Robert Andrews a laid off officer stated in the Star Ledger “I’m concerned with the citizens," he said. "If it took 167 of us to bring Newark back, how can they go on without us?"(Giambusso and Friedman,” Laid off Newark police officers cope with unemployment.”) Secondly, Crime will decrease in

First, I applaud the movie for daring to tell a story that nobody else presumed creating. Even in 2005, this was a pretty prohibited thing to discuss. To its credit, the movie follows the original story fairly close, but a details were left out that made all the difference. The short story Brokeback Mountain (1997) written by Annie Proulx received a lot of attention when it was first published in the New Yorker. The story is about the relationship between Jack Twist and Ennis Del Mar, two cowboys

film's gravitational pull. Yet flitting through this 10-ton expressionist murk is a diseased butterfly with stringy hair and a maniacal giggle. Played by a dead actor, he's the most alive thing here. It's not quite fair to say that the late Heath Ledger steals "The Dark Knight" from Christian Bale and the forces of (problematic) good, but, as the Joker, he is the movie's animating principle and anarchic spark - an unstoppable force colliding with the immovable objects of Batman and director

mind it should also be noted that as these directors and other organizations make those initiatives, people will be more likely to understand and accept others’ differences and eventually coexists without prejudice and violence. According to Heath Ledger when asked about what he can say about the movie, he said, “It transcends a label. It’s a story of two human beings that are in love; get over the fact that it’s two men — that’s the point.” This wonderful quote summarizes what everyone should take

The conflicting relationships between moral desire and ethical duty is one fought every day in almost every decision made. This decision to do what's right versus what they want is affected by many different factors. One of the most important factors that can impact people’s views on the balance of desire vs duty is major adversities people have faced. However adversities that alter people's philosophical views usually involve great tragedy commonly found at least once in every life. As a consequence

Burning. Massive flames. A dark shape emerges. Growing. Filling the space with blackness. Blinding light, moving over the towers of a city. The light closes in on the buildings, consuming them, consuming you. Can’t escape, can’t breathe, completely overwhelmed. When suddenly you hear “CUT!”, and find yourself on a movie set, watching a scene that just get shot, back in the real world. That feeling you experienced, surrendering yourself, your senses is called suspension of disbelief. The willingness

Cultural Traditions in Love Affairs A story in which a conflictive relationship between two characters is featured is Annie Proulx’s ‘’Brokeback Mountain’ which takes place in a mountain in Wyoming, USA. The conflict between the protagonists, Ennis Del Mar and Jack Twist, arises from the unavoidable fact of having feelings for each other, which represents opposing cultural traditions they grew up with. Ennis once told Jack that ‘’There is no rein on this one. It scares the piss out a me.’’(269) There

The Batman comics and movies have survived decades by captivating new audiences and eliciting a cult following that has survived fifty years. Undoubtedly, the characters and plots of the films have transformed to match the newer generation’s preference for action and drama. Shifts have provided heroes that cross the line of villains, and villains that have protagonist qualities. Upon comparing, the first Batman movie's poster to the recent poster for The Dark Knight demonstrates the shift in the

Sexuality can affect not only behavior, but also ones role in a social structure. Jack Twist, a rodeo cowboy, and Ennis Del Mar, in the movie Brokeback Mountain, encounter a sexual experience with each other and are not positively sure on how to react to it. A rancher, Joe Aguirre, hired Jack and Ennis as sheepherders, their work took place on Brokeback Mountain located in Wyoming. After months of lonely work on this mountain, Jack and Ennis finally began to appreciate each other’s company. No matter

The symbolism of ‘looks can be deceiving’, is a connection I found in the two films, The Dark Knight, directed by Christopher Nolan, and Little Tombstone, directed by Fredric Azais et al, as well as finding a connection with the novel, Montana 1948 written by Larry Watson. Through my aspects of colour, sound, symbolism and character, it has become the foundation of my ideas that convey my developed concept, between these three subjects. The short film, Little Tombstone has a significant use of
