Outlook On Life Forrest Gump
714 wordsThere is a huge difference between very bad movies and very good ones. Thats because films can be on either side of the quality scale. A good movie has the ability to burrow deep into the subconscious, with unpredictable and occasional remarkable results. A great work of art can cause euphoria, touch a deep emotional chord, or, in rare cases effect fundamental changes in a persons outlook on life. A movie that can do all of the above and more is Forrest Gump. Forrest Gump is a movie with a great...

Sit Up And Take Notice Energizer Bunny Batteries

It seems like that pink bunny rabbit is running across the television screen every other second, it's so annoying. The advertising campaign has been so effective that not only did the company (finally) surpass Duracell in sales, but the advertising company was awarded an Obie (the advertising equivalent of the "Oscar"...

Dead Poets Society Banking Concept Of Education
898 wordsDoes the movie Dead Poets Society demonstrate education as the practice of freedom and engaged pedagogy or does it mirror the "banking concept" of education? I'm convinced this film reflects both aspects of education. What does engaged pedagogy and "banking concept" of education mean?

Malleus Maleficarum Monotheistic Religions
885 wordsHorned gods were worshipped in Europe and the rest of the world from the dawn of humanity. They were always part of a pagan belief system, a polytheistic belief system, which accepted many gods.

Dirks Blue Velvet White Picket Fence Frank
1,604 wordsDavid Lynch's Blue Velvet is an exploration of things above and below the surface. This surface is really a borderline between not only idyllic suburban America and the dark, perverted corruption that lies underneath but also between good and evil, conscious and subconscious, dream and reality. Although this division seems quite rigid and clean-cut some of the most important implications of the film stem from the transgressions of these borderlines. In the initial scenes of the film Lynch introd...

San Francisco Open Field
