Run Lola Run' by Tom Tykwer is a stunning film incorporating an array of distinctively visual features. Distinctively visual texts are designed to manipulate the way we explore the images we see and affects the way we make interpretations of the experiences we encounter in the world. The distinctively visuals represented Tykwer’s film, is significantly strong as unique images dominate the screen to create a thrilling and suspenseful film. The story is told through images, symbols and motifs as there

Sound and editing are both very crucial concepts in film. In Tom Tykwer's Run Lola Run (1998), the way the narrative structure is set up can make the differentiation of diegetic and non-diegetic sound difficult for the viewer. The relationship between sound and the narrative structure, however, also makes the viewer more aware of the film's artificiality. In King Hu's Come Drink With Me (1966), we see how the major motifs of editing emphasize the unrealistic and fantasy qualities of the characters

A composer can create images dependant on the form of the language of texts to shape a responders understanding of the ideas and themes prompted by people and their experiences. The German film, ‘Run Lola Run’ written and directed by Tom Tykwer, focuses on the experiences of the protagonist Lola to explore the themes of the inevitable force of time, and the issue of freewill verses determinism. Similarly, Dorothea Mackellar, in her poem ‘My Country’, relies on her experiences of the Australian landscape

What if you were given a chance to start over and do things differently? To make up for your mistakes, right your wrongs? This idea is featured as a theme in Flannery O’Connor’s short story “The Life You Save May Be Your Own”, published in the 1953 Spring issue of The Kenyon Review (Kenyon College). The story is about a homeless man by the name of “Shiftlet” who approaches an isolated, run-down farm where “Mrs.Crater” and her mentally retarded daughter “Lucynell” lives. Crater offers Shiftlet a home

After the First and Second World War the WCC felt they were responsible to bring back the social ethics and world politics back to a Christian point of view. Oldham and Niebuhr both lead the charge to help create a world in which based its values and beliefs off a Christian perspective. The ecumenical movement moved away from talking about a “Christian civilization” and a developing a Christian political party, but the felt responsible to bring back the mass society to realize they are the sons of

According to the critics our charitable giving is often inefficient and they also questions the ethnicity of the money raised by the charitable organisations. They point out that charities may not make best use of their funds. Karl Paul Reinhold Niebuhr, in his book (Moral Man and Immoral Society, 1932) writes that he thought that “a powerful person's donation to charity was a display of his power and an expression of his pity.” Thus, the critics of charity says that, every so-called charity

H. Richard Niebuhr 's work, Christ and Culture, presents a fivefold typology to describe the different ways Christians understand the interrelation between God, human beings, and culture, and the inherent nature of each of these categories. Niebuhr begins by talking about Christians who understand Christ in diametric opposition to an inherently sinful culture. These Christians see Christ calling them to tear down culture or enter into monastic communities to guard themselves from it. Niebuhr ends

hr and Martin Luther King were seekers of justice and embraced liberal protestant outlooks early on. The similarities in their theology, while not surprising as King derived much of his material from Niebuhr, proved to be uncanny in that they both concerned themselves with how the church should operate within society, the way love should be implemented in the ethics of individuals, and social change brought forth by nonviolence. Niebuhr’s quest for justice was in result to the horrific events he

It was an early morning in May of 1966, my adventure began with an early morning flight. The sun was rising over the fields and it set colors of a red and pink that deepened into the sky.  I drove through the abandoned state road thinking about the people I’m leaving behind, and the people I’m about to start a new adventure with. Leaving behind my small town of corn fields and tractors, which for the last sixteen months I haven 't spent a lot of time in. I have spent my time trekking through the

becomes a question of mercy and grace in this world versus a constant searching by the human, which only ends in the presence of God. The latter reflects the view of the Christian Realist. The philosopher and father of the Christian Realist position, Reinhold Niebuhr, argues that Augustine’s City of God lays the foundation for the Christian realist thought. It is in this work that Augustine presents a realistic view of humankind that was in contrast with the classical view of the human being. The latter’s
