Anthony Burgess Personal Freedom
730 wordsIn the novel, A Clockwork Orange, I feel that Anthony Burgess has tried to show the importance of individual freedom over doing the right thing. However he has taken an extreme example of violence and perverse acts to accent this belief. It is my opinion that Burgess has somehow been blinded to the facts of nature in his quest to ensure personal freedom. The lines of just cause and moral principle have been eliminated. Personal freedom can be described as acting upon your own accord and not beco...

Power Rangers Violent Television
1,742 wordsIn my experiment I will study the behavior of children before, during and after viewing a violent television program, specifically "The Power Rangers.

Alienation In Modern Society
1,280 wordsI will compare and contrast Mike Newell's Dance with a Stranger and Danny Boyle's Shallow Grave in terms of alienation. The reasoning behind my choice is that these two films have explicit characteristics in the frame of alienation. Both highlight modern alienation in terms of alienated sexuality, isolation, normlessness whereas Newell discusses alienation also in class and gender difference perspective; Boyle discusses alienation in the working place as an alienated labour. To begin with, when ...

Made Me Feel Sense Of Humor
1,727 wordsTHE POWER OF COMEDY! Mark What is Comedy? Some people have the misconception that comedy is the actual opposite of drama. However under closer examination it is apparent that Comedy is that of a dramatic work. Dramatic work that is light and often humorous or satirical in tone and that usually contains a happy resolution of a conflict. Comedy keeps the world in motion, it allows people to shrug off rude comments, laugh at one another, and it creates a casual environment. There are many types of ...

Clockwork Orange Pure Evil
612 wordsA Clockwork Orange To leave out the final chapter of A Clockwork Orange is to change the entire meaning of the novel; as Burgess says in the introduction, his story is transformed into a fable. Without the last chapter the reader is left with a dark and pessimistic theme, that absolute good and evil exist in this world and it is possible for a man to be pure evil. Alex is conditioned and unconditioned, and in the end all indications point to a malicious life of crime. He is a clockwork orange, p...

Aspects Of Human Stanley Kubrick
1,654 wordsIt is easy to look into the eyes of a motion picture and dissect it for its form, style, underlying meanings, and other characteristics that separate it from a film and a classic.

The Auteur theory is described as a filmmaker, usually a director, who exercises creative control over his or her works and has a strong ...
