This was another movie based on obsession, but this obsession was a lot darker than Portrait of Jennie. The obsession here leads to death. I think it was interesting to see the Madeline/Judy character play out, you could really tell when she was ... http://blogs.elsweb.org/khusband/2007/07/25/vertigo/ What an ironic time to talk about love. Sorry if I sound so pessimistic. I'm not bitter or anything. The concept of soul mates and finding the one person of your life is the theory behind Portrait of Jennie, and we can see Eben's behavior as he ... http://blogs.elsweb.org/khusband/2007/07/25/portrait-of-jennie/ The Westerner is regarded as one of those classic genre films so easily identifiable by the public due to its characters, settings, and story plots. These movies are filled with semantic and syntactic elements, such as small dusty towns, bars, horses, guns, and cowboy hats, with the ultimate ... http://blogs.elsweb.org/khusband/2007/07/23/the-big-finale-utilizing-unit-i-cognate-a-fistful-of-dollars/ After our FTC day, I decided to do a little reasearch about male and female roles in the cinema, when I came across this interesting article. According to studies, male roles dominating female roles is on the rise, or at least it is in children's movies. Children are at ... http://blogs.elsweb.org/khusband/2007/07/21/ftc-day-iii/ I would like to start this post off by thanking Dr. C For putting me in a depressed mood for the rest of the day. Just kidding. But no, that ending made me so sad and made me think about a lot of things. And the way class ... http://blogs.elsweb.org/khusband/2007/07/18/fast-cheap-and-out-of-control/ Let's just say I had a total Matrix moment during our FTC day talking about reality and portraying what was real and what reality really is. Maybe we are all just imagining this world and we are really being controlled by robots? Oh wait, that also feeds in to ... http://blogs.elsweb.org/khusband/2007/07/18/ftc-day-2/ I loved this documentary. Loved it. I loved how Errol Morris used a recreation of the scene of the crime and changed details as each person told their version of the story. It was great. It is chilling that Harris was allowed to kill again, and it ... http://blogs.elsweb.org/khusband/2007/07/16/thin-blue-line/ This movie was... interesting. A documentary about pet burial? Or is it? I definitely didn't pick up on some of the themes until we talked about them in class, and then it all became clear. I find it interesting that people were so concerned with their pets, ... http://blogs.elsweb.org/khusband/2007/07/11/gates-to-heaven/ The 1994 version of Little Women, directed by Gillian Armstrong, was my favorite of the three movies seen in class. I like this Jo the best, actually I liked all of the characters of this version better. And to be fair, I think it was because of the style ... http://blogs.elsweb.org/khusband/2007/07/10/little-women-part-iii/ I was a little hesitant at first about a discussion day because I wasn't sure if it would turn out to be an awkward staring contest, but I am quite happy that we all got to talking (even though I didn't do that much talking.) I would like to talk a ... http://blogs.elsweb.org/khusband/2007/07/09/ftc-day/
