Charlie Kaufman's Film

358 Words2 Pages

I first became interested in applying to NYU when I fell in love with Charlie Kaufman’s films. After watching Synecdoche New York, I researched Kaufman in order to learn more about his career as well as his background. I first found out that he had attended NYU’s Tisch School of the Arts, and I then discovered all the other incredible men and women who have walked through Tisch’s doors, to later mold film into what it is today. As one of the top film schools in the world, Tisch has the ability to help me achieve my full potential as a filmmaker, allowing me to enrich my creative perspective as I learn from the minds that taught masters like Martin Scorsese or Phillip Seymour Hoffman. I long to live in the environment that New York city embodies,

This oppression began with the conquering of the United States and continued on for centuries. In the modern world, these men, many generations ahead, seem to be similarly programmed, and are still hungry for the things that fuel their ego: A healthy appearance, powerful social status, superior educational background, and a high-powered profession.

And a kind superiority is something that the most power-driven men would kill for.

  • Humor In Charlie Chaplin's Film Modern Times

    1720 Words  | 7 Pages

    One of the most valuable aspects of personality is humor – we value one’s sense of humor and make friends often based on finding certain things funny. But how and why do we consider things to be funny at all? Human beings have strived to uncover fundamental truths about human nature for centuries – even millennia – but humor itself is still yet to be pinpointed. Henri Bergson is only one of many who has attempted this feat, and his essay Laughter: an essay on the meaning of the comic from 1911 breaks down comedy into what he believes to be its essential forms and origins. While Bergson makes many valid points, Charlie Chaplin’s film Modern Times that was brought to screens only twenty years later seems to contradict many of Bergson’s theories, while Bergson seems to contradict even himself over the course of his essay.
