  • Isabella Gardner Museum Heist: A Clever Ruse

    1195 Words  | 3 Pages

    That is just what happened on that night of March 18th, 1990 when the thieves took off with 13 pieces of what seemed to be random art selections out of a vast collection of 2,500 pieces (some way more valuable than what was taken.) Anne, completely understanding the last wishes of a stubborn and controlling woman, saw this as a way to make the museum unique, thus generating business. The museum now has empty frames and blank table tops where the 13 pieces used to be and THIS is why people come to the Gardner Museum, THIS is why the museum has stayed in the limelight for the past 25 years. Did Anne know that it was important to not have the pieces come back? Yes, because if the pieces came back the museum would start heading down the same dismal path it was on before the heist. Did Anne know a good hiding place within the museum? It is quite possible, as she had six months to check out the inner workings of a museum that no one was watching. One thing is for sure the FBI never searched the museum thoroughly for the missing artwork. But then again, the FBI was in on the master

    552 Words  | 2 Pages

    Motion Pictures have always had a strong influence in today’s culture, but maybe none as prevalent as Star Wars. Originating with Episode 4 A New Hope, the series boomed from 1977 to 2005 with yet another addition coming in 2015. The strongest of the series was the original trilogy episodes 4, 5, and 6, all generally released in the 1980s. As one of the strongest film francaises still today, it’s impact within the 1980s was only the tip of the iceberg. Children and adults alike still anticipate the new edition of this seemingly endless journey.

  • Kwame Anthony Appiah's Whose Culture Is It Anyway?

    905 Words  | 2 Pages

    In “Whose Culture Is It, Anyway? ”, Kwame Anthony Appiah begins by pointing out that some of the museums of the world, particularly in the West, have large collections of artefacts and objects which were robbed from developing and poor countries. He then raises a question: who owns these cultural patrimony and properties? Our first answer may be that since they make up the cultural heritage of a people, they belong to the people and culture from whom they were taken. Appiah has doubt about this and argues that if some cultural artefacts are potentially valuable to all human beings, they should belong to all of humanity. He thinks that when they make contribution to world culture, they should be protected by being made available to those who would benefit from experiencing them and put into trusteeship of humanity.

  • Star Wars: The Iconic Galaxy

    Long ago, in a galaxy far, far away, there lived a princess. Her name was Princess Leia. Growing up, she didn’t realize that one day, she and her twin brother would be travelling through space, fighting the dark side, fighting their father. This is Star Wars, the epic battle between good and evil. This is a very iconic movie series, one of the best sci-fi there is! Although, that is my opinion, I have a feeling many people would agree with me. As we take a look inside the film series, you’ll see a picture of what might be out there, and we have George Lucas to thank for that!

  • A Comparison Of The Star Wars Prequels

    1142 Words  | 3 Pages

    The third and final prequel to George Lucas's Star Wars trilogy Revenge of the Sith is the midpoint of the Star Wars saga. It is the climax of the Star Wars prequels and leads magnificently and flawlessly into the completion of the original trilogy. The original trilogy led up to a happy ending complete with fireworks and scenes of different planets celebrating. The prequels tell a similar hero's journey, but instead of an affirming story about believing in oneself, it is a dire warning about the dangers of arrogance and greed. We are reminded of human valves fear, hatred, greed, pride and "a failure to listen" which lead to the Dark Side. Compassion, love, and non-violence are the real way to peace and justice. I believe this form of storytelling captures the audience which makes the story memorable to the fans and in my opinion this was a successful combination. The following paragraphs will approach the narrative, similarities by comparing the original trilogy with the new trilogy and analysing the key elements of mise en scene used in particular scenes in the film. By doing this, I will discover how the position, colour and framing expresses the message George Lucas wants the viewers to absorb and remember.
