Review Of The Movie 'Ordinary World'

In the beginning of the myth, Perseus’ grandfather, King Acrisius, was told by a priestess that his daughter would have a son and that her son would kill him. So Acrisius goes out of his way to rid himself of his daughter. He locks her in a castle in hopes that she won’t come across other people and become pregnant. Once he finds out that his daughter does have a son, Perseus, he locks them

Perseus commences the quest ignorant to the perils and tribulations that lie ahead. Luckily, Hermes and Pallas Athena decide to

King Acrisius was king of Argos. He had an amazingly beautiful daughter, but he wished deeply for a son, so he prayed to the gods for them to give him a son. Apollo,the god of culture and prophecy, told him that he will never have a son in all his days and that the son of his daughter will slay him. Acrisius thinks of just killing his daughter,Danae, to prevent his prophecy, but fears of the punishment he will receive from the gods for this act, so he instead locks his daughter in an entirely bronze house and guards it closely. What he did not expect is for the king of the gods Zeus to come directly to his daughter and impregnate her. From this comes a son named Perseus. When Acrisius learns of his daughter's offspring, he puts both Perseus and Danae in a trunk and sets it off into the ocean. By luck or by the will of Zeus Perseus and Danae wash up onto a small island, where a kind hearted fisherman named Dictys takes in the two strangers. They live contently with Dictys until Dictys' brother, King Polydectes, fell in love with Danae. He decides to construe a plot to get rid of her son,Perseus, so that he can have her. The plan he comes is to convince Perseus to go and slay the woman-beast Medusa. He thinks this feat impossible by a mortal man, because any man who lays eyes upon her turns to stone. To aid him on his quest Hermes gives him a sword stronger than that of Medusa's scale. He also told him he would need equipment from the nymphs of the north, who's location was unknown by all except the Gray Women who are ray and live in gray.The three sisters share one eye between them all and

My opinion on the movie I watched, “The Outsiders” is that it was okay. I found some parts boring. There were some parts that was trying to be as emotional as the book and they looked very fake. The director of the movie was Francis Ford Coppola. The author of the book was S.E. Hinton. The Year the movie was made was 1983. The movie was about two gangs. The Socs and the Greasers. Two Greasers (Johnny and Ponyboy). A group of Socs jump them and Johnny is forced to kill one to save his friend from drowning. Johnny and Ponyboy run from the law to a small town named Windrixville. They soon become heros.

Written and directed by American director and writer, Terrence Malick, The New World depicts the foundation of Jamestown, the story of John Smith, and their relationships with Pocahontas. The film stars Collin Farrell as John Smith, Q'orianka Kilcher as Pocahontas, Christopher Plummer as Captain Newport, and Christian Bale as John Rolfe. Produced by Sarah Green, the film received strong positive reviews for its cinematography, score, and young 15 year old Q'orianka Kilcher’s performance as Pocahontas. (Boehm 1-5)

Two boys, Johnny and Ponyboy, are our valiant heroes. Not even over the age of 18, two boys rescued 5 young children, who were no older than 8-years old. While bystanders watched and worried, only 2 from the crowd had courage to go save the children. They gallantly sprinted in a run as soon they heard children screaming in a burning church. According to our sources, Ponyboy was supposed to be in a boys’ home because his parents died when he was little. Instead of sent to a boys’ home, he was allowed stayed with his older brothers and they are his guardians, and they all stay together as long as they don’t do anything transgressive. A previous hearing at court confirms Ponyboy is not on the borderline of going

put up against trials due to his dishonor to the god Poseidon. This the plot of the of

When I first viewed this movie, I already knew some of Jackie Robinson’s history, but I was still moved by this revealing depiction of his life during the years 1945-1947. This true story, which was released April 12, 2013, followed what I had learned about Jackie and stayed accurate while still being extremely entertaining. Jackie Robinson’s number on his jersey was 42, he wore that number his entire Major League career with the Brooklyn Dodgers. The movie “42” is a biopic of the legendary baseball player Jackie Robinson, when in 1947 Jackie became the first African-American player to break Major League Baseball’s color barrier. The great directing, acting, and writing made this film enjoyable to watch. This

In the movie “Ordinary People”, the Jarett family struggles to overcome the death of their son but lacks conflict management. Conflict management could have helped them to communicate and understand each other’s feeling to respond in a positive way. Conrad, Beth, and Calvin practice “silence” or “violence” by holding onto emotions and then later having them explode out of anger. The family could have resolved these problems by creating safety and contrasting emotions.

Within the myth of Perseus, the plot generally follows the structure of the archetypal hero’s journey. These aspects can be clearly identified throughout the lifetime of Perseus.

Perseus son of Zeus and Danae, grandson of king Acrisius of Argos was not wanted by the king due to the prophecy. Suddenly Baby Perseus and Danae are put into a chest and tossed to sea. With Zeus’ help, the chest is steered were a kind fisherman took them in on an island. An evil king on the island wants Danae, Perseus’ mom, to be his wife. Since Perseus was poor instead of giving gifts he gave his services to the king.

The Outsiders message is about “Nothing Gold Can Stay.” It explains that nothing good can go on forever and nothing young can last forever. It tells you about how and why we should enjoy what we have and keep and cherish everything we have to its maximum limit. Why shouldn’t we cherish what we have? Why do we need more? Why can't we be equally treated with same amount of things such as money and houses? That is the real question. We have that to this very day. In The Outsiders, their lives are exactly like this. They have their awesome rich people lives and the poor have unhappy lives. Some of each gang just want to be normal, the same, or similar at least. But their money splits them up. All because of a little extra

Jocasta and Lauis find out that it is prophesied that there child is going to kill Lauis, and sleep with Jocasta; because of this, they give their song to Thesus to be killed, though Thesus takes pitty on the small child and gives him to the king of Cornith to be raised. Then one day Lauis is killed at a crossroad out of the blue. Later on, a young man named Oedipus leaves Cornith because Tiresias, an oracle, tells him that he will end up killing his father, sleeping with his mother, and die a blinding death. Trying to escape the future, he leaves for a new town. On his way, he meets a man on a crossroad that is harassing him, and in self-defense he kills the man. Later ending up in Thebes. He falls in love with this beautiful queen, and soon

The story of Perseus begins with his mother Danae being impregnated by Zeus through the form of a golden shower. Danaes father, King Acrisius was told a prophecy by Apollo that Danae’s child would kill him. With the birth of Perseus a demigod (half god and half mortal) King Acrisius would set Danae and Perseus adrift on the vast ocean inside a chest, fearing for his own life. The chest would be caught by a fisherman named Dictys and would be brought to the island of Seriphos ruled by Dictys brother King Polydectes. (“Hamilton, 147”)

One of the major differences the director makes in the movie (dramatically differentiates it from the book) is the reason why Perseus goes on a mission. In the book, King Polydectes sets up a plan to get rid of Perseus by daring him a difficult task, to kill Medusa and bring back her head. Perseus is challenged to a tough venture and proves his braveness by taking on the bet. By killing the beast, Perseus provides a gesture of “gratitude” towards Polydectes because he has nothing else offer him since he is a servant. However, in the movie, Perseus must battle both Medusa and the Kraken in order to save Princess Andromeda and prevent her from being sacrificed. The director made this a great change in the movie because it portrays Perseus as a better classical, archetypal hero. Not only does it enhance Perseus’s heroic qualities, but it also demonstrates his maturity and humility, he is one of a kind. In the Clash of Clans, Perseus realizes he must
