What Is The Theme Of The Newsies

Now the actual Newsboys Strike of 1899 , lasted much longer. It lasted from July 20th to August 2nd. The strike was as well lead by one-eyed young man named Louis Ballat who was nick named “Kid blink”. And in the musical was as a minor supporting role , with another actual real life newsie MAurice Cohen were the inspiration for “CowBoy Kelly.” As well the actual strike ended with a compromise: The Journal and The World agreed to buy back all unsold copies of the newspapers. Another fun fact is that the NewsBOys strike of 1899 was told in David Nasaw’s book Children of the City: At work and at Play.

It put me right in the mood and I felt like I was watching a sitcom such as “That 70s Show.” Whenever they switched scenes, they’d turn off the lights and the set management will come out and set the next scene while they played funny acts on the small tv. The lightening was good and the sound was great as well. The costumes were ideal for the 90s and the set design caught my attention the moment I walked in. For example, the high waisted pants and the old fashioned dresses that Florence wore were specifically designed in the 90s. The whole stage design reminded me of a 90s show that I used to watch with my family. Since I was sitting in the front row whenever the actors threw something it always came by my feet and they would pick it up and apologize. This actually made me laugh and it made me feel like I was involved in the

They also found the right balance between the scenes with our heroes, Lucie Manette, Charles Darnay, Dr. Manette, and Sydney Carton (among others) and the material featuring the Defarges and other peasants in Paris. And the movie was compelling, not boring and droning.

The movie did an excellent job portraying the 1920’s and the parties that happened at Gatsby’s house. “There was music from my neighbor’s house through the summer nights. In his blue gardens men and girls came and went like months among the whisperings and the champagne and the stars” (39). The scenes of the parties at Gatsby’s house portrayed people dancing, music and drinking. It

I do not think the movie depicted America in the 1800’s well. I have seen an abundance of movies and pictures where the 1800’s looked more realistic than in Amistad. There were special settings that captured my attention. When Cinque was telling the translator about how he was captured, the setting in Africa was unanticipated. I was looking forward to the scene being more along the lines of jungles and wild animals, but instead it looked like a scene from Jamaica. Another scene that caught my attention were the courtroom settings. Having knowledge about the size of older buildings and rooms within those buildings, I knew things were not as spacious as they are now. The movie did a fabulous job of showing that. In the movie, everyone looked compacted into one space and it looked over capacitated. The judge’s stand did not look so superior like it does now. The plaintiff and defendant stands looked like regular tables and desks. The movie did a great job replicating a slave ship. When the slaves were on the ship, their clothing, hair, and props like shackles, weapons, and chains looked realistic. It had an excellent impact to the storyline of the slaves. The clothing worn by the English men, soldiers, and Queen Isabella, were accurate regarding how they dressed in the 1800’s. The way they spoke also gave it a more realistic feel. Having English, Mende, and Spanish spoken throughout the movie made it have a special

The image is brighter and sharper in the film. The contrast of the film really affects the mood. Since the contrast is so bright the viewer is bound to stay focused and aware because everything is so catchy and noticeable. Also, the exposure changes throughout the film. At the very beginning the film starts in black and white and changed to color as the story progressed. The filmmaker uses a lot of Long Takes, each shot of Dorothy meeting someone new is pretty lengthy.

How the director achieved their purpose was through all of the elements of film combined in this movie. For example, the lighting in a few scenes reflected the mood. In one scene it was dim, monochrome, and dull. I feel the sense of the lighting really gave the feeling of what the director was trying to pursue. Another example is camera angles and techniques during the sports scenes. Sports scenes are difficult to film because of the constant movement and the scenes incorporating sports were done perfectly. The acting, writing, and music was genuinely beautiful. The acting really made me feel like that it was in the 1940s by the way they talked and the writing was excellent and I thoroughly enjoyed it and how it was written. There wasn’t much music in this movie but when there was it related to the scene and was beautiful. As an example, during those intense sports scene, intense music would play. There are many strengths to this movie including the acting, directing, and honestly the overall performance, in my opinion. One weakness though was the language (cursing) used throughout the movie. Even though it was historically accurate for the way they talked, I feel like the movie could’ve been just as successful without it. My overall response to this movie is that it was intriguing to watch. I say this because I found the storyline and how that it was about Jackie Robinson and what he went through interesting,

During the harsh times of the 1890’s, the Newsboys were under severe oppression in the working place. This would change when they publicly challenge the authority of the corporate operation, ultimately leading to a shift in New York civil disputes and eventually helping to engulf the unfair working laws that were presented. This will and would lead the change of many civil minds and spark more impactful rebellions down the road.

