Black And White Polish Jews

The pseudo-traditional German folk song (composed by John Kinder and Fred Ebb for the film) continues, more and more instruments join in and the tempo picks up. Naturally this has an effect on our two characters who leave soon after and return to their car. By which time, the music has reached a massive crescendo. Max turns to Brian a...

Adolf Hitler Lower Class
764 wordsMuch like Adolf Hitler, Joseph Stalin was one of the most ruthless and diabolical people in the history of the world. Hitler once said of Stalin, He is a beast, but hes a beast on a grand scale who must command our unconditional respect. In his own way, he is a hell of a fellow! (Stalin Breaker of Nations, p. xvi) What Hitler said of Stalin is only his opinion, and it is not a valid one at that. For you must consider the source, it takes a beast like Adolf Hitler to know a beast and Stalin was a...

Roman Polanski York Ny
1,256 wordsRoman Polanski incorporated religious themes into his films, A Knife In The Water (Poland 1962) and Rosemary's Baby (U. S. 1968). A Knife In The Water contains some Christian imagery that is not incorporated into the plot or theme of the film. In contrast, the central theme of Rosemary's Baby is religion. I believe this difference illustrates the fact that Polanski desired to make a radical religious film but was unable to do so until he came to The United States. A Knife In The Water is a film ...
