There is a website on which one can upload a picture of themselves or someone they know and they will receive a Disney-fied version of the picture. Known specifically for its unrealistic portrayals of humans and society in their films, Disney is still considered the most influential film company in the world. Their films tend to lack substance and complex plot lines, yet their empire is globally renowned. From animated films, to theme parks, to live-action films, to action figures and universally

Similarly to ‘The Great Gatsby’, Luhrmann’s ‘Moulin Rouge’ takes on the same effect of displaying anachronism by working with Monsted to create a soundtrack with a modern twist. However, the soundtrack of ‘Moulin Rouge’ has a much different timbre as it’s a ‘jukebox’ musical and the songs itself are used in replacement of dialogue at various points of the film. With the vocals of the lead characters of the film, played by Ewan McGregor, Nicole Kidman and more, this film also recreates different original

Ellison (1977), mentions the anachronism of the American social experience of minority artists which could then be used to understand the motivation behind the art of Bearden.

Bad Girls “Well behaved women seldom make history.” I have seen that phrase and its slightly more common counterpart, “Well behaved women rarely make history” many times. It is especially popular in the Society for Creative Anachronism (SCA), a medieval history research and reenactment group in which I participate, and is often accompanied by images of female fighters in armor wielding swords. Most recently I saw it emblazoned upon my girlfriend’s chest on a medieval themed t-shirt that she bought

basket attached to a long wooden arm and a power source for hurling projectiles on the other.The first catapult however was invented around 400 BC in Greek town Syracuse. It was not the type seen so many times at our own wars in today's Society for Creative Anachronism. The first catapult closely resembled a crossbow. It was called the Gastraphete, and worked similar to a crossbow. The Gastraphete had to be pointed at the ground and the operator had to use great force to set the weapon to fire. The

In Sondheim's A Funny Thing Happened on the Way to the Forum, the tradition of New Comedy is faithfully brought to life in a musical set in ancient Rome, but relevant to the sensibilities of its 1960's audience. Through movie sets that suggest Roman surroundings, and comedic sequences that embody the spirit of the sixties, Sondheim creates a story where Roman characters, acting according to their types, draw in modern audience members and create a energetic romp through ancient Rome that is firmly

The Medieval Period was a time in history that lasted from the 5th Century to the 16th Century. Medieval literature has been hugely influential in modern popular culture. During the middle Ages, a great emphasis was placed on the combination of fantasy and reality.

The Middle English period features a host of firsts in English literature, such as
