    The Cabinet Of Dr Caligari Essay

    As I prepare to watch “The Cabinet of Dr. Caligari” and get comfortable, I noticed no sound when I pressed play. At first I thought that it could have been my laptop that was in mute or a malfunction on YouTube. Surprisingly I noticed that it was a silent film. I had never watched any of these movies so I automatically thought it was going to be boring and I would fall asleep during the movie. The first few minutes I was not paying too much attention because lack of interest.…

Although written with varied contexts, focuses and perspectives, After the Bomb texts are influenced by the invasive power of political axioms that existed post WWII and the the personal ramifications of challenging societal values. Composers questioned the commonly held notions of truth, challenging antithetical social dialogues. George Clooney's retrospective film, Good Night, and Good Luck and Allen Ginsberg’s provocative poem Howl condemn the conservative ways of thinking and the perceived…

    Again, the viewer chose the theme “Power of Tradition” to match the story and movie. The theme matches well to both the story and movie because as the viewer could see, both stories were showing how tradition can make us do things, and we think it’s OK to do them. But when we follow tradition, we do things as in killing,or persecute, things we care about. The viewer thought the movie was better because the movie showed more emotion and it was easier to tell what was going on.

    Movie Trading Places Themes

    I personally enjoyed the film, although they suggested the events that were to occur later, I kept watching with enthusiasm because I wanted to see how they would play out. The diction that the brothers used throughout the film created a negative attitude towards them, although Winthorpe and Billy Ray were the ones to be involved in a legal mess, other characters gained sympathy. Ophelia and Coleman were the ones I was rooting for, they had a job of taking care of others needs from the beginning of the film, and were taken advantage of without receiving appreciation. The wealthy characters such as Penelope and her friends, through the diction and the events were not very liked. The story plaid on a serious issue, which was people’s overwhelming need to consume no matter who or how many people they took advantage of.…
