Sunsets

The films Before Sunrise and Before Sunset are said to represent the so-called slacker genre. Slackers are individuals in society who have no direction and no reasonable expectation or realistic goals in life. This term is mainly used with Generation X’ers (people born between 1961 and 1981) (Casto, “What’s A Slacker Movie?”). Slacker movies are films that deal with the ordinary day-to-day life of these people. In Before Sunrise and Before Sunset the characters sense of wandering and the feel of

the songs “Love Like a Sunset Pt. 1” at the end of this “Pt. 1” is where he’s punched and “Love Like a Sunset Pt.2” beings and Clementine is holding him dying on the street right by where they met and singing to him “Visible horizon, Right where it starts and ends/ Oh, when did we start the end?” (Phoenix, Love Like a Sunset Pt.2”) then she looks at the audience and sings to them “visible illusion. Oh, where it starts it ends. Love like a sunset” (Phoenix, Love Like a Sunset Pt.2”) breaking the fourth

I used to love sunsets. I adored the drifting of the sun back beyond the horizon, vibrant colors dancing across the sky, giving off the last bit of light before disappearing into darkness beautiful, but not anymore. The way the shadows elongate on the ground, as the sun slowly lowers herself below the landscape and day turns into night brings memories of the worst moments of my life, the terrifying escape from the people who thought we knew too much, the people who wanted us dead. My father was

"The sun sets in the west (just about everyone knows that), but Sunset Towers faced east. Strange!” This is an Excerpt From: Raskin, Ellen. The Westing Game. In fact it's the first words of the mystery novel. After this novel a movie was made. The movie and the book are both set in Sunset towers, and both focus on the murder mystery of a Sam Westing. Sam with 16 heirs and 16 possible suspects in the novel and only 8 in the movie the mystery was bound to be a long one. In order to make a movie they

Sunset at Lake Crane is a story about love and forgiveness. A love that could have been the greatest love, that one person took away because of jealousy. This is a story about consuming love, loss, pain, lies, and learning to forgive. Erynn and Grant were student and teacher once in their lives, but their affair didn’t start until Erynn was out of high school. In the summer after Erynn graduated they had met while out with friends. Not expecting anything out of their walks and long conversations

Film noir, by translation alone, means dark film, and by that measurement Sunset Boulevard certainly fits the genre. A gloomy story that follows a jaded and sarcastic protagonist, Joe Gillis from his initial dire circumstances to his untimely death, Sunset Blvd. earns the description “dark” several times over. But there is more to film noir than crushingly depressing plotlines. There are common motifs and icons that are found in most film noirs, such as crime, dark alleys, guns and alcohol. Deeper

Claude Monet: Grainstack (Sunset) Claude Monet's Grainstack (Sunset) is the painting I chose from the Boston Museum of Fine Arts. Monet was an impressionist painter in France, and did most of his work at his home at Giverny. Impressionism got its name from a painting that Monet painted, Impression Sunrise.

On November 10th I went to see Sunset Boulevard. It was at the White Theatre at the Jewish Community Center. When trying to decide whether the show was a comedy or a drama, I was stumped. However, I finally decided it was more of a drama than a comedy. For it to be a comedy, it would have needed to have a lighter plot, which may have included Joe not dying and possibly more humor. I was not sure to begin with because there were some points throughout the play that were funny. However, drama, and

One Friday when I was in the 7th grade, my school planned an “end of the school year” field trip to the Sunset zoo. I was excited to go because I really enjoyed going to the zoo and seeing all the different animals. All the students in my grade were split up into groups and then given a section of the zoo to start, it was so not everyone was at one section of the zoo. The section my group got was the walk through Australian habitat. We walked through these big wooden doors to get access to the habitat
