Nathanial Brown In the 2011 Australian film ‘Red Dog’ directed by Kriv Stenders many issues relating to Australian identity are addressed including the stereotypical Australian values such as conflict with authority and mateship. Stenders uses skilful camera and visual techniques to portray a realistic 1970’s context throughout the movie. Throughout the movie it is evident that Stenders portrays his values and attitudes such as rebellion against authority that abuses power and independence.

prefer modern day films to silent films. I agree with you that silent films are very boring and dull compared to modern day films. Modern day films have more advanced technology making the film better in general. But it is good to understand and learn about silent films even though you don’t enjoy them‚ they are an important part of history. Modern films have a lot of characters and have a bigger better storyline to follow. There are plenty of other things that make modern day films better like music

When it appeared in the eighth (and final) Impressionist exhibit in May of 1886‚ Georges Seurat’s A Sunday Afternoon on the Grande Jatte—1884 (FIG. 1) left an indelible impression on the critics‚ artists‚ and public of the time. Here was a painting that was a collage of contradictions—impressionist paintings were all about modernity‚ plein air painting‚ spontaneity‚ and improvisation. The Grande Jatte was a painting of modern life‚ but it was hardly impressionistic. There was nothing spontaneous

only a few similarities between ’Afternoons’‚ by Philip Larkin‚ and ’Churning Day’‚ by Seamus Heaney. These feature mainly in the structure of the two poems. They both use enjambment for the whole length of the poem‚ with just one end-stopped line present in each. Enjambment gives both poems a sense of continuous movement. This is appropriate in ’Churning Day’ as it represents the motion of the person churning the butter. It also makes the voice of ’Churning Day’ sound out of breath‚ as if they are

The comedy-drama film “Year of the Dog” is indeed an inspirational one to me. It introduced the main character name Peggy Spade who is an average office assistant that has a difficult time fitting in with others around her. Peggy’s quirky personality made her bond more with her dog Pencil‚ resulting in the lack of her social life. This film depicts how the lost of Peggy’s dog led to her discovery of her own vocation on being an animal activist and opens up opportunities of romance as a replacement

Afternoon tea Tea in England was initially served in coffee houses. Due to high taxation it was expensive‚ and only affordable for the very wealthy. Despite the cost‚ tea drinking became widely popular‚ and tea sellers such as Thomas Twining started selling dry tea‚ so that ladies who could not frequent the coffee houses could enjoy it. Tea was very valuable‚ and was kept by the lady of the house rather than in the care of the housekeeper. It was the lady of the house also who would serve the tea

The film felt like a visual representation of 1984 with myriad similarities in the ministry of information and the total control‚ but at the same time‚ total chaos. I was most intrigued and provoked by the representation of terrorists in the film and the innocent people caught in the crossfire. There is a clear connection between that representation as no one really ever finds out who the terrorists are and the current climate today in representing refugees as terrorists. This paranoia and fear of

An undertaking in some postmodernist writings‚ evidently present in Marquez‚ Balthazar’s Marvellous afternoon is of the literature of the absurd- is to subvert the foundations of our accepted modes of thoughts and experience so as to reveal the meaninglessness of existence and the underlying ‘’abyss‚’’ or ‘’void’’‚ or ‘’nothingness’’ on which any supposed

I watched the movie Training Day. This movie shows many examples of unmoral and unethical police work. Denzel Washington is a narcotics detective for the LAPD named Alonzo Harris. His methods of enforcing the law are very questionable during the film‚ if not corrupt. Harris’ job is to train rookie Jake Hoyt over a 24-hour period. Many Ethical dilemmas arise for Hoyt and this presents questions for him whether or not to follow along with Harris‚ and if his methodology for ridding the streets in South
