Masayuki Mori

convey the feelings of forgiveness that Miyagi had for her husband. Lady Wakasa as a plot point just didn’t fit into the otherwise non-supernatural theme of the story. Plot gets a solid 6 out of 10 for this. The other parts of the story were well connected and thought out, but the weird section of Genjurō’s “punishment” deducts four points. The actors of Ugetsu did a fantastic job at selling the despair and trouble the characters were facing. Masayuki Mori, the actor playing Genjurō, had great body language that made it easy to tell just what the character was thinking/feeling. With a lot of the shots being non-dialog driven, but action based, you need someone who can effectively relay the intentions of their character through body movement and facial expressions. When Genjurō is escaping Lady Wakasa’s mansion, Masayuki’s reaction of fear is superb as he stumbles constantly while trying to get away. Swinging a katana around widely while crawling backwards. His flailing movements felt natural and urgent, as if he was actually in danger. Masayuki also has a very sweet scene where after being away from his family for so long, embraces his son closely. Instead of just holding his son, Genjurō strokes his hair, rubs his back, and nestles his head onto the boy’s shoulder. All very intimate actions that would be expected of a father who thought he would never see his son again. It was a very endearing scene made even sweeter by Masayuki’s impeccable acting. Another actor who did a…

bags and were worn beneath the woman’s clothing to keep warm. These women spend most of the day for six months each year feeding, tending, unwinding, spinning, weaving, dyeing and embroidering silk. These women kept the secrets of sericulture for many years. Because the process of “Silk” (sericulture) was so guarded by Chinese authorities it was dominated by them for more than two thousand years. Despite this, we know that one species, out of many varieties of wild silk moths, the Bombyx…

In War Photographer and in Refugee mother and child, Duffy and Achebe both witness the deadly war in Northern Ireland, the Lebanon and Cambodia, and Biafra respectively. Duffy and Achebe sympathize with the victims of the war as people are suffering from war. They look upon the idea of anti-war, which stops any further suffering and death. Duffy is viewing the war through the eyes as a photographer while Achebe is looking through the perspective of the mother, where a mother lost a child due to…

War- glorified, deemed necessary, and plastered with the image of heroism. Medals, ceremonies, and positions give war and battle and prestigious image. But, in the book Flags of Our Fathers by James Bradley, the true inhumanities and unnecessary acts of war are shown through the characters’ first-hand accounts and perspectives on battle. The book highlights one of the most prestigious battles in American history, the battle of Iwo Jima. Most did not know what this tiny one square mile island was…

Carry On My Wayward Son The name the British gave the First World War speaks for itself; the Great War, it sounds like a title to an epic where battle is romanticized. Many men who enlisted expected the war to be great indeed, it would be quick and they would return as heroes. The reason the British men expected a great war was partly due to the fact that Britain had not been involved in a full-scale war since 1871, and ever since the idea of war had become a mythical journey, where boys became…

The horrors of conflict include events from World War One and post-apocalyptic environments, both events can be presented through the harrowing and saddening works of both Wilfred Owen and Cormac McCarthy. Both texts look at the horrors that have derived from conflict including: nature turning against humanity; the loss of civilisation; the loss of faith and the idea of morality. Steven Frye notes that the themes within The Road “deal directly with violence, human degradation, and both human and…

their own. It seems like they have to run from certain things and can’t even defend themselves. However, on TV we are being shown that Americans are winning the war, however we aren’t being shown the difficulties the soldiers are being face with. In conclusion, I believe that this is how going to war actually looks like. The poem is written by Wilfred Owen who served as lieutenant in the war. He has experienced the different situations that going to war brings to people and I believe this poem…

At the beginning of the story, Lieutenant Cross was on the battlefield of the Vietnam War with his comrades. While he was there, Cross keeps…

Zacary Calvetti November 13, 2017 6th hour The theme of this poem, would be a soldier who thinks of war as beautiful rather than it being a dreadful and sad environment. I would think that the author wrote it in a descriptive style, because he describes what has happened by using tone and imagery. In the first part of the poem, Ehrhart wrote, “What if I didn’t shoot the old lady running away from our patrol, or the old man in the back of the head, or the boy in the marketplace?” (Ehrhart). He…
