Firstly, by portraying Bromden to be a more dominant character Chief Bromden acts primarily as a narrator who describes external conditions rather than his own psychology. But in Chapter Fifteen, he provides some indication of the origin of his psychological problems. Bromden compares the imaginary “fog machine” of the mental institution to the real fog that apparently surrounded him during wartime as a matter of military tactics. This tale indicates that Chief Bromden likely suffers from some sort of shell-shock caused by his war experience. Secondly, (transformation of the men) In Kesey’s original fishing boat scene, the men reel in the fish without the aid of McMurphy.
Increasing the critical awareness and thought of the masses towards the deception of film was one of Vertov’s main goals as a filmmaker. Vertov’s writing gave the camera the ability to perceive patterns that the common audience would not be aware of. One of the many tools used in his films for accentuating these implied messages to the masses is the use of metaphors as a rhetorical device. In the beginning of his film Man With a Movie Camera, the audience is presented with a scene showing someone sweeping and washing the streets. This scene metaphorically conveys the idea of cleansing the bourgeois narrative.

The next example in the story occurs when the man releases the mullet he caught. The reason the man released the mullet was because he gained the perspective of the fish he caught when he became the prey of the manta ray, even though he was not being harmed by it directly. He had realized how the fish felt when it was held captive and he decided to release it. Another example is when the man thinks he sees two groups of fish but catches the manta ray instead. The man thought that he could catch and abundant amount of fish but instead he caught the manta ray, and for the first time the man had felt like the prey.

The painting is based on the real attack that took place in Havana Harbor in 1749, where Watson was saved after losing his lower left leg. This heroic story was an innovative subject for Copley to paint because history painting was usually limited to themes of the Bible or celebrated events, such as military victories. Details of the event are shown magnificently by Copley. The theme of courage can be seen in the sailor thrusting at the lunging shark with a boat hook. Also the theme of fear can be seen in the other sailors, attempting to pull Watson into the boat and away from danger.
To force viewers to really feel it?” Spielberg stated “It's graphic because it's what really happened. It's a very, very honest recreation of the landing on 6 June 1944. I could have made Saving Private Ryan a very safe picture; I could have done all the violence off-camera and I could have had people dying in slo-mo, like in the movies we go and see every summer. But my intention was to resensitize the audience.”1 Which I agree he did. Spielberg went all out on this film.
The film, “Wag the Dog” shows an extreme example of power of the media to influence or distract the public; In this case, it is to distract the public from a Presidential sex scandal. Unfortunately, this scandal could not have come at a worse time for the President; approximately two weeks before the Presidential election starts. So to try to mitigate the damage to the President’s ratings, an aide (Winifred Ames) recruits a ‘spin doctor’ to help; a character by the name of Conrad Bream. It is determined that the best distraction would be to start a war; but he really doesn’t want a real war. It is interesting to note that this film almost paralleled to a point, the real life scandal of President Clinton and his threats of military action against Iraq; the film started production before the Lewinsky scandal, but opened up after it happened.

The film is able to incorporated several points, incorporated by Metz’s in his work on “The Imaginary Signifier”.
