At times it does appear that Gatsby’s greatest weakness is his love for Daisy. That being said, Gatsby does not obtain his wealth through honorable means. After one of his parties a man is beaten by his servants (to which we assume are Gatsby’s orders). He is…[Read more]

After this movie ended I was overwhelmed with a feeling of confusion and dissatisfaction. The whole movie created tension between the family, but never revealed the reasoning.  As for the plot, it was more a series on unanswered questions rather than a story line: What happened to their mother?…[Read more]

I think it is interesting and important that members of the Amish community see Rachel in a sensual manner. As Kristen pointed out earlier, “the male gaze is also utilized during the barn raising, when…[Read more]

Shaw is a newlywed and like […]

Two aspects that haven’t been mentioned so far though are the idea of the goddess and the boon. I think Edward’s wife Sandra […]

Black and white films are considered classics, but are often overlooked by viewers.

Black and white movies pale in comparison to modern…[Read more]
