They don't steal my attention from the shot or anything, the back ground actually helps it fit more. They are in the City and it fits the mood pretty well. Acting- the acting was very good in this film, I believed the characters, and the actors made the characters seem very real. Camera Techniques- The director mostly did full shots, and close ups in this film. Music- The music fits into the film really well, because it is a lot of Mysterious and intense music that makes you wonder what is going to happen next.
This popular Italian cinema stars the unprofessional actor, Lamberto Maggiorani as Ricci. Ricci’s bicycle is sufficiently necessary for his new advertising position because his job’s duty requires him to hang posters around the city to promote upcoming cinema flicks to the public. Alongside with Ricci is his young son, Bruno, who is played by Enzo Staiola, and he is a key symbol that poverty does not exclude any age group. Underprivileged families were the ones who assured that they were the ones to suffer the most from all other social classes and struggled to survive due to the massive job losses. The psychological aspect of this movie explains the high ratio of unemployment and how individuals are affected by it due to the struggle of finding work after the post war.
The weather seems to correlate with the story and the rain is also a connection to water, which is another characteristic of Film Noir This Film Noir film seems a little strange to viewers today with the strange dialoge and Neff’s detective-like narration. The way the script has Neff add “baby” to his sentences when speaking with Dietrichson also seems out of place, but it wasn’t for the time that this movie was released in 1944. With many Film Noir characteristics, Double Indemity is a great film filled with
(Understanding Theories of Criminal Victimization Robert F. Meier and Terance D. Miethe Pg. 475) This theory is strongly reinforced by what occurred September 29th, the New York City Hudson Henry Parkway is no place for your typical road rage and upon seeing what looked to be the start of a conflict Lien should have immediately laid off the bikers to protect his family instead he fed into the teasing of the bikers dragging him into a high-risk environment. Target attractiveness plays a huge role here in this case because there were many vehicles out on the Parkway on this busy Sunday travel yet for unknown reasoning Lien’s Range Rover was chosen, this brings up the questions of whether he did something major to attract the bikers or maybe was it just the fact that he was driving a high end SUV, making him a likely target of the group. Whatever the case may have been had Lien backed off and did as the bikers wished he wouldn’t have been singled out and this story would have never came about. However the last part of this theory plays a substantial role in the whole situation, which is, the absence of guardianship, this was very apparent as there was not a single cop throughout this whole entire scene on a busy highway, typically the cops would be all over something of this nature however on the 29th things were different and for whatever the reason the police failed to respond quickly and the lack of guardianship made this crime unfold into what could have been a fatal attack in the streets of New York
Cohen Health 16 November 2010 Reactions to “Through a Blue Lens” The documentary “Through a Blue Lens” was quite an unexpected surprise. Well at least according to me. I expected to see an anti-drug documentary, produced on a low budget, that was very old and hardly relatable that was supposed to scare me with all the horribly disgusting effects of drugs, but I was instead confronted with the “compassionate” and “human” underbelly of the skids in Vancouver. This sudden turn of events, left me quite dumbfounded, of which I found truly remarkable for such a measly thing as a film. The documentary quickly overturned and far exceeded my expectations when the police officers actually started socializing with the addicts as if they were friends from long ago.
When piggy dies they don’t take inconsideration his death, because that is when civilization on the island is lost and they become even more savage and thoughtless. All in all the symbols that have changed people throughout time, has also changed the boys and the island as well, but in an uncivilized and savage way. That paradise looking island was once peaceful, but the chaos that the boys have bestowed upon it has changed the island forever and its
The boy is no longer young and naive; he has grown up and become disillusioned with life. Question 2 The description of the sound in the streets when the young man is walking by thinking of the girl he loves. He hears the "curses of laborers," the "shrill litanies of shop boys," and "nasal chartings of street singers." All of these images, besides just making the street seem busy, also make it seem like an unpleasant and intruding scene, almost like you would want to cover your ears and hurry through as fast as possible. This compliments perfectly the boy's imagination that he is "carrying his chalice safely through a throng of foes."
He not only lies by changing his grades for the prep school applications, but he continuously changes his C's to A's on his report . He also lies to priests in confession and to friends about his hunting conquests and steals things while roaming the streets of Seattle with his friends. Jack being depicted as thief reflects his concern for physical safety as he continues breaking the law. He believes that if he acts rebellious he is invincible and no one can harm him. One would think that Jack is a disturbed child with no redeeming qualities.
Violence hovers over and sometimes is in the all the boys’ lives, but they seem to try to ignore what is going on around them. When Manuel’s brand new soccer ball is kicked into a field filled with land-mines the boys are sad to see the ball in the middle of the field and are being prevented from getting it, but still they ignore the dangers as they try and retrieve the ball. Although some bloody bodies are occasionally seen, the film keeps most of the horrific scenes of the war off-screen, which gradually builds up tension in lighter scenes that show the happiness and troubles of childhood bonds. The innocence of the children creates funny, honest, and unfortunate situations that move the viewer. The film shows us a reality that is never really talked about and is almost invisible, it gives us a view on how these hard situations affect children daily.
