Even though Rome, Open City has the obvious advantages available to the filmmaker, in the sense that any desired sort of reality is open for creation, the rendition that Rossellini produces is one that comes very close to reality. The raw nature of the neorealist technique actually led to a higher level of creativity. The dialectical montage that occurs in the use of mixing in newsreel footage with the main action at times lends a jarring rhythm to the film, but it also lends a sense of authenticity to the events, as the news items verify the factuality of wht ...

Part 1

Euripides’ Medea puts up a very strange and ambiguous idea of morality and justice. Even though Medea commits horrendous crimes we are made to question who exactly is the villain in the play. It makes us question the set patterns of justice. She is a witch who to some may only have lured her husband to herself through witchcraft, however because of the dramatic action that is taking place one is continuously forced to think about the other side of the story. Isn’t Medea being driven to do what she does? Wouldn’t most people simply collapse if they were ...

The 1964 Volkswagen television advertisement “Snow Plow” uses rhetorical persuasion including ethos, pathos, and logos, to convince the audience that their Beetle is a reliable and resourceful automobile that drives well in snow. The one minute black and white commercial begins when a man enters a garage on a dark and snowy morning, gets into a VW Beetle and begins driving down treacherous and snowy roads. When he gets to his destination, the narrator asks the audience “have you ever wondered how the man who drives a snowplow, drives to the snowplow? This man drives a Volkswagen, so you ...

In Defense of Literature: Art, Life, and Edson’s Wit

Margaret Edson’s monumental play Wit is a short but impactful piece that deals with a number of different themes throughout the course of the single act. Looking at Edson’s one-act play in the context of Florence Dee Boodakian’s statement, “Literature goes beyond life. It is art; it is an imaginative creation that can tell truths gracefully, subtly through narrative, poetry, and the movement of characters on a stage. Any imaginative act suggests possibility, and this is another reason to continue studying literature” encourages the reader or viewer to use the contrasting themes of life and death as well as ...

Whose story would you tell? Around whose basic point-of-view would you build the screen play? How will you resolve the story?
I would choose to write the screen play from the point of view of the journalists who are conducting the sting operation. It would portray the various attempts of the media to establish a connection between the regulatory authorities and the drug dealers and through this point of view the film would expose the regulatory system of Ireland, that the Government and the Police’s involvement in such dealings.

Among the saleable list of material items romance has been included both as a commodity and as an exchange means for other commodities. Taking advantage of the feebleness of humans’ inability to control their appetite and conspicuous growth in that weakness, the media has assisted immensely in fueling the concept of love as an idea, a mere delight for entertainment or a clown for the circus.

Films and poetry generally offer the viewer or the reader a trip into a fantasy world which serves as an escapade from the not –so-perfect reality.

They prove that the official picture of a happy and contended society, projected by the soviet government is a lie and brings before the viewers eyes, all the faults that are prevalent in the system and aims at bringing a social change. There are ...

Emotions. Both the plays invoke different kinds of emotions in a viewer with respect to their themes and underlying meanings. Both plays are about redemption and the value of good deeds in order to achieve it. In Shepherd’s Play, the shepherds’ spiritual side is veiled under their material burdens, but the general tone of complaint is something anyone can relate. It invokes feelings of self-pity, as Coll so deftly puts it in the beginning of the play

We are so hammed,
Fortaxed, and rammed,
We are made hand-tamed
With these gentlery-men. (Shepherds' Play 23-26)
