During the Vietnam war, soldiers were not exposed to the traditional coping mechanisms of our American society, as illustrated in Tim Obrien's The Things They Carried.

criminals-for-hire business seeing as he died by gunshot in the end. However the operation costed Orange his life, or presumably so. That’s something I’ll get to later. The characters are initially what drew me to the film, particularly Mr. Orange (Tim Roth) and Mr. White (Harvey Keitel) and their relationship. White is something of a Big Brother Mentor to Orange, as Orange is brought into Joe’s operation under the guise of being new and kind of inexperienced as a consulting criminal and Freddy naturally
Analysis of Sweeney Todd Sweeney Todd: The Demon Barber on Fleet Street is a 2007 musical horror drama film directed by Tim Burton. I believe this film is the only musical Burton ever directed. Sweeney Todd is a dark film that explores the idea that evil is inextricably connected with the human condition. When the story begins, it is clear that the past overshadows the present in such a way that the characters live in permanent darkness. In a grim analogy with the victims consumed in Mrs. Lovett’s
