There was no rating for the movie at time of release; In recent years Psycho hit the Big screen again, but with a new director Gus Van Sant decided to remakes, version of the infamous Bates motel. Therefore in this essay we will be addressing and comparing the scene, the casting, and theme in both film (Hitchcock ’60) vs. (Van Sant ’98) to show the difference and the similarities in both movies. It’s really isn’t a surprise when horror movies are remade. Therefore director Van Sant did choose to remake this film through similar camera appearance; updating this movie with modern style and contemporary colors to the film that added a new spin on the old film. In the original film (Hitchcock) the old dark and colorless film, the creep music provide the viewers an idea that something wicked is about to happen.
A broader interest in exploring psychological motivation also found its niche in US film and was visually and narratively distinct from that of the 1930’s. Drawing on the outlaws of America’s Wild West, the private eye was a lone, moral hero on the mean streets of America. The urban new reality of the 1940’s gave rise to the hard-boiled detective and a new symbolic landscape for American crime fiction. Warner Bros. had previously made versions of Dashiell Hammett’s The Maltese Falcon in 1931; however it was remade for the third time in 1941 as part of this new trend in the treatment of crime. Neither of the previous films had attempted to capture the full impact of the novel’s bleak and uncompromising version of urban America or the unheroic aspects of its hero.
The plot in the first movie is written by Wes Craven as well and I the story line is very original and different from other horror films, the similarities is that there are teenagers as in all horror films and they are chase down by the murderer, but the original part is that all this happens when they go to the dream. I think this idea caught people attention as well other director to make a remake. The plot is about a man who hated kids all his life and when they fall asleep the character named
This example is a typical instance in which a crime committed many years ago has been re-invented to suit the nature of the century. New methods of policing, protection and regulating have been introduced, making crimes much harder to commit – Therefore, the crimes have been altered to suit the new changes. Another reason as to why crime hasn’t changed to an extremity over the past 200 years is because the same crimes can now be committed via new technology. Since the invention of the computer, cell phone and other every-day technologies, the public are now more convenient to trick and fraud. For instance, impersonating a person in order to steal a substantial amount of money from them has been a common crime for hundreds of years.
He believed he was in the Batman movie and was playing the Joker. The basic knowledge every human has to differentiate between TV and real life is starting to become more miniscule and it’s extremely
of [a] new kind of comic book ... a first phase of development, the transition of the superhero from fantasy to literature. "[44] He elaborates by noting that "Alan Moore's realism ... performs a kenosis towards comic book history ... [which] does not ennoble and empower his characters ... Rather, it sends a wave of disruption back through superhero history ... devalue[ing] one of the basic superhero conventions by placing his masked crime fighters in a realistic world". [45] First and foremost, "Moore's exploration of the [often sexual] motives for costumed crimefighting sheds a disturbing light on past superhero stories, and forces the reader to reevaluate—to revision—every superhero in terms of Moore's kenosis—his emptying out of the tradition. "[46] Klock relates the title to the quote by Juvenal to highlight the problem of controlling those who hold power and quoted repeatedly within the work itself. [47] The deconstructive nature of Watchmen is, Klock notes, played out on the page also as, "[l]ike Alan Moore's kenosis, [Veidt] must destroy, then reconstruct, in order to build 'a unity which would survive
Year 11 Advanced English Quality of Relationships in Society Many authors have tried to illustrate the quality of relationships in society within their texts. This is clearly seen in Robert Louis Stevenson’s novella “Strange Case of Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde” and the 1989 movie “Batman” directed by Tim Burton. Jekyll and Hyde was created during the 1800s in an era where police had little or no control over criminals and justice was usually enforced by higher middleclass citizens. This is seen throughout the text many times. For example, when the girl is trampled by Hyde, his punishment is decided by Mr Enfield and a Doctor, who are both well respected members of society.
The new era of America Imagine the time of the free spirited hippies, impeachment of President Richard Nixon, when the allied forces were pulled out of Vietnam after a 10 year war, when The Rolling stones and Led Zeppelin were just small bands trying to make it in the new era of “rock and roll”. Envision a world where drugs were the newest fad and video games, computers, and televisions were only a new experiment that many people didn’t even possess in their homes is a difficult idea to process because it was in fact decades ago. The 1970’s was one of the most creative and monumental decades America has seen. The decade America is currently in is one of no name, some call it the new millennium, other call it the thousands and some simply say it’s the decade between 2000-2009. Whatever decade America is in is vastly different from the decade of the seventies and yet similar in ways most people overlook.
Out of the ample amounts of creations, the only thing that seems to be similar to the novel is the monster itself. There have been TV shows, movies, books, poems, cartoon characters, and nearly anything you can think of that tries to impersonate her version. James Whale created a movie in order to personate Mary Shelley’s book, but it’s not an exception in being similar. In the novel and in the movie as well, the character was intended to be a nice creature that was supposed to be seen as strong, fast, and very smart but upon the creation, he came out ugly and was seen as a monster. Victor states that he cannot describe his emotions at this catastrophe (Shelley 43), knowing that his vision in his head came out different than he intended.
I have to say this movie was historically inaccurate in a number of ways. I will now explain to you in my essay why I feel this way. Francis Marion was the lead character in the original script. Benjamin Martin ended up as the main character to make the movie more dramatic and Hollywood. Unlike the fictional character Benjamin Martin, Francis Marion was a man without any kids.
