Good Will Hunting For this assignment I have chosen to focus on the film Good Will Hunting primarily because I have seen the movie prior to this course and I feel it is one of the best films I have gotten a chance to see. Will Hunting's profound genius was as much a burden as it was a gift. Initially seeing the film I enjoyed it but viewing the film in the scope of all that I have learned in this course made the viewing experience much more meaningful, as I now had a deeper understanding of Will's

A studious young man, an open book these two images swirl around the screen in a kaleidoscope effect, this was the introductory scene of "Good Will Hunting." This scene is followed by Ben Afflick, knocking on Will's door, when Will comes out a credit rolls by that says, "screenplay written by Ben Afflick and Matt Damon," just as the two walk side by side. This shows how perfectly the makers of this movie have everything timed, down to the credits. Also, the timing shows when the

Robin Hood's good traits are easily seen throughout the story. The author did a good job of making his hero come across as a good person, who has often been misinterpreted because of things that he did as a young boy. Showing the change Robin Hood has made since he was a little boy easily allows the reader to better understand how great he really is, and how he is helping not only himself, but all of the poorer community.<br><br>Robin Hood was faced with issues from very early on in his life. His

In society, behaving in a way that distances oneself from others is viewed as unacceptable: be it mentally or physically. In the novel, The Stranger, by Albert Camus, the main character, Meursault, does just that. Throughout the novel, Meursault creates a problem for himself by emphasizing his individual existence rather than acknowledging others. The text suggests that the solution to the presented problem for Meursault is to recognize the subjectivity of others around him: such as his mother and

This is the story of my high school best friend and me, and how our lives took different paths regardless of what we thought and what we assumed. My friend and I met in a unique way. At that time, I was working for my dad and needed a helper for the job I was performing. I, first told another friend about the job opportunity, which he agreed to take, but on the first day of work he had already changed his mind about working with me and asked another of his friends to take his place. This is how I

In the film The Dark Knight, the director Christopher Nolan uses many language features to effectively highlight the contrast between good and evil, and that people have both good and evil within them. One of the most significant scenes that highlights these ideas is the scene where Bane has been knocked to the ground by Batman which crosscuts with the flashback scene of Miranda and Bane’s past. The language features character actions, camera work and characterisation, helped me see the contrast

On Sunday April 22, 2018 I had the chance to see Robin Hood at the Springfield Theatre Center at the Hoogland Center for the Arts. This play was written by Larry Blamire and directed by Kelly E. Bassett. The story line of this play is on that presences a heroic lifestyle of an outlaw. The production within itself was packed with multiple design elements that help portray a realistic setting to connect the audience to the time frame in which the play is taking place. Elements such as the lighting
