The scene prior a few Mexicans follow Moss’ wife and mother-in-law and get information out of them of where he was staying. This was a hint or a symbol that they were looking for him. Dramatic Aspects: 1) Something that was overstated in this scene was the Mexican who was shot in the leg. As Sheriff Ed Tom Bell walks over to see Moss’ corps, the Mexican lays there on his stomach in pain screaming trying to crawl away even though his gang already had left him. This added much more pain and a dramatic side to the scene 2) Something that was very understated in this scene was how the Sheriff didn’t say a word in this entire scene.
Paris, Texas I chose the film Paris, Texas for my film review because the content has a lot of the components that I’ve experienced with my daughter’s relationship with her father, not the specific drama, but a lot of the psychological content. The film Paris, Texas, written by Sam Shepard, was made in 1984 and starred Harry Dean Stanton, Dean Stockwell, Aurore Clemént, Nastassja Kinski, and Hunter Carson. It begins in a vast desert canyon, zooming in on a lone man struggling through the rough terrain, seemingly in search of water. When he stumbles into a small village of sorts, he collapses. In the next scene, we see the man lying on a doctor’s table being examined, and cajoled by the doctor for being mute.
Anton Chigurh is on his trail wanting the money, murdering his employer, opponents and even normal citizens. Moss is clever and tries to keep one step ahead as Chigurh closes down on him. Sheriff Ed Tom Bell runs the investigation as struggles to face the things he is seeing and how different this country is to what he knew. (Chisholm, 2007) The film begins with an audio visual, with a narrator telling his story. We know the narrator is the sheriff because he opens with, “I was sheriff of this county when I was 25 years old.” He talks about the old times compared to the new times, and the change in crime, he’s states, “I don’t want to go out and see something I don’t understand, a man puts himself at hazard and has to say, ok I’ll be part of this world.” As the sheriff talks we see multiple static shots on a wide-angle lens different landscapes, each one harsh and empty giving an impression of the type of country these
I’m sure that the Maya people did hunt and eat meat for their proteins and whatnot, but the fact remains that the first time we see any sort of crops is more than halfway through the movie when Jaguar Paw is running away from the soldiers in the “bad” city. Here we also see an inaccuracy as pointed out by Professor Russell and that is that the corn is all in very straight rows. Furthermore, we learned that all three of the staple crops were grown in the same spots for important reasons; here we just see corn. Something else that struck me as odd when watching the movie and was also mentioned in Stone’s “Orcs in Loincloths” was the geography. Throughout Apocalypto we see a very
"In the first scene each of the Earp brothers on the cattle drive is introduced by a low-angle medium shot profiled on horseback against the sky. Somehow the short take, the brief isolation of each one, exposes a premonition of mortality, which is heightened by the ominous arrival of Old Man Clanton and his son Ike hunched over on their buckboard, in a medium shot seen from the back. They, their rig, and their horses are dark figures in the gathering dusk of the hills as Wyatt Earp rides up from the daylight plain to speak to them in low-angled closeup." Analysis of director John Ford's 1946 Western film
However, upon closer observation the themes of poverty and class become evident. In the beginning scenes the investigators are shown driving to a location to investigate what turns out to be a dog being shot. Upon arriving on the scene the investigators use caution in approaching the home where the dog lived. The officers took slow deliberate steps that showed caution and that they were aware of their surroundings. Bullet casings from the shooting of the animal were shown with blood stains in the snow to display the gore and violence of the act.
The power of fate leads Moss to come across the drug deal that gone twisted. He will never happen to find the drug deal himself in a wild desert without fate. Moss packs the money and weapons out and goes home but he never forgets the wounded man is asking him for water. Later that night, Moss decides to return to the desert and gives the wounded man water because Moss just cannot leave a guy who is dying out in the desert at night. This is the thing that he forgets and ought to do, and not a thing can stop Moss from returning to the desert: “Something I forgot to do.
Why did John Ford not shoot from horseback, from Ethan’s point of view, with the house in the distance? He wanted the audience to take specific notice to John Wayne’s character to fit his profile for the rest of the film. Later in the film, Ethan rides out with the other men to search for stolen cattle, only to find that Native Americans had killed them. Ethan lives off the land, symbolized partially by the opening scene, which allows him to realize why they had killed the cattle. They wanted to homestead vulnerable for attack, which is exactly what the Indians proceeded to do.
This paper will also highlight the strengths and weaknesses in the criminal justice process. Introduction A request for investigation was called in by John Wolf, who heard a commotion coming from his next door neighbor’s home. He explained to the Paradise 911 Emergency Call Center that the commotion came from the front yard and ended in a terrible scream, and upon calling the police, there was a body lying still in his neighbor’s driveway.
