Blow

In Andre Bazin’s essay, “The Ontology of The Photographic Image”, he argues that one of the defining characteristics and inherent motivations in the production of art and artifacts, be it the mummification of Pharaohs, portraits of Kings and Emperors, is the ‘preservation of life by a representation of life’ (Bazin 238). He elaborates that at the heart of the plastic arts, such as painting and sculpture, is a need to make immortal the mortal and to turn the image of our flesh into clay, steel and

Gregg lay on his bed, hands covering his face. Tommy was dead. Shot in cold blood by Maynard. A man he thought was his friend. He killed his friend, Tommy without a flinch. Would Maynard also shoot him? He supposed not, because he was Frank Daggott’s son. But Gregg didn’t want to be here. He didn’t want to be a part of any killing. Gregg wished he was with Julia.

Kamryn and I shot our rocket three times the first time we shot our rocket, and it went the highest

Green Knight rather than striking a nonlethal blow. In the first part of Sir Gawain and the Green Knight, Gawain “[b]rought [the axe] down deftly upon the bare neck” of the Green Knight (423).

storytelling, and the portrayal of cities like Paris. Jean-Luc Godard's "Breathless" ( bout de mousse) and François Truffaut's "The 400 Blows" (Les Quatre Cents Coups) stand as iconic examples of this movement, each offering a unique perspective on the urban landscape and its relationship with the characters inhabiting it.

We all know the whole premise of a photographer taking pictures of a murder completely by accident. However, “Blow-Up” is arguably one of the best. Thomas, the main protagonist in this story, takes photos of a couple in a park, which is where this whole movie practically begins, and where the title “Blow-Up” comes from. At some point in the movie, Thomas had blown up the photos that he had taken in the park, which is when he discovers he may have photographed the murder of a man. This film utilizes
