years, but does not express much concern. Kane is very sarcastic in his approach and has a small smirk on his face during the shot. The lighting is from the bottom, but very low light. Deep focus is also used in this scene, even though we are very close to Kane’s face we can still see Thatcher’s head.

need to tell you all of the story." There was a long pause as I built up enough courage to tell Carpenter the hardest part of my not-so-exciting news. I continued, "We only have a week to get everything finished and turned into EPCC, artwork and all. This includes a couple creativity rounds with the exec. board about the design and direction of the deck. Seven days, start to finish."

conclusion of the very first chapter of the novel, he foreshadows his sadistic tendencies when he very nearly kills a pig. Later, he is shown acclimating to his environment (i.e. the forest) and refining his hunting abilities.

Sometimes, a director could choose to represent a few events inaccurately in exchange for more impactful and dramatic, but inaccurate scenes. In the film industry, most directors are looking to appeal to as wide an audience as possible

Kurzel’s adaptation of ‘Macbeth’ remains loyal and truthful to Shakespeare’s language and terminology, characters, setting and plot.

I could never deny that I am a huge fan of Studio Ghibli movies. Their movies are simply magical—the elements that are put into the movies create a beautiful combination beyond comparison.

But there’s another reason why my love for the movies runs really deep—the intrinsic values underlying those

he wore black and dark colors and he also had scissor as hands because that is what his inventor gave him. Edward's hair showed his character.
