This film was a remake of the fantastic four series that were released in the early 2005. This film was directed by Josh Trank who is a new director to the scene and after watching this movie it certainly shows a little. Trank was accompanied by Miles Teller, Michael B Jordan, Kate Mara and Jamie Bell as the main “four” that make up the fantastic four. Teller who is known for his performance in Whiplash and Jordan in his more recent movie in Creed are the more famous of the bunch. With a budget of 120 million this was a pretty expensive movie to make but unfortunately the movie only made a gross of 56 million (IMDB).…

Hulk was a mask, harboring every one of his secrets and the protector of his weak body. A weak body gave to him his father’s abuse, but a strong mind nurtured by his mother. Unable to comfort the rage which grew inside, the Hulk was there to channel it. Take the blunt of the blame so he wouldn’t have to face the grim reality. Truthfully, he was a monster, hiding behind false smiles and quick humor. Just like his…

The invisible man is a novel diving deep into the social and political issues of society. While doing so, it follows the experiences and obstacles of one particular blank man who is the “invisible man” (IM). Chapter to chapter, he comes across a new individual who has a completely different definition of him and that gives him a completely different role to play in society. By the end of the novel, the invisible man has a sense of moral reconciliation and he has some sense of his identity. His interactions with other characters, along with his attitude, and the use of several literary techniques used by the author make this moral reconciliation completely evident and obvious. In the epilogue, the IM realizes everything that has happened and can distinguish between the lessons that he has learned. The book shows a long, tedious, and struggling transition from an IM to someone on their way to an identity.…

In The Brute, Anton Chekhov scripts a relatively short, one-act play which features two prominent and distinct main characters. Chekhov himself was born in 1860 in Russia to a lower-middle class family. At age sixteen, he was literally abandoned by his family, an event which would shape the course of his life and writings in the years to come. Chekhov’s outlandish stories are generally classified as farces, which are defined as light, dramatic works in which highly improbable plot situations, exaggerated characters, and often slapstick elements are used for humorous effect (Dictionary.com/Farce). The Brute is thus typical of Chekhov’s work. Written in 1888, it was originally entitled The Bear and was based on a French play about a man who cannot refrain from swearing. The two primary characters in the story are Mrs. Popov and Mr. Smirnov. Both characters are exaggerated forms of the stereotypes of man and woman. For that reason, Mrs. Popov’s character is interesting to analyze. Although one might think that her character would be portrayed unrealistically when read in light of today’s modern society, it shows the similarities of women in Chekhov’s dramatically different time period and those of today.…
