Shots of tanks and planes show the violence of war that coincides with the cutthroat city that is Casablanca. From there, those sentiments are reinforced when a man is shot in the street while another man pick pockets someone whom is distracted. The mood of the movie stays on the dark side of things when we enter Rick's Café, where we meet our protagonist played by Humphrey Bogart.

Victor Hugo’s works discuss many themes; forgiveness and compassion, justice, and the need for political change, among many others, and much of the time, adhering to these themes take precedence over obeying the law. Hugo was elected to the Parliament in 1848 as a conservative, yet when he started making progressive speeches, was forced to break with the conservatives. It was when Napoleon III came into power that Hugo stood up for his views, declaring Napoleon III a traitor to France, and was exiled from France for nineteen years for this. Hugo’s sense of morality defied law; he refused to obey and paid the price for it. Hugo continued to publish novels and anti-Napoleon III material while he was in exile in Guernsey. Some of Hugo’s most powerful

In terms of the overall structure of the film, this film breaks through the previous single-line narrative mode, using four layers of nested narrative structure, layer by layer, and without any lack of independence. The first level is a little girl went to the cemetery to worship writer's grave, she put the key to hanging on the writer’ statue, and took out a book called "The Grand Budapest Hotel", she turned to the end of the book, the book was printed with pictures of writer; the second level is the story of the girl who began to pay tribute to the author in the cemetery. The third level is in The Grand Budapest Hotel, where old Zero tells his story to a young man. Time and space returned to Zero when Zero was young, and this began the journey of Zero and Mr. Gustave, this is the fourth level of narrative mode. Skip the middle specific storyline and go straight to the end. Gustave's last moments are in black and white.

He would wash his clothes in the sink at the local laundry mat, and often had to steal food from the local gas station just to survive.

In Roger Scruton's Photography and Representation the author establishes the idea that ideal photography is not art. In the same breath he says that ideal photography is not necessarily an idea which photographers should strive, nor does it necessarily exist. Yet, he bases his argument upon the ideal. In reviewing his paper, I’ll take a look at why he painstakingly tries to make this distinction between ideal painting and ideal photography. His argument is based upon the proposition that photographs can only represent in a causal fashion, whereas painters create representational artwork via intentional relations. Scruton manages to create a solid argument, but in the end I’ll decide it is not a fair assumption to say that photographs

Scorsese was born in Queens, New York. However, his family moved to Little Italy, Manhattan prior to him starting school. Both his parents worked in New York’s Garment District. His father’s parents emigrated from Polizzi Generosa, a province in Palermo, Sicily. His mother’s grandparents were also from Palermo. Martin Scorsese was raised in a devoutly Catholic family. Something that heavily influenced the theme and style of his movies as well will see later on in this paper.

In light of this, his parents and older brother would take him to the movie theatres to keep him entertained. This is where his passion for cinema began to develop.

Through the use of feminist ideals and the criminal injustice system, Hugo attacks the principle social evils that each of his characters face in Les Miserables.
