story to the equation, and the story is a success,

same time. James Cameron manages to really make

Representations Of The Black Male In Film

A systematic exclusion of black people from the
production, distribution, and exhibition of film
exists in Hollywood. This "system" is white
America's continuing subversion of a whole race
that has existed since the first slave was dragged
from African soil and put to work on an American
plantation. In these "politically correct" times
the system is not an overt racist activity.
Rather, it is more of a hidden political agenda
that does not appear to exist when looked for. But
the system operates...

Point Of View King Lear
762 words
The usual method of analyzing Shakespeare's
characters is to tabulate what they say and do,
and add what other characters say about them.
Though this is possible method and one which
occupies a prominent place in the Shakespearean
critical tradition known as character criticism,
it can be misleading as it starts from the wrong
end. Shakespeare did not begin by inventing
characters and then search for a suitable plot to
embody them. His characters are largely defined by
their roles or by their fu...

Late Nineteenth Century Edgar Degas
718 words
The impressionist age was a time of artistic
rebellion to the common standards of art in late
nineteenth century France. Rather than painting in
the traditionalist fashion, focusing on exotic
subject matter, powerful figureheads and historic
scenes, impressionists painted everyday life as it
was. The impressionists were known for using
bright, unmixed colors to illustrate luminosity
through texture. They opted for less detail in
order to create an overall effect. "The
impressionists allowed thei...

Black And White Film Black And White Viewer

Alfred Hitchcock is renown as a master
cinematographer (and editor), notwithstanding his
overall brilliance in the craft of film. His
choice of black and white film for 1960 was
regarded within the film industry as
unconventional since color was perhaps at least
five years the new standard. But this worked
tremendously well. After all, despite the typical
film goer? s dislike for black and white film,
Psycho is popularly heralded among film buffs as
his finest cinematic achievement; so much so, ...

George Frederick Handel Handel Was Born Music

George Frederick Handel George Frederick Handel
was born on February 24, 1685 in Halle, Germany.
One of the greatest composers of the late baroque
period (1700 - 50) and, during his lifetime,
perhaps the most internationally famous of all
musicians. Handel was born February 24, 1685, in
Halle, Germany, to a family of no musical
distinction. His own musical talent, however,
expressed itself so clearly that before his tenth
birthday he began to receive, from a local
organist, the only formal music...

Great Expectations Real Life

The very title of this book indicates the
confidence of conscious genius. In a new aspirant
for public favor, such a title might have been a
good device to attract attention; but the most
famous novelist of the day, watched by jealous
rivals and critics, could hardly have selected it,
had he not inwardly felt the capacity to meet all
the expectations he raised. I have read it as it
appeared in installments, and can testify to the
felicity with which expectation was excited and
prolonged, and to ...

Escape From Reality Good And Evil

Harry Potter Literature that children are exposed
to often gives them ideas and provokes them to
think and draw their own conclusions about things,
it also provides a necessary escape from reality
for them. This is why censoring childrens books
can be rather destructive to their developing
minds. If the tools with which kids are given to
sharpen their minds are banned, then a little part
of their education is stolen from them. With every
theft of knowledge the future is too robbed of

Plot Humor Murder
291 words
In using the secondary or supporting actors for
comic relief, Hitchcock colorfully rounds out the
plot atmosphere and provides some added importance
to them instead of using them as cardboard cutouts
(as happens in most films). The humor gives the
viewer a temporary break from concentration on the
plot and other elements. But it also
simultaneously enhances significant points of
these elements from an alternate angle. That is,
Hitchcock's humor will have the attentive viewer
examine the film eve...
