W.D. Ross’ Ideas of How We Should Act Part I William David Ross was a Scottish philosopher, born in the late 1800s. He studied at the University of Edinburgh, and then at Balliol College in Oxford, England. Ross held some different views from other philosophers in that he was a moral realist. He thought that there were moral truths in the world, just as black and white as mathematics.

In the silent film Broken Blossoms, the lighting, setting, and color change drastically. D.W. Griffith manipulates the mise-en-scene, altering the lighting, setting, and color change drastically not only connecting scenes but also to creating clear separations. The film breaks Cheng Huan’s first encounter with Lucy Burrows into three different colored segments: yellow, blue, and purple.

Women in early cinema illustrated the culture they lived in during the time-period where men expressed their dominance over women. Film helped bring to the forefront these power dynamics through the use of cinematography and mise en scene.
