Characters without power attempt to promote themselves through dramatic and often violent ways. Sasha is central to the theme of power within the story. He is a young and popular leader of a criminal fraternity – making his way through violent and illegal acts; “Sasha was ringleader and mastermind.” Anyone who crosses Sasha will come to regret it as he mercilessly seeks revenge. A road rage incident ends up with Sasha hurling a sour pint of milk through his enemy’s window, whilst his sister’s violent boyfriend ends up literally nailed to the wall. The novel opens with Sasha meeting the main narrator, Louie, and she soon learns the extent of his power; “impressing him was everything.’ Sasha’s power comes from his personal sense of self confidence and strength, as the reader sees him ‘glare like a wolf’ at anyone who might threaten a blind man on the train.
Truth to be said, the author of James Bond movie, Ian Fleming created Bond to be ‘warm-blooded heterosexuals in railway trains, airplanes or beds (Reijnders, 2009:370).

They too want to survey and control women as sexual objects, and they use their own special strength – control of technology- to express these desires (Kendall, 1999:269).

Intro to International Politics Wag the Dog Movie Review Making a statement on the fallacies of politicians, Wag the Dog exposed the story of the United States president desperately pursuing a reelection. Once was caught in a sex scandal shortly before elections, Mr. President suffers a great possibility of losing a reelection chance. In an attempt to reverse the scenario, a Hollywood filmmaker was hired to fabric a war with Albania and intentionally diverting the public’s attention. The president, chasing his personal interests, abused his power to deceive his people through massive usage of the media. The movie stretches on many political opinions that uncovered measures in which politicians are willing to go to achieve or keep their power.
‘EXIT THROUGH A GIFT SHOP’ FILM CRITICISM BASED ON TWO MOVIE REVIEWS UNIVERSITY STUDENT’S NAME ‘EXIT THROUGH THE GIFT SHOP’ FILM CRITICISM Introduction “Exit through a Gift Shop” premiered at the 2010 Sundance Festival and received rave reviews as a classic film ‘mockumentary’ or a ‘comedy documentary’. The documentary follows the secret lives of street artists going about creating their art. Thierry ‘Terry’ Guetta, the presumptive ‘director’ is a French businessman living in Los Angeles with an obsessive compulsion to film anything in sight of his camera. This obsession takes him into the mysterious world of graffiti artists when he starts following and filming his cousin and street artist ‘Space Invader’. He manages to befriend street artist Shephard Fairey of the famous ‘Obey’ and ‘Barack Obama’ posters and gets to travel and film him across different countries for eight years.

Deckard tracks the pair to Sebastian’s where a bloody and violent final confrontation between Deckard and Batty takes place os a skyscraper rooftop high above the city. This film for me, in my opinion is considered as a combination of Film Noir and Science Fiction movie genre. For Film Noir, typical features can be found in this film, it misleads you into thinking there is going to be a happy ending and the locations that reek of the night, of shadows, of alleys, of the back dorrs of fancy places, of apartment buildings with a high turnover rate, of taxi drivers and bartenders who have seen it all.
The “hero” of the story (I use the term “hero” loosely, as some of his actions could be considered more vengeful than heroic) is a masked man, who calls himself V, which has set out to destroy the government, and free the people. The story begins when Evey Hammond, an average citizen, is caught outside after curfew, and as a result, suffers an attempted rape by the Fingermen (police), until V rushes in and saves her. She then accompanies him to a rooftop, where she witnesses as he blows up the Old Bailey, a historical judicial building while playing Tchaikovsky’s 1812 Overture, a piece oftentimes associated with American Independence, over the loudspeaker. Later, the government tries to hide the act of terrorism by spinning the news, on government-run television, as a planned demolition. V takes over the television studio, where Evey happens to work, and transmits a message to the people about what he did, and calls for them to
Both Winston and V want to take down a dystopian government that rules by people intoxicated with power. They both believe a revolution can happen if the proletarians rise up. The main power of each work (Big Brother in 1984 and the government in V for Vendetta) tries to suppress the people and ruin their lives by using fear. The main characters V, Evey, Winston, and Julia all represent the rebellion. Both the movie and the book have the government watching the people to gain control.
Bain and Hitler wanted to eliminate a certain group of people in each of their situations, to make their city or country better than what it currently was. In the movie The Dark Knight Rises, Bane a main villain in the film proclaims that his revolution's enemies are the rich and the corrupt, who he contends are oppressing "the people", and fooling them with myths of opportunity. By him trying to eliminate the rich and corrupt he is influencing the poor and criminals to join him in his destiny. Bane has many different public speeches, for example he has a speech that talks about “the people” running their own city and that “police will survive as they learn to serve true justice”. The speech helps create an army for Bane, people that fallow under him that want “true justice”, the poor and prisoners are an example.
