regularly edited out of TV screenings‚ presumably because the songs are widely (but not universally) disliked. Dahl’s screenplay follows his book’s basic storyline fairly closely. Mel Stuart’s direction however takes some parts of the movie in a slightly darker direction than the book. One sequence‚ for example‚ the boat ride on the chocolate river‚ in hindsight shows a psychedelic influence seen more at rock concerts than in films for children. I think that the book can be enjoyed

Lowry‚ is a fascinating story about a different type of society and learning the secrets behind it. The movie of the same name directed by Phillip Noyce‚ is creative‚ but showed some very disappointing changes from the book. All in all‚ the book is far more preferable because the plot is far more exciting‚ the characters are developed well‚ and the creativeness is more descriptive than that of the movie.

The 1999 film Fight Club‚ based on Chuck Palahniuk’s novel of the same name‚ was received as one of the most controversial films of the year‚ and has since gained a strong cult popularity.

The setting is bleak and degraded – the main character‚ who remains unnamed for the entirety of the film‚ inhabits a city that seems perpetually dark and run down. All in all‚ the film attempts

William Shakespeare is probably the greatest dramatist of England. I think everyone has read one of his great plays or at least has seen one of the movies which are based on Shakespeare’s work. In this essay I will compare two of his tragedies ’Hamlet‚ Prince of Denmark’ and ’Tragedy of King Lear’. King Lear is perhaps Shakespeare’s most psychologically dark tragedy. The naive and pitiable Lear with his children‚ Goneril‚ Regan and Cordelia present all that is right and wrong with a father’s relationship

Macbeth Geoffrey Wright‚ director of the Australian adaptation of William Shakespeare novel‚ Macbeth had a very different mindset.

However I do not think this movie was a good adaptation to the book because it was very irrelevant with few connections

for one will never cease to strive for it. After receiving the letter Macbeth sent to me about all that has happened‚ I realized this is a perfect opportunity to take charge in what needs to be done. Even though Macbeth desires power equally as much as I do‚ I feel that I am the more ruthless and conniving one. Macbeth seems to be too kind-hearted in nature and has a bit more of a solid conscience. I made sure however‚ that Macbeth understood that power is a difficult thing to achieve and everything
