    The film O Brother Where Art Thou is cleverly and intelligently based on the famous Odyssey by the well-known Homer. There are quite a few distinctive differences though. While in the movie, Ulysses didn’t have any affairs, his wife did not wait patiently for him, he had six daughters, and each of his accompanying men stayed with him until the end of the journey. In the poem the setting was vastly unlike; Odysseus wasn’t an escaping criminal during the depression. Other than those and a few others, there were many parallel aspects, situations and relationships that had a resemblance to the Odyssey. In the epic poem Circe turns the men into animals, in the movie one of characters believe that his companion has been turned into a toad. Ulysses’…

This period of time is considered to have been a renaissance for American cinema, and was titled the ‘New Hollywood’ by cotemporary critics of the time.

    Sag Harbor was a wonderful example of how people could overcome segregation and wrongful classification to establish and build a community where African Americans did not have to fear the people in their environment. They were many positive stories that showed how regardless of unfair and unequal treatment many Black Americans prospered by creating a loving and family oriented community that contrasted with the lavish life among the rich. Sadly, the livelihood of this wonderful community was threatened by those who had the financial resources to buy or force out those who were unable to keep up with the changing economy. It was very disheartening seeing the young man in the film say it would be difficult to keep his grandparents’ home. Despite…

    “Horror films effectively center on the darkside of life, the forbidden, and strange and alarming events (Goodykoontz & Jacobs, 2013).” Horror films are commonly associated with scary films. Scary films usually have a villain, a murderer, a monster, a ghost or some other frightening entity. Although, Captain Phillips doesn’t fit into the common image of horror films with blood and guts, Greengrass created a film based off a true story that does show us a darker side of life and an alarming event. Horror films deal with our primal nature and its fears (Goodykoontz & Jacobs, 2013). The fear of being taken is very real whether on a ship with twenty other people or walking down the street…

    The Conspirator opens with a brutal night of Abraham Lincoln’s assassination. In the aftermath, eight conspirators are charged with plotting to murder the President, Vice-President, and Secretary of State. The lone woman among them, Mary Surratt owns a boarding house where John Wilkes Booth and his accomplices met to plan the attacks. Her son, John Surratt, was also allegedly part of the conspiracy, though he vanished after the killings. A Union war hero and lawyer, Frederic Aiken, agrees to defend Mary when her Southern attorney convinces him she needs a Northern soldier on her side for a fair trail, since she’s a civilian being tried by a military tribunal. Like most Lincoln supporters Aiken is sure Mary’s guilty and believes helping her betrays his country. He smirks with hatred and distrust when she denies being an assassin during their first jail cell interview. Yet his compassion and sense of justice gets the better of him as he soon realizes the military tribunal and its prosecutor Holt, decided Mary’s fate long before the trial began and will do whatever it takes to make sure they get the outcome they demand. Aiken does his best to raise enough reasonable doubt to convince half of the tribunal of Mary’s innocence; but due to the influence of Stanton on this case, Mary Surratt was proven guilty and hanged.…
