thesis. It was his first attempt at directing and producing a Hollywood film.
His goal was to create a film that would show the future state of the world if
it was to continue on its path of the search for perfection of everything. He
shows the future as a place that many people would probably not want to live or

Basketball Diaries: Movie Summary
Words: 409 / Pages: 2 .... Partly, because of his
experiences with his teachers. He did not have a personal relationship with
the priests. He felt that they were trying to control him. Jim was not very

view on the church. I was raised in environment with personable priests.
This helped me grow with the church rather than against it.
A very controversial issue is whether drugs and alcoho .....

Words: 2009 / Pages: 8 .... and the suits of woe,” is used by Hamlet to mock
his mother for her lack of grief for his father, her dead husband. At this
point in the speech, Hamlet may merely mean that his grief for his father
is genuine, but “passeth show” may also mean that he has some sort of

Words: 995 / Pages: 4 .... of mass murder and destruction because it seems to protect us from having to deal with the shock of death and recognizing it. In Psycho, Hitchcock revealed out “shock of recognition” by not letting us see the cutting and death in the shower scene. Films made after Psycho usually refer back to this scene, either working with or against the unseen cuts of the knife.
An example of a film that works with the shower scene in Psycho is obviously displayed in de Palma’s Dressed to Kill. The scene that correlates is when Peter’s mother is killed the elevator by Liz. This scene is similar to Psycho because as in Psycho when Kate has her reve .....
