This one in particular was my favorite because of the catchy tune and the lyrical significance. I found the satirical overtone of the whole tune to really signify the problems in the past and often current society. As well, the song was one of those melodies that sticks in your head all day, but not the annoying kind. This kept the tune ‘catchy’ and helped the audience effectively pay attention to the message. The song talks about how the actors have hit it big time on Broadway with their performance of “Pretty Lady”.
“How about jumping?” it said, in a voice barely audible, tainted with the dust of age. It was the start of many things. A budding romance, a glorious reuniting of lovers, and a terrible curse, all leading to a very satisfactory ending for the Sonata for Harp and Bicycle. My first reason why the ending of Sonata for Harp and Bicycle was satisfactory is because all loose ends are tied well. The ghosts of two jilted lovers are reunited.
In Mel Gibson’s version of Hamlet, Hamlet’s acting is outstanding because while watching the play we can see the effort and talent Gibson has put in the movie. Gibson knows what his lines are and he exactly knows what his actions are. His acting is so natural because while he was acting the audience can feel the pain he is suffering through. Another difference in both versions of the movie is; in Kenneth’s version it does not seem that the play is acted in the theatre, but it is done by professionals. Kenneth’s version is filmed as Hamlet family is very royal and rich; also the house is a mansion.
This dance seemed to be very precise. My evaluation says that it was a very sad but yet entertaining dance. The Greek story about how Prometheus stole the fire from Zeus was in there because of the fire, but what I realized was that it seemed to be more of a love story than anything else. The lifts and in how they were executed was very well. The story seemed to be very well thought of, The dancers all was very good.
His humor in “Journey” is outstanding as well as his compassion in “April” His writing style as well as him being a funny wordsmith may have been the root to his success in attracting such a wide range of audience that admire his works. His sense of humor how he described April, the spider “It slayed me that she had eight eyes, and that none of them seemed to do her any good. They were more like decoration, really, a splay of beads crowded above her chelicerae (April 4-5). Another comical way he
Seven Brides for Seven Brothers Hollywood Musical Seven Brides for Seven Brothers is a classic musical film. It was released in 1954 and was an Oscar nominee for best picture. Personally I enjoyed this musical film because it differed from others I have watched in the past. The dancing was unusual, firstly because it stared rugged manly men and they were performing thee dance numbers that were completely out of their character and funny coming from them. I also liked that they danced and sung while performing such ordinary tasks they chopping wood.
They sing together and basically say you don’t know your father? Well how about just for now we pretend that I’m you father. I just find it amusing how drastic of a coincidence it is but as I said that’s just Musical Theater, and in Musical Theater, anything is possible. Overall, I actually quite enjoyed the film ‘ Show Boat’. Even though the film was made a good 60 years ago, I feel that you are still able to happily watch it today and be told a good story from it.
Shindler and Goeth. The performance by Goeth really shows what a real Nazi acted like back then. The film is also very graphic and I like that it has a beauty mixed with its gruesome side. Shindler really was a great character because he was funny, mysterious, flirtatious, but he had a darker side that he showed superficially. Gattaca was the best in terms of entertainment.
I loved Poor Little Eva, King Simon, Little Topsy, and Geoooo-rge!. Though it has been said “it wasn’t until they filmed it until they caught the delicacy, humor, and poignancy all at once” (Jerome Robbins: His Life, His Theatre, His Dance, pg 47) this paper will discuss the history of The King and I on Broadway. The King and I is one of the most well loved musicals of all time. With musical geniuses Richard Rodgers and Oscar Hammerstein II writing the score, Jerome Robbins brilliantly choreographing “Small House of Uncle Thomas” and “Shall We Dance?” as well as many other dance sequences. Jo Mielziener was the set and lighting designer, Frederick Dvonch was the musical director, and Irene Sharaff was the costume designer.
The use of strobe lighting was very clever as it showed like a old film being played and the white flickering filter that was used within the pice. Due to the strobe lighting it also means we see like snapshots of them setting up the stage rather than them just running around the stage. Lighting throughout the play was used extremely effectively as sometimes it would represent the mood of characters and the weather and
