Movie Review: Sense And Sensibility
Number of words: 688 - Number of pages: 3.... the loud annoyances of TV and machinery. By this example Lee
sets the stage for the story to begin..

of the superb actors. The talent of the actors suited the roles they played,
and their mastering of the characters bring personality and feeling to the
screen. The story of the movie bases around two of these such characters who
happen to be undergoing the same feelings of love but in strikingly different
ways. Kate Winslet plays the wild, fatally romantic Marianne who cannot control
her feelings. Opposite her is .....

Review Of Three Movies: Trainspotting, Ferris Bueller's Day Off And Jurassic Park
Number of words: 900 - Number of pages: 4.... no reasons. Who
needs reasons when you've got heroin?" It is very difficult to resist the film's
great energy.
"Trainspotting's" subject matter is raw and raunchy, including AIDS, overdoses
and violence as well as obscene situations described in unprintable language.
This is a film that makes you laugh of things that can in no way be described as
funny. How is this possible? In the film's signature scene, where Renton, in
search of some lost opium suppositories, dives head-first into "the filthiest
toilet in Scotland" and emerges in a sublime and spacious undersea world. And

Number of words: 1256 - Number of pages: 5.... and warning her to ÒWeigh what loss your
honour may sustain,/ If with too credent ear you list his songs,Ó (1.3.29) else
she lose her virtue to Prince Hamlet. This exemplifies his loyalty and love for
his family, and especially his sister, though she replies to his warnings and
advice with the sarcastic reply to do not ÒShow me the steep and thorny way to
heaven,/ Whilst, like a puffed and reckless libertine,/ Himself the primrose
path of dalliance treads/ And recks not his own rede.Ó (1.3.47) Following this,
Ophelia and LaertesÕ father, Polonius, enters, and Laertes departs with .....

Macbeth: A Shakespearean Tragic Hero
Number of words: 495 - Number of pages: 2.... The influence of Macbeth's wife, Lady Macbeth also contributed to his

reveals that she is a lovable person. When Lady Macbeth was ready to kill
King Duncan herself, it showed that Lady Macbeth could not murder King
Duncan because he reminded her of her father. This proves that Lady
Macbeth has a heart deep inside her. Lady Macbeth plays an important role
in this play because she provided a scheme which caused Macbeth to
assassinate King Duncan. After Macbeth had killed King Duncan, he later
regrets on his wrong doing .....

A Scene From Martin Scorcese's "Mean Streets"
Number of words: 491 - Number of pages: 2.... and edit much of it like a documentary. This
is effective in helping the viewer to get acquainted with the criminal life.
Parts of Goodfellas and Mean Streets were in this style as was, to a more
obvious degree, the first half hour of Casino. Usually the narration plays
a large part in this style of filmmaking. The use of narration, in general,
is another one of Scorsese's styles.
In Mean Streets, there is a wonderfully lit and choreographed scene
that involves Harvey Keitel's character Charlie after he becomes
intoxicated at a party. He accomplished this using a wide angle lens and
unnat .....

"primal scene". The "primal scene" refers to a child witnessing sexual
intercourse between mother and father; an moment that is both terrifying

towards her final stage of childhood development ( Freud believed in three
stages of childhood development ) the phallic phase. Terrified of the idea

The Play "Amadeus" Is Mainly Concerned With The Destructive Nature Of Jealousy
Number of words: 546 - Number of pages: 2.... of
saving it. He spends all his time churning out music in final copy, which,
although beautiful, doesn't earn money as would teaching music.
Mozart is really the one who should be jealous, as he has little in the way of
money or assets, or even respect. All he has is his talent and his priceless
music, but not the sense he needs to capitalise on it.
It isn't the fact that someone has more talent than him, the problem is, as he

which should guarantee that he is the best in the world at least until he dies. .....

Number of words: 1019 - Number of pages: 4.... may change
rapidly, it may not be indicated by the script that it has changed, and was most
likely suggested by a few props. Abstract settings place more emphasis on the
language and the performer, which causes the spectator to use their imagination.

their eyes. The audience is reminde .....
