Even though I may quarrel over insignificant details with my little brother, he's always my number one priority whenever I leave the safe castle of home. I'm also proud of who I am and what I do. Whenever I'm really determined to do something, I would do whatever necessary to achieve it. On the other hand, I'm not nearly as tough or adamant as Squeaky is. The kinds of people I hate most are those who lag around dragging a group down.
It's half a brilliant political satire, half a surreal comedy of errors. Causality of the characters and the “chilled out” dialogues only add to the brilliant script. The acting is top notch, deNiro and Hoffman are hilarious and spunky. The first and second part of the film is full of dark humour, excitement and sarcasm. The last third of the film is powered by too much of conventional drama giving away the ending way too easily.
While Shakespeare does use Iago’s soliloquy to encourage the audience to admire him, the soliloquy also highlights his incredible aptitude for malice. The continued metaphor of Iago’s jealousy being an ailment to him, “doth, like a poisonous mineral, gnaw my inwards” and expressed further on where he vows to give Othello “a jealousy so strong/that judgment cannot cure”, brings a sense of paranoia and mania to him. This paranoid side to Iago is further emphasized when he alleges Othello of having “leaped into my [his] seat”, his
Reasonable Eccentric Behavior of Dorian Gray . In the book, The Picture of Dorian Gray, Dorian Gray is a handsome and proper man, but on the inside he is full of madness, guilt and misery. Initially he’s a melodramatic and petulant young man , but after realizing his true morals –his life skews toward the futile side. Instead of fixing his life, he lives for the pursuit of pleasure which makes him indifferent. Although his actions are very insane, they can be seen as rational to reader considering hedonism.
The documentary also provides basic novelty as well as sufficient facts to invoke conscious, raw emotions, such as: pure anger, deep sorrow, and ultimate frustration. Although it doesn’t provide amusement in an entertaining fashion, it does keep the viewers attention and educates them on the dilemma being presented. The film creatively varies its distribution of information through, viable pictures, dramatic quotes, and emotional interviews. The intense contrast of their heart-wrenching tears to their deeply
What would a movie be without a flawless cast? Leonardo DiCaprio, who plays the main protagonist as Dom Cobb, puts on a perfect performance in Inception. The other cast members such as Ellen Page and Joseph Levitt play out their parts so well that it engulfs the viewer with the right amount of emphasis to believe their reality. I believe that the Inception crew was perfect because everyone’s acting was on point and they all work together to produce a fabulous cast. Another reason why Inception is the most interesting movie I’ve ever watched is because it allows the viewer to think about what is going to happen next.
Sounds like a lot to swallow doesn’t it? It is. But that’s the beauty of the film: despite all the twists and turns and oddball characters, it is incredibly easy and enjoyable to follow. This is largely due to the outstanding performances of John Turturro as Barton Fink, our protagonist, and John Goodman as Charlie Meadows, Barton’s friendly neighbor (for now). Turturro’s apprehension and awkwardness is captured brilliantly through his mannerisms, and Goodman is an excellent counter to that as a character the audience couldn’t possibly like any more.
He is manipulative and cunning. He is an excellent judge of people and their characters, and uses this to his advantage. However, like most villains, Iago is ‘two-faced’, he is not what he appears and this provides a sound alibi for his plans. Iago is also very dominating, he strives to succeed and reach his objectives. However, it is the way in which he goes about this that is unique and what makes him the extraordinary character he is.
Satire is one of the key elements in any quality comical text. There are so many techniques involved in the broad spectrum of satire, including ridicule, irony and exaggeration, just to name a few. Satire (if understood) makes the text more enjoyable and worthwhile for the responder. This art of comicality has been lost through the years and it would benefit the audience to see a wider variety of texts using such a valuable perception on humanity. But there have been some excellent texts written and filmed that use this technique to its full extent.
a quick wit accompanied by extraordinary intelligence and a perspicacity for the journeys he must endure and the adversaries that he will have to thwart. Although, epic heroes are created to be a personification of perfection, they also have flaws. These flaws can be used against them by their enemies or even themselves. An essential part of becoming an epic hero is over conquering those flaws or learning to work with them. The two texts that we read contained to easily distinguishable epic heroes.
