Joey is depicted as somewhat powerful at the beginning of the scene evidenced through the use of a low angle shot. While Kazan here highlights that Joey’s choice to talk to the Crime Commission is noble and brave; this idea of Joey’s as powerful is quickly subverted as the camera pans up towards Truck and Tullio on the rooftop. Regardless of Joey’s actions in attempting to reveal the restrictive and oppressive life on the waterfront his death highlights how one individual cannot stop the actions of a large group. The ominous music used during his death along with the joke made by Truck “he could sing but he couldn’t fly” highlights how Johnny Friendly’s gang had no difficulty in ensuring their power over the city by killing Joey. Clearly, Kazan illustrates that no matter how noble an intention may be, a singular person cannot defeat a group of oppressive and greedy
Another reason why the sea is wearing a mask of innocence is because it lures people in with its beauty and scenery. When the person gets close enough, it sucks them in and kills them. The sea doesn’t do it itself, but with the help of the capaill uisce. Also, the ocean is hypnotizing all animals and people to come to it, just to feed the capaill uisce. That is how the ocean is wearing a mask of innocence and is hypnotizing to people.
Giunta says “I try to forget a lot of this, it benefits me in the long run, but coming back and doing these things: talking about it retches the gut.” Giunta talks about where he saves Sergeant Brendon from the enemies. As he says over the radio to the other men during chaos of the ambush, “there fucking taking him,” his voice is shaking and you see that his eyes start watering. The enemies rushed the men shot at Sergeant Brendon and then grab him as soon as he was down and started caring him away. Giunta is so freaked out that he poises and has to get him self together to finish the interview. Can you imagine seeing one of your best friends being carried away by people that are most likely going to touchier them and take them as a trophy in a place where you’re not familiar with and far, far away from home: didn’t think
For example, when Ponyboy is walking home from the movie theatre he is worried about getting jumped. “Greasers can’t walk alone too much or they’ll get jumped or someone will scream Greaser at them”. He thinks that all Socs are cruel, rich kids who like to pick on Greasers for fun. He thinks this partly from experience and partly because that’s what is expected of him. Ponyboys views begin to change when he meets Cherry Valance.
Nero offered his own garden players for the spectacle, and exhibited a Circensian game, indiscriminately mingling with the common people in the dress of a charioteer, or else standing in his chariot. For this cause a feeling of compassion arose towards the sufferers, though guilty and deserving of exemplary capital punishment, because they seemed not to be cut off for the public good, but were victims of the ferocity of one
Willie becomes annoyed and upset, so Uncle Tadpole decides to make it up to Willie and somehow take him to Broome. He jumps in front of a VW ‘Kombi’ van, to guilt the drivers into taking them to Broome. On the way to Broome, they start singing ‘Feel Like Going Back Home’. The prop of the 'Kombi' van represents freedom and being able to follow life paths because of the colours and words on the outside of it, the colours are bright and intriguing. The bright lighting of the scene represents that Willie is finding happiness and determining his own life path, as he made the decision to go back home.
4. In the novel To Kill a Mockingbird by Harper Lee,The sheriff and Atticus give an explanation for the terrible attack.I think that Atticus’s explanation was more likely to be true because in the movie he looked like he knew what he was saying.
The open skies of the Amish countryside further emphasises the community’s freedom and sense of tranquillity. This contrasts with the dark enclosed space of the car park, reinforcing the modern Westernised world’s insecurity and sense of entrapment. Furthermore, the mis en scene where the little girl stares at Samuel from opposite sides of the train station reinforce the feelings of alienation Samuel experiences at being confronted with people of a different
He is easily susceptible to the idea of the dream as he fears he will soon be "canned”. His recent friendship with George and Lennie and the joining of their dream implies that he is a likable character as Lennie and George form a bond with him. However, another facet of candy's character is later discovered by the reader as Steinbeck portrays him as a pathetic character. Candy is described as weak at the end of the novella to show the loss of the dream can break someone. He mirrors the body language when his dog dies and when Curley's wife dies because he realises the dream is over.
In the book, Ponyboy’s behavior is exemplified toward the middle of the story. “ He looked over his shoulder and saw the door was blocked by the flames then pushed open the window and tossed out the nearest kid.” (p.93) This quote is important because it shows that Ponyboy is very selfless and would rather
