Sahure Ancient Egyptian Art
.... glances straightforward in confidence completely ignoring the Nome to his side, as if he is clairvoyantly or divinely aware of his surroundings.
Ancient Egyptian culture often associated religion and politics that presented the rulers as semi-divine beings who communicated with gods, and the earlier dynasties even believed that the rulers were gods. Correspondingly, if a ruler did not appear to be god-like, it would be understood that the gods did not accept him, and consequently he would not be accepte .....

Saving Private Ryan
.... disillusionment with it, and the work of journalists like Michael Herr and filmmakers like Oliver Stone and Francis Ford Coppola, Vietnam flickers in and out of our imaginations as a minor piece of hell, a torn-out fragment from a Bosch painting. But World War II, the Good War, the Heroic War, the war that saved the world, is different. Yes, we know it was dreadful, but we don't really want to know: We'd rather cling to the image of jutting-jawed John Wayne firing his machine gun at a collapsing line of .....

Scarlet Letter- Judgment
.... condemned her, she answered no, and He replied, "Then neither do I condemn you… Go now and leave your life of sin." (John 8:3-11).
The story of this woman in the bible is very similar to the story of Hester Prynne from the renowned novel The Scarlet Letter by Nathaniel Hawthorne. In this novel, Hester commits adultery and bears the child of a man that is not her husband. The book is set in an early New England colony with Puritan values and Puritan views on life. After Hester delivered her baby, she .....

Schindler’s List
.... Jews that he rescued.
We also get a look into other lives of World War II, such as Amon Goeth and Itzhak Stern. Goeth is the mean, Nazi commander who is portrayed as the villain of the film. He chooses a Jew to be his slave and do things for him. Soon, he finds himself in love with her. In a shocking scene, Goeth goes out on a balcony and just shoots people at random. He is an evil man and for a moment in the film, when he lets a kid go for not being able to clean a bathtub, we see a compassionate .....

Schindler’s List 2
.... way.
The close ups of Amon Goeth, the monster SS guard that ran the camp at Krakow, are some of the most revealing scenes without words. One scene shows a conversation between Schindler and Goeth. Schindler is trying to explain to Goeth that true power lies in forgiving when you don’t have to forgive. For a while Goeth tries to do what Schindler says, pardon those Jews that do him wrong. He lets the stable boy that dropped his saddle of the hook. He tells the guard to let a woman go back to work; the .....

Sergei Rachmaninoff
.... The Concerto opens with a series of rather ponderous, static, unaccompanied piano chords which lead to the orchestras statement of a sardonic main theme taken by the strings while the keyboard spills out continuous cascades of harmonic embellishment. Finally a martial answer by the piano – on the first two notes of the main theme – leads to a melodically and harmonically luxurious second theme given by piano alone. This is the breathless, heart-on-sleeve expressiveness that Rachmaninoff is all about, and i .....

Sixth Sense Movie
.... on certain important details.
In a suspense/horror movie the lighting and sound are most important. The lighting and the sound sets the mood of the film. During the film when Cole was having encounters with ghosts the lighting was very dark, being very different from the rest of the movie. Along with the lighting, the sound effects were only noticeable at the frightful times, which was perfect.
Special effects are very important, unfortunately this movie did not have the effects of that The M .....

Slingblade
.... is where the similarities end. Despite Karl’s horrific background, a sense of right and wrong and of justice still seem to pervade. Billy Bob Thornton doesn’t so much act but more so becomes Karl Childers. Karl, at the age of twelve murdered his mother and her lover, the local bully, with a sling blade in a fit of evangelical rage.
In the first scene we come into contact with Karl. A soothing sythesiser plays slow haunting music to set the tone. We are introduced to Charles Bushman, played by J.T Walsh .....

Social Sciences In Theatre
.... and uses anthropology to show theatrical aspects in everyday life, which brings one to ask the second question.
How do the social sciences show theatre used in everyday life?
Helbo uses sociology and biology to site instances through which theatre is used in everyday life. Sociologists see theatre in the social structures we face on a daily basis. A handshake, tipping a doorman and even the forbidden middle finger is what Erving Goffman terms “rituals of interaction.” Every culture .....

Sociological Perspective From The Blues Brothers
.... attire of the brothers. Their clothes of black pants, black shoes, black tie and hat, and a plain white shirt. The outfit is not complete without their black sunglasses. Some would not consider this a type of specialized dress but the Blues brothers have not changed this outfit for countless years. Their clothing separates them from the norms of society and reflects their blunt
behavior. A semiotic viewpoint could leave you with endless possibilities for the reasoning behind their dres .....

After many long and brutal battles William was captured, tortured, and killed. The cry of his death echoed around the world, and certainly on the battlefield.

Based on the movie and summary above, I have concluded that there are several social conflicts. The most influential being, th .....

Socrates
.... opinions which they revere so highly, Socrates is placed on trial for his life. The question now becomes why and in what manner did Socrates refute the gods and is he quilty? Socrates, himself, speaks out the accusers charges by saying "Socrates does injustice and is meddlesome, by investigating the things under the earth and the heavenly things, and by making the weaker the stronger and by teaching others these things" (Plato, 19b;c). This is the charge of the "old" accusers. It is seen from an example .....

Socrates 2
.... vice is the result of ignorance, and that no person is willingly bad; correspondingly, virtue is knowledge, and those who know the right will act rightly. Plato represents Socrates as hidings behind an ironical profession of ignorance, known as Socratic irony, and possessing a mental acuity and resourcefulness that enabled him to penetrate arguments with great facility. Socrates was nonetheless regarded with suspicion by many of his contemporaries, who dislike his attitude toward the Athenian state and th .....
