Shakespeare's Henry V: Two Views Of War
Number of words: 983 - Number of pages: 4.... viewing each film. Although both Olivier and Branagh depicted the identical Shakespearean production, the result is two very different films.
In 1944, at the closing of World War II, Laurence Olivier adopted William Shakespeare's script of Henry V. Using the setting, costumes, and music in his film, Olivier presented an overall idealized view of war. The cartoon-like opening, when the field of Agincourt is shown as a grassy land against a picturesque sky, sets the mood of the movie. The audience sees a pleasing picture which lightens their general feelings towards war. Next, the vie .....

Death Of A Salesman - Willy's Escape
Number of words: 1028 - Number of pages: 4.... his
family. It is not uncommon for one to think of better times at low points
in their life in order to cheer themselves up so that they are able to
deal with the problems they encounter, but Willy Lowman takes it one step
further. His refusal to accept reality is so strong that in his mind he is
transported back in time to relive one of the happier days of his life. It
was a time when no one argued, Willy and Linda were younger, the financial
situation was less of a burden, and Biff and Happy enthusiastically
welcomed their father back home from a long road trip. Willy's need for
the "drug" .....

Number of words: 423 - Number of pages: 2.... of the misery of all this charging rather than go along with it. She gets
blamed for many things that she did not do. For example she is accused of
poking Abby with a needle by a poppet.
Mary must also feel black because she meant no harm by putting a needle
inside of the poppet and yet she gets in trouble also. The black signifies
Elizabeth's anger hate for Abby. It is clearly shown when she says that Abby
should be ripped out of the world and that Abby is murder.
Black also signifies confusion. First of all when all the colors are
mixed together they form black. When ev .....

The Tragedy Of Hamlet
Number of words: 966 - Number of pages: 4.... 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 is that
nothing good comes out of them, b .....

Romeo And Juliet: Violence And Bloodshed
Number of words: 450 - Number of pages: 2.... had settings is Verona, I decided to find out a thing or two about the place. Reading the section on "climate" in Harold Rose's Yur Guide to Northern Italy, I noted that "Italy is a very hot place in the summer, also quite humid."
After reading this I then realized that a great deal of the violence in Romeo and Juliet become more understandable; they're all short tempered because of the heat! This is even noted when Benvolio warns Mercutio that " The day is hot, and Capulets abroad/And if we meet we shall not scape a brawl/ For now, these hot days, is the mad blood stirring." Unfortunat .....

But before he did he blinded himself in grief because of Jocasta killing herself .Now all this may not seem ironic but let me explain....
Though Oedipus could physically see he couldnt "see" the truth and when he was blind he "saw" the truth that he had fullfilled the prophecy . The irony behind his proclamation in t .....

The Last Wave
Number of words: 726 - Number of pages: 3.... to look beyond the obvious plot and storyline and into the meaning or what
the film/director is trying to tell us. The darkness in the film can be seen as
unconsciousness. It can also be seen as a prediction of the darkness that will
occur in the world when the last wave comes. The last wave meaning a giant
tidal wave that will cover the earth , killing humanity. This idea is similar
to the Christian belief in the flood that was sent down centuries ago to destroy
all the evil in the world. Also, all the modern aspects of the movie (courtroom,
David's office..etc) are filmed in light. Wh .....

Are Traditional Methods Of Rendering Obsolete Or Not
Number of words: 462 - Number of pages: 2.... methods of rendering images and type?' I feel that in the next 10 years there will be a flood of traditional style and people will be crying out for the personal touch of a photographer using chemicals in a darkroom. The images produced will not necessarily look traditional but they will use the methods traditionally used to produce effects which can't be produced by a computer. There are many different looks that can be produced by a camera e.g. pin hole cameras, old style cameras and Polaroid (Fig 1+2) which can produce unusual looking images.
Type
The traditional methods have, .....

Death In Hamlet
Number of words: 945 - Number of pages: 4.... Hamlet was required to seek "revenge (for) his (father's) foul and most unnatural murder" through killing Claudius, the murderer "with traitorous gifts" who killed King Hamlet. Claudius became aware that Hamlet knew the truth and that he was conspiring against him. As a result, he devised a fight in which Hamlet was slain by Laertes. However, before Hamlet died he managed to kill Claudius. Hamlet's determination to avenge his father's death is what led to his own death. But through these actions, he was able to honor and redeem his father, therefore dying a morally acceptable death.

The Silence Of The Lambs
Number of words: 698 - Number of pages: 3.... quick to make an accurate
judgement, as in with Frederick Chilton, the prison warden. I believed that she
was a very strong woman and was very careful to appear that way to others.
Clarice Starling did have a large change in herself. She began the
story with a careful mentality; a risk would have been unheard of. She was
always making sure she was doing something to the best expectations of someone
else. As the story moves on, she becomes more daring and risk-taking than ever
before. From disobeying direct orders to pursuing a serial killer in his own
dungeon of a basement, Clarice is .....
