The story opens with its first apparent imagery of the couple ordering beer while waiting for the train. As the man and woman begin their dialogue, the woman makes remarks about the distant hills which the train station is situated between. As they continue talking it becomes known that the woman is pregnant, and the man wants her to have an abortion. “What should we drink?” the girl asks. She has taken off her hat and put it on the table.” It’s pretty hot ,” the man say. “ Let’s drink beer”.………..”I wanted to try this new drink. That’s all we do, isn’t it- look at things and try new drinks.” the woman comments. The drinking of the beer represents the couple’s unusual recreational routine of hanging out together and not really having a serious relationship. This clearly shows that the girl is tired of doing the same thing and wants a chance of looking forward to something new, and her dissatisfaction with the relationship as a whole. Her intention at the present time is to raise this baby and have a family with him.…

Within this film it is clear that the styles of narration used by the screenwriter's are classic Hollywood narrative styles, which is when there is a "strong central protagonist and neatly resolved climax" (Bordwell and Thompson, 2005). Another way of proving that this is a classic narrated Hollywood film is by looking at what Bordwell (2005), states as the action revolving around a central character that by the end of the film fulfills his/her goal. By looking at all of the above, the point argued in this essay is clear that this film is a typical Hollywood narrated film, even though there are some techniques used by the screenwriters and directors that lean towards the way non Hollywood films are narrated.…
"They hear. They all hear the speaking of the tree. Today, the first and last of every tree speaks to humankind. Come to me, here beside the river. Plant yourself beside me, here beside the river," is another form of personification used by Angelou. The tree is also talking to the people, asking them to "plant" themselves beside it. It is saying that it is there to hold the person up, to be used at strength, something to lean against, in order to fight away all the hatred in the world. It is there for the person if they…
Movies have long been known to create a portal through which its viewers can transcend through their own realities and experience the unimaginable. The visual, sounds, and narrative of great movies immediately attract the focus of its audience as they move into a trance for those 1-2 hours of screen time. While many great movies introduce their audiences to varying experiences that heighten their senses and grasp their focus, some measure of relatability is necessary to connect with audiences. Such concepts of implementing elements of realism into the various facets of a film help establish a relevant connection, through which audiences can relate. However during the Hollywood Classical era, introducing such techniques of intensifying realism in movies was often unconventional and not an achievable goal for directors and cinematographers. The techniques required to implement such elements were either not well known or plausible. There were some movies during this era that did defy such tendencies and broke barriers in terms of delivering a movie that differentiated through such concepts like realism. Two famous films that have utilized certain techniques in creating an intensified form of realism in their own ways are Citizen Kane, by Orson Welles, and Double Indemnity, by Billy Wilder.…
One critic found a flaw in the film as “its powers of insight do not match the vividness of its surface record… he has not found the revealing devices that would open the heart of his story without breaking the admirably cool flow of its recording.” This same critic goes on to comment that its success and reception is mostly based on its win at Cannes. (Hatch). The “insight” Hatch refers to is the subjective realism of how the emotional state of the Antoine Doinel character is shown to the audience. Alpert explicitly points out the approach of candid documentary as a hindrance to the overall movie along with its graininess of the film as trying too hard to be dramatically artistic (Alpert). The expressive nature of the objective realism apparently detracted too much from the subjective realism to a point where the overall film is hurt by it according to these critics. Although the film vividly depicts all aspects of his life in the episodic nature of the film, highbrow reviews mention that there is a lack of subjective realism matching up with the level of objective realism to weaken the film. The reviewers ultimately extend their supposition to how the “highbrow” audience may be disappointed with the film for its imbalanced…
