C.W., the getaway driver, botches a bank robbery by parallel parking the car, Clyde shoots the bank manager in the face after he jumps onto the slow-moving car's running board. The gang is pursued by law enforcement, including Texas Ranger Frank Hamer, who is captured and humiliated by the outlaws, then set free. They all were lucky enough to escape from the police. The movie Bonnie and Clyde is different than The Great Train Robbery, because the cameras were in a dolly, meaning that the camera was not stable in one shot. Also because color was added to the film as well as sound. In The Great Train Robbery, there was no dolly, no sound, and there was the production code in place which limited them to do certain scenes. Another element to this …show more content…
Not to mention, in 1954,Lew Wasserman, convinced Steward (rear window producer) to try something to make more money. He also instructed not to take up front money, instead he suggested that if the movie turns into a hit they will receive more money from the profit of people watching the movie. As a result, Actors gained power and popularity and also the directors. In this movie, Arthur Penn ( the producer) brought comic moments as well as shocking brutality. He was interested in mythmaking; which is a way to explain events that happen in the world. Bonnie and Clyde did not acted their crimes as in the Movie The Great Train Robbery., where the ‘Hold Ups' made famous by various outlaw bands in the far West. The robbers would wait for the train to hit and wrap people in order to take the money, in a way it was planned, but with less …show more content…
robbed when it was necessary, they both became famous in the newspapers because no police or authorities could capture them, their trick was to move from one place to the other, staying at different hotels or abandoned houses. As per the movie lines, “They were the strangest damned gang you ever heard of. They’re young, they‘re in love, they rob banks”. They were forced to scape from one state to the other in order to evade charges and persecution. During the 1930’s people hated banks and businesses because of their economic loss due to the great depression. This movie allowed people to make imaginary fantasies in order to fulfill their life desires that were banned. Bonnie and Clyde is one of few films that came out during this New Hollywood era which had started to incorporate violence, promiscuity, disillusionment, and ideas of going against social norms. Technological advances during the time also exposed filmmakers to use new cameras such as the hand held cameras and zoom lenses. Some prints were also hand colored in certain scenes to bring the characters seen as alive and in motion to the viewer. Many studios also faced financial troubles during this time due to high production costs. The idea of filming people in their natural settings without having to be staged and the loose style of editing were on the rise. Both of the movies captured the attention of the American
The Great Tuna Boat Chase and Massacre Case has Ecuador claiming that the United States is in violation of its 200-mile territorial sea. From it’s inception, Ecuador had accepted the customary three mile limit as the demarcation of its territorial waters. However, after 130 years, Juan Valdez achieved power in 1952. Under his regime, he proclaimed that the three mile boundary was never meant to be considered a fixed and unalterable boundary, and that historical practices as well as the natural features of the area justified a 200-mile territorial sea. Each Ecuadorian president since Valdez claimed this as well.
Born in Erie County, Pennsylvania, the muckraker Ida Tarbell took down Standard Oil, one of the first and largest international companies and basically all monopolistic companies along with it. Before Tarbell took down Standard Oil, Tarbell had to go through many hardships because there were not many available positions for her. One of her jobs paid only 500 dollars a year (Thompson) and her father, Frank Tarbell, was once in the oil business but was beaten down by Standard Oil. Later on, Tarbell wrote articles and managed to gain the attention of S.S. McClure, the owner of McClure’s Magazine which was a popular magazine of the time. Tarbell later managed to join the magazine and she made it famous. One of her works included The History of
Rear Window directed by Alfred Hitchcock was an exceptional movie with a jaw- dropping 8.6 rating on IMDb’s website. The movie is about L. B. Jefferies (protagonist), who is a well-known photographer in a wheelchair.The lack of entertainment and extreme boredom caused Jeff (Jefferies) to stare out the rear window day and night. He eyed his neighbors through this window 24/7 and revolved his wheelchair season around their personal lives. As the movie goes on Jeff feels as if Lars Thorwald (antagonist) has murdered his sick wife. He knew they were an unhappy married couple already and had some unmistakable clues. In this series of events Jeff’s girlfriend who he thought to be too perfect for him and epicene turns out be a risk-taker and brave.
Rear Window effectively demonstrates Hitchcock’s strong qualities as an author. The writer for Rear Window is not Hitchcock, and yet there are clearly many motifs and themes present which are well known for being used by Hitchcock. He is not merely following instructions on how to make the movie; he is providing his own creative adjustments. Now we will address a few of these from the film. First, drawing parallels between characters with a difference, usually a negative one, is a repeated concept in Hitchcock films.
During the Great Depression, people went to the movies to get their mind off things and to forget about things temporarily. Life was portrayed a few different ways during the Great Depression. Different genres of film gave different perspectives on what life was like. The three genres compared are comedy, gangster, and musical films. Room Service and Modern Times are two films in the comedy genre and they portrayed a worry-free lifestyle. The Public Enemy is a gangster film and it had a dangerous lifestyle. Last, but not least, is Gold Diggers of 1933 and it is a pretty happy film. These films all had one thing in common though; the characters all had problems with money, which greatly relates to the Great Depression.
