    Robert Kelley's Cyrano De Bergerac

    In the theater version of Cyrano de Bergerac, Director Robert Kelley faced several problems in thoughtfully expressing the theme of the play. Because the play involves a love triangle around three characters with different quality of appearance, one theme can be that appearance prevents one from realizing the true identity of a person. In a small theater, the director had to devise an efficient plan that successfully conveyed the theme with limited space and a few actors. The director also had to modify some scenes in order to fit the whole play in a short amount of time. Despite some miscasts in the actors, the director managed to emanate the meaning of the play through appropriate stage props and script.…

    Essay On Cyrano De Bergerac

    After spending time listening and participating in my class’s interactive oral for Cyrano de Bergerac, my mind and thought process towards this play were expanded. I never realized how pyrotechnic Rostand’s writing truly is. This play contains so many symbols that allows the reader to connect with the story on a deeper level. The interactive oral gave me a chance to notice the little symbolisms that most people overlook, such as, a barrier that prevents Cyrano from professing his love to his cousin Roxane, meant to be shown through Cyrano’s rather large nose. There was also a realization about the differences and similarities of the culture depicted then and the culture now. The stereotypical gender roles seemed to be switched in the play then what…

    merry widow

    In response to essay question 1 involving narrative construction and style, The Merry Widow (Ernst Lubitsch, 1934) is constructed using both the classic Hollywood film and the American film musical structure. Due to its familiarity, the style of such films goes relatively unnoticed, although within the veranda scene depicting Count Danilo (Maurice Chevalier) and Madam Sonya’s (Jeanette McDonald) first encounter, stylistic features and narrative construction are quite overt. The musical genre of the film determines a plot driven by the actions and relationship between these two protagonists, yet is the cause and effect structure of the classical Hollywood film that is the catalyst for action in this scene. To define and construct character, conventions are primarily related to the film musical genre whilst a continuous flow of action creates a unified structure throughout the entire scene.…

    Moulin Rouge

    Baz Luhrmann’s Moulin Rouge presents a dilemma for viewers as this movie displays the consequences of mixing obligations with personal interests and values. We see this with Satine as she is caught between two worlds in her role as a courtesan of the Moulin Rouge and also as Christian’s lover. She is obliged by her duty as a courtesan to protect Zidler’s interests, yet she also wishes to embrace the Bohemian values of Christian, those values being beauty, freedom, truth and most importantly to Christian, love. Luhrmann effectively portrays the Duke as the realistic aspect of the two worlds Satine is caught between, as he is the chief investor of ‘Spectacular Spectacular’ and owner of the deeds of the Moulin Rouge. In order for Satine to realistically fulfill her dreams as an actress, she must first escape her fantasy of love with Christian.…

    Phantom And Loathe

    The Phantom of the Opera is a classic story in which we are presented with a character (the Phantom) and his oddities, and are actually given the choice whether to like him or to loathe him. In the Story the Phantom is a character who has an impaired judgment and a disfigured face from birth, henceforth disenabling him from distinguishing between right from wrong and coping with society’s norms. It is these mental and facial impediments coupled with his violent and gruesome choices that drive him to kill and compels us to loathe him and pleads with us to sympathize with him simultaneously.…
