The Film Of A Small Town Theatre

“Life's but a walking shadow, a poor player, that struts and frets his hour upon the stage and then is heard no more; it is a tale told by an idiot, full of sound and fury, signifying nothing.” – William Shakespeare

To complete the movie analysis assignment I decided to use a fantasy comedy movie called Matilda (1996 Film) by Danny DeVito. Matilda family is an ordinary family with a mother, father and a brother. Matilda Wormwood is a genius girl, who lives with both of her parents. Her father Harry, who is a car salesman and Zinnia the mother, who has a tremendous love and need of playing bingo, and her older brother Michael. During this film we can observe different types of family dynamics such as gender factors. For

In the short story “Saving Sourdi” by May-Lee Chai, the author use Nea’s point of view to show how a bond between sisters can grow farther apart through time and maturity. Nea is the younger sister in short story and Sourdi is the older one “escaping” Nea. By placing the point of view on Nea the reader is given the perspective of the sister that is naïve and sampling does know about life. This way, the author is able to make her readers emotionally connect with Nea because the reader directly knows Nea thoughts and fears, ultimately sympathizing with her through the point of view of Nea. Once the readers connects with Nea, the theme of the story is able to be recognized by the readers.

Case studies allow for in-depth explorations of nuanced topics in real situations. They are especially useful in obtaining insight on specific issues or situations in their natural environment. Specifically, in critical health studies we are able take different models and theories and apply them to real situations to better understand the nuances behind them. In case studies, critical reflections are a necessary tool. Critically reflecting on an issue or topic allows for the heart of the issue to be viewed from a different lens, integrating different models and theories from those originally shown. With this in mind, the intent of this paper is to critically analyze how applying the disciplinary perspective of health psychology and a behavioural model of health would change the health insights in the film Fence line: A Company Town Divided.

This analysis will discuss various forms of interperosnal communication relationships that took place thtoughout this film, with the important focus of the main characters and their interactions

The movie, The DUFF, is a typical high school movie that revolves around a senior girl named Bianca who at the beginning of the movie is completely contented with who she really was. She had two very attractive and popular best friends who were Jess and Casey. The story all began when Madison, aka the mean popular girl who seeks for attention at school invited them to a night party at her house. Well at first, Bianca doesn’t want to come. As she heard that her crush Toby will be there; she was forced to come. During the party, Wesley, who is her childhood friend whom she doesn’t like that much come to talk to her. It was a normal conversation until he suddenly called her the “Duff” which is the abbreviated term for Designated Ugly Fat Friend. After that incident, Bianca’s life was not the same as it was before. She tried to sought for a change and asked Wes’ help for her to transform from a Duff into somebody that actually fit in among the crowd. After going through lots of changes, she was then able to realize things that she never thought of before. At the end, she was able to understand that being a Duff is not actually a bad thing because in reality, we are always going to be somebody’s duff. This movie analysis paper will define, describe and make connections between the three important concepts including self-concept, perception, and self-esteem in relation to the movie, The DUFF.

For our critiquing assignment in our Introduction to Stagecraft 1, I ventured to downtown Toronto, to a small indie theatre called, The Unit 102 Theatre. There I saw the production of MISS; written by Dora Award-nominated playwright Michael Ross Albert who wrote such works as Tough Jews, The Spadina Avenue Gang with the Storefront Theatre. The set takes place in the aftermath of a shocking accident in a boarding school classroom, the story explores the tenuous connection between a high school teacher, her fiance, and a troubled student whose lives have been irrevocably changed by tragedy caused by a miscarriage, an affair, and the fear of the consequences that are not yet revealed, and finally, murder. This is a one act showdown between three

The play Our Town was something so unique and simple, but it somehow found a way to relate with everyone. Its simplicity seemed to be a hit or miss with many audience members. It was one of those plays that you relate so much with it you enjoy its minimalistic nature, or you find it too typical and boring. I happen to be among the group that found this play to be very appealing. I feel that at many times, little to no scenery and props make it hard to visualize the scene of a play. However, with Our Town the addition of a stage manager to give an explanation of each scene made up for that entirely.

Throughout one’s life, it’s literally stress failure and loss which many of us can overcome but it also. Defines them as a person and a human being/individual. There’s no wonder, therefore. Numerous authors, screenwriters and poets have therefore chosen relationships as a focus for their texts. The novel and film of Looking for Alibrandi, written by Melina Marchetta and directed by Kate Woods respectively, Are two texts mainly focus on relationships as core components driving the plot. Good morning/afternoon Mr Appleton and fellow class mates students of saint Laurence’s Collage I would like to thank you for inviting me here to deliver my option on looking for Alibrandi.

According to Film Art, it consists of “setting, costume and makeup, lighting, and staging” (Bordwell 115). In “The Wizard of OZ” these aspects of Mise-en-Scene all come together to make up a spectacular viewing experience. Created in 1939 and directed by Victor Fleming, “The Wizard of Oz” was one of the first successful Technicolor films. Since this film was shot primarily in color, it gave the directors and costume designers many new opportunities to use color in ways that they hadn’t been able to before. The main point I will be demonstrating is how the filmmakers effectively used color and costuming to convey certain feelings and messages throughout the film.

A timid teenager tries to make sense of her parents divorce by going to a therapy group for children of divorce, and sparks an unlikely friendship with another girl in the group that challenges her to explore her identity independent of her new family situation.

Midland Community Theatre presented the comedy/thriller/musical Sweeney Todd September 2 – 24, 2016, shown in Mabee Theatre II.

The resentment within the young girl’s family is essential to the novel because one can understand the young girl better as she makes her decision.

The Public Sphere within theatre was a concept that was first delineated by philosopher Jurgen Habermas in his book titled The structural transformation of the public sphere, in which he refers to the right that all citizens hold, the right to participate and engage into discussions on public matters of interest and public issues. Habermas writes: “the audience does not constitute a space for spectators and listeners but a space for speakers and addresses who engage in debate.” (Habermas in Balme 2012). The Public sphere has now become a space, a stage, for performers, speakers and protesters to have a voice rather than for the preliminary use of entertainment for the audience, spectators and listeners.

Romesh Gunesekera; the author of the novel Reef (1994), begins the story with a young boy by the name of Triton, entering Mr Salgado’s household as a “Kolla”, meaning boy, and starting to become weary of himself and his own capabilities. Throughout the novel, Triton faces certain hardships, but quickly learns to overcome them as he begins to develop a sense of responsibility and independence within the household. Mr Salgado becomes the “centre of Triton’s world” and he is someone that Triton looks up to and wants to become. However, everything changes when Miss Nili becomes the central aspect of Mr Salgado’s life and changes the relationships within the household, allowing Triton to see things from a new perspective. Throughout the novel we see how Triton plays the role of an Outsider as well as Insider within the home and how he starts becoming very observant with regards to Miss Nili. In this essay I will discuss how Triton’s role in Mister Salgado’s household alters and becomes a turning point in the novel.
