Recommended: Wolf story essays

The film Wolf, starring Jack Nicolson, Michelle Phieffer, and James Spader is one of my very favorite films. I consider it a horror/ suspense film. Which made choosing either Fargo or The King's Speech a tough decision. I chose The King's Speech. Will Randall, an editor at a publishing house in New York, is bitten by a wolf on his way back from meeting with a client in New England. From the start, the story starts to advance itself. Just as in The King's Speech, his words draw you in and keep you interested in knowing what will happen to Bertie's character. You are concerned for Will and Bertie because they are helpless. Wolf is far more creative than The King's Speech due to one being a true story. These men are very intelligent but weak, …show more content…

Bertie also transforms into a noble leader. Will and Albert are very similar. I had decided on another scene prior. The opening scene. Will is going down this road literally, just a Bertie yet metaphorically. Will comes to a crossroad, when he hits a wolf and this is an obstacle, just as Bertie's speech at the start of the film. The screenplays are well structured and the tension is introduced right away. Tension is the main fundamental. The stakes are raised scene after scene. Will is transforming because of the wolf and what lies within him. Just as Bertie is helped by Lionel, Bertie's "wolf." Will keeps getting challenged as does Bertie. The primary function for this scene in Wolf is to create tension, which I could cut with a knife in both films. This changes them both. Nothing changes them more than the first scene, tension. That have to remain calm and collective to an extent and they have a long road ahead of them. They were fine being unnoticed. Wolf is entertaining because of the creativity and theme. Whereas, The King's Speech is entertaining because of Lionel and his practices with Bertie. Fate, however, felt differently. They both became defenders and no longer bystanders, that made the change happen. The transformation makes them both more confident, smarter, tougher and more appealing to

  • Speech On 'Underdogs In The Film The Castle'

    758 Words  | 2 Pages

    As a nation, the Australian people have respected the “underdogs” in many events throughout history, an example is KERRYN McCann, the 38-year mother of two from Bulli, winning the 2006 Commonwealth Games marathon, two years before dying from cancer. Now in 2017, The Australian people have the chance to celebrate the work they have contributed to the film industry and to show the world what it means to be Australian, and with the Australian Film Festival coming up they can do that. Personally I am not of Australian nationality, but I have come to notice the importance for the Australian people to acknowledge their work in the film industry, as it gives them a chance to

    Will is an innocent, level-headed child who's only goal in the beginning of the novel is to relish in childhood. Jim, on the other hand, is impulsive, reckless and usually thinks about himself before others. For instance, when the train came bearing the carnival, Jim stole off in the middle of the night to go investigate, leaving Will behind all alone. This shows that Jim thinks he is independent enough to venture off by himself. Jim is also inquisitive and in some cases, more mature than Will, who is content with staying

    He constantly tries to defy the laws of nature. Will is not scared of anything and believes he is the greatest pilot and nothing could ever happen to him. He lacks a respect for the natural world. Will exclaims, “You know I was a bush pilot. The best. But the best have to crash. And I’ve crashed a plane, me. Three times. I need to explain this all to you. I was a young man when I crashed the first time. The world was wide open. I was scared of nothing” (Boyden, 1). Will also has complication with his inner violence. He tries to kill Marius out of fear and anger, which goes against his Native morals. Their families have hated each other for years and out of revenge he commits such an act he justifies by the violence Marius inflicts on his family. Will explains, “This wasn’t the best plan go do what I did to Marius. An act of revenge, an act of anger, and especially of fear. The cold fire of payback was the warmest that drove me to do it” (Boyden, 211). Fortunately, it is when Will runs away from Moosonee where he discovers that nature will get the better of him. During the time on the island, he becomes humble as he realizes he needs the help of others to survive. This contrasts his pride and allows Will to reconnect with the Native world once again. Evidence of this is when Will kills a moose and thanks the animal for its meat stating “meegwetch,” which can be translated to “thank you.” Animals in the Native world are highly respected and they play a significant role in the novel as they are reflected through human characters. The moose represents Will’s family and his dependency on them to survive. Will states, “Meegwetch for your life, I whispered. I am sorry for the bad kill. I was scared you’d run off and die alone far in the bush. Your death alone would be useless, and I, too, might end up starving this winter without you. Meegwatch” (Boyden, 306). Will is able to overcome his challenges of

    In the novel "Something Wicked This Way Comes" by Ray Bradbury, Will is described, characterized by his behavior, and be his shift in attitude. This is shown through "bright, clear as drop of summer rain" (Bradbury, 6). Bradbury describes him this way to show that he has a positive and uncomplicated view on life. He does this by explaining that Will was the first one to answer lightening rod salesman right away instead of waiting and examining whether or not Will and Jim should talk to him. His behavior is characterized through "Will? Know what you are? A darn old dimwit Episcopal Baptist!" (29). This characterizes his behavior as always being the one who follows Jim and acts like Jim's conscience to keep him out of trouble. Bradbury does

  • Erikson's Psychosocial Development In The Movie: Good Will Hunting

    920 Words  | 2 Pages

    (Erikson, 1980) Erikson’s psychosocial stages of development theory are in my opinion one of the best ways to look at Will Hunting’s changing personality and behaviour in the movie. Will’s avoidant and defensive personality is due to his abusive foster parents, he never received sympathy from his foster parents which made him accept the abuse as well as him becoming the abuser, as we see in the film when Will fights a former classmate that bullied him in kindergarten years ago. Another example of abuse is in the form of psychological abuse towards the marriage of Macguire and his deceased wife in which Will continually insults. Will seems to fluctuate stages throughout the movie, due to being an orphan and abuse from his foster parents he is fluctuating between the stages of basic trust vs. mistrust, and Initiative vs. guilt. Then when he meets Skylar (Minnie Driver) his development shifts to intimacy vs. isolation. (Erikson,

    Good Will Hunting is the graceful tale of a young gentleman’s struggle to find out where he belongs in the world, by first finding out who he himself is.

With the assistance of a psychologist, played by Robin Williams, Will learns about himself and recognizes his individual worth in the world by comprehending what is most important to him in his own life. This motion picture serves as a source of superb example for film technique. Gus Van Sant’s directing ability joined with the writing skills of Matt Damon and Ben Affleck, who also plays Will’s best buddy, Chuckie, is a vibrant mixture of technical features used to induce sentiment and compassion amongst the viewers of this heart-warming film. Characteristics of the color, angles, shots, camera movement, editing, and distortions are all each particularly noteworthy to the general composition of Van Sant’s Good Will Hunting.

  • Tim Burton Character Analysis

    Initially, as the movie begins Tim Burton introduces Will to us at a fairly young age. Even at this young age Will's character is fully developed as someone who is not very interested in his father's tall tales. This is seen in the film when Edward is telling his story about the Fish during the campfire scene. “Now I’ve tried everything on me.” This is stated by Edward telling his story of how he caught the Fish. Within this mise-en-scene we are shown various types of camera shots and movements, along with diegetic sounds and lighting effects. The opening of this scene is a long shot, along with a pan which informs us of the setting. An over the shoulder shot is then used to show that Edward is telling this tale to all of the kids at the
