Spirited Away By Hayao Miyazaki

The movie, Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon, is a historical fiction. It occurs some time in China under a dynasty. Some of the events that happened in this movie relate to some of the material that we covered in class. One event that happened was when Jen and her family travels through the desert and were attacked by Lo and his Dark Cloud on horses. In my interpretation, I believe that Lo and his gang of bandits, displayed some similarities to The Mongols. As seen in the movie, they rode and fought on horses, were nomadic, and lived by raidings, which are things that Mongols are known for. They use horses for mobility and height against their enemies. When Lo and Jen are in Lo’s cave, he assumes that she is part of a Han dynasty, but she corrects

Another character development showed an example in the move, “Spirited Away” when Master Haku, a boy in the spirit world who assisted Chihiro seemed as though he couldn’t be trusted; however, the scene flipped where Haku was shown as a loving caring person. Additionally, in “Ponyo” an example was also shown of Sosuke, a little boy helping Ponyo when she was trapped in a jar; at first, the way the director depicted that scene, it seemed as if the boy was going to hurt Ponyo which turned out not to be the case, that he too, like Haku was a loving caring human being. From the narrator’s point of view all of the characters looked suspicious, that some of them needed something; towards the end of the movies, the audiences could tell that the director was trying to alter the human perceptions.

Influence is the capacity or power of persons to produce an effect on the actions of others. Victor Flemming, the director of the 1939 film The Wizard of Oz, depicts a message that revolves around the reversal of power and gender roles. Moreover, Dorothy is a child in her physical presence but lives the role of a hero as she leads the scarecrow, lion, and tin man to the Wizard himself. Through the archetypes such as the hero being a women, Cultural values, and the stages of the journey, Flemming raises the argument that in this case those who don 't have much influence in society are very influential in the Emerald City.

Dirty Dancing (Emile Ardlino, 1987) and Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon (Ang Lee, 2000) are two beautifully choreographed movies whose plot shares little similarity but has in common the concept of a duet between two clashing personalities. Both movies are about inherently different things but at closer inspection they appear to do the same as two characters flow and move around the other becoming a complicated duet of motion and fluidity. In one movie Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon, Shu Lien and Jen Yu, both experienced warriors battle it out in the courtyard of Beijing fighting over the over the ownership of the Green Destiny. In Dirty Dancing it is not until the final scene that we finally see the full potential and dynamic between Baby

The founder of psychoanalysis, Sigmund Freud, developed a wide variety of psychoanalytic theories that are often used to analyze a diverse body of literary and artistic works. An example being, the Family Romance theory. It is an abnormal state of mind a child enters during the pre-pubescent stage. It consists of the child fantasizing that they are not the biological son or daughter of their parents. This occurs when a parent fails to reciprocate affection to their child; consequently, urging them to seek retaliation through imaginary means. The Family Romance theory explains the cultural phenomenon behind children detaching themselves from their parents in order to gain independence. It is a psychological concept featured within the family dynamic of Guillermo del Toro's 2006 film ‘Pan's Labyrinth’. ‘Pan's Labyrinth’ depicts the aftermath of the Spanish Civil War through the eyes of Ophelia, an innocent child, and the magical realm she comes across in the woods. In the film, it is Ophelia's lack of a father figure, rivalry between

One of the reoccurring events that takes place in the beginning of the book include Harry 's desire to hear from his friends. He has gone a couple of months without receiving word, or owl post, from any of his fellow wizards. He is reminded several times that he seems to have no outside friendship from his home. With his encounter with Dobby, the house elf, Harry cannot help but feel left out and unwanted. This feeling is added to by the hatred that his foster family, the Dursley 's, share for him. Dudley, Harry 's cousin, basically rubs the fact that Harry has no letters from his friends in his face. To add to Harry 's unease and loneliness, is the fact that Harry 's birthday has arrived with no more

“I became insane, with the long intervals of horrible sanity”, Edgar Allan Poe. Madness is characterized by “the state of being mentally ill”, otherwise known as insanity. Twisted Fate, written by Norah Olson, and the book/movie The Shining, written by Stephen King and directed by Stanley Kubrick, are both examples of how the main characters fall into madness.

In this case, the relevant parties are Bilbo Baggins acting as plaintiff, and Orc Industries Corporation acting as defendant. This case originates from the dismissal of Baggins as an employee of Orc Industries in May 2007 under the grounds of dishonesty and for coming to work under the influence of alcohol. Orc Industries hired Baggins in December 2006 to assist in the construction of a foundry. After organizing agreements with unions and contractors, Baggins was accused by Orc Industries for arriving at work drunk, citing an empty whiskey bottle found in his desk as evidence. The main issue in this case is Orc Industries terminated Baggin’s employment without just cause. It is stated in the law that, “If an employer alleges they had cause for the dismissal, the burden is on them to prove that there was just cause” (Ministry of Labour). The definition of just cause is described as “the conduct that amounts to a fundamental breach of the employment contract”, which in this case there was a lack of sufficient evidence to support that any breach of the contract had occurred (Canada Legal). Orc Industries claims that the empty bottle of whiskey is sufficient proof, although this is not conclusive evidence that Baggins was ever drunk at work and thus is not sufficient grounds for terminating his employment (DuPlessis et al, 2013). Since Orc Industries did not fulfill their burden of proof for just cause to dismiss Baggins, Baggins can successfully sue Orc Industries for wrongful

‘The Grand Budapest Hotel’ (Wes Anderson, 2014) combines a perfect mix of nostalgia and history. The film explores the themes of war as it recreates history through mise-en-scene. Anderson also incorporates other themes such as racism and elitism during pre-war Europe. The film widely explores Europe from many viewpoints, one of which is of Mr Moustafa. His nostalgia is seen through flashbacks of when he was a lobby boy that went by the name of Zero. As an audience the depth of his nostalgia is seen through mise-en-scene. With the help of cinematography and props we see can see the time and place that Moustafa acknowledges. Anderson shows how history is reimagined through ones nostalgia. Mr Moustafa recalls events, which he was not present in yet he explains them as if he were there. This also shows how one reimagines history from another due to emotions and personal attachment. Despite the outcome being the same there are many viewpoints it can be seen from.
