Movie Review: Into The West

... (to find them), and in doing so finds his life returning to him. The major themes, among many, are: dealing with personal loss (letting go of and accepting a loss of something deeply valued), harm done by prejudice (pre-judgement of a person or people, usually unfair and harsh yet baseless), and knowing the boundary and limits of fantasy and reality (being aware and in control of how and why we create fantasy in our lives).

Except for the backdrop which would have some element of scenery, the stage itself would be bare apart from a few scenic elements and props.

The James Bond Phenomenon

... fourth, why? because I HATE George Lazneby and I have no where else to put him. George Lazenby comes in way last because he is not a actor, he is a talking mannequin. They have all gone through different types of adventures, well ok they were all action/spy problems but they were all different, in some ways anyway. Hey if they suck so much why can't you stop watching them? Why have they made so many of them? eh? thats what I thought.

Antigone: Creon

... the consequences of his acts can no longer be changed. Creon's tragedy in his inability to recognize that anyone else can be right and his failure to acknowledge a higher good than that of the state. In part, the characterization of Creon is Sophocles' commentary on the corrupting influence that absolute power has even on a good man, and is typical of the democratic Athenian attitude.
