Holcomb, too, can be seen from great distances. Not that there is much to see—simply an aimless congregation of buildings divided in the center by the main-line tracks of the Santa Fe Railroad, a haphazard hamlet bounded on the south by a brown stretch of the Arkansas (pronounced "Ar-kansas") River, on the north by a highway, Route 50, and on the east and west by prairie lands and wheat fields. After rain, or when snowfalls thaw, the streets, unnamed, unshaded, unpaved, turn from the thickest dust into the direst mud. At one end of the town stands a stark old stucco structure, the roof of which supports an electric sign—Dance—but the dancing has ceased and the advertisement has been dark for several years. Nearby is another building with an irrelevant sign, this one in flaking gold on a dirty window— HOLCOMB BANK.
The film that I choose to write about is the movie 3:10 to Yuma. I choose to write about this movie because it’s a western and the western movement played a big part on American Cinema as it still does today. I will give you a deep and in depth background on genres, directors, film styles, which have been directly influenced by the western film movement. The Western is a genre of art that can also be found in film, television, radio, literature, painting and other visual arts these are just some of the ways westerns can be located but there are plenty others out there . When westerns first came out they were suppose to tell about the 19th century in the American Old West.
The lighting through most of this opening sequence evokes the documentary which uses only natural sunlight as a source, adding to the realism of the scene and contributing to the grittiness and harsh look of the landscape. This is not a Western that prettifies the West and its denizens. Instead, Ford approaches the West here as a hard place to live and as a place peopled by hard people. Those who seem to "belong" to this landscape will be contrasted with Clementine, who clearly does not belong, especially in the eyes of Wyatt Earp. " "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.
Sarah Apriceno University of Phoenix GLG/101 Instructor: Todd Steward Sr. There are many different types of geological land features, desert landscapes and glacial landscapes are just two of them. Both of these types of areas have extreme weather conditions. While glacial regions are extremely cold desert regions can be extremely hot. Deserts however can become cold at night or be cold almost all the time like the Atacama Desert which is off the coast of Peru.
Ford had many distinctive stylistic trademarks, thematic preoccupations and visual motifs that constantly recur throughout his work as a director. A clear personal vision with a consistent visual style, ideas of characters were simply branded as “American”. His heroes often appear to simply be loners, the outcast of society who will always speak through action rather than words. Ford’s film, particularly the Westerns express a deep visual feeling for the American past. The constructions of compositions have a classic trademark strength in which masses of people and their natural surroundings are beautifully juxtaposed.
Lord Asriel may be strong,and Iorek may be too,but none can compare to how brave and strong Lyra was in this heartwarming tale. The intelligence in this story in the two father figures is quite frequent. They have very prominent talents in the tale of it. The ways of these brains are demonstrated in different ways. One way is that Iorek has many great battle strategies and is smart in the way that he can outsmart people lower and higher than him.
A Western film has a strong relation with the American geography and history. This can be easily proven if we take a close look at the settings of a western film. Geographically we can allocate western plots beside the American frontiers, Mississippi landscapes and the Mexican borders. A western film can reference to the colonial age of America and the Civil war (1861–1865) or even later on the mid-20th century. Many conventional westerns use as backdrop
“The village of Holcomb stands on the high wheat plains of western Kansas, a lonesome area that other Kansas call “out there.” Some seventy miles east of the Colorado border, the countryside, with its hard blue skies and desert-clear air, has an atmosphere that is rather more Far Western than Middle West”.(p. 4) This paragraph is from Truman Capote’s “In Cold Blood” and it shows us an example how new journalism is used to involve the reader in the story. If the reader didn’t know before reading the text that it was a creative non-fictional work, then the reader would easily mistaken it for a fictional text. Mr. Herbert William Clutter is the main person of the story, Capote uses
Sir Gawain is a poem of heroism, chivalry, brave knights and even romance. The story itself is so engaging that all too easily the reader may miss many of the symbols present within. Here we will consider the symbolism and importance of the hunting scenes and how they help develop and enhance the plot. The hunting scenes in Sir Gawain are numerous and told in detail. Why did the author spend so much space in what seems to be just action scenes?
With expected warming temperatures and constant burdens on water and land resources, negative impacts will certainly affect the agriculture. * Impacts on Vulnerable Populations The Great Plains has many older people living in rural areas and Native Americans living on
