The Climax of Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom Steven Spielberg directed "Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom" in 1984. It is an action/adventure movie and is set in the year 1935. The main character that plays a big part in the movie is Indiana Jones (played by Harrison Ford) who is an archaeologist with a difference. Indiana's sidekicks through out the film are Willie Scott (played by Kate Capshaw) who is a glamorous dancer in a nightclub and Short Round (played by Ke Huy Quan) who is an adopted partner of Indiana's. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Willie gets caught up in Indiana's mishaps and charms when he gets into trouble in a nightclub she is dancing at. They escape with the help of Short Round, Indiana's "sidekick" but end up on a plane to India. There, they find a dead, lifeless village with few inhabitants. They say they have had a "life stone" stolen from them along with their children. Indiana, being the kind-hearted hero he is, takes on the challenge to get them their possessions back. Indiana, along with his two accomplices, travels to the city where the young Maharajah of India lives; they stay the night. During their stay Indiana is attacked and discovers a secret passage from their room to an underground cave, which is populated by what seems like a weird cult. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- The Priest of Khali (the bad guy) enters while the three heroes watch from a ledge. He makes a sacrifice to Khali by removing a helpless man's heart then burning him alive in a pit of fire. Indiana spots the stones near the priest and tr... ... middle of paper ... ...dge. Clever camera shots are used here to show Indiana's vulnerability with extreme long shots of the entire bridge. Indiana, looking for a way to escape, cuts the rope holding the bridge and it collapses into the gorge below filled with crocodiles. At this point the familiar soundtrack cuts in and we know Indiana is all right again just because of the music. That is a very powerful tool that the filmmakers use well. The priest is thrown to the crocodiles and Indiana is reunited with Willie and Short Round once again. They go back to the village and return the most wanted life stone and all ends happily. So, in conclusion the soundtrack, dialogue, setting, lighting, tension, humour, action, camera shots and the characters themselves help combine to make the ending of Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom exciting.
In basketball, the National Championship game is the dream of every kid that plays basketball in college. NC State’s basketball team wasn’t well known in 1983. Jim Valvano was the coach and he knew he had a great group of kids. When they won the ACC tournament against the great Ralph Sampson and Virginia, people thought that the win was just luck and they probably wouldn’t make last when they got into the tournament. Throughout the tournament, NC State kept surviving and advancing. In Johnathan Hock’s documentary “Survive and Advance”, Hock uses stock footage of the games that were played during the tournament, different points of view from the players, and the sequence of the documentary to prove that NC State’s basketball team were the underdogs during the whole tournament; however they were able to win despite their adversity

Each of my four selected texts relate to the general theme of survival. I have found several important connections relating to this theme. I studied the films Book of Eli – Directed by Allan & Albert Hughe, I Am Legend – Directed by Francis Lawrence, The Road – Directed by John Hillcoat and Children of Men – Directed by Alfronso Cuarón. I have found the following connections that these texts explore and portray to the audience. Firstly, I have found connections relating to how the will to survive encourages morally wrong/unethical actions in social groups in post-apolitical societies. Showing the nessary action of sacrfice is essintial . Further connections show how Post apolitical environments can cause us as humans to sacrifice ourselves for the future of society. Rasing the question of what are we willing to do to survie.
For too long, women has been deprived equal rights as men. Even though women played a vital role in the building of this nation, they are deprived the rights of first class citizenship. Especially in the late 1800s and early 1900s, women were instrumental in upholding a traditional family values, they helped in the industrial age, they took care of war victims during the First World War, women worked overtime in the weapon factory to make sure the American military had a steady supply during the War and many more participation to ensure a smooth and enjoyable society is achieved. But men took their role for granted and refused to acknowledge their full importance and the amendment of the constitution to give them the rights to earn equal
Classic stories remain a classic because they convey a message which appeals to people of multiple generations despite changes in society. King Kong was released in print in 1932, a year prior to its release in Hollywood, as a part of the film’s advance marketing. The public of this generation easily accepted the story’s racist, colonialist, and sexist themes. Today, literary critics such as Cynthia Erb view the novel and film as representation of the early 30s and thus a resource to understand the cultural context of the times. In particular, King Kong provides a window through which a modern audience can understand and interpret racism of the 1930s.

In Plato’s Republic, Socrates argues that for the perfectly just city to be realized in practice, philosopher must become kings and kings must become philosophers.

Finally the questions of whether what a person knows make him or her better person? Does it qualify him or her to rule? Will get answered.
“Issues have to do with matters that transcend these local environments of the individual and the range of his inner life.” (Mills 5). The sociological perspective is a way of looking at human behaviors that links individuals to the society as a whole. C. Wright Mills wrote an essay on the subject of the social perspective called “The Promise.” In his essay, he described the sociological perspective as having four main components: traps, morals that are challenged, public issues, and the whole picture. These four aspects cover a range of influences for human behavior and can be observed in everyday life. These can also be observed in movies. In fact, sometimes it is easier to observe these conditions in movies because the plot is usually exaggerated
“There's kind of a Zen aspect to bowling. The pins are either staying up or down before you even throw your arm back. It's kind of a mind-set. You want to be in this perfect mind-set before you released the ball.” Jeff Bridges describes bowling to be black or white; one pin can not both be up and down. However, the character whom Jeff Bridges portrays in the classic bowling noir film The Big Lebowski, the Dude, is far from black and white. Once he was an ex-social justice warrior protesting the Vietnam war, now he is hanging out with a disgruntled Vietnam vet. With a joint in his mouth and a White Russian in his hand, the Dude goes through life without a care, only waiting for his turn to bowl. Throughout the movie, the Dude is dragged into a series of unfortunate events, none of which are his idea. What originally started off with nothing more than a piss-stained carpet spawned into a faux kidnapping and the death of the Dude’s beloved friend, Donny. The plot,
There are many similarities between the movie Clash of the Titans and the original Greek myth but there are also many differences. In the movie Clash of the Titans, Perseus goes on an adventure to retrieve Medusa’s head to kill the Kraken in order to kill Hades.

Another thing that was special to me about this movie is the fact that it stays in its common setting through the whole movie. It never leaves the lake. Also how there were lessons being taught through out. One that I really found special was when the boy was a child and he tied stones to 3 different animals, cause it was his idea of having fun and the wise old monk told him to go find each animal and free them and if any of the animals were de...
