Monty Python and the Holy Grail’s creators emphasized carelessness and cowardice. The knights ran away in fear, killed innocent civilians, and argued over nonsense. Every component of this Arthurian Legend was twisted around in order to satirize the story. For example, Arthur’s battle with the Black Knight was an important component of the legend conveyed in a completely different light. The fight was hilarious rather than glorious.
This drama/thriller was very unique, “the way it shuffles from tone to tone – animated music video one second, unforgettably dark pastiche of a cheesy TV sitcom the next”. (Parker) It was probably the most controversial film of the 1990’s and one of the most underrated as well. This film has actually received more credit as time has passed. Oliver Stone’s message and overall theme was heard loud and clear after viewing this film.
His alcoholism causes him to be abusive and eventually leads him cutting Pluto’s eye out and hanging him. The same night of Pluto’s hanging, the man’s house burns down, where he sees the impression of a giant cat with a noose around his neck on one of the walls of the burnt house. Eventually he gets another black cat with some white fur. He starts to hate this cat, so he also kills it.
He says shocked.” In most kidnappings the kids want to go home and not be held captive. But in the ‘the ransom of the red chief’ the little boy is so fascinated and adventurous and that he would rather be kidnapped then be at home.
The archetype I chose was The Evil Figure with Ultimately Good Heart which meaning is; a devil figure with the potential to be good, this person is usually saved by the love of the hero. This archetype has been represented by many movies, books, and video games. The archetype of The Evil Figure with Ultimately Good Heart is shown in the movie "Despicable Me" by Gru who is a cold-hearted man who 's only objective is to become the world 's greatest villain. It is also shown in the movie "Shrek" by Shrek an evil ogre that is feared and wanted dead by many in the valley where his beloved swamp resides. It also appears in Hades who is the king of the underworld ruler of the dead in Greek mythology.
Introductory Paragraph: In the movie “Suicide Squad”, produced by Charles Roven Richard Suckle, Deadshot (a.k.a Floyd Lawton) is a moody person and he is also known as a criminal and a dangerous, bad person, yet he still needs to fight crimes with his bad allies to save the world. He has superhuman accuracy with any weapon he touches and he is like a real life person. In the movie, he says “I don’t save people!” This refers to him being a bad person due to the fact he doesn’t use his special abilities to save people.
“The Legend of Sleepy Hollow”: a Timeless Story Forever Just then, Ichabod saw the ghost rise up and throw his head. It struck his head with a great crash and Ichabod went tumbling into the dust. “The Legend of Sleepy Hollow” is a famous classic story about a schoolmaster Ichabod and his rivalry with Brom Van Brunt (a.k.a. Brom Bones).
It is important to note that this supernatural being is one of Cain’s clan who was banished by the Creator for killing Abel. “Cain got no good from committing that murder/Because the Almighty made him anathema/And out of the curse of this exile there sprang /Ogres and elves and evil phantoms” (Heaney 109-12). In other words, monsters are created and ostracized on behalf of Cain’s action. Grendel is destined to be an atrocious demon, similar to the caste system where people are unable to move up a caste. Furthermore, the creature can be related to the character, Ralph, from the movie Wreck-It Ralph, where they both are rejected and mistreated only for being what they are.
(Ch.8) and without the acceptance he yearned for, he became bitter and resentful, acting out ruthlessly. The monster was completely misunderstood and at no stage a welcome guest. In spite of his benevolent and kind spirit, he was beaten up and even shot at. No one was willing to attempt to understand him except for Agathe who was blind, but even that was short lived as Felix was quick to attack the creature. Although labelled as a horrifying monster, nothing but his exterior fit this description, until he was discriminated by society.
Not all knowledge is good knowledge and sometimes it can cause more harm than it does good. The final example is that loneliness can change human behavior. Victor puts together old human body parts to create new life. This monster he created is an eyesore and secluded from society. Growing increasingly angry at Victor, the monster goes off and kills William and frames Justine.
The movie is really horrible especially the scenario when Beowulf and Grendel fought each other. They are both naked because Beowulf wants to have a fair battle. But for me, it is still not fair since Grendel is a giant monster and Beowulf is just only small but vigorous man. I really like the climax of the movie which is the battle of Beowulf and the Serpent.
The best villain that I know of is the Shadow man or as some know him Dr. Facilier. The shadow man is from the movie “The Princess In The Frog”. The shadow man turned prince Navine into a frog so that the shadows could rule New Orleans. The fake Navine, who was his non loyal servant, took his place to marry Lottie. The shadow man also messes with people's fate like prince Navine.
George was a murder, abusive, crazy man who made the world go round. George is considered a villain in The Great Gatsby due to his abuse he causes to the people he “loves”. In chapter 8 of the story George goes to Gatsby's house with a revolver. He shoots Gatsby killing him, then pulls the trigger on himself. This is an obvious reason to why he can be considered a villain.
Christopher Columbus the Italian explorer made a huge geographical influence known as the New World. Explorer and navigator Christopher Columbus was born in Italy in 1451. His first voyage was in 1476 and he nearly died. Columbus participated in many other voyages to Africa. The voyage he took from Spain in 1492, on the Santa Maria would make a huge geographical influence.
I both agree and disagree with Nenia Campbell’s statement. “We always vilify with what we don’t understand” (Nenia Campbell). The part in the statement that I do not agree with is the word ‘always’. I do agree that we often vilify what we do not understand, but not always. Take for example a soldier.
