I. INTRODUCTION While several of his works dwell considerably on voyeurism, Hitchcock’s 1954 film Rear Window addresses it most directly. Not only does the film comment explicitly on ‘rear window ethics’, it also forces audiences to identify with the characters who violate them. No character in Rear Window is morally clean, and through several cinematic techniques, Hitchcock compels viewers to sympathize with nearly all of them. More than anything, Rear Window is a film about the audience’s complicity with ethically imperfect characters and their ethically imperfect behavior. This is particularly evident in two climactic scenes. The first scene creates a close identification with L.B. Jefferies, the main character and principal voyeur

Director and producer Harold Ramis filmed the infamous movie, Groundhog Day, a film based on an arrogant weatherman named Phil that detests Punxsutawney where groundhogs day is held but must relive this day for what feels like an eternity. Viewing this movie from a philosophical standpoint, the viewer can relate Phil to Siddhartha, the founder of Buddhism. Phil is similar to Buddha because he experiences the three marks of reality, and the four noble truths. Using a philosophical view the audience can see how in order not dwell on the past or dream of the future and individual must concentrate on the present.

Shot in the Dark Did you know that “over 40% of American would move if if someone of another race was there neighbors” (Becker n.pag)? This is because people can not accept change in the way that they live. It is sad to see people not be able to accept people for who they are. Society needs to move away from these habits of judging people by how they look with out knowing what kind of a person they really are. Although racism has been reduced, people of color are still judged unfairly when the community is not ready for change or they grew up that way and when people think they are better than everyone.

Your general thoughts on the film. This documentary takes a profound look at the nuisance and complexities of rising tuitions and ballooning student debt. I found this film to be both enlightening and disheartening at the same time. As Andrew Rossi pulls back the veil and exposes the deterioration, destruction, and dismantlement of higher education, the outlook and sustainability seems dismal. I too share some of the growing concerns and criticisms expressed by the students in the documentary. By and large the American consumer trusts colleges. Higher education is a public service organization that historically and unfortunately is not accustomed to answering to the public. The American consumer and tax payer trusts colleges. However The film sheds light on some not so commonly known facts to the lay person or outsider. Some major take-a-ways for me were:

Creek! Crack! Boom! The window shatters into thousands of pieces spraying razor sharp shards of glass everywhere, I realized that I was in big trouble. A few hours earlier on that mid July day we were getting ready to go outside.

The point of view is first person. It helps the readers connect with the protagonist more. The advantage to this point of view is that it’s like a direct link between the reader and the protagonist, the reader gets to hear the thought of the narrator and see the story through the narrator’s eyes. It like the reader is personally experiencing the events that unfolds in the book and it creates an intimacy.

Is love a capability unique to humans, or are there no restrictions? And if there are no restrictions, what determines whether that love can last? “Her” is a quirky, truly 21st century story that breaks barriers by asking not who, but rather what we can love. Set in Los Angeles in the unspecified near future, Theodore, a lonely writer in the midst of a divorce, stumbles into an unprecedented romance with his Operating System, Samantha. The film raises scientific, philosophical, and even moral questions, while never straying from its true purpose, which is to examine not only the way we love, but the way we interact with other people in a world that seems to rely more and more on technology to function. Writer and Director Spike Jonze invites the audience to have open-mind and undergo an individual exploration to these questions through the eyes of the characters. The film showcases the infusion of technology into our lives and the challenges it creates for the way we look at the world.

Liam O’Flaherty is the author of this short story The Sniper. I enjoyed reading this short story very much. The main character in this story is a Republican sniper, and throughout the story calmly stares into the face of death. This story takes place in Dublin, Ireland, where the Republicans are waging civil war against the Free Staters. In this story our Sniper is having a possibly lethal conflict with another sniper across the street. The other sniper has him pinned down on the rooftop. Unable to do anything at the moment, the sniper has to quickly come up with something, or his situation may cost him his life. Quickly, he comes up with a clever plan. He is able to defeat his foe, barely escaping with his life. He hurries over to the body, eager to see the face of the man he has just killed. After after turning it over, he is astonished to be staring into the face of his brother. The sniper displayed smarts, courage, but also remorse.
