O Brother, Where Art Thou? is a Coen brothers film that was based on Homer’s epic, “The Odyssey.” The setting of the movie was during the depression era in Mississippi. The movie’s tone, characters, story, and settings reflect how barren and poor the general populous was after the stock market crash of 1929. This movie had many themes that warrant analysis. The theme of inequality between the white and black races was prevalent throughout the movie. Inequality and unfairness within the human race in general was also clearly depicted. This movie thoroughly depicts the multifaceted themes and issues present during the depression era.

“D.W. Griffith was the first American director to be as well-known as the films he directed, and he was among the very first to insist that filmmaking was an art form” (Lewis 53). This statement is very true. However, the inherent discriminating content in some of his movies also made him one of the hardest to appreciate. One of the most famous examples was The Birth of a Nation (1915), which was in favor of the Ku Klux Klan. After a few more controversial movies, he finally tried to redeem his reputation with Broken Blossoms (1919). Broken Blossoms is Griffith’s attempt at an apology in the portrayal of minorities and the idea of miscegenation within The Birth of a Nation in the midst of a troubling society heading towards the anti-miscegenation law.

During life, birth, and death, a family is one of the few natures of life that are present throughout. Often times, the value of family is taken for granted, and people tend to disregard the importance it carries. Due to the power present in the nature of a man, often times it is challenging for women to establish a firm independence, in distinction of the common norms inaugurated in society and in family. In both A Thousand Splendid Suns and Pride and Prejudice, men are the dominant figures in all households, as they have control over their financial status, who their children marry, where they live, and create means in which the females of the family must follow. The inferiority that women face leads to an inquiry of an immense pride

(Part 1) Thelma & Louise received mix responses from film critics when it first came out. The responses to the film were largely based on preconceived notions about how women operate in the criminal justice system. Obviously, this movie subverted a lot of these presumptions. The first issue was gender. Women had not been perceived as outlaws until this film. The whole idea of a woman in the criminal justice system did not embody what the movie portrayed. Specifically, after Thelma was sexually assaulted and Harlan was shot, the women come to the conclusion that going to the police won’t help them. They do not have faith the male dominated criminal justice system will look past Thelma’s drinking, dancing, and flirting with Harlan. In the article “Outlaw Women: An Essay on Thelma & Louise”, Elizabeth Spelman and Martha Minow said “Louise and Thelma both hear and reject the echo of societal conversations about blaming women who get raped because ‘they asked for it.’” Louise immediately acknowledges this stereotype against them which is the fact if a woman was raped, the law will view it like “she had it coming”. In other words, she was provocative in some way that established consent. Another issue concerning gender was the one of outlaw women. Normally, the traditional outlaw film contains a white male that we as the audience view as virtuous. While most probably favored what Thelma and Louise were doing, there were some points where the deviancy might have been too much.

Despite having an archetypal storyline, The Princess Bride proves to be anything but predictable. From the moment the title appears onscreen in a font that evokes classic fairy tales such as Sleeping Beauty, it is clear the story is going to be rooted in fantasy. Following the appearance of the title comes the sound of a child’s cough as the black screen gives way to the graphics a baseball video game. The camera pans around the room to reveal posters of Chicago Cubs and Bears players, and soon rests on a child, presumably the source of the cough. Thus, the mise-en-scene has introduced to one of our two narrators, the other being the child’s grandfather who comes to read him a story. Though the novel read by the grandfather conveys a hackneyed tale of undying love, the film frames this in a self-aware way with periodic interruption of the story’s narrative by comments from young boy which are cynical at first, by grow to reflect a genuine interest as the movie progresses. This move is self-reflexive in that it reminds the audience that they are, in fact, watching a move; however, this serves to elevate the meaning of the film. Through the use of sound, editing, and mise-en-scene, The Princess Bride emphasizes that even though the concept of true love has saturated society and become cliché, it’s no less potent because of the cultural overplay. I will specifically discuss the utilization of deep focus shots, color, and lighting that caricaturize the traditional fairy tale,

In the film, The Princess Bride, the director Rob Reiner introduced many themes into the plot. A significant theme in the film, The Princess Bride, is ’Intelligence’. Had intelligence not have been a contributing factor to the plot, there would be a completely different outcome at the end.

William Goldman in The Princess Bride wrote, “Flaws would not only bring death but, far worse, humiliation. “Flaws, faults, and imperfections are all basic things people have, based on the saying that no one is perfect. Goldman wrote that flaws can turn into death, or even worse, humiliation. Humiliation is thought of as a very bad thing on byself, but if the public hears of your flawed errors, it turns into a major impact on your life. Monica Lewinsky, a former intern of the White House, is a good example of public humiliation. She made a speech called, “The Price of Shame”, which talks of how her flawed error of falling in love with the President out of lust, and how it caused a huge negative impact on her person, professional, and social life. Lewinsky’s story is very similar to the novel, The Scarlet Letter by Nathaniel Hawthorne, which talks of a woman named Hester Prynne who is shamed with the act of adultery, she herself falling love with a man of higher authority. Their entire lives were affected dearly, by people looking at them, and saying things about them that were not true. Even today, public humiliation is taken as a punishment for people's mistakes, and taken to the max. In the article, “Is the Internet a Mob Without Consequence?”, it talks of how public humiliation had taken an even more extreme and easy to achieve the same negative impacts on someone due to technology increase and social media’s. Public shame is something everyone fears. Not just because it would embarrass them, but it will ruin their lives. Someone's social and professional life could be deeply affected, and even a great deal of personal issues and family issues can arise.

The director Miyazaki utilizes both physical and visual elements as represented by the characters, in order to communicate and individualize unique character traits and contrasting personalities.
