The Outsiders written by SE Hinton continue to be a literary influence on the lives of many teens. This novel has been translated into 30 languages and many fine personal connections with either the plot for the characters themselves.

My favorite quotient from the book the outsiders is when Johnny is about to die and he says to pony

I am writing about the use of lighting in the opening scene of The Godfather‚ (1). The photography of The Godfather as an entire film is very planned and used specifically to generate moods‚ and have great psychological affect.

The first shot is highly dramatic in its lighting

The Great Gatsby My assignment was to compare the novel The Great Gatsby to the movies which were made in 1974 and 2000.While the basic idea of the book was expressed in both movies‚ I choose a version of 1974 because it seemed to have more noticeable details than the version which was realized in 2000. In my opinion the 2000 version didn’t do a better job in expressing the ideas of the book. The 1974 version did an excellent job in portraying the Jazz Age. The scenes of Gatsby’s party

From the beginning‚ the title of the film‚ The Conformist‚ directed by Bernardo Bertolucci in 1970‚ becomes very significant in demonstrating how Marcello “conforms” to society‚ in order to achieve normality‚ and deny his true identity throughout the film.

In this short scene‚ Marcello is walking behind the facists‚ as he is going to see the minister. When he is walking
