6. Synopsis: Die Zwillingsbrüder Oliver und Oswald Deuce (engl.: Zwei, Einstand, Teufel) verlieren ihre Ehefrauen bei einem Autounfall vor dem Zoo, wo beide als Zoologen arbeiten. Sie versuchen den Verlust durch Gespräche mit der Unfalllenkerin Alba Bewick, die durch den Unfall ein Bein verlor, zu verarbeiten.
Alba wird zunächst von beiden beschuldigt, für den Tod ihrer Frauen verantwortlich zu sein, doch mit der Zeit gehen die Zwillinge eine Affäre mit ihr ein. Der Chirurg Van Meegeren verwendet Alba als Modell für seine Vermeer Fälschungen und wird immer besessener von seiner Arbeit, sowohl als Chirurg als auch als Maler. Oliver und Oswald beschäftigen sich mit ähnlicher Besessenheit mit dem Ursprung des Lebens und der Vergänglichkeit, in dem sie Tiere und Lebensmittel beim Verwesen beobachten. Ihre Experimente werden immer größer, bis sie zum Schluss ihre eigene Verwesung dokumentieren wollen.

7. Hervorhebungen
7.1. Lichtgebung/Vermeer: In seiner Faszination für den Maler Vermeer, den Greenaway als den „ersten Kameramann der Welt" bezeichnet, versucht Greenaway in ZOO mit der Lichtgestaltung zu spielen und verwendet 26 verschiedene Möglichkeiten, das Filmset zu beleuchten: u.a. natürliches Licht (Morgenlicht, Nachmittagslicht, Sonnenlicht, Mondlicht, Sternenlicht), künstliches Licht (Kerzenlicht, Glühbirnen, …) und „modernes, zeitgenössisches" Licht, wie zum Beispiel das Licht von Autoscheinwerfern oder von Schweißgeräten.
Vermeer Bilder werden vom Chirurgen Van Meegeren nachgestellt. Das Gemälde „Briefleserin am offenen Fenster" (1657), ist eine Andeutung an Evas Sündenfall durch eine mit Äpfeln

    Rarely has a film impacted an audience and held the test of time as the film Gone with the Wind. I have always been curious if director, Victor Fleming and producer, David O. Selznick and screenplay writer, Sidney Howard knew what they were creating a masterpiece and how this film would have such an enormous impact on audiences for years to come. Interestingly enough there were some who thought the film should not be made, as Irving Thalberg said to Louis B. Meyer in 1936, “Forget it Louis, no Civil War picture ever made a nickel” (Ten Films that Shook the World). This romantic melodrama was released in January, 1940, yet it was at the 1939 Academy Awards that Gone with the Wind was nominated for thirteen awards, the eight awards that were won were Best Picture, Director, Actress, Supporting Actress, Screenplay, Color Cinematography, Art Direction, and Editing (Ten Films that Shook the World). ”If the total income for Gone with the Wind were to be adjusted for inflation, it would be considered the most successful of all time” (Ten Films that Shook the World). When you think of “Gone with the Wind” from a film criticism standpoint, it’s hard to judge it by the Auteur Theory, which states that the director is supreme overlord of a films artistic merit because in the case of Gone with the Wind, Fleming takes a back seat to Selznick. The film chronicles the grandeur and splendor of the Old South, how it crumbles during the Civil War and the New South during reconstruction. The characters are basically simple folk living a simple life until their world is shattered by the Civil War and this devastation creates a new world, one which will require courage and resilience to survive. Selznick genius in the aspects of cinematography lighting, sound, costumes and societal impact and genre…

    The Book of Kells is a lavish bible filled with intricate artwork that was created in 800 CE. Around 1,200 years later an animated movie describing the story behind the creation of the Book of Kells, called The Secret of Kells, was created. Even though the Book of Kells and The Secret of Kells were created 1,200 years apart, the original manuscript influenced the creators and animators of the movie.…

    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…

    In this essay I will be arguing that the relationship between Stephen and Madame Azaire is intangible in the opening of Birdsong. I think that the reason Faulks has done this is to engage the reader so that throughout the novel it is unclear on how their relationship is going to develop. I will be exploring a number of different encounters with Stephen and Madame Azaire. I will be talking about how their relationship is shown at the beginning of the novel and how they act around each other when they first meet. Faulks also uses a lot of references to eye contact when talking about Madame Azaire and Stephen and I will be exploring the importance of this. I will also be exploring how Faulks describes the character of Stephen and how he contrasts with the other male characters. Also I will be looking at the language Faulks uses when describing Madame Azaire.…

    Movies have always been a way to escape the world for a little while. Comedies, action films, and even horror; what happens in movies doesn’t always happen in real life, but sometimes it does. They open doors to the past, present, and future. I just finished watching the movie Elizabeth (1998) and the funny thing is I actually learned. Elizabeth is a great movie because while being entertaining it shows many of the 6 main themes of AP World History. War, violence, and religion are all parts of this movie, each part of a different theme. Now I would like to explain how this movie relates to World History.…

    This essay will take an in-depth look at the history of Hollywood during the late 60s and early 70s. This period of time is considered to have been a renaissance for American cinema, and was titled the ‘New Hollywood’ by cotemporary critics of the time. In order to understand the changes that Hollywood went through the late ‘60s, you first have to examine the preceding era of Hollywood filmmaking during the 30s and 40s. This was a period that is commonly referred to as Hollywood’s Golden Age; when the dream factories were in full swing and the audiences were in regular attendance. This period of time could be defined by a number of social, political or economic contexts, but it’s the filmmaking practices that were employed at the time which…

    America's War of Independence was a political and military struggle among the thirteen American colonies and England. Since the British defeated the French and their Indian allies in the French and Indian War, the result was British control over much of North America. This was had cost England a great deal of money and Parliament decided it was time for the colonies to pay a share for their own defense. The movement to resist the new imperial policies, a movement for which many people would die for, was thus at the same time democratic and conservative. It was a movement to conserve liberties Americans believe they already possessed. While it would be hard to point to any one event that singularly led to the revolution, there is no doubt that…

    Movies are all about taking you on an adventure. They expand our minds, they bring our imagination to life, and manipulate our emotions. Directors do this in many ways, whether they are peculiar camera angles and shots, extreme lighting, or music that intensifies a scene. If a director correctly implements these within their movie, the audience’s emotions can very easily be manipulated.…

    Der Film “Der junge Törless“ ist, in vielfach, sehr ähnlich zum das Buch {text:bookmark} „Die Verwirrungen des Zöglings Törleß“.Der meiste Filmedialog kommt gerade von dem Buch, und der insgesamt Stimmung ist auch dort. Aber der Film lässt alle Themen aus, die Homosexualität behandeln, und als Ergebnis, die Filmenachricht verdünnt. Es ist viel schwerer zu verstehen, was Torless genau für ein „Verwirrung“ hat. Zusätzlich, der Film kann nicht die Gedanken, und innere Konflikte von Torless zeigen, die die Mehrheit des Buches ist.…
