The Last Wave
.... The film is shot in shadows and overall is very dark , almost forcing
us to look beyond the obvious plot and storyline and into the meaning or what
the film/director is trying to tell us. The darkness in the film can be seen as
unconsciousness. It can also be seen as a prediction of the darkness that will
occur in the world when the last wave comes. The last wave meaning a giant
tidal wave that will cover the earth , killing humanity. This idea is similar
to the Christian belief in the flood tha .....

Movies: A Thematic Analysis Of Alfred Hitchcock's Psycho
.... explore before the
audience is introduced to Marion and Sam. Hitchcock's use of random selection
creates a sense of normalcy for the audience. The fact that the city and room
were arbitrarily identified impresses upon the audience that their own lives
could randomly be applied to the events that are about to follow.
In the opening sequence of Psycho, Hitchcock succeeds in capturing the
audience's initial senses of awareness and suspicion while allowing it to
identify with Marion's helpless situation. The .....

Hamlet: Brutal Truth

pentameter), tantamount to an art form. If deceit is a painted, ornate
subject then, its foil of truth is simple and unvarni .....

at the audience. The position of the camera is intricately placed in all scenes.
The movie is a perfect example of classical cinema.
The most unique part about the style of the movie is in the
cinematography by Roger Deakins. The whole story looks like it was filmed with
a blue filter. The filters give a special beauty to the scenes, which in turn
causes more dramatic feelings for the audience. With this filter the movie
tends to bring out the two diffe .....

judgement, as in with Frederick Chilton, the prison warden. I believed that she
was a very strong woman and was very careful to appear that way to others.
Clarice Starling did have a large change in herself. She began the
story with a careful mentality; a risk would have been unheard of. She was
always making sure she was doing something to the best expectations of someone
else. As the story moves on, she becomes more daring a .....
