In “The Glass Castle”, pages 62-121, some of the characters have an experience that makes them undergo a change in character. While it is not too noticeable, if you dig deep into the text you can see how the characters are affected, and possibly make some predictions of how this is later relevant to the story. Some of the predictions and assumptions may not be totally accurate, but are made based on evidence from the story. Jeanette, Brian, and Lori all go through a transformation after they each

The Cabinet of Dr Caligari by Robert Wiene is a silent, black & white horror film, which emphasizes on ‘the expression of inner thoughts and emotions through the control of stylistic elements’ (Bordwell, 2000). It was a ‘creative film movement’ that took off in the 1920s during a period known as ‘Weimar Germany’ (Foster, 2008). This period was between ‘World War I and World War II, where filmmakers were exploring juxtaposions of light and shadows to create a new style of filmmaking’, that have later

Citizen Kane is a critically acclaimed movie that most critics rank as one of the best of all times. The movie has an outstanding narrative structure. The first thing that is easy to identify is that the difference between story and plot is clear. This movie is not told in chronological order which makes it easy to identify the clear distinction between story and plot. The lack of chronological order is first evident in the way the movie starts. It starts with the death of Kane instead of his birth

entertainer. The media builds narratives, framing real-life events to fulfill their agendas. In Citizen Kane, publishing tycoon Charles Foster Kane capitalizes on the power of modern mass media. He uses the New York Inquirer to lead his yellow journalism crusade. The sensationalist narratives he directs lead the newspaper’s readers to view Cuban independence via a war with Spain as a necessity. Kane is not alone. A number of governments frame the news to control how their citizens read the world. Propaganda

Citizen Kane tells the provocative, epic story of a Charles Kane, A newfound wealth kid who acquired a fortune, was detracted from his unassuming environment and his dad and mom, was raised by a financier, and turned into a spectacularly well off, self-important, and enthusiastic newspaperman. He made his notoriety for being the liberal, hopeful champion of the underprivileged, and set his self absorbed personality on a political profession, until the point when those political dreams were broken

Since the evolution of pop culture in America, the introduction of violent media to young, impressionable minds has been inevitable. As a child ages, they gradually adjust in response to their environment. Accessibility to media, or lack thereof, significantly shapes a child’s character no matter the generation they come from.

All three films were recognized for Luhrmann’s characteristic style. His films feature stylistic choices such as blue and red lighting, the use of rapid cuts and vibrant, period accurate costume. To analyze Luhrmann’s use of the four elements of the stylistic system, I will consider two specific scenes from the film, namely

Nights of Cabiria and La Dolce Vita left me absolutely stunned, in awe of what I had just witnessed. I found both of these films to be unspeakably beautiful, and in my opinion, the best out of all Fellini's major motion pictures which I have attempted to view this semester. Both films are unmistakably "Fellini" in the characteristic that define his films, especially through the world of fantasy, and deserve a thorough comparison. In La Dolce Vita, we are given a glimpse of a filmmaker
