Scene Analysis of Raiders of the Lost Ark Directed by Steven Spielberg One of the most important scenes in "Raiders of the Lost Ark" directed by Steven Spielberg is 'Scene 13, Meeting with Belloq'. This scene takes place when Jones is mourning for Marion Ravenwood who he believes is dead. Belloq invites Jones to go inside and talk with him. This scene is important because it shows an attitude of Belloq towards Jones that is not shown through the Rest of the film. It gives the viewer a sense that Belloq and Jones are very similar, In skill level in skill level in archaeology and that it is both their religion/life. It is not the act, which is good or evil, but the intentions of the person that does the act that determines whether the act is perceived as good or evil. This is shown in the meeting with Belloq scene, because Belloq places himself on the darker side saying. "I am a shadowy reflection of you" in saying, this Belloq also means his intentions are darker. Belloq and Jones both carry out the same actions, taking archaeological treasures from their place of origin, but Jones intentions are self-less as he taking these treasures for the college and museum on the other hand Belloq's intentions are much blacker because his intentions are for his own personal gain. This scene takes place in a crowded café in Cairo, Egypt. Jones is attempting to drown his sorrow in alcohol because he is sad because he thinks that Marion has been killed when the truck that she was in exploded. Belloq invites Jones to inside and talk with him. As conversation aggresses because Jones will not accept that he is similar to Belloq, Jones takes out his gun but just then everyone in the café reveals that they have weapons as well and that this was a trap orchestrated by Belloq. Then many children run in and surround Jones walking him outside to safety. "It will take more than children to save you next time" says Belloq.
There are many different points of view about human behaviors. Through specific characters mentioned in Fahrenheit 451, “A Very Old Man Enormous Wings”, and “The Lottery”, individual attitudes are exaggerated to the point that their evil motivations behind their behaviors are obvious. Everyday humans attempt to attach the connotation of good to humanity, but it’s just because humans want to look past the fact that we are realistically not good. It is very difficult for us to reflect on our own behaviors. Even though people try to avoid admitting it, we always try to be the best in whatever we do. We naturally make our own survivals the best we can make it. Harming others knowingly and enjoying it is a hallmark of being evil. Good is not only
While the individual has the ability to do good, they also have the ability to do wrong. Atticus points
Film music has changed since the 1933 original King Kong film, produced by Dino De Laurentiis. Both versions of King Kong are products of their ages. The original film is from the Golden Age era where sound film just began. As many film makers wrestled with the basics of sound films, the technique enhanced into a much more live affect. In the latest King Kong film, which was released in 2005, and produced by Peter Jackson, sound film was much more advanced when it came to the special affects. As I watched each film, I noticed how much has changed in the style, music and sound. Also film making has come a long way and developed into something more inevitable for audiences to watch and enjoy.
Evil is never a direct intention, but a byproduct of a search for something greater. The intent of an action illustrates the true nature of a person, no matter the end result. True hypocrisy is shown in a modern society when an end result is mistaken for the intent of an action. In Frankenstein by Mary Shelley, both Victor Frankenstein and the monster are judged on the end result of their actions, not their intent. They both, under different circumstances, could be written as a hero or anti-hero. In Frankenstein, the reader judges Frankenstein and the monster by the result of their actions, selfishness, and perspective.
Most people want to be good and not bad, but they have the ability to be bad or how they can handle their evil side. People’s bad side can be tempting sometimes but one has the power to either hold back or give in.
What is it that makes a person evil? Is it their actions, their words, or their thoughts? Is it more acceptable if “the end justifies the means”? Telling a lie that doesn’t have a negative effect on anyone, and that saves someone grief, is considered good. So why is killing someone to save others considered bad? The morality of an action is based solely on the outcome. Thus, doing anything whatsoever that is required to get the desired result, regardless of the methods used, would be considered “ok” if the result was of a good nature. Human nature is hardwired in us through the brain. So, human nature, being good or evil, is hardwired in us as well. It is our choice whether or not to act on these thoughts of sinful nature. For Iago, he not only thinks about crude things he also acts upon those thoughts. The actions of a military warrior, executed in normal society, show the “ethical blindness” of a man with no filter of morality ().
People aim to act based on what is good to them, but what seems good to them is something
Claudia Card sees evil as “foreseeable intolerable harms produced by culpable wrong doing”, thus she builds her theory and views around this definition (Card, pg.3). She distinguishes wrongdoing and evil acts by the consequences and results of those actions, and to what extent they harmed the victim. She sees evils as actions that ruin people’s lives that achieve significant harm that causes permanent or difficult to recover from damage (Card, pg.3). However, she does make a point of differentiating evildoers from evil people, as they do not always have the purposeful intention to do the evil that they cause (Card, pg.4).
The lines that define good and evil are not written in black and white; these lines tend to blur allowing good and evil to intermingle with each another in a single human being.
Are people evil or is their behaviors that or evil? I believe that people are evil because you can control your action and how you act towards other people.
To understand evil we must first understand the concept that good and evil are term or words referring to what one given individuals believes to be the right and wrong thing to do. Good, many times symbolized as god or light, is usually associated with an action that many individual see as helping one or many people. This definitions is again very hard to define due to it bias and opinionated nature. But many and most people will agree that good, is what helps not only the common people become a stronger as a community but also become stronger as in...
Good and evil can be summed up as a difference between rational and irrational thoughts, with the former being related to “good” and the ladder to “evil”. This is a view shared by Immanuel Kant and his Categorical Imperative. In the movie Schindler’s List, we are presented with two individuals, Oskar Schindler, who by the end of the movie displays characteristics of a man following rational thoughts, doing acts that he would want to become universal maxims. On the other end of the spectrum, we have Amon Goeth. Goeth follows his irrational thoughts, using the Jewish people as a means for his own ends.
...ly or mentally, a conscious effort to injure others that is no obvious benefit to the human race is not good. I believe that people try to do good most of the time. For example, the person had a motorcycle accident. He hated by a car on the local road and stocked under the car. The car was flamed. This news is from the yesterday of FOX25. When I saw many people stopped and together to get the car off the person and being without thinking about the flames, I am so grateful. The man was saved and no life injury and the story have a good ending. Accordingly, people are innately good. I think I am actually a good person. I like to open doors, push in chairs, listen to people, and help little kids. No meter outside the world how changed it doesn’t influence my good personality at all. I agree Carl Rogers’s theory people should be capable of becoming conscious good.
Drawing a distinct line between right and wrong, or good and bad, is not always an easy task. Most people would agree that lying, murdering, and stealing are all very wrong indeed. Coincidently though, most people often would say they either have done/or would do one of the following things: tell a white lie to spare someone’s feeling, kill someone out of self-defense, or use someone else’s idea without giving them credit. Since there are exceptions to these “bad” actions, does that truly make them bad, or is it all a matter of perspective? From what I have experienced, the action isn’t quite as important as the intentions behind that action. In the motion picture Mumford, a man poses as a psychologist, and tries to solve his patient 's’ problems
...ing, it is safe to say that humans are not by nature evil but instead, they are good but easily influenced by the environment and society to act in evil way and do such evil things. You choose the road you want to take; either it’s the bad road or the good road. We are all born to live a life where we will be faced with good and evil things. We were not born to be an evil or bad person, but as you get older you make that choice. What do you want to be remembered as: the good or the bad person? Choose to be good over being bad because the rewards to your family, your friend, and yourself will always outweigh the bad.
