As I watched a short clip from the movie The Bride of Frankenstein I watched how the acting, plot, lighting, camera work, and script all made this film come to life.

Camp Rhetorical Analysis Mel Brook's film ,Young Frankenstein, is a comedic throwback and famous parody to Univeral's Frankenstein (1931), Bride of Frankenstein (1935), Son of Frankenstein (1939), and The Ghost of Frankenstein (1942). (quote from interview generally describing movie experience). Young Frankenstein has important visual effects that bring to this film a well-rounded sense of both frivolity and campy thrill.

A Machiavellian is a leader who, through his power and influence, works toward the common good of his people. This can be done through fear, through deceit, even through manipulation. It is

Over the past century, the world has seen the dominance, gradual decline, and eventual collapse of the Soviet Union.
