A memory is the opposite of a dream. Because Charlie is focused on his memories and past, he is mindless of the future. The narrator portrays Charlie’s whiskey glass as, “empty”, and the sole word used to describe the way he feels is, “alone”. Both of these words have a depressing, negative connotation which implies that Charlie lacks the desire and motivation to keep himself focused on his future. Charlie feels as if his life has come to a halt, and that he has no sense of direction after being denied custody of Honoria: “There wasn’t much he could do now except send Honoria some things”.
Dontae Dixon Professor Lawson Screenplay Analysis 26 May 2012 Inception Analysis Nolan’s directing abilities are impeccable and his abilities as a writer shine through Inception. His screenplays usually consist of protagonists who are obsession driven and have a dark past, Inception is no different. The main character Dominick Cobb is a dynamic character who seems calm and composed on the surface, but has a past riddled with misery and regret. Everything in the plot happens because of some point in Cobb’s past. The facets of each character in Inception add unique twists to an already ground breaking film.
This meant that he had to be the opposite of what his father was; he couldn’t bare even being a hair alike. By this becoming his purpose Okonkwo lost many qualities, and moments of his life that made him become instead of respected; feared.

Yet the reality of it is that this man is a king of great power whom they will soon bow down to. Another example of how characters can be perceived throughout the novel is shown throughout the journey of the main protagonist, he was also perceived by his appearance as a small, witless, futile and incapable to carry the great burden before him. Yet as the novel heads towards its crucial climax, he completes the task that many people perceive as impossible for him and rose to be the only one capable of such a task. Another Internal representation of perception is a main character who is perceived as a vile and psycho creature. It is later on shown that the story of this creature is a sad one and he is not at all what he is perceived to be.
Fincher is also remembered for being the director of the films The Curious Case of Benjamin Button and Panic Room. Fight Club appears to be a typical cult film or fight movie at first glass but upon further review you will easily see that there is much more than meets the eye. This movie is chock full of in depth main characters and a very heavy theme throughout. Though it yielded poor box office results there is a reason it was nominated for an Oscar and several other prestigious awards, as well as receiving rave reviews from critics nationwide. My analysis will start out by discussing the movies’ two main characters, Jack and Tyler Durden.

Most films about addiction are about people struggling to manage their lives perilously falling into a pit of despair. They replace their sense of responsibility with abhorrent behavior that is regarded as dangerous by loved ones – forcing the character to reflect and choose between their new reckless life or the life they used to know. In Shame, Brandon’s (Michael Fassbender) behavior has never evoked such a confrontation because he’s never led a conventional life, nor has he had intimacy with anyone, so he’s never ha wholesomeness to have threatened, causing him to confront his state. No, instead Steve McQueen’s film is about a man who inherently hates himself – but having lately felt absolutely empty – quietly needing love and desperately seeking reform for his sexual indiscretions. Brandon is a secretive man – bounded as such by the shame that haunts him – feeling volatile for the first time in his life.
