McClain Mercer In every document it was about the progressive age. After taking a closer look at it I seemed to think it was all related to one man.

After graduating from the Imperial Ballet School in 1921, Balanchine enrolled at the state’s Conservatory of Music where he studied piano and musical theory. Balanchine’s musical background gave him an advantage over other choreographers because he more fully understood the music he was dancing to (“Biography”).

Kane once told Thatcher years before money led to his downfall: “If I hadn’t been rich, I might have been a really great man.” Although, he was flawed and self-serving, Kane was a very strong man who had power to control American citizens’ thoughts and very wealthy to live in a giant house that looks like a castle with numerous servants, ridiculously expensive statues, and a private zoo. Even when he was a child, Kane was a strong
Everyone assumes that directors and writers decide what happens in a movie, but many times the movie star is the most powerful person involved with the project. For instance, when Jim Carrey wanted to make a movie about his favorite number, The Number 23 hit theaters across the country.

Compare and Contrast Essay Ridley Scott, despite waiting until he was almost forty years old to make his first film, quickly became one of the most respected directors working in Hollywood. Scott was regarded as one of the best to his peers, thanks to classics like Alien (1979) and Blade Runner (1982). However, he did suffer harsh criticism, particularly with Thelma and Louise (1991), 1492: The Conquest of Paradise (1992), and White Squall (1996). Most directors would have wilted under the crushing failure, but Scott’s imperviousness to failure and drive to soldier on led him to achieve enormous success, starting with his Oscar-winning historical epic, Gladiator (2006), and American Gangster (2007), which earned the director his third Academy Award nomination for Best Director.
