This communication takes place on many different levels (relaxed to formal), places (home, with friends, at the work place, in […]

The opening scene is the funeral and Hochleitner expressing his condolences to Rachel. Then, before we even meet Book, the camera follows Hochleitner around. That made me believe he was going to try and make a move for Rachel, and he was doing so before…[Read more]

In the cases of the first four films of this course, the hero has without a doubt been the protagonist. Terry Malloy, the protagonist of On the Waterfront (1954) is certainly a hero, but not necessarily the hero. Without the heroic acts of Edie Doyle and Father Barry that opened Terry’s eye…[Read more]

I’ve always been told that using “I” in essays is a taboo of sorts, and I will be honest, when I was […]

Technology, especially technology used for social purposes has become a working part of a great majority of […]
