I initially chosen the movie Guardians of the Galaxy so I can elaborate on what is my favorite superhero film of all time. Being highly rated among other superhero movies, as well as containing an indie vibe, it happens to contain many aspects of film that creates a marvelous movie. Guardians of the Galaxy is an innovative movie in the superhero genre, because it has quirky story, but it somehow brings crazy comedy, middle-aged music, and of course the action-packed fun. I believe this film was a revolutionary idea in the genre and industry. From special effects to music, Guardians of the Galaxy packs a punch with the elements and techniques of a great production, which is why I chose to write about it. I was very confident in choosing Guardians of the Galaxy due to the film aspects of sound, special effects, and the narrative.

Written in the late 1800’s, Joseph Conrad’s Heart of Darkness is a novella about one man’s travel into the Congo Free State by way of the Congo River. The title “Heart of Darkness” actually holds two different meanings. Heart of Darkness is both a metaphor for a psychological “dark side” of man, and an allusion to Africa. The title suggests both a physical and mental reference.

1. Does Conrad really "otherize," or impose racist ideology upon, the Africans in Heart of Darkness, or does Achebe merely see Conrad from the point of view of an African? Is it merely a matter of view point, or does there exist greater underlying meaning in the definition of racism?

Stephen King’s Under the Dome presents a unique story that is both thought provoking and entertaining. The introduction of the dome creates compelling social dynamics that would otherwise not have been possible. In many ways the dome is a microcosm of earth complete with its own conflicts, environmental disasters, and just about every social issue imaginable. The alien entities were equally thought provoking. From their perspective humans were nothing more than ants to be toyed with. They had no empathy or compassion, only pity. Julia Shumway’s interaction with the entity causes an introspective evaluation on how we treat other people.

In every epic journey there are a series of events which the hero must go through if he is to become the ultimate hero. One of the most important parts in the epic journey is the descent into darkness or hell. Hell is a place where the hero travels to a dark place to learn about himself or to find very key information about his quest. However there is one common theme. The theme is the hero learns some valuable lessons. He or she learns how the underworld helps him to achieve the symbolic death and rebirth. The epic hero must go through his journey alone to hell because he/she must learn to suffer. The hero emerges from this experience and becomes the ultimate hero.

The reflection of the uncreated in the created necessarily presents itself under diverse aspects, and even under an indefinite variety of aspects, each of which has about it something whole and total, so that there are a multiplicity of visions of the cosmos, all equally possible and legitimate in so far as they spring from the universal and immutable principles.

A specific example of subjection in the movie version of Fifty Shades of Gray is when Anastasia enters Christians “Playroom” for the first time. The room is full of sexual toys used in Bondage sex. It is here, that Christian outlines to Anastasia the sexual roles each of them will play during the bondage. He expresses to Anastasia that he is the “dominant”; thus, he has full control and power over her, whilst she must play the “submissive”, the one receiving the sex. Furthermore, he outlines that because this is bondage there is no romance, and that being the submissive she must not touch or make eye contact with him. Anastasia’s job is to solely focus on the pain she will feel throughout her body. Ultimately, she becomes distressed by all
