... or the plot introduced by a Wellesian voice over. In Touch of Evil, Welles parts with his usual opening style in favor of a much more dramatic method of introduction; this creates a less obvious, yet more intimate initial interaction between the characters on the screen and the viewer in the seat. Foremost, Welles's legendary long shot opens the film. These three minutes and twenty seconds have many effects upon the viewer in introducing this movie. 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 ...
... in the play Macbeth gets worried about Banquo because he thinks that Banquo might figure out what Macbeth is doing and get Macbeth murdered for treason so Macbeth hires three hitmen to kill Banquo which they did successfully also at the same time the third assassin killed the other two assassin's. Macbeth's conscience then got the best of him because he saw the 'ghost' of Banquo. It wasn't really a ghost because everyone can see ghosts and Macbeth was the only one who really saw Banquo. This shows that his mind was playing tricks on him because he felt guilty. To me his feeling guilty showed that he still cared a little for those he loved but then again i ...
... affairs, freezing winters, and halls of mirrors. The use of the camera has some definite advantages and disadvantages. First, since the characters are no longer limited by a defined space, they are able to deliver their long speeches while being in a constant state of motion. This occurs in the scene with the guards, and most noticeably in the scene with Laertes and Ophelia, before he leaves for France. This same scene demonstrates how the camera enables the characters to switch from one setting to the next, as when Laertes, Ophelia, and Polonius are taken from outside to the church. This, in turn, helps Branaugh set the scene for Ophelia and Polonius, in w ...
... whether it is temporary or permanent that is used to describe a person when they don’t know the difference between right and wrong. They don’t consider the nature of their actions due to the mental defect. In William Shakespeare’s play “Hamlet” Shakespeare leads you to believe that the main character, Hamlet, might be insane. There are many clues to suggest Hamlet is insane but in fact he is completely sane. Throughout the play Hamlet makes wise decisions to prove he is not insane. He knows exactly what he is leading up to. He just delays to act due to his indecisiveness. An example of this is in Act III, section III, line 73, Hamlet says “Now might ...
... influenced Macbeth’s gentle soul to transform into an evil demon. Macbeth’s life was forever changed by the witches’ prophecies. Lady Macbeth and the witches exploited Macbeth’s flaw, his flaw of being easily influenced. A true villain does not let others bring out the evil in them. They bring it out themselves. Macbeth was a man plagued by his own bad decisions. When Macbeth killed his king, he sealed his own fate. Macbeth knew that that would haunt him for the rest of his life. When Macbeth committed murder, he crossed over a line into a field of unspeakable evil, which he could never cross back. That murder scarred Macbeth. Macbeth was a very unfortuna ...
... without water. Similarly, there is a small scavenger race called Jawas who live out in the desert in the story Star Wars. In Dune the main character is a teenage boy whose father was killed by the evil Vladmir, a powerful leader who he must confront and kill. The main character finds out that Vladmir is related to him, he is his uncle. He also starts to learn about a powerful force from someone close to him, his mother. Similarly, in Star Wars the main character is a teenage boy, whose father was killed by the evil Darth Vader, whom he must confront. Darth Vader also turns out to be related to the main character, his father. He also gets his first teachings ...
... mother. The kind that guards after her son through thick and through thin and loves unconditionally. Hamlet had suspected her of aiding in the killing of King Hamlet. That will be discussed later. Her character is the one character in the play that I believe does not develop but rather stays identical to the scene in which she is introduced(Act I, scene II). She is shown to be a quiet, "stand by your man" type individual who is easily influenced. This is my belief because in the second scene of the play, Hamlet is shown to be crushed by his mother's hasty remarriage. If marriage within the family was common in the days of Shakespeare, then this is understandable, ...
... life while others give up and really don't care if they commit other crimes (inside and outside of the prison). But in all reality, the prison was home for the inmates and they made it into what it was. The demeanor of the characters creates a very unique atmosphere. The story revolves around Andy who is convicted of murdering his wife and her lover in 1946 and is sentenced to life in prison. He is sent to the Shawshank prison, the state prison in Maine which is known for its harshness. At the beginning of the movie, one does not know if Andy committed the horrible crime of murder. But what is known is that he is not ready for prison and honestly doesn't s ...
... how to use a camera and use it to film scenes in many different cases. Jeanette Ruthven states that a director will have to review the script, meet with designers, pan for filming times, and set many events which takes many types of skills. A director must also know how to deal with a cast and it's many problems. These skills and talents that are required to direct a single scene or an entire movie is entirely up to the director. A director has many jobs that must be known and taken care of in order to produce a motion picture. He must prepare and decide on a script, choose a cast and a film crew, raise money for production, and find the proper security for ...
... our battlements" (Act 1, Scene 2:line22, 23) Macbeth was not a bad man at first he was a very noble ally to Duncan. When Macbeth he saw the Three Witches everything changed. They told him things he wanted to here and he believed them. He told Lady Macbeth what the witches said. She taught him and ridiculed him to be evil. He listened to her and that is when the trouble started. The first ignoble killing by Macbeth was the killing of what was supposed to be his friend Duncan. Macbeth killed Duncan to become king. "And only thy blade and dudgeon gouts of blood It is the bloody business which informs" (Act 2, Scene1: lines 46-48) Macbeth starts to halluc ...
