    There are many similarities and many differences, but one stands out more than the others. The similarity that stands out the most was the ballerinas performing on live television, as the text shows, “On the television screen were ballerinas” page 1, last sentence. This is the most pronounced similarity because if the show was not rolling live, Harrison would not have had the chance to go on stage and show the audience and everyone that was watching television that he was breaking free of his handicaps, thus breaking free of the governments’ chains on him. He also did this because he knew that his parents would be watching, so they would know he was free, but then he was cut short, as he became peppered with bullet holes and was killed by the Handicapper General, Diana Moon Glampers, who used a shotgun to shoot him. The director kept this in the movie because there would have been no other way for Harrison to show that he was breaking free. Perhaps he could have used the radio, but you would not be able to see or feel the emotion flowing…

    The film opens with a close up shot of Alex dressed in white with gray suspenders showcasing his false eyelashes on his right eye and with the brim of his pork pie hat tilted slightly downward. His ominous blue eyes peering right through you as if you did not even exist. Slowly the camera pulls back as Alex takes a sip of drug laced milk revealing the type of company he keeps. His “droogs” as Alex called them were seated next to him on a bench in the Korova Milk Bar. The Korova Milk Bar was decorated with nude figures of women posed as if they had fallen backwards and they attempted to catch themselves by putting their arms behind them. The flats of their stomachs doubled as a table where glasses of milk could be placed. Other nude statues…

    When conducting an interview for the American Film Institute, actor Jeff Bridges, discussing 1941's Citizen Kane, said its director was "twenty-five years old, and he didn't know what he couldn't do...and Greg Toland gave him all the confidence in the world (2011, 0:28 sec.). Bridges was of course talking about the late, great Orson Welles. But who was Greg Toland? Well known in Hollywood at the time, Toland was a longtime cinematographer who had not only won an Academy Award for 1939's Wuthering Heights, but more importantly, had a unique unorthodox style and "was a devoted rebel against the conventions and rituals of big studio filmmaking" (Carringer, 1982, pp. 652-653). Needless to say, when the rookie filmmaker and veteran cameraman got together, movie magic was in the air. Indeed, their collaboration would result in a cinematic spectacle…

    Some conceal their differences while some use their differences to an advantage. From a young age Burton has directed unique films. A great example of this is his 1982 Hansel and Gretel, which aired only once due to the strangeness in its entirety. Burton uses non-diegetic sounds, low key lighting, and long shots in his work to display how one who overcomes his fear of being different has the potential for success.…
