Non-Diegetic Techniques In The Film Sleeping

During the dawn of the Second World War, a new era began for women across America. As men departed to fight the war, women were left to fill their void in the workplace. Familiar role models such as “Rosie the Riveter” radiated strength and know-how traits historically emphasized only in men. As woman’s role in society broadened, new visions of attractiveness developed to accommodate this unprecedented aspect of femininity. Raymond Chandler’s portrayal of women in The Big Sleep (1939) highlights these changes in social construction of female sexuality and appeal in the setting of a male dominated society.

Sleep—it's what divides the day and the night; the conscious and the subconscious; the aware and the unaware. It's image, then, is a powerful tool for polarizing such extremes. In his trilogy, The Oresteia, Aeschylus utilizes sleep imagery to divide between those who are aware and those who aren't. Though sleep's meaning changes throughout the plays, Clytaemestra is always able to use it to her aid. Her story accompanies a shift in a justice system that defines right and wrong. Throughout the trilogy, the meaning of sleep evolves from a clear division into a more indefinite one as the definition of right and wrong becomes increasingly ambiguous.

Shelly’s mom, bewildered, asked Shell’s grandmother what was wrong. “She’s cold Jacki,” LaBeta told her. “Put a heavy blanket on her, and she’ll sleep through the night. ” Sure enough, Shell slept ‘like a baby’ through the rest of her infancy. To this day she still likes to curl up under a thick blanket.

The twenty-first century poses as an evolutionary revolution for young offenders. Barry Levinson’s Oscar nominated film Sleepers discloses many of the frailties previously encompassed within the youth justice system, shedding insight on the lack of legislative review.

In contrast to zero-tolerance policies enforced within the film, the establishment of the Youth Criminal Justice Act (YCJA) in 2003 provides a structural framework that enhances

According to Oxford’s dictionary, deception is the use of trickery or cheating to deliberately cause (someone) to believe something that is not true, especially for personal gain. But many people seldom lie to others for no reason at all, so there is a motivation, a lasting feeling to pressure them in wanting to do that and a lasting impact. Throughout Chandler’s The Big Sleep and Ford’s The Man Who Shot Liberty Valance, there is a direct link to the theme of motivation to the ultimate impact to deceive others where characters deceive for the greater good, personal gain and to strengthening relationships.

In The Big Sleep, Chandler portrays Marlowe as the knight in shining armor. This establishes a motif of the stained glass window in General Stern wood’s home in the first chapter of the novel and is an appropriate motif in dictating Marlowe’s knightly role in the novel. The stained glass that is reflected in the novel places Marlowe in the position of the knight as it shows a knight who strives to reach a woman to set her free. The fact that he stares at the glass makes him develop the need to offer assistance. This motif is suitable because it sets the stage for what is to take place in the aftermath when Marlowe rescues Carmen. Secondly, Chandler tries to connect Marlowe with the knightly personality from the beginning of the novel that he intended to name his detective the modern knight and a brave man fighting for General Sternwood. He takes the role of the servant to Sternwood’s lord and therefore, in the knightly terms, it is sufficient to say that Marlowe is striving to find justice. Moreover, he is dedicated to rendering his services in the line of duty with much loyalty and honor despite the sexual and financial temptations that come his way. Like the ancient knights, Marlowe has deeply invested in his personal code of chivalry that contain among others, the need to overcome the sexual temptation of whatever magnitude that comes his way. Lastly, as a representation of the modern-day knight, Marlowe comes out in the novel as a tough detective and a brave individual
