The Pirates Film Analysis

These ways of life are either reestablished or abandoned throughout the story. Not only do these conducts develop the characters, but they also provide the reader with a knowledge about different lifestyles during this era. Ben Gunn, an influential character in Treasure Island, is an important and intriguing addition to the story. Although Benn Gunn is a former pirate, he has always had a chivalrous behavior due to his upbringing. “ I was a civil, pious boy, and could rattle off my catechism as fast as you couldn't tell one word from another.” (pg 141) This is one example in the text where Gunn reminisces about his benevolence during his childhood.

For example, “The strong wore weights to make them weaker; the intelligent wore earpieces that kept them from taking unfair advantage of their brains. Even the beautiful sometimes wore masks in situations where their beauty might simply be … too distracting” (Tupper 2). That is where handicaps differ from modern society. In American modern society people use handicaps to help them, like glasses and crutches. For example, “The purpose of eyeglasses and contact lenses is to correct or improve the vision of people” (Eyeglasses and Contact Lenses).

It is a coming-of-age story, a hero’s journey, and a saga of pirates, the fascinating outlaws of the sea. The hero and narrator of the story is Jim, a well-behaved young lad who is the son of an innkeeper. His placid life is changed with the arrival of a sailor, Billy, who seems to have a secret. Jim becomes entangled with the old man’s fears and plans, acting as a lookout, and as the weeks go by, and Billy proceeds to occupy with room without payment, drink heavily, and terrorize the locals, Jim begins to realize that this is not some old sailor from a merchant ship: By his own account he must have lived his life among some of the wickedest men that God ever allowed upon the sea, and the language in which he told these stories shocked our plain country people almost as much as the crimes that he described. (Stevenson 10).

In this novel “The Strange Case of Dr Jekyll and Mr. Hyde”, Robert Louis Stevenson has used both character and setting to illustrate the theme duality very successfully. He chose the setting in the late ninetieth centuries during the Victorian Time in London. His main message throughout the novel is everyone that we know all have it own dark side and desire to do something evil to other people. Furthermore, his wider message is the struggle of human between good and evil, religion versus science and will the duality still happen within this modern time now. The duality of characters and setting is developed along with the story and characters.

The feature film expands the truth putting a lot of extra details that aren’t necessarily true, example it shows the crew putting glass down as a trap for the somolian pirates but in fact they didn’t. Paragraph 1: “A feature film is a film with a running time long enough to be considered the principal or sole film to fill a program”. Everybody knows pirates as scary men with eyepatches,

Another place in this paragraph that emphasizes the color pink being a claim of wealth is when it says “the hues were forward-looking rather than old-fashioned, just right for a generation, raised in the Depression, that was ready to celebrate its new affluence” (Price). This quote shows that the color pink was a big way people claimed their wealth. The people raised in the depression did not want to be recognized as being poor, so making everything pink was a big way to show their wealth. All throughout this article, Price crafts her text to reveal that the United States culture mainly consisted of Americans proving their wealth. The main way Price crafts her text is by separating it into two different subjects, the flamingo and the color pink, and using big, descriptive words to further elaborate on the two topics.

Thus, fair skin is linked with urban residency along from being in a wealthy family. Additionally, those who are more wealthy are able to splurge on skin whitening procedures and products and are more likely of being able to achieve fairer skin. This creates a greater divide between the two social classes as this can cause those who cannot afford such procedures to be stigmatized. Nevertheless, importance of having fair skin is not supported in all cultures. For example, in Western societies, femininity includes having bronzed and tanned skin.

James Whaley is an English born director whom participated in several films for Universal studios where he eventually took up the task of directing Mary Shelley’s Frankenstein novel following the popular release of Dracula that same year. The success of Frankenstein was rooted in it’s genre being a horror film and the immediate success it brought to movie producers. The interpretation by Whaley is highlighted by several plot transitions which are not shown in the movie as well as certain alterations like Henry Frankenstein (Victor in the book) using a criminal brain rather than any other brain collected as implied by Shelley. Other major differences in the plot of the movie compared to the novel involves the monster Frankenstein himself and everything about the character. In the movie Frankenstein is portrayed as an impulsive monster only capable of fulfilling his most physical and animal like actions.

In this essay, I will use two separate parts to illustrate the relationship between this film and mythology. The first part is the hero's journey of Harry Potter, the protagonist of this film, and the second section is how the archetypes in the movie relating to each other. There are a bunch of movies and novels that fit into hero's journey, which is an idea from Joseph Campbell. In fact, every separate movie in J.K Rowling's series of Harry Potter followed a small hero's journey, and the whole series also followed a big hero's journey. But I will be focus on this particular movie, Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire, in this essay.
