In the original film (Hitchcock) the old dark and colorless film, the creep music provide the viewers an idea that something wicked is about to happen. Therefore again both directors did provide enough action to carry over to each scene. In the remake the casting was truly wrong; For instance the infamous character Norman Bates, the psychopathic motel owner was played by fast talking, macho man Vince Vaughn. In the remake the Norman appears to be more of a sexual predator, whom would actually please himself as he watch Marion through a peephole in the shower scene; which gives the audience a different point of view about this film and van sant character Norman. However in the original version Anthony Perkins plays Norman Bates, who truly fit the character with calmer attitude, and good boy looks as Norman.
Not particularly attractive, crippled, and a (closeted) homosexual, Sam seemed to be born to be pitied. Sam was, however, able to understand his dire need for a transformation through an analogy to magic and comics. He says: “To me, Clark Kent in a phone booth and Houdini in a packing crate, they were one and the same thing. You weren’t the same person when you came out as when you went in…. It was called ‘Metamorphosis.’” (3).
Finally, a cartoon about the Occupy Wall Street movement describes how the truth can mislead and warp meaning, thus creating perspectives that generate diverse and provocative insights. The role reputation plays is an idea that influences perceptions relevant to conflicting perspectives. In The Justice Game, Robertson accentuates his own perspective by juxtaposing the more progressive attitudes of his side of the case. Sarcastically, Robertson writes, referring to Judge Michael Argyle’s “novel campaign to end burglary by sentencing burglars to prison for life.”The word ‘novel’ provides sarcasm from the beginning, by discrediting Judge Michael Argyle QC, and pointing out that Argyle is a failed politician, ‘whose judgeship was a career consolation for the Tory MP he had tried several times to become’. Hence, Robertson’s perceptions influence the readers’ mind, which is exactly what he wants, and he continues to sway the reader’s perspective.
Identities Commentary Andrew Zhu The truth is not always what the perceptions and stereotypes define it as. In the W.D. Valgardson short story Identities, the setting and atmosphere is riddled almost entirely of uninhibited stereotypes. The character’s house, neighbourhood and even lifestyle is fitting of the stereotype of the perfect, honest existence. This monotonous, serenely boring life gave the man an excuse to break away from the mundane, going out on an outing; unshaven, uncharacteristic of himself.
He doesn’t even feel like learning it. Barton as a character is an elitist snob and he only shares his views with artists on the stage. He believes that he is living in hell, but he cannot define hell for himself. The most important theme of the movie is the process in which it has been written and the culture of entertainment production. The film tries to bring out the difference between the high and low culture of Hollywood.
The reality of evil however is relative, based on prejudice and point of view. At the conclusion of both films the main characters are painted, very questionably so, with an air of heroism. How is Travis really a hero for going on a psychotic killing spree? Should society be pleased to have him survive and rejoin life in their still troubled city? Ethan's treatment, on the other hand, seems a bit more just.
Bateman kills people for his own satisfaction, the nameless narrator does it because of his urge to get rid of an eye. Similarities Patrick Bateman and the nameless narrator both feel the judgement or "the eye" of the antagonist. This force them to do very drastic actions in order to control their psychological problems. The main character in American Psycho appears very normal to the public. This is getting clarified in the beginning of the movie, while doing his morning routine, this goes through his mind: "There is an idea of a Patrick Bateman; some kind of abstraction.
I will focus in how this particular kind of narrator is imitating the subjectivity of film noir and parodies it using irony. The film uses the resource of a voice-over internal narrator who is the protagonist, Harry Lockhart. He tells the story from outside of the story time, when the narrator is talking the story has already ended. Nevertheless, he is a restricted narrator because he only knows his part of the story and he does not know what are the thoughts or feelings of other characters. Bedsides the fact that he is a restricted narrator creates subjectivity, we only knows what he tells us and the fact that he includes personal opinions in his narration increase the subjectivity.
A critic from the Literature Network said “Poe's "The Tell-Tale Heart" consists of a monologue in which an accused murderer protests his sanity rather than his innocence. The point of view is the criminal's, but the tone is ironic in that his protestation of sanity produces an opposite effect upon the reader. From these two premises stem multiple levels of action in the story. The criminal, for example, appears obsessed with defending his psychic self at whatever cost, but actually his drive is self-destructive since successful defense upon either implied charge— of murder or of criminal insanity— automatically involves admission of guilt upon the other (1).” In summary, when Poe creates two personalities within one character, one part of the character will blame the other part of the character. Eventually on part of the character will give in and accept everything.
This can be seen when she gets exasperated with Joe playing with Bert over the police and criminal game and said to Joe that “there’s no jail here! I want you to stop that jail business!” The focus of this passage is about escalating tension in which the truth is slowly being revealed where more loopholes were seen and causing the people who once believed in Joe to be dubious over the issue now. In this passage, the truth that George holds is the one that deem Joe Keller as the criminal. George also believes that Chris know this truth that he holds and thus
