History reveals that the Romans also abandoned these adopted traditions for Christianity. Christianity takes the Hebrew tradition and adds a second chapter so to speak. The Hebrews do not accept this Christian theology but both share the same original traditions. The Hebrew God passed down to man standards for righteous living. The Ten C...

William Wallace Great Epic Film
496 wordsThe Tale of a Martyr The majestic Scottish countryside is a truly beautiful setting for an inspiring movie. Braveheart is a great epic about courage, betrayal, bravery, and most of all, freedom. Many epic films have a great, almost unattainable quest. This epic, much like Braveheart's predecessors, has a purpose. Scotland's quest for freedom from the tyranny of England's rule had been a dream that the main character, William Wallace, made a reality for his countrymen. This breath-taking movie pe...

Helena Bonham Carter Franco Zeffirelli Hamlet
731 wordsMel Gibson and Franco Zeffirelli's adaptation of Hamlet has filled some of the gaps left by Shakespeare. This version of the classic story is thoroughly watchable. This is "Hamlet for the 90 s, " according to the director, and it is an especially entertaining version. With much of the text diced, the pace quickened, and the action streamlined, the film offers what amounts to an introduction to Shakespeare's classic, without losing any of the play's psychological complexities. Gibson is perfect a...

Evil serves as everything that a person fears and hates. It serves as a foil to the qualities of good. Where good brings love, evil spawns hate; where good brings hope, evil creates despair. The conflict between Good and Evil can be traced back to Biblical times and can be characterized by the conflict between God and ...

Cyberpunk science fiction is the apotheosis of post-modernism, in one assessment, dystopian anticipation, in the lights of another, and the only art systematically dealing with the most crucial political, philosophical, moral, and cultural issues of our day, as envisioned by a third.
