- 6401: The Godfather: Gangster Genre
- ... police, private eyes, special agents or lawful authorities, or mysteries such as who stole the valued object. Gangster films are morality tales, success stories turned upside down in which criminals live in an inverted dream world of success and wealth. Although they are doomed to failure and death, criminals are portrayed as the victims of circumstance, because the stories are told from their point of view - all other "normal" roots to ... while.

- 6402: The Rules of the Game: Andre’s Arrival at La Coliniere
- The Rules of the Game: Andre’s Arrival at La Coliniere In The Rules of the Game, Jean Renoir paints a satirical portrait of the decadent French aristocracy prior to World War II. The scene where Andre Jurieu (Roland Toutain) arrives at La Coliniere is of particular importance, for it is the first time he sees Christine (Nora Gregor) since his plane trip. Through his use of ... The mise en scene of this particular shot lends many important insights into the nature of their relationship. As a somewhat subjective shot, it shows the importance of this arrival into the stationary Christine’s world. The doorway, located in the lower left corner of the screen, frames the approaching men. As Andre steps into the door, he sees her and stops in his tracks. They both stand motionless, and ...
- 6403: King Lear
- ... ample tear trilled down her delicate cheek."(IV,iii, ln 12-13). Cordelia then orders for some of the French soldiers to bring Lear to her so that she can look after him before the war between Britain and the French soldiers begins. Her love was further displayed when she says, "But love, dear love, and our aged father's right. Soon may I hear and see him!"(IV,iv, ln ... he wishes that he had never given away his power or disowned Cordelia. This can be seen when he states, "No, you unnatural hags! I will have such revenges on you both that all the world shall-I will do such things-What they are, yet I know not; but they shall be the terrors of the earth.(II,iv, ln 273-277). It would take an entire book to explain all the ramifications of his great folly. However, I can say that the deaths of Goneril, Regan, Cordelia, and of himself may be attributed to his mistake. He also caused a war between Britain and France that should not have occurred. I believe it is clear that Lear acted as a fool when giving his land to Goneril and Regan, but not to Cordelia. Another character ...

- 6405: Richard III: Impact On The Audience
- ... thirty-five lines of the play. How could anyone hate a man who pours the disappointments of his life out to them? Richard might be a great warrior and the main man during times of war, but during times of peace he is disregarded by everyone and forgotten. He is too hideous to seduce a lady, the main pastime during peace, and this creates a despair that is hard to take. Richard is a man who has the whole world at his fingertips, but the world shrinks away because of the deformed limb to which those fingers are attached. He did not ask for these deformities, but was granted them at his premature birth. This immediately puts sympathy into even ...
- 6406: Existentialism in the Early 19th Century
- ... reacted against an attempt to put philosophy on a conclusive rationalistic basis—in this case the phenomenology of the 20th-century German philosopher Edmund Husserl.
