Lorraine Hansberry’s play “A Raisin in the Sun‚” was a radically new representation of black life‚ resolutely authentic‚ fiercely unsentimental‚ and unflinching in its vision of what happens to people whose dreams are constantly deferred. I compared Act One‚ Scene 2‚ in the play and the film. The setting in the play is on a Saturday morning‚ and house cleaning is in process at the Youngers. In the film‚ the setting is the same as play‚ with lighting and costumes. The plot in the play is when Mrs. Younger

will try to compare two films which are "A Birth of a Nation" directed by D.W.Griffith and "The Bicycle Thieves" directed by De Sica. After giving the story of the films‚ I will try to explain their technical features and their similarities. A Birth of a Nation by D. W. Griffith Griffith can be seen as the first ’modern’ director‚ his greatest achievements being the historical epics The Birth Of A Nation. When it was released‚ it was one of the longest films ever made‚ over three hours

Within a new trend in the Movies Industry‚ a lot of classic books are selected to be turned into films for the big screen. This is the case of the epic poem Beowulf‚ which dates from Anglo Saxon times and is considered as the earliest poem in the modern European language. In 2007‚ the American director Robert Zemeckis produced Beowulf. In my opinion he chose this poem as a source for a Hollywood movie because it carries valuable information about revelations and controversies of Old English social

PLAY vs FILM - ESSAY When a fictitious text is composed‚ it is ultimately a contextual reflection on the cultural‚ historical and social conventions of its time. David Williamson’s play ‘The Removalists’ (1971) and Antoine Fuqua’s 2001 film ‘Training Day’ both explore the abuse of authority‚ but both texts do so in very different ways. First and foremost‚ the composers of each text want the audience to consider the corruption that occurs in authority‚ particularly within the police force. In ‘The

Burton’s films include mythic themes of exile‚ death and ideas on childhood. His films have been nominated for several Academy Awards; he has won a few of them‚ mostly for his beautiful set design and makeup. Before Burton has started directing any of his films‚ he always sketches out his set design and make up ideas. Burton’s peculiar style is what sets him apart from other directors‚ but unlike some he wouldn’t like be known as a director with a certain type. In Burton’s career he has made around

Birds" by Daphne du Maurier and The Birds by Alfred Hitchcock‚ all types of birds begin to attack the people for an unknown reason. The short story and the movie each have a different way of presenting the main idea and creating suspense. Throughout the film and short story‚ we see how the citizen’s cope with the bird attacks and what happens to the birds. In my opinion‚ I thought that the movie was more suspenseful then the short story for multiple reasons. One important reason that I thought the movie

In “Romeo and Juliet‚” the death of Tybalt could have been caused by various reasons. Tybalt‚ a skilled swordsman‚ can be described as a tough and aggressive character who is always looking for a fight. However‚ he is loyal beyond words and honors the family rivalry between the Capulets and the Montagues. The family’s dispute‚ the Capulet’s party‚ and the relationships amongst the characters could possibly be related to Tybalt’s death. For centuries‚ the Capulets and the Montagues had loathe each

Lord of the Flies – Comparing and contrasting the book and the film When I was reading Lord of the Flies‚ the book delivered a lot of emotion‚ a lot of suspense was present and I enjoyed reading the story. Watching the film was a less pleasant experience. Evidently there are many differences between the book and the film; however‚ there are similarities as well. There are many differences between the book and the film: First of all‚ it is evident that the very detailed description cannot translate

of the jury‚ I strongly believe that Tybalt is the main culprit of Romeo and Juliet’s death. Tybalt is Juliet’s cousin‚ i.e. a Capulet. After he kills Romeo’s best friend‚ Mercutio‚ in a street brawl‚ Romeo mortally stabs him. This causes Romeo to be banished from Verona. Tybalt majorly contributed to Romeo and then Juliet’s death. If he hadn’t killed Mercutio in the first place‚ Romeo wouldn’t have been banished and Juliet wouldn’t have had the potion. Tybalt‚ the "Prince of Cats‚" tends to stalk
