For doing what Brutus was honored for.” In this quote it Booth clearly states that in his mind during the shooting he thought he was acting as if he were Brutus in “Julius Cesar”. Booth thought his act of violence would get him honored just as Brutus was. Obviously some psychological disorder was present that he couldn’t distinguish real life from the play. Another quote which is influential towards logos is what the killer “allegedly” stated after the Aura shooting “I am the Joker” before opening fire.” This conveys the same state of mind Booth was in when he shot Lincoln. He believed he was in the Batman movie and was playing the Joker.
Contrary to his unwavering independence in technique and style Spike Lee has taken on the challenge of film remake. Remaking a movie is always tricky, particularly when the original has an already strong following. The 2013 remake of the Past Chan-wook’s classic, Old Boy had Lee’s critics wondering why he engaged in such a dark film. When Chan-wook’s Old Boy hit theatres in 2003, it was praised for its unique structure, it’s magnificent and action packed fight scenes, and it’s visual flair, making Spike Lee a very bold choice to adapt the film for an American audience. It’s not a shot for shot remake of the original or the 2003 version, but like Chan-wook’s version, it’s graphic so don’t watch this on a fall stomach.
However, use of sound is particularly important to this movie. Hitchcock used sound to set the mood and to keep you guessing at what would happen next. Sound was used to build up to creepy, suspenseful moments and to keep you on the edge of your seat throughout the whole movie. To do this, Hitchcock used not only music, but also many types of background noises such as a radio playing a commercial, street noises, and the sound of people arguing, to set the mood in the beginning. In later scenes, Hitchcock used such things as the phone ringing in the murderer’s apartment right after he finished hiding his wife’s body, and creepy music and footstep noises when the
Nazifa Alam 03/07/11 B/D3 Beowulf Compare and Contrast Essay Within a new trend in the Movies Industry, a lot of classic books are selected to be turned into films for the big screen. This is the case of the epic poem Beowulf, which dates from Anglo Saxon times and is considered as the earliest poem in the modern European language. In 2007, the American director Robert Zemeckis produced Beowulf. In my opinion, he chose this poem as a source for a Hollywood movie because it carries valuable information about revelations and controversies of Old English social life and kingship. Moreover, the story is very interesting and it is full of amazing descriptions.
Later on Fox discovered that gas companies decided to extract gas from people’s wells since it was too obvious that a lot of natural gas came out of them. Fox wanted to find out whether the Dimock case was a rule or an exception. It turned out to be a rule and that meant that 34 states were overshadowed by the incoming doom. While watching this film one might wonder why all that happened in
In contrast to the novel Frankenstein written by Mary Shelley, the movie had background music to each scene that set either an anticipant, nervous, worried, happy, or excited mood for the viewer. For example, before the monster would kill someone, the music in the film would go from pleasant to fast paced and terrifying. This music very adequately portrayed the horror genre of the story Frankenstein. The novel, although I am sure was meant to be terrifying, did not as effectively convey the emotions of terror that the screen play adaption was successful in doing. However, it must be taken into consideration that it was probably a very scary story years ago, but today horror stories are much more terrifying and intense than Frankenstein
A “moral panic” starts with an unspeakable tragedy, which sparks an attempt to ascribe blame and responsibility. Framers or activists, fueled with exaggeration of statistics and the strong imagery presented through pop culture and especially the media help define “moral panic”. The most interesting relationship to me that is created by the “moral panic” is the involvement of the media or pop culture. The media in all these articles have a crucial role in escalating the issue as well as pop culture. The movies, literature, and news all have a stake in the phenomenon of serial homicide.

The Oklahoma City Bombing case was looked at as a sort of a theater to McVeigh and the other patriots. They wanted to convey a message to the government that would change the way things were being run and laws were being passed. To impose a powerful message there had to be grandeur, or in the words of McVeigh, a “body count”. If there were to be no body count, the terrible act would seem much less horrifying. People would have seen the explosion as the loss of a building, and not as the graphic act of terror that it is.
With this, he dominates Gotham City and was planning everything he could to do toxic to Gotham City by having hallucinogenic sprayed in the air and also in the city’s water supply as well. This however, did not suit so well with Batman for which he made it his obligation to fight against the evil crime(s) and overall corruption in Gotham City. Ra's al Ghul is part of the master mind in this horrific crime against Gotham City along with Dr. Crane and it is up to Batman to save his people and city. When confronting Ra's al Ghul on the train, Batman jams the controls and escapes leaving Ra's al Ghul to die. This is what makes Batman a hero.
