Peter Weir Movie Analysis
In 1998 Peter Weir released, The Truman Show, an ingenious movie that urged viewers to reflect on ethics related to modern day television programmes and the media. His latest movie, released in 2003, Master and Commander was a gentleman's action movie. Although the latter was much more entertaining, it is a movie that corresponds meticulously to Hollywood formulas. The Truman show is a movie that doesn't relate to Hollywood formulas but does the complete opposite.

Malcolm X Novel Vs. Movie
In my opinion, Alex Haley's novel and Spike Lee's interpretation were both good representations of Malcolm X's life and ideals. Both were very detailed and entertaining in their depiction. Alex Haley's portrayal of Malcolm X's life as told by Malcolm, shares the same perception as the movie, but what Alex provides in the book many of Malcolm's various interactions with "white folks", and each interaction Malcolm gained something from it, some positive while others negative.

The Outsider
The Outsider We, as a population, are a rather cliquey group of people. Being part of the group is essential to our social and, in some cases, economical survival. This leaves little room for someone to experiment and to be truly themselves, without fear of being criticized. However, there are a few brave souls whom do not care what others may say to them. These are typically the outsiders in my limited opinion of the

Is Banning Books Wrong?
Let's deal with language first. Personally I despise the term "bad language". Language is the protocol we use to communicate. Possibly language could be called bad if it was used in the wrong context or was ineffectual in communicating an idea to another person or persons, but this is not what people mean when they say bad language. They mean swearing. But why is swearing bad? Maybe it's blasphemous, but surely people have freedom of

There are both many similarities and differences when comparing and contrasting Shakespeare's play Hamlet versus Franco Zefferelli's film version.

Do Changes Come From Inside Or Outside?
Although people are afraid of the unknown, they are bound to change sometime in life. Although outside pressure can change people's behaviors, motivations for changes come from inside. Although outside pressure may modify one's behavior, it cannot change one's nature. For example, in Shakespeare's the Tempest, the island's native Caliban attempts to rape Prospero's daughter, Miranda., Since then, Caliban has been enslaved by Prospero; Caliban is forced to perform all the hard labor, and when

Also the movie was good at illustrating the action of the play while still having a very dramatic ending. This movie was about a girl and a boy who fall in love but are of different sides
