Based on the homonymous, multi-awarded manga by Ryohei Saigan, this particular film is taking place in Tokyo in the 50's, where, following the end of the war, an intense sense of hope has ensued.
The script follows the lives of the habitats of a slum in that period. Mitsuko shows up to Tokyo from the country, in order to work for a large corporation; however, upon her arrival, she realizes that the company is actually a small car-repair shop, owned by Norifumi Suzuki. Furthermore, it is situated in the ground floor of the family's residence, where Mitsuko is supposed to live from now on.

He is protected however, because he is the son of the previous shogun and a brother to the current. An old lord, Doi Tashitsura, assigns to a trustworthy samurai, Shimada Shinzaemon to organize Naritsugu's murder.
He enlists ten more samurai and subsequently his nephew, Shimada Shirokuro; all together, they make a plan to ambush Eiichi and his 70 soldiers, during their return from Edo. During their course, they meet a hunter, Kiga Koyata, who subsequently becomes the 13th assassin.
Miike took the old film and added violence, blood and much slapstick humor (the scene with the mayor is preposterously hilarious) thus transforming it after his own, unique style. The movie is split into two parts: the initial one entails almost no action, apart from the violent acts of Naritsugu that are shot in the typically extreme Miike fashion; the second is filled with impressive battle scenes, where the large budget of the film becomes obvious.
Koji Yakusho is great as always in the role of Shimada Shinzaemon, despite the fact that he acts in the fashion of the protagonists of the old samurai films, with grandiloquence and intense
Adding her own experiences provided a genuine counter argument to the common misconceptions people have about writers, and this was the most influential and persuasive part of the article, to me. This ties into previous readings we’ve had because they all stick with the same theme that writing does not come easy and you may not even realize you like it. This is illustrated in Writing with Super Pencil by Dylan DuLac. DuLac loved writing comics as a young child, but as schooling mindlessly controlled his writing and limited it to boring essays he didn’t have true emotion behind, he began to lose interest in it, until later in his life when he writes this piece. Basically, he hit a few bumps in the road when he was younger, but he eventually came back around and began to write again.

In Drew Faust book, This republic of suffering, Faust attempted to depict the social impact the Civil War had on the American people. In decribing individual stories, and going beyond the tactial information about the battles fought, this retelling of the Civil war pays homage to the individual lives that sacraficed and persevered during one of the most trying times in the nation. The act of dying is described in nine different acts, dying and killing,burying, naming, realizing, believeing and doubting, and accounting. Amongst the many differences between Union and Confederate soilders, the unifying sting of death united them, as well as the mothers, widows and orphans that the deceased left behind.

A series of events leads him to cross paths with the famed but forgotten filmmaker George Melies. A number of characters in this film are trapped by their pasts including the characters of Hugo and Melies. Much like Sunset Boulevard the imagery of the main setting is representative of the characters being left behind as the world moves forward without them. The majority of the film takes place within a train station which serves as both a home to Hugo and contains the toyshop Melies owns. Day after day the film’s protagonists remain within the walls of the train station, a place that is by definition meant to transport people.
The book Rebirth overall was a great book to read about the Chicano history. It was detailed about the rough time in Los Angeles for Mexican Immigrants. It showed me certain viewpoints that I would’ve never saw such as the discrimination against U.S citizens being labeled as illegal aliens because of their looks. From what I read most Los Angeles Mexican American settlers were deported on a small compact train that was full of people from the United States to Mexico. Simply, because of their skin color or their similar looks to Mexicans.
In an ardent tone, King reminds writers that passion is a necessity. He writes, “The sort of strenuous reading and writing program I advocate—four to six hours a day, every day—will not seem strenuous if you really enjoy doing these things and have an aptitude for them” (150). “When you find something at which you are talented, you do it (whatever it is) until your fingers bleed or your eyes are ready to fall out

Baron claims that, “...not everyone should write because not everyone has something to say”(Baron 707). Not everyone’s material is worth to reading so why create pieces that will be neglected to readers. If profound literature is created, readers will gain excitement and therefore writers will also gain success. When writing is overdone, the meaning of literature and its logic minimizes. Baron’s purpose is to clear up the issue of why not everyone should write and the public can easily gain an insight into why
This movie takes place in South Central Los Angeles California where a crippling neighborhood sits just next to some of the wealthiest neighborhoods in California. It is in this documentary that they study how such a poor community can exist and how crime has riddle the streets to stay a community. The beginning of the movie talks about its once thriving area.