The movie backgrounds and choices of sets were well created. The sets were detailed and were very vivid. The background and choice of locations were appropriate and well thought out (Library and Archives Canada, Building the Canadian Pacific Railway). It provided a good representation of what it was really like for the Chinese workers in the 1880s. The costumes the actors used were well designed.

The sounds and music in this film are very realistic, and to the point. There is not anything abstract or out of place, and everything is very appropriate. The

Primarily, the unique use of real fire on stage to imitate a campfire is commendable as it is impressive and very well thought out. It is one detail that could have easily been overlooked, as usually fake flames are used on stage for safety reasons, but they pushed the standard boundaries and it payed off. Using real flames increases the sense of realism in the scene and brought Lennie and George’s camp scene to life. Similarly, the replicated river was an aspect from the book that must have been tricky to recreate, but the producers pushed the boundaries in order to make the show feel as alive as possible. The river was well thought out in order for it to be interactive with the actors as Lennie and George drank out of it and Lennie fell into it when he was killed. On the other hand, one constant complaint for the special effects is the overuse of smoke. Smoke machines were running well before the show started and continued running throughout the entire performance, resulting in a pretty horrible headache. Though, being so encaptured in the show made it pretty easy to forget. Additionally, costuming was overall good with the main actors. Lennie and George matched as described in the novella and their clothes fit their characters very well. The costume department also did a good job at showing how worn down

Personally, the audio play lived up to my expectations more so than the visual play. While the visual play was excellent and followed the play well, the setting seemed undone. For example, the kitchen appliances were white, which didn’t seem appropriate for an old farm house. Also, the attire was underdone as well. The Sheriff didn’t have an official uniform on and the attire didn’t appear period correct. On the other hand, the audio play provided the voiceover, which allows the reader to visualize the play on their own. Secondly, I feel the visual played provided more emotional appeal. Mainly, the emotional appeal came from the actors facial expressions and body language. Unfortunately, it’s not possible to obtain the same effect through an audio recording. Third of all, the audio recording provided sound effects as opposed to a physical setting. For example, instead the rocking chair being shown, the audio provided the sound of a rocking chair. Another example, instead of showing the dishes like the visual play, the audio recording provided sounds of dishes being moved around in a sink. Overall, the audio recording captured the author’s intent the

In my opinion, I think that the clothes Scott and his men wore were absolutely perfect. From the boots, to the hats and goggles, to the gloves, everything signified that they were travelling somewhere freezing. The costumes were a little plain, which I think was a good thing because it showed some dreariness to the play. Cassie Graham, who played Kathleen, wore a beautiful white dress, which was also great for her character because it reminded me of almost an angel. She was so sweet and innocent throughout the play, and I think the white dress went very well with her character. Finally, Amundson wore a tan suit, and I think it made him look like he was higher in power compared to the other characters. The way Chandler Pawloski acted as Amundson, it was as if he thought he was better than everyone else, which is why it made sense that he was wearing an expensive-looking suit. The time was set back in the day, and I think all of these costumes really showed what time frame this was

The set was a crucial factor in the production, which was displayed in multiple instances throughout the show. The train piece, for one, was absolutely incredible and it appeared as if there was a lot of detail and effort put into creating it. Even more, this item in a sense represents the different character portrayals of May as she is going to Hollywood and departing from it. Another set piece that stood out was the actual revolving glass doors. The craftsmanship of it alone is amazing and this is a creative method in letting characters enter and leave the scene. Furthermore, the costumes helped in setting the vibe of the time period. Above all are the flapper costumes worn by two of the actresses, which created a rustic and energetic environment. The lighting played an important role in tying everything together. It was dimmed at times and then brightened to place emphasis on the lead actors. In addition, another element that was central to the production was the sound. I enjoyed the music that was present in the short clips displayed throughout the scenes. Not to mention, the whistling of the train engine made it feel as if you were there yourself. To conclude, the technical elements were marvelous by themselves, but together they brought out a whole different degree of
