Middle Aged Social Pressure
783 words
Civilisation has a tendency to attempt to divide
people into different groups. Our environment
weighs and measures us; then places us into a
certain company. Frank and Rita are the very
example of two persons placed in very different
social compartments. Their places in society
differ greatly as do their roles as student and
teacher. And yet as one examines the script of
Educating Rita it seems as though two people, who
society has attempted to separate from each other
in every possible way, sti...

Younger Brother Main Reason
1,295 words
A Gothic horror story of quite exceptional
quality... macabre, bizarre and... quite
impossible to put down. The above quote is the
response of the Financial Times to the
best-selling novel, The Wasp Factory, and in my
opinion, truer words were never spoken. I myself
had to force the book out of my hands in the early
hours of the morning on several occasions. This
clearly says something about the sheer power of
Iain Banks debut novel. Whether you love it or
hate it, once you have read the first p...

Dirks Blue Velvet White Picket Fence Frank
1,604 words
David 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...
