After watching You the Living, my favorite scene was when there were dogs because it added a different energy to the scenes. In the scene with the raging woman and her husband, the dog felt fake and dead at first, but then it came alive. I think the dogs were the main attention grabber in both scenes. The dragging dog was very surreal, cruel and yet funny. When I saw the comment from Slant Magazine blog that Andersson’s vision is dark and satirical humor and not yet entirely hopeless, I thought of this dog scene because the dog was hopeless, but everyone was laughing. Throughout the whole scene, I was just trying to see if he actually dragged a real dog. However, I think another element that added to the comical side of this cruelty is the mechanical movement and the rhythm of the whine. Everything was so exact and robotic, yet realistic looking.
The scene with the guy playing the guitar and a moving exterior background became more fascinating after I watched the behind the scenes. The moving background was already awkwardly amazing when I watched the film, but the behind the scenes made me appreciate it more because they put in a lot of practice and preciseness. The behind the scene surprised me in many ways, especially when the city perspective was revealed as miniature 2D paintings hanging in different order. That was really unexpected and I’ve never seen this technique before. Additionally, when the behind the scenes revealed that Anderson painted his actors pale
Jocko, Jack, Maureen, Peeto, and Vanno are established as certain people in the beginning of the film, and Kriv Stenders, through red dog, has changed that. Red Dog is important to each character for a different reason, though equally important, and slowly, each character finds a way to be cheerful . Red Dog impacts them all through loyalty; he is a friend for everyone. Trust; Red Dog helps everyone in the community to trust each other. Lastly, friendship; through the film the community of Dampier become friends and are kinder to each other.
The short story, “Greedy Choke Puppy” by Nalo Hopkinson, is about the story of Grandmother and her granddaughter who are the soucouyant. The soucouyant is the monster of the myth of Caribbean who is night witch and blood sucker. In the “Greedy Choke Puppy”, author uses the literary elements of irony, foreshadowing, and allusion to support the development of the theme of greed because these elements help to explain that soucouyants’ greed makes soucouyants to throw their morality away.
The narrative structure of the story is fairly straightforward. The narrator is recounting an experience that happened to him at some point in the past. Along with the simple flow of the story, reflective details, and occasional scene, there are some significant techniques that Hansen uses to flesh out and add credibility to his story.
Sparking the target audience’s curiosity helps to achieve the purpose of the film, because once the audience’s interest becomes sparked they will be more inclined to listen and pay attention to the rest of the movie, since they will be intrigued to know the end result of what actually happened to John and Clarence Anglin. Curiosity is created in this documentary in both visual, and audio elements. Visually, the movement, angle, and lighting of the camera were immensely important. Most of the beginning portion was filmed from a low angle, so the audience felt as though they were looking up at the people and the scenery, which created a mood of authority, and caused the audience to become curious as to what these people knew, and made them want to pay attention to what they had to say. Also the camera was always moving during this portion of filming, which made the events seem very fast paced and intense, like the audience was in on a secret that nobody was allowed to know. Furthermore, the lighting of the scenery always had shadows in the background, if not completely dim, to create a mysterious and unknowing scenery. The audio also helped in creating a lurky mood, since the background music was always fast paced and intense, with low bass notes frequently occurring, to create the feeling as though you were in a horror movie, which makes the audience even more curious. These elements combined together made the audience both visually and auditorily
Finally, the 'camerawork' in the cutscenes, especially the second game, is very good. There is a particularly effective close-up of one character where it shows her face and a knife that she was going to use to kill herself, making both her expression and her intent clear in one shot. Another good piece of 'camerawork' is in a confrontation between two characters where the angle changes rapidly, making the whole thing feel disjointed, unnerving and surreal.
The far away of Lennie talking about how he gets to tend the rabbits is very exciting it makes you feel super happy and joyful. I liked how there was a lot of tension in the background music when Curley’s hand was getting crushed by Lennie and they zoomed in on the blood dripping down. The sound of crickets makes the scene a lot more peaceful and quiet. Creepy music during some of the scenes bring tension and also describes the setting. The racket of Curley hitting the punching bag explains why Curley’s Wife is lonely and is just sitting outside watching him. It also changes to more happy
Oh No Sue! We must never give up, and I'll always collaborate, with I can, to favour of those poor animals, it's only that sometimes I wonder if there's some way more effective to stop these abuses, I feel desperation when I see nothing stops to these people. The same applies respect to the bullfights in Spain, those people see the bulls as a business, therefore will be very difficult to stop them, if you could watch the discussions about this on Spanish Tv!, it's so evil how they think, that I think only a government decision could stop them, but it's a political risk that I don't know if somebody would want to take on, in addition, the previous king is an assiduous concurrent to bullfights ... how sad!. In Argentina we have what we called

In this movie when it opened, the story was strong with good audio and suspense. The characters start by running from men on horses with dogs and guns chasing them. It makes the watcher wonder why the two men are being chased. After the strong intro into the film the plot keeps on going into the wonderful well done movie that is “Of Mice And Men” The soundtrack went well along with the mood and expressed how the characters were feeling. The images from this movie were just incredible. Before many scenes there would be a zoomed out shot of the setting or a zoomed in shot on a character's face. The director did an incredible job of capturing the characters and the place they were in all throughout the movie. After the opening scenes into the
The overall work of Cervantes in the short story the “Dialogue of the Dogs” is very much a horatian or carnivalesque satire. Cervantes employs the use of a light-hearted joking tone, and continues throughout with the story leading from one extreme scenario to the next leading from a slaughter house at one point, to being a sheep-herding dog. However, there are portions of this novella that are heavier, and crueler, and a show a truer coloring of how Cervantes feels about some major discussion points issues. One of which is about a witch, and her characteristics that depict the rest of a skiving nature of the people surrounding her.
Also, the computer-generated graphics were breathtaking and the dialogue in this movie is simple, yet engaging. The movie definitely kept my attention with the captivating background music and epic battle scenes. The battle scenes were utterly amazing. I loved how the editors created gory slow motion scenes. The extensive amount of blood and decapitated heads were the centerpieces of these
I loved that when there was an explosion everything looked so realistic and broke in pieces. Then when they were singing everything came back together like magic. It was a cute and interesting setting. Also, the fact that the main setting was the downstairs of the house, but then when the construction was highered, the downstairs and the bedrooms upstairs were part of the stage.
Manbearpig: Half Man, Half Bear, Half Pig, but All Global Warming? South Park is a popular animated comedy series written by Trey Parker and Matt Stone. While the episodes of South Park are always humorous on the surface, each show usually has a deeper, much more profound meaning and moral. One episode of South Park entitled Manbearpig, named after the monster in the episode, has a particularly potent deeper meaning. On the surface, the episode pokes fun at monster stories, politics, and specifically Al Gore. Deeper down, however, this monster story can be read as a national allegory alluding to the dangers of global warming, the problems with the politics behind global warming, and the eventual doom we will all face
Another aspect of this film is that it is in black and white. This gives it a serious tone. The lighting they used also gave a dramatic effect. There is a scene where two gentlemen are talking but you can see Kane dancing in the reflection of the window. This reminds the audience that he is still important to the scene even though he isn't directly involved. This
There are many unique and innovative techniques used throughout the film. Some were sequencing which are different shots that represent purpose like flashbacks to another time period. Another that was interesting was the use of the newsreel footage. Also the many different angles that were used, and how the lighting and shadows were a big part of the film.
