"THE ESSENTIAL MEDIUM OF ARCHITECTURE IS SPACE. A VOID TO BE FILLED WITH LIFE." (SAITOWITZ) THIS IS WHAT STANLEY SAITOWITZ HAS COME TO BELIEVE AFTER HIS 20 PLUS YEARS AS AN ARCHITECT.

Stanley v. Illinois Nature of Case: The plaintiff is Peter Stanley. He said that his rights to equal protection of the law under the 14th Amendment have been violated. He believes that the Illinois law that makes children of unwed father’s wards of the state upon death of the mother violated his rights. Facts: Joan and Peter Stanley lived intermittently together for 18 years, in which they had 3 children. When Joan Stanley died, Stanley’s children were declared wards of the state and placed
Stanley Kramer’s Inherit the Wind History is consistently used in films as a technique to teach the values and morals of events that occurred. But what’s the point in teaching history through films when they are terribly fictional? In films, the director finds the best scheme to intrigue their audience only by changing the actual event to satisfy their interest. This is true for Stanley Kramer when he made the history of John Scopes and his “monkey trial” into a film called Inherit the Wind. Kramer
The Genius of Stanley Kubrick Many movie directors have mastered a genre or two. Wes Craven and John Carpenter are two of the horror film legends. Alfred Hitchcock is probably one of the five greatest directors of all time, with thrillers being his primary claim to fame. George Lucas has been the reigning king of science fiction ever since the release of Star Wars. John Ford is arguably the premier director of westerns. In my opinion, however, Stanley Kubrick may be the person who mastered more
Stanley Kubrick's The Shining (1980) initially received quite a bit of negative criticism. The film irritated many Stephen King fans (and King himself) because it differed so greatly from the novel. The Shining also disappointed many filmgoers who expected a conventional slasher film. After all, Kubrick said it would be "the scariest horror movie of all time."1 Kubrick's films, however, never fully conform to their respective genres; they transcend generic expectations. In the same way that 2001:

Stanley Kubrick is one of the most influential and daring filmmakers to ever put his mark on the silver screen. He has created a large body of very influential works spanning several decades and many genres. Throughout his whole collection there are many elements which are repeatedly used to enhance the viewer's experience. There are also many recurring themes in Kubrick's works that are commented on both by the context in which they are brought forth and the techniques used to expound upon those
1.1 Protagonist Blanche DuBois is the younger sister of Stella Kowalski. She comes to visit Stella and her husband, Stanley at their small home in New Orleans. Blanche is described as a Southern Belle that presents a tragic flaw stemmed from her lack of self- esteem. There are many words that can be used to describe Blanche; however her most dominant traits are unstable, flirtatious, and deceitful. Blanche has a devastating and scarring past in which her tragic flaw originates from. The elements
character development; Tennessee Williams is able to apply this concept in A Streetcar Named Desire. The characters of Stanley and Blanche can be easily identified as polar opposites of each other. Blanche is a complex, sophisticated character, while Stanley can be seen as primal, simple, and sometimes animalistic. Tennessee Williams is able to use the opposition of Blanche and Stanley to build the rest of the story and characters. When looking at the character of Blanche, it can be easily seen that
Character Analysis of Stanley Kowalski From “A Street Car Named Desire” By: Tennessee Williams Stanley Kowalski the lead male character in the, 1948 Pulitzer Prize winning play by Tennessee Williams, starts out as a egalitarian. His physical vigor is expressed in his love of his work, his fighting, and sex. Williams used his own family as a model for most of his characters, a violent father, a mentally ill sister, and an invalid mother. Most of his male characters are domineering and abusive
Stanley Kubick's Spartacus In the 1960 film Spartacus, directed by Stanley Kubrick, the character called Spartacus is depicted as a revolutionary who leads an army of slaves against the oppressive forces of Rome during
The Shining is often regarded as the best horror-suspense movie of all time, no doubt in part by its direction by Stanley Kubrick. Since its release, there have been multiple call backs to the movie ranging from television horror shows such as American Horror Story and Hannibal to animated shows like The Simpsons and South Park. The infamous “Here’s Johnny” scene has appeared countless times in popular culture. Curiously, when the movie first came out in 1980, the movie was met with mixed reviews
Stanley Milgram was a social psychologist, studying various aspects of society. Milgram focused on many important social issues, one of them was obedience. Perhaps his most famous experiment, Milgram tested the extent of authoritative power and how obediences can influence a person’s action . To test his theory on obedience, Milgram had asked a subject, known as the teacher, to shock a “learner” if they fail to remember a set of phrases. The shock was increased every time the learner made an error
awareness is the first step to our liberation.” Stanley Milgram made ground breaking discoveries in the field of psychology with his many experiments on obedience and people’s ability to have an effect on the actions of others. From one of his experiments was derived “The Six Degrees of Separation,” which is still studied today in psychology classes (Biography). He would come to be known as, “the man who shocked the world,” with a single experiment. Stanley Milgram was born in New York City in 1933 (Miller

“The Perils of Obedience” was written by Stanley Milgram in 1974. In the essay he describes his experiments on obedience to authority. I feel as though this is a great psychology essay and will be used in psychology 101 classes for generations to come. The essay describes how people are willing to do almost anything that they are told no matter how immoral the action is or how much pain it may cause. This essay even though it was written in 1974 is still used today because of its historical importance
The most believable theory presented in Room 237 suggests that Stanley Kubrick, the director of The Shining, directed the movie to reflect the genocide of the American Indians. When first hearing this theory, it seems completely absurd. How can a horror movie about a homicidal maniac trying to kill his family have any correlation with the displacement, exploitation, and murder of thousands of Native Americans? Now, wait, before completely throwing this theory to the curb, there is actually some
This quote, by Stanley Milgram (1974, p. 205), exemplifies the debate that exists around the topic of obedience. Obedient behaviours have been studied in Milgram’s famous obedience experiments, and evidence of atrocities being carried out as a result of obedience can be seen in situations such as the holocaust in World War Two (Mastroianni, 2000) and more recent events such as (My Lai). This essay will explain both sides of the debate, arguing for situation and individual factors that influence people
Genre Criticism of Stanley Kubricks The Shining The true measure of success for any film lies in its ability to establish a relationship with its audience. Perhaps more than in any other genre, the horror film must be aware of this relationship and manage it carefully. After all, the purpose of a horror film is not necessarily to invoke thought, but rather to evoke an emotional reaction from its audience. Horror films of all types have used frightening images, disturbing characters, and thrilling
I am extremely indebted to both Colin Stanley's The Work of Colin Wilson and Howard F. Dossor's Colin Wilson: The Man and His Mind. This is a fairly comprehensive list of all of Colin Wilson’s major works, although those seeking an impeccably complete reference should consult with Colin Stanley’s book, and its recent supplement. I have also appended a list of his shorter fiction. Wilson has also penned literally hundreds of articles in newspapers and magazines, and he has provided introductions
