Ingrid Bergman

According to Renov, Notorious is mostly focused on the men’s gaze, with which the viewer is led to identify with both Devlin and Alex, associated with two different female images: the devote partner and the traitor (1980). Modleski (1977) and Wood, on the contrary, believe that the viewer identifies with Alicia. Wood states that the male system in Notorious is not enough because the viewer is actually able to identify with Devlin. According to him, the subjectivity is the main tool with which the spectator can identify with a particular character and Alicia appears without Devlin in more sequences than him without her (1989). Notorious, in this sense, altered Hitchcockian conventions about women who need to be saved by a heroic male. Ingrid Bergman is a brunette, sexually experienced (the reason of the title), a drunk. She still needs to be saved at the end, but just because she put herself in a danger situation, by accepting the task in a first place. The director of the Production Code, Joseph I. Breen, thinks that Alicia is “grossly immoral” and “superficially” a prostitute (cited in Deep Focus Review, 2007), but if we read her character in a Freudian way, we might actually attribute her behavior due to her feelings toward her Nazi father. In fact, she says, “When he told me a few years ago what he was, everything went to pot. I didn’t care what happened to me” (Notorious, 1946). She loves her father but, at the same time, she despises him, so she is torn between the…

we will not have any left on the planet to cherish. “In England, France, Germany, the United States, and many other nations, anticruelty laws go well beyond prohibiting beating, injuring, and the like, and impose affirmative duties on people with animals in their care” (Nussbaum 6). The Animal Welfare Act of 1966 was passed to regulate animal abuse (Wagner). There are also many organizations that try to help limit animal abuse and mistreatment. Some organizations such as American Society for the…

and ways people can help animals suffering all alone. With all their information about the behind the scene with animal cruelty they have gained more supporters for their charitable organization. To stop people from eating, wearing, experimenting on, using for entertainment, or abusing animals PETA works through public education to inform new people about the conditions animals have to live in. They also work through cruelty investigations, research, animal rescue, celebrity involvement, and…

The Seventh Sleep In 1957, ancient times, an era with limited technology, “historical” days, a movie was created, “The Seventh Seal” by Ingram Bergman, is a example of how different our present mindset has changed from the dreadful era of the 50’s. I’ve always wanted to experience a classic film experience in a theatre instead of searching for them online, upon searching for one I came across the showing of “The Seventh Seal”, which frankly, I wish I hadn’t. I’m pretty sure we’ve all heard of…

To fully understand the problems with PETA, one first needs to be familiar with their goals. Many know that their most basic goal is to lessen, or eliminate animal cruelty. The president herself, Ingrid Newkirk, begins her organization 's introduction with “Do you want animals to suffer? Didn’t think so”. Well, of course not. No one would want a world where animals have to needlessly suffer for our benefit. That’s why we have things like the Animal Welfare Act; According to the Animal Welfare…

In Michael Pollan’s “An Animal’s Place” Pollan provides an argument on whether or not Americans should consume animals, and specifically, if the fashion in which animals are farmed and slaughtered respects their capacity to suffer. Pollan illustrates his personal dilemma particularly when he ironically points his debate on whether or not to eat meat began while he was dining at a steakhouse. To develop his argument, Pollan initially exclusively uses the citation of animal rights activists, but…

Animal Abuse has been a problem around the world for as long as one can remember billions of defenseless animals being harmed and tortured, that has all changed when one powerful woman decided to put her foot down. Ingrid Newkirk has made a huge impact on the ethical treatment of animals as well as helped spread awareness around the world, by establishing the world’s largest animal rights activist organization PETA. Ingrid Newkirk was born in Surrey, England where she was raised for seven…

On September 8th, Pacheco took the evidence to the police. After preliminary investigations Detective, Sergeant Rick Swain and team did the first ever raid of a research facility in the U.S. During the raid Swain discovered not only the conditions the monkeys were living but also a cockroach infestation in the surgery room. Swain confiscated the monkeys and files. Taubs attorneys quickly started to demand that their clients property be returned the next day. That night the monkeys disappeared.…

Having been given a boost by the Silver Springs Monkeys case, animal rights groups now protest against testing done on animals more hotly than ever (Perdew 6-16). People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals (PETA) and the other extremists views line up with evolution. If mankind is no different than animals, then it would be wrong to test things on an animal that could potentially kill it. Extreme animal rights activists have been known to say absurd things such as: “A rat is a pig is a dog is…

It had soon gotten around that at the University of Pennsylvania Head Injury Clinic, monkeys had received head injuries during experiments used to help human accident victims that had impaired or disabled limbs. This situation eliminated federal funding from the Department of Health and Human Services due to a video that they had seen of the animals (Bloyd41). In 1990, citizens sent letters to Barbara Bush asking her to free the monkeys due to the Silver Spring Monkey case. The request was not…