Abolitionism quickly gained popularity since 1821 when William Lloyd Garrison assisted in writing an anti-slavery newspaper, The Genius of Universal Emancipation, with Benjamin Lundy. In 1831, abolitionism continued to grow in popularity when William Lloyd Garrison started The Liberator. Although there remained not a need for slaves in the North, slavery remained very big in the South for growing “cash crops.” The majority of the abolitionists who inhabited the North organized speeches, meetings, and newspapers to spread their cause. Initially, only small revolts and fights occurred. However, major events along the way led to the Harpers Ferry Raid. For example, with Kansas choosing whether or not to become a free or slave state. That became the biggest event up until John Brown’s Raid. John Brown had always despised slavery, and this enhanced his chance as an organized revolt. The effect of his raid on Harpers Ferry affected what the South thought about abolitionists and the power that they held.
Clyde Barrow and Bonnie Parker burst upon the American Southwest in the Great Depression year of 1932. At the time of Clyde’s first involvement with a murder, people paid little attention to the event. He was just another violent hoodlum in a nation with a growing list of brutal criminals, which included Al Capone, John Dillenger, Pretty Boy Floyd, and the Barker Gang. Not until Bonnie and Clyde joined forces did the public become intrigued. The phrase “Bonnie and Clyde'; took on an electrifying and exotic meaning that has abated little in the past sixty years.
“By 1930, Clyde was incarcerated in the Eastham Prison farm on a 14-year term for automobile theft and robbery. Known as the “Murder House” or “the Bloody Ham,” Eastham was notorious for its tough working and living conditions, as well as guards who would beat inmates with trace chains and perform random spot killings, all of which was substantiated by the Texas state legislatures and the Osborne Association on U.S. Prisons which ranked the Texas prison system as the most worst in the nation in 1935. During his time at Eastham, Clyde transformed from petty criminal to emotionless killer when he murdered Ed Crowder, a man who had been sexually assaulting himself since he entered the prison. Clyde’s drive in life wasn't to become a famous bank robber, as he sometimes labeled, it was to take revenge on Eastham.” (80 Years Later, Retracing the Real Life of Bonnie and Clyde) This shows Clyde’s character and the kind of experience he's had to become the criminal he was. Clyde had only killed the man and committed all the bank robberies for revenge, more than using the money for his own pleasure. Another evidence that Bonnie and Clyde were good people, was how “Bonnie had never shot anyone but herself, though injured and wounded several times by officers, during her two year run with Clyde.” This clearly shows Bonnie’s
Rebellion is a common topic in movies because it draws in audiences with its bad boys and bad attitudes. Two of the greatest rebellion movies of all time are Rebel Without a Cause, starring James Dean, and Bonnie and Clyde, starring Warren Beatty and Faye Dunaway. The opening scene in Rebel Without a Cause shows a drunken teenage boy lying in the street, giggling, while he plays with a toy. The directors of these two films show rebellion using the same elements: themes, characters, and memorable scenes.
Bang! Pow! Bullets are raining down on the infamous Bonnie and Clyde. It is a standoff with the local police department. Bonnie and Clyde are in trouble again; robbing a liquor store of their cigarettes and their liquor. It seems as if Bonnie and Clyde were the greatest pair of criminals in history.
Alfred Hitchcock’s 1954 film Rear Window is truly a masterpiece, as it uses fascinating cinematic elements to carry the story and also convey the meaning of voyeurism. Throughout the film we are in one room, yet that does not limit the story. This causes the viewer to feel trapped, similar to the main character, while also adding suspense to the detective story. The opening scene itself, draws the viewer in. In just five minutes and 27 shots, the viewer is given an introduction to the main character, his lifestyle, his condition, and his neighborhood. The lighting, the costumes, and the set are all presented in a way to catch the viewers eye, compelling them to crave more. Combining vivid lighting, edgy cinematography, and unique set design, Rear Window, proves why Hitchcock is still remembered as one of the greatest and most influential directors of all time.

Proving the Impossible is Possible Michael Crichton’s The Great Train Robbery portrayed an elusive man named Edward Pierce who conjured the impossible idea of robbing the train system of London. In the end, Crichton failed to release a motive for Pierce’s preposterous plan, allowing his readers to visualize one themselves. One may believe that Pierce’s motive was seen in his eagerness to demonstrate to London that nothing is as impossible as it seems.
Clyde was able to get out of prison and come back in as he pleased which means he was able to plant bombs and kill people while everyone thought he was in prison, but that was not the case since no one was checking on him because he was in solitary confinement. Clyde had disguises to get through the city without being spotted, but Nick found out that Clyde had bought a car garage across the street from the prison and that is where his tunnel had started and led to the solitary confinement cells and that is where he stored his explosives and his disguises. Clyde was ready to go to war with nick and he had the armory hidden under the prison to do it
