Analyse how important techniques are used to engage your emotions in a text you have studied. The Film “Schindlers List” directed by Steven Spielberg is a story of a German profiteer, a slave merchant, in Nazi Germany saving 1200 Jews from being murdered in concentration camps. Different techniques such as lighting, shot types, colour and performance are used to effectively engage the audience and make them feel sadness and sorrow at the horrors of the holocaust and maintain these emotions throughout the film. The technique of “lighting” is used throughout the film to highlight the importance of objects or people. A key example of this technique is the opening scene where we, the audience, are first introduced to Schindler.
The film Icicle Thief sets as homage of the famous neorealist film The Bicycle Thief. However, unlike the original The Bicycle Thief, the Icicle Thief uses meta-cinematic technology to show four different planes: the black-and-white film THE ICICLE THIEF, which describes the hardship of a Italian family during post-war; the television studio, where presents the black –and –white film; the middle class family watches the film on televisions; and the funny television commercials that keep interrupting the film. The interactions between the television commercials and the film characters lead the pure black-and-white film to absurd consequence, which ridicules the how modern society takes neo-realistic film into a part of consumerism. For the film Nuovo Cinema Paradiso, the Cinema Paradiso servers to brings joyous and pleasure to empty souls and pitiful lives during the post-war time period. The cinemas are far more than entertainment in people’s heart; they represent the hope and joy and led people to escapes from reality.
As with any social dilemma, there is bound to be an opposed group and those who advocate the standard being drawn. This can be seen in both the history of Nazi Germany and the tradition of stoning in The Lottery. In Nazi Germany, Hitler rose to power with the aid of an elite inner circle and certain other groups intended to facilitate his totalitarian rule. Opposing his regime were those who often found themselves in the gas chambers of Auschwitz. In The Lottery, the younger generations of the town's population have begun to speak out against the annual stoning (Jackson).
Italy was trying to recover the devastation caused by the Second World War but still suffering from unemployment and financial difficulties. And the story is told not only with dramatic elements but also with comic moments such as Alberto blocking Sandra in the wedding photo or workers on the roadside when vitelloni looking for Sandra In I vitelloni characters are described in voiceover narration. The story is told chronologically and episodic structure is mostly shaped by events of the town: the beauty contest, the annual carnival, theater play. First and foremost, Fausto as the “spiritual leader of the group” is a key in the plot of the film by impregnating Sandra (Moraldo’s sister), which we learn in the beauty contest sequences, and later getting married her, their honeymoon in Rome, unwillingly taking the job in a religious statuary shop, which his father-in-law finds him, flirting with other women constantly even if his wife sits next to him, Sandra’s run away when Fausto spends the night in somewhere else and their reunion. With related scenes Fellini shows us the other characters.
The subjects of Dachau were careless that their city was going to turn into the source of death camps and of the Holocaust, the mass homicide conferred by the Nazi s in World War II. Dachau Concentration Camp, which would soon be set on the edge of their group, would serve as a model for all Nazi elimination camps. This impeccable model of a Nazi executing machine now speak to the begin of the unpleasantness filled Holocaust and the Nazi's determination to accomplish a flawless pop culture throughout World War II. On March 21, 1933, just two months after Adolf Hitler was delegated Chancellor of Germany, Heinrich Himmler, the Commander of the Schutzstaffel (SS) Elite Police Force and a standout amongst the most effective men in Nazi Germany, requested that a camp for political rivals be based on the grounds of a betrayed explosive manufacturing plant on the edge of the little group of Dachau, close Munich. The Nazi-controlled daily paper, the Vð"â¶lkischer Beobachter (deciphered Racial Observer) gladly broadcasted that the first death camp, with a limit of in excess of 5000 detainees, would be secured close Dachau.

Willy Loman and the Common Misconception of the “American Dream” Throughout Arthur Miller’s play, Death of a Salesman, Willy Loman chases after the popular “American Dream” of the 1900s-to be a successful businessman with the white picket fence around your house, modern technology (such as cars and refrigerators), and the satisfaction of being able to provide for your own family. Unfortunately, this chase causes the Loman family to fail in their jobs and eventually leads Willy to commit suicide. It is easy to blame Willy for his death by simply calling him crazy, however there are many different factors that added to Willy’s fragile state. Fred Ripkoff states that in order to understand the identity crisis of Loman (and other Miller characters), that “it is necessary to understand shame’s relationship to guilt and identity.” (1). Willy struggled with finding his identity because he was so caught up in his chase for his “American Dream”.
Casablanca, set in French Morocco in December 1941, is a story about trying to escape your past, the power of luck and the difficulties of neutrality during a time of war. The story centers around Rick Blaine and his cafe, Rick's Cafe American, where refugees come looking for transit papers out of Casablanca to Portugal to escape the Nazis. It also centers around a set of transit papers that Rick has and everyone wants. When a Czech nationalist and his wife show up looking for the papers, it sends Rick into a bender as he was once lovers with the wife back in Paris and seeing her again does not help. The biggest foreshadowing moment is when the transit papers come into Ricks possession.
I had to write it tailored to my teachers questions. And there are spoilers. The Godfather introduces you to the life of an Italian-American mobster family. This brilliantly written film shows a realistic view of the mobs in the 1940’s and 50’s. It’s a dark yet a human portrayal of men who were greatly feared in that time period.
Italian neorealist film style became world recognised in 1946 when Roberto Rossellini made Rome Open City. The film clearly depicted the venerable struggle of every day Italian people, as they try to resist the difficulties they faced under German occupied Rome. This changed film forever as it didn’t follow traditional cinematic trends. This opened doors for film makers, as realism as a style meant you could literally shoot anything. This gave them the opportunity to visually tell the true stories of human reality.
