Eternal Sunshine on the Spotless Mind While watching the scene of Joel getting his memory wiped clean of clementine in “Eternal Sunshine on the Spotless Mind” you see a few different strange occurrences happen. This leads me to believe Joel is in REM sleep during his procedure. I have come this conclusion because our book states dreams during REM are “often emotional, usually story like, and richly hallucinatory” (Myers and Dewall, 11: 103). Throughout Joel’s procedure you see he experiences all three of those dreams. An example of Joel having an emotional dream would be when he cries out for the people working on him just to keep this one last memory. Also Joel is emotional while frantically trying to escape memory lose by running with Clementine.

    “Inglourious Basterds” is a Quentin Tarantino film that is set during Germany’s occupation on France, WWII. As Jim Emerson says the movie is not about the war particularly, it is more of a setting for the plot. And considering the ending of the film, we could safely say that it’s also not historically accurate. That rules out World War II as a key theme in the film.

    Life In Afghanistan In the books A Thousand Splendid Suns and The Kite Runner, written by Khaled Hosseini, there are similarities and differences; there are similarities because they show key themes and differences because they show different perspectives throughout the books.

    Women’s rights have diminished in the society of Taliban authority; they are banned from laughing and talking or shaking hands with men who they are not related to, and most importantly to study in schools or any other educational institutions. In his novel, Khaled Hosseni informs the lives of Mariam and Laila, presenting the tragic reality of women in Afghanistan. Their story portrays the major issue of the abuse towards women. The men in Hosseni’s novel portray the extremes of the roles of men in Afghanistan. Rasheed and Babi are complete opposites on the subject of the equality of women. Rasheed believes women should be in a man’s control, while Babi believes that women should be able to make their own choices, get an education and be of the same standard as men.

  • Analysis of A Clockwork Orange

    A Clockwork Orange, by Anthony Burgess, is one of the most experimental, original, and controversial novels of the twentieth century. It is both a compelling work of literature and an in-depth study in linguistics. The novel is a satirical, frightening science fiction piece, not unlike others of this century such as George Orwell's Nineteen Eighty-Four or Aldous Huxley's Brave New World. However, the conflicts and resolutions in A Clockwork Orange are more philosophical than social, and its message is far more urgent.

  • 100 Years of Solitude Analysis

    1633 Words  | 4 Pages

    Gabriel Garcia Marquez is an author well known for his use of magical realism. Magic realism is incorporating magical elements in realistic settings or scenarios in a text. In One Hundred Years of Solitude, I believe magic realism serves to drive the themes and messages towards the intended audience. Given the context of the magic realism, and how it is used is effective in Latin countries and essentially changes how the reader perceives or interprets the story. Gabriel Garcia Marquez by using magic realism creates a story where the reader can essentially easily perceive the reality he has made, to figure out the social commentary he has on the role of imperialism and war on a country in correlation to fate.

  • Analysis Of The Mind Game Film

    1560 Words  | 4 Pages

    When analysing the narrative structure of a film in order to determine how it may serve to articulate a discourse in the relationship between reality and fantasy it can be extremely useful to consider the aspects of the narrative which may make it “complex.” “Complex” narratives often explore ontological issues and epistemology as key story themes, taking from the other title of this type of narrative the “mind-game” film. Whilst this name refers to how these films use their narrative in order to play with the viewer’s perceptions of the film they are watching, many of these mind game films take this idea further, also making the story of the narrative about the mind by considering how the ideas of fantasy and reality may be affected by how

  • Of Two Minds Movie Analysis

    806 Words  | 2 Pages

    The film, Of Two Minds, is based on real life accounts of individuals living with bipolar disorder. Before watching this film, I had an idea of what bipolar disorder is , but after viewing this film I was completely mistaken. Previously, I thought being bipolar was going from a “normal” mood to an angry or sad mood in a matter of seconds and could be simply fixed by taking medicine. But my previous thoughts were completely wrong and bipolar disorder is very serious and complicated. I didn’t know the severity of this disease and I think a lot of the general public is uneducated about bipolar disorder as well as mental illness. Terri Cheney describes having bipolar disorder as, “Take the best day you ever had and multiply it by a million, it 's like a flu but one hundred times worse. It 's having flu in your mind."

    The novel starts off with an intersting hook: “Mariam was five years old the first time she heard the word harami” (Hosseini 3). The word harami was later then translated as “bastard” after the author of the novel, Khaled Hosseini, left his audience with a little cliffhanger. From the very first page, the theme of shame envelops Mariam’s story. Throughout the novel, the very word “harami” will be used as a weapon, accusation, or simply a placeholder for the fact that Mariam occupies the lowest rung on the social laddar in Afghanistan. As the novel continues on in third person narrative, it was known that Mariam being the illegitimate child of her father Jalil, a successful wealthy man in the city of Herat, was sent to live in the one room “kolba”

  • How Does A Clockwork Orange Relate To Sociology

    1426 Words  | 3 Pages

    Are we human if we don’t have a choice to choose between acting good or acting evil? A Clockwork Orange directed by Stanley Kubrick is a brutal film that entails many sociological meanings. Alex DeLarge and his “droogs” (gang) live in a derange society of “ultra-violence” and rape. Alex and his gang cause havoc around the town that leads to the “droogs” turning on Alex during a mischievous act on an innocent women and Alex getting arrested. While in prison he is chosen for “treatment” that is suppose to purify Alex and turn him into the “perfect citizen”. We’ve gone over many sociological concepts in class, but the three that I believe apply the most to this film are socialization, deviance, and resocialization.
