Forbidden Planet Comparison To Shakespeare's The Tempest
.... would seem to be in order,
with special attention as to how it relates to The Tempest.
In The Tempest, a man named Prospero and his daughter Miranda have been
exiled to a remote island which is completely uninhabited, save for an evil
monster and her son Caliban, and which is in a state of primal chaos. Using the
magical powers he has cultivated all his life, Prospero gradually brings the
forces of nature on the island under his control, and manages to somehow enslave
Caliban, whose mother has died in the interim. (Some of these details are fuzzy
because I am familiar with The Tempest only through Marx). A group of sailors
is .....

would not be a success, but it was a success morally. The people finally
learned that blacks were people. This movie was not only about the blacks having
their own regiment, but how they changed the public's views on them, and showed
them that they were humans.

Hello, My Name Is Orson Welles
.... seat.
Foremost, Welles's legendary long shot opens the film. These three
minutes and twenty seconds have many effects upon the viewer in introducing this
movie. The primary purpose of this shot is to slowly draw the viewer in to the
story by limiting the viewer's role in the film; he doesn't allow the viewer to
actively enter the world of the film. Rather, he constrains the viewer to
simply observe the actions presented without allowing the viewer to get involved
in the action. After the initial focus on the time bomb and its intrinsic
importance to the plot, the camera moves away from the action. At the same
point, Mancini's .....

Television Shows Reflect American Culture
.... of the times they shared together. This episode's tragedy brought the
characters in the show closer together.
Many innocent children, and sometimes adults, are killed accidentally
playing with guns, or by drive-by random shootings. This is a major problem in
the United States and the show is trying to get the message out that it is not a
safe thing to do. It also raises the question as to why access of guns is so
readily available to anyone.
Every night on the news, someone can see many incidents in which there
is suffering resulting from guns. Furthermore, the availability of guns makes
the public scared. Childre .....

I Didn't Do It: How The Simpsons Affects Kids
.... spiky haired children. Groening
intended for them to represent the typical American family "who love each other
and drive each other crazy". Groening named the characters after his own family.
His parents were named Homer and Margaret and he had two younger sisters named
Lisa and Maggie. Bart was an anagram for "brat". Groening chose the last name
"Simpson" to sound like the typical American family name. (Varhola, 2)
Brooks decided to put the 30 or 60 second animations on between skits on
The Tracy Ullman Show on the unsuccessful Fox network. Cast members Dan
Castellaneta and Julie Kavner did the voices of Home .....

All you have to do is surf saturday morning cartoons to see the violence.
The ninja turtles are a phenomenon that has captured the imaginations of movie,
Comic, and even cartoon fans across several generations. A group of young,
teenage turtles who use kung-fu against a group of different types of creatures.
This show animates explicitly how they battle these creatures to fight for
justice and the american way. They live in the sewers with their teacher who is

"In Cold Blood" Review
.... and Smith are not victims of forces beyond their
control, they are victims of, at least in Smith's case, a bad upbringing. The
two murderers have no direction in their lives. The only skills that Hickock
seems to know is how to steal things and how to write phony checks. Smith seems
more sane than Hickock, but all he has is his guitar and that is stolen in
Mexico. This is reason that these two resort to crime to solve their problems.
The film was very well structured in comparison to the book. Capote
purposely didn't tell the detailed version of the deaths until the end of the
book, and the same procedure was followed .....

The Meaning Of Chow Yun-Fat (It's In His Mouth)
.... greedily, goofy smile on his face. Blowing smoke,
dangling his toothpick, eating chocolate, or just smiling ... ultimately, when
trying to explain why Chow Yun-Fat is cool, it comes down to his mouth.
Everything I have said so far describes a subjective reaction to watching Chow
Yun-Fat on the screen. Fill in the name of your favorite actor or actress,
change the specific references, and this could be your essay. We don't learn
anything new from such subjective meanderings; we only identify taste
preferences. I'm proud to be a Chow fan, but then, I am proud to be a fan in
general. With other favorites of mine, though, I am able to .....

The James Bond Phenomenon
.... and slick.
Pierce Bronsman played also as a cool, slick James Bond, he really looked like
he was a spy, he kept his cool, I really liked that scene in Golden Eye when he
is at the tanks of fuel where the satellite comes out of the water and they are
shooting at him and there is sparks right next to his eye and he keeps on doing
what he is doing. Talk bout a great and intense scene there. Timothy Dalton
played as fast acting, nervous person as he played James bond. In my opinion he
looked very nervous and very like hyper, he really wasn't that good, but he
looked like he was a really bad acting Pierce Bronsman. Roger Moore, well .....

John Ford And Frank Capra: A Study Of Their Movies
.... movies, were mere ploys to divert the
sad reality of the time and in doing so Hollywood firmly defined its role as
entertainer not critic. Capra and Ford can also be accused of following this
pattern too, with other movies they made. The 30's were also a time of the great
studio system and one had to work under the control of these institutions,
although both directors managed to achieve enough fame and power that they could
create their own visions. With this power and fame, Capra and Ford were able to
turn out movies that went against the usual Hollywood style; critical of society,
authority, government, newspapers, the police a .....

because the feudalist time in which he was living in, was slowly dying. He
thought that if he could show people how many great hero(s) came out of this
time period it would revive and flourish once more. He then turned to history
to find such a hero. As needed to remedy the situation he found King Arthur of
Britain. Even though a English man or a Britainian, he was said to be the best
ruler to date (1500's.) Now that King Arthur has been chosen and changed a
little to fit in with chivalry, part of feudalism he now needed a teacher.
Researching even further he found a Druid priest by .....
