Disney’s “The Lion King” exemplifies the many struggles and triumphs of leadership in several ways.

Although decades of numerous incarnations have slightly diminished the stature of the vampire, the horror, seductiveness and mystery associated with it remains.

In F. W. Murnau’s Nosferatu, the vampire, unlike those in similar films, is unattractive and ghastly yet the fascination that grips those around him is remarkably disturbing. In this context, several metaphors emerge. This paper presents the metaphoric functions of the vampire in the film Nosferatu.

Movie Review of La Jetée Film and Analysis of the Theme of Obsession

Initial impressions

The film has made me feel sad on how radioactive substances used during World War III caused damage to the human race.
