The movie that I chose to critique is Rear Window, a realist film by Alfred Hitchcock produced in 1954. Starring James Stewart, Grace Kelly and, Wendell Corey. The genre is thriller and the sub genre is suspense infused with mystery. Rear Window is one of Alfred Hitchcock’s most inspired audience participation films. When a person watches it, he feels, tantalized, shocked, and exhilarated. Further in this essay, I will summarize the plots, discuss the styles used, and deconstruct parts of the film

power. The producers of this film were able to have complete control over what was included in the film, and you can tell that by the controversial scenes surrounding Kane, and all of the trials and tribulations that surrounded a man in this time period. Example 2.) Even though this film was released years after the death of the American Studio System, Selma took the ideology that created the system and recreated it into a more modern version of such. Selma uses language and large amounts of emotion

From an issue that was discussed in class, we discussed about the gaze. In Laura Mulvey’s “Visual Pleasure and Narrative Cinema” she discusses about scopophilia, which is the pleasure in looking which also incorporates exhibitionism (pleasure in being looked at). This term also applies to cinema. She focuses on the idea of the “male gaze” in cinema, where films are created in favor of the male audience. Thus the action of cinema compromises of “women as image, man are bearer of the look”. Mulveys

ahead of me to create new memories as well. The 11 songs I chose are the ones that have helped me deal with past stress the best and they are: parts of “Fur Elise”, “I Won’t Back Down”, “Go Way From My Window”, “Poor Wayfaring Stranger”, “Amazing Grace”, “Danny Boy”, “You Are My Sunshine”, “Clementine”, “Pan’s Labyrinth Lullaby”, “Headphones”, parts of “Circles” by Hollywood Undead. Each song has a special meaning that I associate with it, although some of the meanings overlap. “Fur Elise” is special

Tanya Tucker is quite arguably one of country music’s finest entertainers. Like a “fine wine” Tucker has done nothing short of grow, mature, and consistently showcase her vocal talents with countless gold and platinum selling albums and beloved hit singles. When you have a smash hit at the age of 13, no one can predict exactly how long and substantial your career will turn out to be. Almost 44 years since the release of Delta Dawn, Tucker is still working hard, performing, creating music, and entertaining

The story line of a film can be regarded as an important criterion when selecting an audience’s preference. Yes, the plot is critical when it comes to sitting still for 2-3 hours straight. However, the excellence of that, sparks from daring and theatrical ideas that directors build on through detailed and carefully constructed forms of art. Mis-en scene forms the basis of a films captivating ability, which can be furthered through auteuristic skill that a director projects. It is a combination of

In Alias Grace, Grace Marks is a servant in the mid-1800s who performs chores and other household tasks for her employers. Throughout the book, Grace describes in detail the type of work she performs, and how she and her fellow coworkers are treated. A theme that more or less dominates the background of the novel is the apparent sexism of the mid-1800s. The women are considered too “weak” for the “tougher” jobs that were selected for men. However, it was not just a workplace issue; there is clear

The Internet of Things speeds up awareness and response to events. It has a wide domain of application for instance in industries such as manufacturing, transportation and public sectors, faster response time not only improves the output, it also decreases the occurrence of a hazard. Taking an example of any factory, a temperature sensor deployed on critical machines on the floor can send readings before a failure is about to happen and action can be taken before in hand. Likewise, deploying a sensor

Civility is manners. Doing simple behaviors like not chewing with one’s mouth open while eating or holding doors open for others can be considered as simple acts of civility. In the two essays “What is Civility?” by P.M. Forni and “Play with Your Food, Just Don’t Text” by Sara Rimer, they discuss civility. In Forni’s essay, he discusses civility from a teacher’s stand point, and Rimer focuses on technology and how it leads to a lack of civility in a lot of homes worldwide. Although they have two

From the very second I was born, until this very day, I had understood life to be a certain way. Life had taken its course and my family, as well as myself, have suffered ups and downs. We’ve been through times which were good and which were the worst of the worst – all families do. What I didn’t know is that regardless of the good and the bad, that the life I lived was sheltered to the point where I couldn’t fathom the idea that all people had not lived a life similar to ours. Sure, I understand
