Almost inevitably, one will encounter a situation where there is no escape because of contradictions; better known as a no win situation, a deadlock, a double bind. Uniquely, it was indeed a novel that first embodied this situation, Catch-22 by Joseph Heller. Correspondingly, the situation embraced the novel’s title and the rightful moniker was introduced.

Fargo’s opening scene sets the tone for the rest of the movie (fig. 1). As the opening credits are rolling across the screen, there is nothing but stark whiteness behind them. At first, this looks just like a simple white background. As the movie plays on, the viewer discovers this stark whiteness is actual footage of a snow-covered highway in Middle America. The epic and foreboding score in the background matches the harsh whiteness of the setting. To the untrained eye, this has nothing in common

In Catch-22, the culture surrounding World War II is totally different from the culture we face in wartime today.

Other than being Yossarians closest friend in the war, Dunbar is a foil

The first movie I will be analyzing is Insidious. Mainly because I know it the best and I can easily analyze it. So, the first clue that I get from Dalton about his curiousity with the attic is when he comes downstairs after waking up when his mom is looking at old photos saying "Mom, I can't sleep either". This absolutely SCREAMS at me saying "Hey, there is something in the attic, it sounds really creepy and evil, but I REALLY want to go check it out because I don't know what it is!" That's the

“Being right is dangerous when the government is wrong”-Voltaire. Voltaire’s quote relates directly to the novel Catch-22 by Joseph Heller. The definition of a catch-22 is a dilemma or difficult circumstance from which there is no escape because of mutually conflicting or dependent conditions, essentially, the government uses the law of catch-22 to ensure that they are always right.
