However, the lack of an explanation can make the story more personal because it is left up to the audience to make their own assumptions as to why he is being hung. Without the knowledge that Farquhar’s execution is the result of his attempts to commit crimes against the Union army, the story becomes more universal because the audience is free to make their own personal assumptions. The rest of the movie is extremely accurate to the story in most other aspects because the movie does a great job at conveying the sharpened senses that Farquhar experiences in his imagination. At one point in the story it is said that “He had been caught in a vortex and was being whirled on with a velocity of advance and gyration that made him giddy and sick”, and this passage is referenced in the movie when is shows the circular whirling that he experiences in the water. The movie also shows his heightened senses when it focuses on certain details of nature like the spider and the water snake.
In Shakespeare’s Macbeth, the main character initially demonstrates qualities of being a tragic hero, but by conclusion of the play his deceitfulness and his overwhelming gullibility lead him to be portrayed as a criminal.

Both versions have similarities, but at the same time those similarities contrast both movies to show just how different they really are. The original sets a guideline for the plotline, scenes, and characters, but the remake of the movie added its own twist on those three categories. Another difference, and probably the most drastic, is the differences in the portrayals of the characters. In the original, the main character seemed to focus more on the production and magnitude of the movie he is producing. The main character was focused on making a movie that people will remember, rather than making a movie to get him rich.
By definition an honorable suicide is a process whereby a person commits suicide to escape the shame of an immoral action. In my opinion, the issue was the controversial incest aspect of remaking the film. American film goers gravitate towards action packed thrillers, horror or murder films, and on some occasions success is found in gore or torture pieces. Lee’s remake of South Korean and Japanese Classic don’t appeal to our society’s ideology. Consanguinity is the challenge and key issue that imitates the entire plot of the film.
However, to a large extend the figures in the two sources do show that prohibition was not successful. The public were producing more and more alcohol as a result of the restrictions placed on them. Prohibition went against the previously accepted way of life and restricting this only helped to push the production and drinking of alcohol underground. People became very clever at finding ways to obtain recipes for producing their own alcohol and the 25% increase in illegal stills seized by the government proves this. If the police were doing their job properly, the figures should be decreasing not increasing.
Factual Fiction or Realism? Bonnie and Clyde Few movies have captured the real essence of the gangster genre. Bonnie and Clyde (1967) is no exception. The film utilizes the simple base line of actual events yet leaving out the truth of the sinister characters themselves. The movie producers departed from the historical reality of Bonnie and Clyde to generate a glamorous type of style for the characters that the audience would gain sympathy for the infamous duo.
In “My Creature from the Black Lagoon” King discusses his thoughts on horror films and challenges the reader to change their initial perception of the term “horror movie.” Most Americans think of a movie with lots of blood and monsters when they think about horror movies. However, King argues that a movie does not have to be about monsters, or even adult oriented, to be scary. King writes, “There are adults today, who, when questioned, will tell you that the most frightening thing they saw at the movies as children was Bambi’s father shot by the hunter, or Bambi and his mother running before the forest fire” (p.585). Any movie can technically be a horror movie if the viewer has terrifying feelings because of it, even Disney movies. King’s essay “My Creature from the Black Lagoon” is, overall, easy to

Victor’s plans for his creation were more than great, but once he had actually created the Monster, all of his past feelings turned into disgust and horror. Frankenstein finds himself "…capable of bestowing animation upon lifeless matter" (Shelley 51) and attempts to put himself on the same level as God by giving life back to the dead. Although Victor thought otherwise, the creature that he thought would bring him fame and do good for society became a murdering monster. "…I thought that if I could bestow animation upon lifeless matter, I might in process of time (although I now found it impossible) renew life where death had apparently devoted the body to corruption."
