Sleepless In Seattle
Number of words: 287 - Number of pages: 2.... large sums of money for each visit to
the theater is tough to keep up. The audience expects an extra special
performance each and every visit. I want to feel good as I leave. This satisfies
my willingness to put out a large expence for this type of entertainment.
When I left "Sleepless in Seattle", I was in heaven. I had the feeling I
wanted. They movie brought me that "believer" feeling. I feel that the purpose
of this movie was to show the audience that fate is alive and well. I was shown
that there is someone out there for each and every one of us. I went to the
movies with family. This .....

Seinfeld
Number of words: 550 - Number of pages: 2.... it is today.

unique for its time, had its most famous episode dealing with a Soup Nazi. They
called him the Soup Nazi because he ran his soup stand with a Hitler type
dictatorship. I have never seen a sitcom deal .....

Raw Deal: Film Techniques
Number of words: 1062 - Number of pages: 4.... lighting is used to increase the intensity of the scene and define the mood. By directing their attention to Pat’s face, the audience can concentrate on her facial expressions and sense her fear. The direction of the light also plays a key role in creating a successful visual image. An example of this is the use of front-lighting and back-lighting in the scene on the boat where Joe is talking to Pat about their new married life. The camera focuses on a side view of Pat’s face. There is a light shining from the window behind her, directly pointing at the clock hanging on the wall to he .....

Tragedy And The Common Man
Number of words: 954 - Number of pages: 4.... with his struggles and pains an appreciation of his plight is achieved. This identification is universal. The universality of identification is, among those reading or viewing the play, a bonding force for persons of every station. Miller’s success in this point is bred from each viewer’s own sentiment for Willie Loman.
Another point by Miller is that, “the tragic feeling is invoked in us when we are in the presence of a character who is willing to lay down his life... to secure one thing- his sense of personal dignity.” Willy Loman is that kind of man. He will go to any len .....

Star Wars: An Intergalactic Joyride
Number of words: 652 - Number of pages: 3.... origin into a cohesive and entertaining movie. He
has achieved a witty and exhilarating synthesis of themes and cliches from the
Flash Gordon and Buck Rogers comics and serials, plus such related but less
expected sources as the western, the pirate melodrama, the aerial combat
melodrama and the samurai epic. The movie's irresistible stylistic charm
derives from the fact that Lucas can draw upon a variety of action-movie
sources with unfailing deftness and humor. He is in superlative command of his
own movie-nurtured fantasy life. Gary Arnold, Washington Post Staff Writer
Mr. Rothstein alo .....

Julius Ceaser: Character Analysis Of Marcus Brutus
Number of words: 841 - Number of pages: 4.... not allow him to "climber-upward…He then unto the ladder
turns his back…"(act 2, scene 1, ll.24,26). As the quote says, Brutus would not
allow Caesar to rise to power and then turn his back onto the people of Rome.
After the assassination of Julius Caesar, Brutus talks to Antony about Caesar's
death. "Our hearts you see not; they are pitiful; and pity to the general wrong
of Rome…"(act 3, scene 1, ll.185-186). Brutus says that Antony cannot see
their(members of the conspiracy) hearts, which are full of pity. Again, this
shows how Brutus loved Caesar but cared for the life of Rome and i .....

27 Years Of Influential 60 Minutes
Number of words: 1491 - Number of pages: 6.... and producer of 60 Minutes, has been
the subject of much criticism for his stubbornness. Since its origin, 60
Minutes has continued to adhere to the same formula that made it such a success.
The hidden-camera interviews, the surprising of unsuspecting alleged crooks
with a bombardment of questions, the longevity of the featured reporters, all of
these are what made 60 Minutes a success--finishing in the top 10 Nielson
ratings for 17 consecutive seasons and counting. Other than the fact that it
changed from black-and-white to color with the new technology, the appearance of
60 Minutes .....

Hamlet: The Tragic Hero
Number of words: 963 - Number of pages: 4.... example, MacBeth was evil, yet he was a tragic hero, because he had free will. He also had only one flaw, and that was pride. He had many good traits such as bravery, but his one bad trait made him evil. Also a tragic hero doesn't have to die. While in all Shakespearean tragedies, the hero dies, in others he may live but suffer "Moral Destruction".
In Oedipus Rex, the proud yet morally blind king plucks out his eyes, and has to spend his remaining days as a wandering, sightless beggar, guided at every painful step by his daughter, Antigone. A misconception about tragedies i .....

Macbeth: Corruption
Number of words: 696 - Number of pages: 3.... really be done to sustain it or avoid it, if you take a corrupt
person in power and replace a fair and just person. Sooner or later they also
become corrupt. You just have to assume and hope the replacement will be a fair
person.
In the tradgity "Macbeth" there are many examples of corruption. When Macbeth
became Thane of Cowdor his wife, Lady Macbeth, was very delighted to hear of
such news. And when hearing that Duncan, the king ,would be coming to dinner at
their castle, gave her an idea that maybe they need a new king, Macbeth! This is
a perfect example of corruption, as soon as she b .....

Hamlet: Video Comparison
Number of words: 548 - Number of pages: 2.... that he is in the room and
continues his charade of acting mad. I think that this interpretation is the
best one because it reflects my view of this scene as well as what I think
Shakespeare's intentions were.
Another version was the with Lawrence Olivier. Compared with the other
two, this version didn't quite seem as realistic. When Hamlet enters them room,
it seems like he already knows what's going on, and that Polonius and the King
are in the room. You can tell that he thinks something's up when glances over
at the hanging tapestries before he talks with Ophelia. They don't seem as .....
