In Sullivan’s Travels, the montage of the casualties of the Depression that Sullivan witnesses underscores everything that the movie had previously eluded too. Like Sullivan, the audience does not appreciate how horribly that time affected people and those few seconds articulated the sentiment like no words could. The movie itself, made during the Depression, does what Sullivan realizes he needs to do—make a movie that gets people to laugh through the hard times. As Sullivan says, “There's a lot to be said for making people laugh… It isn't much, but it's better than nothing.” While in Mr. Smith Goes to Washington, there is not one line that sums up the entire movie’s premise, there is a lot more than one montage to show us. The audience sees Mr. Smith fighting for something he believes in, despite everything that suddenly hits him.
“ I thought back to times we’d sat still for afternoons , never moving a muscle, just shifting our weight along the ground, talking to whoever sat with us, watching things. He’d always had a joke, then, too, and now you couldn’t get him to laugh, or when he did it was more the sound of a man choking , a sound that stopped up the throats of other people around him” (Erdrich 112-113.) Lyman and Henry’s brotherly relationship had taken a turn for the worse. While Henry was gone Lyman purchased a television set for the family, which he he regretted not having when Henry started to watch it. “ He sat in front of it, watching it, and that was the only time he was completely still.
Most of the tempos are extremely slow and a mellow romantic tone. There is sound in movies that are not to dramatize the scene but to rather notify the audience that this is an important scene coming up. There are specific elements that should evident, the movement and tone of actors must be believable to convey a story. After viewing trailer, two films come to mind in which the music, narrative, and structure was changed to present two very different themes, one of cheerfulness and the other of horror. The costumes, expressions and music executed, to get the desired end.
This scene could be symbolic to an ideal picture of family and love, with a father reading to his son next to a warm fire. The man and boy also demonstrate love for one another when they are rummaging for food. This happens multiple times throughout the book, especially when the father finds a can of coke. He gives the coke to the boy as a treat, but the boy says that he should have some too. This shows the love between both the father and the son.
In fact, Gaz’s primary motivation for the strip show is to raise the money for payments his ex is demanding from him so he can continue to see Nathan. At the start of the film, it is revealed that Nathan does not genuinely enjoy spending time with his father and is embarrassed by what Gaz is planning. After some encouragement from Gaz, Nathan comes to an acceptance of the scheme and begins to help them out. Through the hand Nathan lends to the preparation of the strip show, Gaz and Nathan’s relationship is improved and Gaz becomes more aware of Nathan’s actual needs as a child. Gaz has a key role in the organization of the strip show.
This is shown in scenes in the house/headquaters where there are bland colours and it looks like a fortress which indicates the unhappiness and sadness of the people within it. When Bruno leaves the house however the landscape vastly changes as bright elegant colours are flourishing in the environment he is in. This creates happiness as this is what the innocent boy is feeling. However when he reaches the fence (which is a barrier to them both connecting) the environment turns back to bland colours with a plain dirt environment indicating the death of all living things. The use of these landscapes shows that the history of these camps and headquarters are horrific and cause sadness but through an oblivious childs mind his memory will see it as a time where he made a new friend and was happy.
Everything form what these men are wearing to the things they speak about are foreshadowing the unfolding events. Form the beginning, there are clues to hint that things are not going to go well for Fortunato. The name Fortunato is considered dramatic irony because to most, being buried alive is not a fortunate event. Also, when the two friends meet “it [is] about dusk” and just as the sun is setting in the sky it is also quickly setting on Fortunato’s life (180). As the two men get together, Montresor tells Fortunato “[they] are lucky [they] met” (180).
He drank to make his problems go away and he had meaningless sex to make himself feel better , but it didn’t! Curly would come for him soon but he didn't know when , he could only bide his time. As george walked down the street he noticed that it was surprisingly empty, he walked home alone with the Curly constantly on his mind. George was in the barn cleaning out the horses stables, He just couldn’t stop looking over his shoulder , he was so worried that it made him slip on the wet surface of the stable floor, he hit his head on one of the stables gates and blacked out. He awoke to a dark, barely lit room , he tried to stand up but his hands and feet were tied to the chair he was sitting on.”WHERE AM I ?
Ray continues with his self-centered behavior once they run across something that he actually is interested in, the film crew. Ray is immediately fascinated and is quick to point out that watching the film is “the best bit of Bruges so far” (14). It is evident that Ray is looking for distractions from what they are really doing in Bruges. Ray isn’t ashamed to make known his disgust with Bruges and the fact that there is little in Bruges that is of interest to him. He is even more upset when he finds out that Harry sent him to Bruges as his “one last joyful memory” before dying (58).
After hearing this Henry was angry with himself for running away. “He turned away amazed and angry.” (Crane, 47) Henry then decided that he could not return to his regiment because they would hate him for running away from the battle, so he ran off into the woods. He came across a regiment of all wounded men and joined them. While marching with the wounded regiment he felt out of place because he did not have any wound. “He wished that he, too, had a wound, a red badge of courage.” (Crane, 57) As he was marching with the wounded regiment he found his friend Jim, who was wounded badly on his side.
