Orson Welles Citizen Kane

The biggest mistake we have made is to consider
that films are primarily a form of entertainment.
The film is the greatest medium since the
invention of movable type for exchanging ideas and
information, and it is no more at its best in
light entertainment than literature is at its best
in the light novel. -Orson Welles Orson Welles was
passionate about film. By the young age of 25, he

Wild Animals Illegal Activities

Silent Valley was actually the name adopted by the
British when they first saw the peculiar nature
related to this beautiful valley surrounded by
mountain ranges. The thing they noticed was the
silence in the forests in the valley. Unlike what
is found in the other forests of Kerala where
crickets hum throughout the day and become more
active as the night approaches, it was noticed
that here there was no humming even during the
night. The silence becomes eerily loud as we

Forced To Work Character Development
936 words
The most apparent difference between Dracula and
Nosferatu is that one was made while film was
still without sound-at least dialogue-and the
other was not. This difference, though not a
revelation in itself, leads to a great number of
much more in-depth contrasts that deserve
discussion. In making a silent film, a director
must rely on sight-and a certain amount of text-to
portray to the audience his intended emotional,
and intellectual reaction. As a result of this,
the director is not able to ...

Silence Of Death Silence Appears One
821 words
If one would try to comprehensively describe and
identify the meaning of silence the first idea
that would come to mind would be the opposite of
noise or absence of noise. However a deeper look
in this matter would lead to a more bizarre and
peculiar understanding of the proper definition of
silence. Silence is usually characterized by such
attributes as stillness, peace and calmness and as
everyone has a different and in at some point
unique perception of those factors its real and
personal qua...
