I was maybe 13 when I saw Citizen Kane the first time. When it was over I couldn’t believe my reaction. My hands were shaking‚ my palms and arm pits sweaty. I felt my heart race like a jackhammer and I knew I more than watched a movie‚ I experienced one. True‚ I didn’t understand all the complexities of Kane‚ but I understood the phenomenal acting and fantastic drama. Years later I would understand more‚ but in that moment at 13 I saw storytelling for more than a two-dimensional celluloid. Citizen

The Wise Fools of Shakespeare “Infirmity that decays the wise doth ever make a better fool” – though uttered by one of his own characters Shakespeare does not seem to conform to this ideal. The fools carved by Shakespeare in his plays showed no resemblance to the mentally and physically challenged people who were treated as pets and used for amusement during the medieval period. Rather Shakespeare’s fools appear to be in the best of their wits when they are in possession of the wisest minds. Fools

The complete relationship between father and daughter is corrupted by an external meaning‚ which plays an important role. How blind and deft can a father be to not understand?

Wong 1 Wong Man Wai Rebecca Hopkins ENGLA102F 27 October 2013 1. This essay will explore two of the characteristics of the classical Hollywood style‚ which is the narrative form(story telling) and the realism and formalism. The narrative form is the overall dominant style in cinema. It follows a set of parameters on how films should be put together.

How can a person become so caught up in what others say and do‚ that they lose sight of who they really are‚ and pursue something they’re not? Othello is overcome with jealousy and let’s himself become caught up in suspicion; this is his fatal flaw which leads to his tragic downfall. On the other hand we have Macbeth who lets his life become ruled by ambition and is blind to the damage that this causes. This can only end one way and will bring an end to the horror of Macbeth. These are both plays

The Evolution of a Director’s style: Baz Luhrmann Topic 1‚ by Chrysoula Soteriades Baz Luhrmann who is well known for his flamboyant and extravagant cinematic techniques‚ his contract with story telling by making audiences feel apart of his movies and his philosophy of not using naturalism all come together to make him one of the most well known directors of all time‚ in my opinion he has not completely evolved from his Red Curtain Trilogy up until The Great Gatsby because he is still as exaggerated

They take little pieces of their heart‚ soul and mind and put them in their films‚ and because of this‚ diminutive pieces of the director are permanently

Assignment: Bias‚ Rhetorical Devices‚ and Argumentation The speech of Kane campaigning for Governor is full of bias. The bias starts from the opening seconds of the movie clip and continued through the speech. The man in the beginning of the movie clip demonstrated a bias in favor of Kane becoming Governor. These biases are created by labeling Charles Kane as a “friend of the working man” who is an ally of the under paid and under fed. This same Kane campaigner offers up a negative bias
