- 13532: Taoism In Star Trek: Action Versus Inaction
- ... the trap is revealed, Ryker states "If we resist we die. If we don't resist we die." Neither action nor inaction was the key to salvation. Ryker's statement was based on a physical world; the Tao goes beyond action or inaction of a physical sense. The Tao Te Ching states, "the Master does nothing, yet leaves nothing undone."(pg. 38) The Master does not rely on the world of the senses to decide her action. Everything the crew of the enterprise tried to do was based on overpowering the trap. "More energy, faster adjustments. But that's exactly what we can't do ... of our lives. Lets us travel across the galaxy. Even gave me my vision; but sometimes you just have to turn it all off." Geordi had finally embraced the idea that his actions in this world are useless.

- 13533: Capital Punishment
- ... for them or not. In Wisconsin, the death penalty is not considered acceptable. My overhead here shows which states have abolished the death penalty. They are, North Dakota, Kansas, Minnesota, Iowa, Wisconsin, Michigan, West Virginia, New York, Vermont, Maine, Massachusetss, and Rhode Island. As you can see, the majority of states permit capital punishment. Allowing these criminals that would otherwise be sentenced to death to sit in jails until they die ... believe that they should be executed as ruled by the judge. Conclusion: I believe that capital punishment is God pleasing because of the fact that he sentenced Adam and Eve and the rest of the worlds population to death because of sin. He also punished other sins with immediate death. The tenth plague is also a unfortunate example of Gods wrath to sinners. He killed the first born of ...
- 13534: Nell
- ... different, Nell still gave a good list of very abstract ideas that someone who is mentally retarded could not possibly comprehend. Nell understood why she was different saying that she was raised in a small world and knew small things unlike the large things found in the city of Charlotte, N.C. This proved that Nell was very capable of living by herself and taking care of herself. 3) The experts, in the beginning of the movie, said that Nell was not capable of making the correct judgments to make in the world by herself. They did not believe that Nell had the wisdom to make the correct choices in life situations. It seemed evident to me that Nell already possessed more than enough wisdom to make it ... that nudity was socially unacceptable and made a mistake. My position on this was never swayed. I believed that Nell needed to find someone that she trusted and that could teach her about the strange world that she had never been a part of. This needed to be accomplished in the comfort of a familiar surrounding. So, I agree 100% with the decision to leave Nell in her home in ...
- 13535: Movie Review: Yentl
- ... sky is frequently shown throughout the film. This symbolizes Yentl's struggle and eventual conquering of her feats. She, like the bird, is able to soar - through the prejudices of her traditions and through the world of knowledge for which she so longs.

As well, when Yentl transforms herself into Anshel, the boy ... herself in a cracked mirror and cuts her hair. This displays her uncertainty of herself and her place in Jewish society, and the cutting of her hair symbolizes her transformation and the beginning of a new life for her. Symbolism throughout the film, contributes to the film's theme of self-discovery and role reversal. The plot, characterization, lighting, camera angles, and symbolism reveal thoroughly the plot of this highly thought ...
- 13536: The Meaning of Chow Yun-Fat (It's In His Mouth)
- The Meaning of Chow Yun-Fat (It's In His Mouth) Ultimately, it comes down to his mouth. Chow Yun-Fat is the coolest movie actor in the world today, and the only way I can explain this is to talk about his mouth. He does cool things with his mouth. Smoking cigarettes is no longer an emblem of cool in the USA, but ... subjective reaction to watching Chow Yun-Fat on the screen. Fill in the name of your favorite actor or actress, change the specific references, and this could be your essay. We don't learn anything new from such subjective meanderings; we only identify taste preferences. I'm proud to be a Chow fan, but then, I am proud to be a fan in general. With other favorites of mine, though, I ...
- 13537: Hello, My Name Is Orson Welles
- ... The primary purpose of this shot is to slowly draw the viewer in to the story by limiting the viewer's role in the film; he doesn't allow the viewer to actively enter the world of the film. Rather, he constrains the viewer to simply observe the actions presented without allowing the viewer to get involved in the action. After the initial focus on the time bomb and its intrinsic ... scene, the Vargases and Linnaker's car battle for attention as they continually pass each other within the camera's view. This shifting of focus keeps the viewer just that: an observer looking into this world through the camera. Welles also reinforces this feeling by raising the camera to unhuman points of view above the action. It eliminates any initial intimacy the viewer could form with the characters. Therefore, the viewer gets a broad overview of the town, the atmosphere, and the people before gradually entering this world. Welles first invites the viewer into the scene as the camera finally returns to a human point of view at the border checkpoint. This change, not by coincidence, comes with the first words spoken ...

- ... to go up as it is not normal procedure. You can tell that they are all used to a strict almost boring class and that is why they are slow to try out Mr Keatings new methods.

- 13539: Critique of Romeo and Juliet the Movie
- ... is safe to say that most people are familiar with this story. A couple so determined to be together, ended up tragically in the arms of one another because of their feuding families. Today, a new director attempts to recreate this Shakespearean story by adding a little of his on twists to it. Using the same dialogue as Shakespeare, this director sets the story in modern times. Romeo and Juliet, the movie, gives audience in the twentieth century a taste of a new and mystical flavor to this well-known love story. The setting of Romeo and Juliet, as expected, was totally different from other settings in the past. This setting, however, was not necessarily set in way ... guns. The director also included what a teenager, today, would do like taking drugs, playing pool, and going to parties.
