She was rejected, exposed, and abused to the point where it was a norm. One of her ex boyfriends openly admitted that he rejected her and called her names in public. It must have been humiliating when even your significant other is ashamed to be close to you, even after your family casts you away. These types of episodes can surely have a psychological effect on anyone, including Aileen.
This explains his delirious and strange dreams from the aftermath of the murders. Continuing the investigation, Mr. Raskolnikov ends up confessing the murders to the love of his life, Sonya. In chapter V page 413 Raskolnikov confesses the crime to Sonya; “I wanted to have the daring… and I killed her. I only wanted to have the daring, Sonia! That was the whole cause of it!” My determination of this specific confession portrays Mr. Raskolnikov’s pride.
His tactic was always similar, inviting his victims to watch pornography or take some pictures at his home. Then he drugged and strangled them to have sex with the corpse and then masturbate on them. After taking pictures of the body and every stage of the dismemberment he used to use acid to break up the meat and bones but used to keep the head and genitals as a trophy. Another feature of him was that he used to eat part of his victims; this gave him the sensation that they formed part of him. On July 22, 1991, Tracy Edwards his last victim managed to escape from him while being handcuffed.
Paula Castellanos # 4 Ms.Farmer 3rd Period In the movie Edward Scissorhands, Tim Burton uses eye line match and non-diegetic sounds to emphasize and develop Edwards’s emotions and feelings through the film. When Edward is hugging Kim he wants to touch her face and her body but he can’t. The director uses eye line match during the flashback between Edward’s face and his hands to show how much he wanted to become a normal person like everyone else. It makes the audience feel sorry for him, but it also reflects the sadness that has been always with Edward’s character. As another example when Edward was trapped in Jim’s house he was trying really hard to open the door but it was impossible because of his “condition” , Burton also uses eye line match during this scene between his hands, the lock’s door and his face to highlight how different life is for Edward even in the smallest details.
Secondly, I believe it uses Pathos. When Jake tells the jurors that he is going to tell them a story and wants them to close their eyes is when it starts to get emotionally heavy; especially when he goes into every detail of how the two white men grabbed the little girl and raped her. Some emotional terms Jake uses to promote pathos are, shattering everything innocent and pure, vicious thrusts, fog of drunken breath and sweat, killed her tiny womb, and murdering any chance of her to bear children. These gruesome terms are used to get through to the jurors and make them realize the severity of this case. Jake builds a bridge with the audience towards the end when he starts to get emotional and cry.
Victor’s two years of alienation between himself and society during his process of creating the monster parallel the period of a woman’s confinement before labor. By depicting Victor as “so thin and pale’ [he looks] as if [he] had been watching for several nights” (Shelley 360), Shelley contends that confinement sickens one’s body and mind. She also suggests that confinement has an adverse effect on the baby because even though Victor has to endure “infinite pain and care” (Shelley 34), he still produces a disastrous monster, which is dangerous for himself and society. Victor’s creation is just like his “crime and punishment” (Halberstam 2). Because of Victor’s feeling of being alienated he invented a monster and has to consequently pay by it with his life and his life and his loved one.
The movie opens with the characters being introduced and falling in love. This is shown through the narration of Holly who often tells the story with no emotion and in a very neutral way. It is also done through the use of montages of images of him at work and her in her everyday life, than the transition from their ordinary lives to their killing spree is created through a montage of Holly’s house in flames in which we see her toys and the things in her room burning which clearly signifies her loss of innocence. From then on, the movie is told through a series of events, it breaks all the conventions of the crime genre because it is slow paced and has very little action, when there is a shooting, we are not shocked and neither are the characters, it is almost as if it had never happened and as if it didn’t matter. The fact that the structure of Badlands is so neutral tells us a lot about the nature of the film and the greater meaning.
The close-up shots in particular create suspense by manufacturing a sense of confinement/imprisonment for the characters, as well as the viewer. Hitchcock targets gender ideology in his films by plugging into man's supposed fear of being feminized. As such, Hitchcock often deals with male characters who are feminized/emasculated in some form or another. For example, the protagonist in Rear Window, a photographer, is confined to his apartment after breaking his leg taking an action shot at an automobile race. Questions of gender arise when analyzing Jeff's new passive, immobile role — one that is quite different from his prior role as that of an action photographer.
Lady Gaga – Paparazzi The camera work is used in this video to show different aspects of the “celebrity” character, when the camera is above the character in the video the video still shows him as an innocent character, using facial expressions and sub-titles. After this point he is mainly shot form below because he then tries to murders someone after seeing the paparazzi. This shows the relationship between the lyrics and the images because the song is about the paparazzi having a need for the celebrity, and visa versa. The unsteady movement of the camera at time is to create the haste and movement of the paparazzi, this works well with the lighting (flashing) to put the audience in the paparazzi shoes and almost experience the panic they create, once again a theme from the lyrics. A lot of close ups and extreme close ups are used when the camera moving fast as well, this once again is to create effect from the lyrics, the close ups could connote represent the invasion of privacy the paparazzi create.
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.
