through vulgar language and frenetic creation, which allowed the audience to better relate to the performance. I particularly liked that during the show actors dressed in both modern and time period costumes. I think it was smart to avoid actual native american costumes because these can end up becoming hurtful and insensitive to some cultures. The Indian sports apparel costumes significantly got the point across while also adding humor to the production. There were some costumes that would fit in with
As for me, it is impossible to imagine a more powerful acting performance. With no doubts, DiCaprio proved that he is a talented actor long ago, ever since his teen roles. His Hugh Glass is a man of few words. During the movie, actor utters only a few replicas, but that is where a major professional challenge lies. DiCaprio brilliantly handles the needed tasks - he spits blood, he eats raw fish and liver, he sleeps in the carcass
Personal code: gbn188 Solo Project The theorist, the theory, and the contexts I have decided to study Antonin Artaud. I am drawn to him because I’m very interested in the psychological aspect of theater, and eliciting a response from the audience. The plays that I’ve done in the past were mostly realistic and didn’t provoke a large emotion from the audience other than happiness. The Theater of Cruelty is meant to disgust and terrify the audience, which is completely new to me. Knowing the theorist
For the purpose of this assignment, I watched “Sergeant Rutledge “the first big budget American Technicolor Western and military feature film which is directed by John Ford in a 1953. The film has a run time around 1 hr51minutes and the film story mainly involves around the court-martial of 1st Sgt. The story of Braxton Rutledge told through a series of flashbacks that expanding the testimony of witnesses that give a clear narrative of the events accused of raping and murdering a white teenage
The film Fight Club, directed by David Fincher, was well received and was one of the most popular films of its time. The movie takes an interesting spin on the effects of Dissociative Identity Disorder (multiple personalities), on the individual afflicted as well as their peers. At its core, the film strives to make a statement on the effects of societal norms and the evils of consumerism on an individual’s pursuit of happiness. It utilizes Dissociative Identity Disorder and other mental disorders
In plays, no one arrives or leaves from the stage without contributing in some way to the complexity of the play. Considering two or three plays you have studied, compare the impact on meaning of some arrivals and departures from the stage. Characters invest the play with human interest, as they provide an added element to the plot. Set in a post World War II ambiance, ‘A Streetcar Named Desire’, by Tennessee Williams, he focuses upon his own personal demons embedded into the characters embarking
George Santayana Drama is one of the genres of theatre where comedy, tragedy or actions may be other genres. While drama refers to the written texts, prose or verses composition, which become theatre only when it is performed on the stage with actors performing the role of characters in the text in front of the audience i.e. it is abstract and subjective, theatre is a live performance that meant to be seen, it is physical and concrete. The renaissance period was considered the rebirth of several
Picture by Lillian Ross follows the making of the 1951 film The Red Badge of Courage. Ross, a friend of director John Huston, set out with the purpose “to learn whatever [she] might learn about the American motion picture industry” (Ross, 1952, p. 7). Ross’ work begins with a brief introduction to some of the key characters, including Huston, studio executive Louis B. Mayer, producer Gottfried Reinhardt, and a studio vice president named Dore Schary. Ross quickly sets up the conflict involved in

Throughout the past century, there has been a diversity of movies produced from romance, to action, to comedy, and to an endless variety of genres. Each film has a distinctive purpose within its plot to capture the audience’s interest. In 2011, an Oscar winning, comedy-drama film was released called The Descendants. This film displays the events of a husband, two daughters, and friends coping with an ill wife who unexpectedly suffers after a boating accident. While tending to the care of his wife
When looking at films you have to look at every aspect of the film. When it comes to most people they will watch the film and not notice little details such as framing and editing. Now being an editor my self, this is one issue that bothers me with casual viewership of movies or any other types of film. Thats when they think the editing was just done and that it takes not effort and people think that the clips are just put together. I can safely say that this is 200% false and that being an editor
The movie “The Blind Side” is an inspirational true story of real events that have taken place. This movie opens up viewers eyes to outside experiences. Viewers have the chance to get an inside look on just how much of an impact regular people can make on someone who has perhaps had a rough start to their life. Quoted from The Blind Side “When you open your eyes the past is gone, the world is a good place, and it’s all going to be ok.” From the main character in the film, Michael Oher. This text
the chance ends, it becomes credible that if one were to bark aback the bright blanket of music, “Baby Driver” is little added than the accepted account of an absurd blackmailer aggravating to escape his activity of crime. Performances by notable actors Jamie Foxx, Kevin Spacey, and Jon Hamm may footfall hardly alfresco of archetypal roles, but they never breach the cast for characters of the genre. Even
portrays the scenes in a visually pleasing manner. It captures the characters emotions and physical appearances nearly perfectly. Destin Daniel Cretton, the screenplay writer, does a wonderful job of putting the thrilling stories into action. The actors chosen could not have been better casted, Woody Harrelson, in particular, projects himself into character perfectly. Reading through the book, I wondered to myself how credible the stories actually are. I could not wrap my mind throughout the book
High School Musical, directed by Kenny Ortega, became a cultural phenomenon post its 2006 release. Underlying in its themes of acceptance and friendship, Troy Bolton experiences a Hero’s journey. High School Musical begins just as any hero’s journey with a call to adventure(1). In a typical call to adventure, the hero is introduced in a state of mundane normalcy when information received acts as a clarion call to leave their life of normalcy and “take up the sword.” Troy and Gabriella meet at a ski
The movie review written by Roger Ebert he feels as though the story in "Central Station" by Walter Salles is not to be a heartwarming one, but a story based on a journey of two peoples reawakening. Also, he believes that the success of the money was not in the director Walter Salles ' favor, but the actress Fernanda Montenegro. She became one with her character and successfully played the role of an unsentimental person who later crosses over in to kinder person. Ebert feels the movie is not about
this movie show the potential for it. Quentin Tarantino (Richard) this famous director from time to time has the bug of acting and this is one of those times. He also had the opportunity of adapting the story of the movie into a screenplay. As an actor Tarantino lefts a lot to be desire he does not have the skills to have a convincing role. He does a more creative and rewarding role as writer of the movie as he does put the dialogue needed to fit this type of movie. He was far from making more complex
To say Alexander Hamilton by Ron Chernow is a masterpiece would simply be an understatement. With high praise from nearly all readers of this novel, and encouraged the start of its own Broadway Run on August 6, 2015, it is no surprise this biography catches the eye of many. Not to be confused with the play rendition of this book by Lin-Manuel Miranda. Despite this book being “cringey” at times due to the documentation of Hamilton’s hot headed behaviors, it’s interesting to see how Hamilton created

Sometimes he even masked actors face to draw the attention away from the actor’s faces, in comparison Stanislavski says that audience must involve in the performance and audience can’t enter between the play. Stanislavski believed that actor must portray reality and truth whereas Brecht believed the actor should simply represent a social archetype. Stanislavski thought that there are very less use of props or no use or no other means of presenting information. An actor only needs his body to express
