In Alexander Mackendrick’s 1957 classic‚ Sweet Smell of Success‚ the character of J.J. Hunsecker is extremely powerful‚ respected and lonely. This is also true of the character Jerry Langford in Scorsese’s 1983 film‚ The King of Comedy. Both character’s share positions of supremacy and therefore can be easily contrasted with reference to their similarities and differences. J.J. is the most powerful newspaper columnist in New York‚ thus yielding authority with his command over the press. Jerry is

Like a Rolling Stone "Like a Rolling Stone" is a 1965 song by American singer Bob Dylan. Like a Rolling Stone is an intense succession of feelings‚ a provocation to the "miss Lonely"‚ a girl who fell into disgrace and shame after having lived in prosperity and wealth. Moreover‚ it is Bob Dylan’s liberation: in the spring of 1965‚ returning from the tour of England (documented in the film "Don’t Look Back")‚ Dylan was unhappy with the public’s expectations of him‚ as well as the direction his career

Edith Wharton’s works of literature are characterized by an obvious use of dramatic irony. In her books The Age of Innocence and The House of Mirth‚ she tells stories that are so different they share a similar message. The underlying themes‚ while different‚ carry a common theme of society pressures‚ expectations and love troubles. The protagonist from each novel has goals‚ hope‚ and obstacles to face. The Age of Innocence‚ a novel that takes place in New York during the 1870’s‚ centers on a

An Unforgettable Journey I stepped a foot towards a step. I looked for my seat in the economy class. It is here. I sat down slowly as I think of the possible things I am going to do when I come back home. Its been15 years since I last saw my high school classmates. “Can I do something for you sir?” a voice surprised me. As I looked up‚ I saw a familiar face. It seems as if I seen her somewhere. I remembered. It is Fabbelle Cartilla‚ an old classmate since elementary. She became a flight attendant

He is married to Mrs. May Welland because on line 43‚ the narrator calls her by ‘his wife’. He seems to lead a well-off life since he gave to his wife ‘a small highly-varnished Verboeckhoven “Study of Sheep” ‘ (l. 13)‚ which must be quite expensive. Besides‚ it should also have signified that they are a loving couple. Only I can observe that their

For this portion of the exam‚ I chose to review Goodfellas because it embodies a vast amount of the terms from the text. It is also the film that I was most familiar with prior to start of this class‚ as well the film that I have revisited frequently‚ for both entertainment and educational purposes. The film begins with the camera following a Lincoln that seems to be traveling at high speed. The tail lights serve as the high-key diegetic lighting which slightly illuminates the silhouette of the rear

It is evident that Newland Archer goes through a series of events that define his personality and from which we can deduct the truth. Archer finds redemption in his sons‚ love and pity coming from May. The biggest constant motif of The Age of Innocence is mortality and immortality. When Wharton first describes the characters of New York Society‚ they are always conceived of as immortal in some way. By saying this meaning that she portrays them as being like the mythological Greek antiquity‚ or

Dream my Dream Without dream‚ there can be no courage; without courage‚ there can be no action. What Wim Wenders said indicates the importance of the dream‚ which no one can deny. Most people’s dream is not stable and changes with the time going by‚ but the critical point is that they do have a dream. I’m the person with a dream. I once romantically dreamed to be an excellent diplomat at early age and later‚ I was looking forward to teaching undergraduates in a historical university. But now‚ I’m
