Kundun: An Analysis

... history is merely an invention, full of cultural influence, it is important to consider the fact that different cultural groups will have entirely different accounts of the same event.

The Grapes Of Wrath: Movie Review

... could have just created a lynch mob, and eventually the people living in the development would leave. I believe that the economic situation of the country has a great effect on the fall, or succession of people like the Joads, but I don't believe government programs will effect them at all. For example, the great depression was a major economical event, and it greatly effected more then just people like the Joads, but programs like the public works administration which employed people for government construction projects. Another program, ...

... many details which the medium of film makes possible. The cinematography and sound track are glorious. The senses are overwhelmed in Branagh's introduction: Beatrice reads the song from Act II 4 accompanied by a guitar while sitting in a tree eating grapes--everyone else lolls about picnicking on a hill, birds chirp, all is peaceful. A messenger arrives to announce the approach of Don Pedro. Suddenly, the mood changes--the approaching soldiers are seen far below this bucolic scene, the sound track soars, a flag is whipping in the wind ...

Sir John Falstaff's Influence On Prince Hal In I Henry IV

... ability to discern and adapt to any situation, emerges as the most complex and paradoxical character in drama. Frequently, in literature, the sun represents royalty, or in this case the king, who strives to uphold law and order. Rhetorically, the moon, symbolizes instability, not only because it does not remain the same size to one's eyes as time passes, but because it reigns the ebb and flow of the tides. Therefore, as a knight guided by moonlight, Falstaff is a dissenter against law and order. This conclusion finds support in his witty t ...
