A mentally deranged Paul Dano falls in love with the farting corpse of Daniel Radcliffe. Does that sound like a compelling idea for a story? Daniel Kwan and Daniel Scheinert, who go by the moniker “The Daniels”, take this concept and run with it in their 2016 film, Swiss Army Man. The film follows the adventure of Hank (Dano), a depressed and suicidal castaway, after he stumbles upon a corpse that washes up on the island he is stranded on. Hank discovers that the corpse (Radcliffe), whom he begins

In July 1734 there was an account of an encounter by Hans egede, a Dano- Norwegian missionary. Hans had reported that on a trip to Gothaab/Nuuk on the western coast of Greenland he saw and described the monster as: a terrible creature, which didn’t resemble anything they had seen before. The
According to Gumperz, code switching is defined as “the juxtaposition within the same speech exchange of passages of speech belonging to two different grammatical systems or subsystems.” Many people believe that most code switching occurs at random or without pragmatic significance (Poplack, 1985), while others believe that every case of code switching has some significance to it (McConvell, 1988). Gumperz is somewhere in the middle, saying that “just because code-switching conveys information, does
12 Years a Slave is the most powerful and moving American slavery movie of all time. Although it’s a big statement, it is an accurate one. The film leaves you feeling as though you have just experienced slavery. The historical and biographical film tells the story of Solomon Northup who was kidnapped, sold into slavery and put to work for 12 years before his release. This film is gory and horrific but really tells the story of the past. This film will exceed any expectations. Michael Apted’s Amazing
Interesting Ball shows that a simple item can cause a lot of commotion. The phrase, “How’d this get so fucked up so quick,” that is spouted out halfway through Interesting Ball is something that viewers of the short film will be saying almost immediately as the film starts, but that isn’t necessarily a bad thing. This short film, brought to us by recently acclaimed directing duo otherwise known as DANIELS (Daniel Kwan and Daniel Scheinert), is worth the watch and the thought afterwards. Both comedic
this 2007 film, directed and written by Paul Thomas Anderson, tells the story of a greedy and brutal oilman by the name of Daniel Plainview (portrayed by Daniel Day-Lewis) and his battle against the “Third Revelation”, Eli Sunday (portrayed by Paul Dano). From the clothing, the lack of roles provided for women, to no African Americans being in the film, this drama is set mostly in the time period of 1911 in California, but flips to 1927 when Daniel gets his revenge. Before we get into that,

The Little Miss Sunshine directed by Jonathan Dayton and Valerie Faris, released July 26, 2006. The Little Miss Sunshine starts off with a little girl named Olive watching the Miss America beauty pageants, hoping to be her up there on the stage one day. In the the movie the family is from the beautiful Albuquerque, New Mexico. One might say why would they pick Albuquerque New Mexico to be the city they are from out of all cities the directors could pick from. And by the end of this movie one would
performance as Old Joe, being both merciless and passionate in his actions (not to mention being a beast). Emily Blunt gives perhaps the most layered performance as Sara, conveying sexual longing, anger, frustration, fear, motherly love, and resolve. Paul Dano as Seth and Jeff Daniels as Abe both make their relatively small roles memorable with their dedicated performances. Perhaps the most memorable performance of Looper, however, comes from Pierce Gagnon as Cid, the creepiest five year old ever. Gagnon
Baldick (2008) defines that hamartia is a Greek word for “error” or “failure,” used by Aristotle in his Poetics (4th century BCE) to designate the false step that leads the protagonist in a tragedy to his or her downfall. The term has often been translated as ‘tragic flaw,’ but this misleadingly confines the cause of the reversal of fortunes to some personal defect of character, whereas Aristotle’s emphasis was rather upon the protagonist’s action, which could be brought about by misjudgement, ignorance

La carta de Pedro de Valdivia a Hernando Pizarro es una descripción, posterior a sutil reproche que le hace por no haberle escrito desde hace ya un año y medio, de cómo fue enviado a conquistar nuevas tierras en nombre de la corona, tiene un poco de egocentrismo, puesto que en casi toda las carta, describe aspectos propios, del cómo, por qué y bajo qué circunstancias fue designado con la misión de conquistar y colonizar las tierras que Almagro, en una expedición anterior, llamo Chile y de cómo a
