Verisimilitude In The Kit Kat

Decent Essays
I think that MC in addition of being the narrator he plays the biggest key charterer of the film because without him the truth won't be as clear as the way that he explained it. The ways that he was reacting and the lyrics and the moves of the song explained how the Germans are living outside the Kit Kat in great poverty. For example the dancers moves were more of limited and restricted than the ones in the 42nd street and the size of the theater was not as big as the one in the 42nd street. However this explains that the Germans were in great debt and loss and their freedom and beliefs were restricted by the dominant Nazi Party. I agree that you used Verisimilitude because it was definitely there, the theater's art reflected real life.

    The Triumph of the Will, a documentary from 1935 set in Germany, revolutionized cinema when Leni Riefenstahl captured and exalted the fearless Fuhrer, Adolf Hitler and his infamous Nazi party. The film uses powerful imagery of Hitler himself and adoring crowds to emphasize his deity like leadership and the people’s love for him. In a time of insane rule, Riefenstahl’s picture was the propaganda for the Nazis that pushed its ideals through techniques that gave them false hope for the future of Germany in a ruthless and fascist regime. I will endeavor to investigate what techniques such as mise en scène and sound Riefenstahl uses to capitalize on the pathos of the viewer to follow the Nazi regime and their cause. Nazi Germany in 1935 was under the influence of the authoritarian ruler Adolf Hitler.…

    Meanwhile, it is also very clear that the elegance of Beethoven’s Ninth Symphony here forms a great contrast with scenes and plots of the film. Such highly dramatic conflict is a challenge to the traditional techniques of soundtrack and therefore conveys a strong sense of irony. Kubrick indicates this ironic contrast in this way: “I think this suggests the failure of culture to have any morally refining effect on society. Hitler loved good music and many top…

    In the 1999 movie, “A Midsummer Night’s Dream” directed by Michael Hoffman, a girl meets a boy, loses him due to love pollen, and wins him back with the help of fairy magic. Although the plot seems simple, it has multiple elements that it takes from the play and amplifies it so it can sit on the big screen. Therefore, the movie is a good adaptation because it portrays the characters well, conveys the costumes accurately, and makes the play understandable. First of all, “Dream” portrays the characters very well. In the play, Helena is portrayed as an obsessive, ostentatious, and shameless individual.…

    The mise-en-scene of the movie is very realistic and authentic. The color palette between the white and black is really distinct to the eyes, it has a very particular stylistic difference. The acting used in the film seems to be method acting and in the particular situation method acting was a very good choice of the direction since it is a very historical film and also brought to life by some British actors. The musical choices of the movies are also very distinct and give another face to the film.…

    “Gone with the wind” and the American Civil War are a movie and a historical event which complements each other effectively. I was expecting a great analysis, however as I was reading through the paragraph composition, I found was quite confused in the flow of his paragraph. The sentences seemed fragmented and were not complete. For example, “Rhett now in jail with his foreign bank accounts all blocked, her attempt to get his money has been in vain.” This does not constitute a proper sentence; it is if two simple sentences has been brought together by a comma and the words are in the wrong order, disrupting the flow.…

    Most readers and analysists of Art Spiegelman’s Maus tend to become so focused on the grim nature of the comic’s subject matter that they overlook the possibility that there exists aspects beyond guilt and trauma that influence its narrative. Likewise, the most commonly overlooked of these aspects, and also possibly one of the most controversial, is humor. Throughout the centuries, individuals have employed humour, whether it be in the form of satire, irony, or understatement, to help them cope with trauma. Likewise, it comes as no surprise that, in detailing his father’s horrific experiences as a Jew in Nazi occupied Poland through a comic where Jews are represented as mice, Poles as pigs, and Germans as cats, Spiegelman employs humor. Moreover,…

    The film I chose to do for this film review assignment was Longtime Companion. The movie premiered in 1989 and during that time our society was just beginning to understand that AIDS was a disease and research was being done on how to treat this disease. In the early 1980’s and up until the release of the film, those that had been diagnosed with AIDS had a very poor prognosis for survival. Also when the movie was released, society was beginning to realize that AIDS not only affected the gay community, but every member of our society. Today we now understand that AIDS does not discriminate and that this disease effects our entire society.…

    The movie was created by the Department of the Interior, War Relocation Authority, to show the lifestyles of the Japanese-Americans that were relocated during WW2. The immigration status of most of the people placed in relocations camps were American citizens by right of birth. The U.S. Placed them in the camps to avoid military hazard as there was great danger of invasion but did not respect their status as most were Americans with Japanese ancestry and were relocated calling them the “wounded casualties of war.” Guarded by the military and kept in by a wire fence was so called “symbols of the military nature of evacuation.” Learning trades was a credible claim as this helped the evacuees make it easy to get better jobs outside the relocation center.…
