the presents, and the decorations.
In its infant stages, Halloween was simply a concept - and that concept was about a babysitter who is stalked by the boogeyman. John Carpenter made the comment “We are all afraid of the same things… so that makes a movie that deals in our fears, universal.” Irwin Yablans (executive producer to Halloween) came up with the title for the film and set the stage for the babysitter, the boogeyman, and the darkest holiday of the year. John Carpenter (director / co-writer / music composer) and Debra Hill (script supervisor) went to Moustapha Akkad and requested the funds to create this film. Moustapha had not previously entered into the horror genre prior to this venture. When John pitched the idea to him, he was intrigued and pulled in with the mention of the “babysitter” so he agreed to finance

The Nightmare Before Christmas originated in a poem written by Tim Burton in 1982 that was later published October 13, 1993 as a film with his original hopes of making “The Nightmare Before Christmas” a short film turned out to be a smashing hit out of his many films. Tim Burton's films often show mysterious worlds filled with wonder and horror that bring us to see the world in new ways that we never knew. In this film just like many other of Burton’s films the character is searching to find a new meaning to their life, or even going out of the way to make their life better by filling the empty void by finding a certain something or someone. What begins to puzzle the reader or viewer is when confusion comes up on who the bad guy or monster is in reality.
Sigmund Freud believed that personality consists of three parts: the id, which is motivated by desire and looks for immediate satisfaction; the ego, which deals with rational decisions; and the superego, which makes moral judgments (Acacio). This is psychoanalysis, which can be used to analyze The Grinch Who Stole Christmas by Dr. Seuss. According to Freud, the mind consists of only the id when we grow up. As we age, we transform part of the id into the ego and superego (Acacio). In the case of the Grinch, he grew up in a situation where, due to his isolation, he had no one to guide, reprimand, or praise him. He had no influences in his life. In the poem, there is a line that states, “It could be his head wasn’t screwed on just right.” (Seuss
Halloween is a horror film released in 1978 directed by John Carpenter who also produced escape from New York and Starman. The film stars Jamie Lee Curtis who stared in The Fog another famous horror film and Donald Pleasence who was in the Great Escape. Halloween was distributed by Compass International Pictures who also released horror films such as Hell Night and Blood Beach. Halloween is a typical 1970s horror film, I think this because the font in the titles looks dated and the images are grainy, unlike the the highly polished images and high tech devises used in films today. The pumpkin in the beginning titles has been used to represent Halloween.
Halloween is about Michael Myers, he was around eleven or twelve when he killed his sister, the sister’s boyfriend, and the stepfather. While that was happening, his mother was coming home from her last day of work, she was a stripper. Michael had a soft spot for his baby sister, so he didn’t kill her, his mother found him and the baby on the house steps. Then it showed reporters at the house with people carrying out the dead bodies, which was sad to see the mother crying and screaming. He was sent to a facility or something. There must have been a reason on why he killed and what if there were signs that showed that he would become a killer. Many, but not all, serial killers suffered some kind of trauma in their childhood. Childhood trauma played a key role in the lives of numerous serial killers. Halloween is a representation of a serial killer’s possible childhood experiences that affected their future.
Every year millions of kids get dressed up, knock on doors, and beg for candy. With Halloween just around the corner, you all are probably wondering where this strange tradition came from. Every year I have experienced this holiday and have done research on this topic. According to a 2014 Smithsonian.com article, stated by Natasha Geiling, in just one year Americans spent over six billion dollars on candy, costumes, and ghoulish decor in anticipation for Halloween. Many people think all Halloween is about dressing up and going trick or treating but there's more to it than that. The roots and variations from all around are what makes Halloween what it is today. In order to understand this holiday, we will go into the history of Halloween, how it's celebrated around the world, and superstitions revolving it.
I agree that Bryan bringing coherence to everything that is going on allows him to adequately prove that his clients are innocent. Also, his coherence allows him to clearly explain the whole process of him trying to free his clients so that they can be as cooperative as possible. If he is able to clearly explain what he needs from his clients and their side of the story his chances of getting them off of death row is dramatically increased. Furthermore, Bryan must make coherence out of his client's stories so that he can make sense of what is going on and what happened so that he can do all that he can to get his clients off of death row. In short, Bryan must have coherence with everything he does in order to successfully do his job.
Mary shook with a forceful hand on the door. She started screaming for others to come and help her! The raging crowd kept pushing to get in and suddenly everything went in slow motion. She saw the angry protesters banging on the thick glass door and her co-workers frantically calling 911. A gunshot woke her from her daze and in the distance, sirens could be heard. Mary still couldn’t believe that all of this started with a little girl.
Marxism is a method of socioeconomic analysis. This theory includes the belief of struggle by class, indicating those of higher class have more power. Marxism views the aspects of socialism in regards to capitalism, in the belief that eventually all capitalist society’s will become socialist society’s. Dr.Seuss’s, The Grinch Who Stole Christmas, is a great example of Marxism. This poem was published in the decade of the 50’s, the time that Christmas was becoming a commercialized event following Santa Claus becoming the new face of the Christmas edition Coca Cola advertisements. Reading the poem there are strong elements that distinctly tell the reader that it’s the Who, who have all the power and are of higher class in comparison to the Grinch.
For decades, images of the ideal sexualized female body have plagued covers of magazines and other forms of published media in the United States, perpetuating notions of what the sexual female body should look like (Krassas, Blauwkamp and Wesselink 2001). These images of the sexualized female body are deeply embedded in advertisements and media, both of which hold strong roots in the United States, as well as other comparable countries in the developed world (Baker 2005). It is estimated, that the average citizen of the United States is subjected to roughly 3,000 advertisements a day (Baker 2005). Therefore, the idea that the messages these advertisements send would permeate our thoughts and beliefs towards an object or certain demographic of people is not far fetched (Baker 2005). The idea that images of women are depicted in published media in a way that suggests that they are objects to satisfy the sexual desire of the male gaze is by no means novel (Baker 2005). However, the impact that these representations have on the sexuality of female bodies who do not fit into these idealized images is a topic less frequently discussed. Specifically, a common belief and misconception is that the pregnant body is one whose sexuality is viewed in a negative context, especially when it comes to reproductive functions such as breast-feeding (Huntley 2000). These bodies are often viewed as grotesque, and sexuality surrounding the pregnant body is frequently deemed as “offensive”, and
