Orson Wells's Talent
Orson Wells who directed, wrote and started in Citizen Kane is a actor that I consider to be a star. Orson Wells was only twenty five when he produced one of the transcendent movies in the 20th century. Mr. Wells talents were shown throughout his production Citizen Kane that started with the writing of the screenplay. Wells was one of the first writers to go against classical Hollywood cinema by having a variety of flashback throughout his film. Wells acting talent throughout this movie showed me how he could be classified as a star, the way Wells played Charles Foster Kane throughout the movie from when he was a young man to his death really showed his talent. Orson Wells showed his variety of talents in the movie Citizen Kane, thus showing

    Robert Mitchum: An Exceptional Actor In The Film

    “Robert Mitchum was a one-of-a-kinder, he was a legend, bigger than life.” Bruce Dern, a former Co-star, said in an interview (“Robert Mitchum”). To be honest, he is the most legendary, but an exceptional actor in the whole film industry. He was a hobo before he started his acting career, and kept a hobo’s heart till he died (Clarke). He was an actor who was famous of acting as a “western” over 100 movies as well (“Robert Mitchum”). He was so special that until 1970s, a new generation of critics placed him in the first rank of screen actors, before that, he didn’t get any Oscar.

    Wes Moore Literary Devices

    A literary device used a lot in the story is tone, changing a significant amount of times. There are a few themes in the book, but in my opinion with it majorly being family influences has to do with the different tones. In the book there was a quote that really stood out to me… It stated, “Wes was tired. Tired of being locked up, tired of watching drugs destroy entire families, entire communities, an entire city.” (138).…

    Talented Tenth Summary

    This paper discusses the ideology of the Talented Tenth as was advocated for by Mr. W.E.B. Du Bois. The Negro Problem was a book that hit the shelves of most libraries in 1903 when it was authored by the Northern Philanthropists (Horne 74). The book was publicized by Mr. W.E.B. Du Bois who was a scholar among the blacks. The second chapter of the book entailed the Talented Tenth topic, which discussed the ability of the ten percent of the population being empowered. Mr. Du Bois believed that by empowering the portion of the Negro community, they would gain capacities to improve the lives of the rest of the community. He believed that a tenth of the community would receive the high level of education and act as change agents for the other members of the community (Washington 63). It was at a time when most of the Negro community could only access industrial training sponsored by the government. Mr. Du Bois perceived the training as retrogressive and only aimed at maintaining the status of the Negros as second generation humans. Essentially, it meant that they…

    Extraordinary Acts Of Power: George Burroughs

    One eyewitness declared Burroughs could scrutinize his thoughts. Another test made on the accused was for any "supernatural weaknesses" such as the impotence to quote prayers accurately. Yet another standard was the appearance of a "witch's tit"—any little, abnormal somatic addition, usually fairly compact, through which the witch would sacrifice to the devil when he materialized in the shape of a tiny creature. Rage shadowed by misconduct also speculated a person was a witch, especially when a hex was articulated against a nearby residence or his property approached instantly before the crime transpired.…

    Essay On The Other Wes Moore

    “The chilling truth is that his story could have been mine. The tragedy is that my story could have been his.” This is how author Wes Moore describes the parallel life that he led with the other Wes Moore. I think that his statement is eerily accurate when you break it apart and dive into the crazy parallel lives that these two men led. “The chilling truth is that his story could have been mine.” The other Wes Moore grew up in practically the same neighborhood as the author Wes Moore… yet their lives ended up so different. Both Moores lived in Baltimore, in neighborhoods with lower income, and a large drug influence. From a young age the other Wes Moore was exposed to the “drug game,” with his older brother being majorly involved in the local…

    Arthur Miller s Use of His Artistic Licsence

    Many will always debate on whether or not Arthur Miller had a responsibility to portray the Salem With Trails accurately. It is however seen in his play, The Crucible, he was responsible enough to recreate the events in a way that portrayed what happened in the Salem Witch Trails. Miller in the beginning of the play states that not a lot is known about the characters and that he took it upon himself to make any creations necessary (Miller 2). It was important for Miller to add in or alter crucial details to allow the readers to understand what he is trying to say. These changes allowed Miller to better portray the hysteria that occurred in the Salem Witch Trials and to better compare it the “Red Scare” of the 1950s; therefore his use of “artistic license” with respect to some the historical facts is justifiable.…

    How Did Morgan Freeman Changed

    I described him as talented because he has been an incredible actor and narrator even since he was little. I also described him as talented because of the amount of movies, Oscars, and recognition he’s gotten. Another trait I would describe him with is hard-working. He has endured so many struggles, from segregation to an unfortunate death, and he still has a firm grip on success. I also described him as well-respected. People, like interviewer Mike Wallace from the TV series “60 minutes”, to President Barack Obama, have commended him, saying things like, “He’s a thoughtful man,” and “I respect him immensely,” (Biography.com…

    Copeland Artistic Greatness

    There have been many artists throughout history that portray artistic greatness, each one possessing a unique quality that makes them an exceptional artist. For example, Van Gogh revolutionized painting techniques and Shakespeare defined a new era of the English language. Even so, I believe artistic greatness is only achieved when an artist loves what they do so much that they continue to pursue it through every hardship. I have seen this quality in Misty Copeland, a principal dance at the American Ballet Theater. Misty’s trials include being an African American dancer at ABT, not having the typical ballerina body, and sustaining a severe leg injury, but through all of it, she persevered and continued to dance.…

    Example Of Accomplishment In Film

    They find a story they want to tell and they believe so strongly in telling it that it does not matter if only one person sees it as long as there story reaches someone. Which is accomplishment. They realize that you do not have to being famous worldwide they feel inside themselves that they have accomplished something is which good. Halloween directed by John Carpenter is a great example.
