An Old Movie in a New Light "The Last Samurai" is one of my favorite films; I have watched it at least ten times. This time around‚ I was forced to watch it from a completely different point of view. I had never realized how much you can learn about the Japanese culture from this movie. It depicts the Japanese culture very well‚ and shows the contrasts between that culture and American culture very blatantly. Although the main conflict of the film lies within the Japanese culture‚ it encompasses

In the film‚ The Last Castle‚ I found many aspects and theories that involve organizational communication throughout the movie. The film is about a US prison where the prisoners have formally served in the military and have committed crimes while serving their time.

The Story of the Last Chrysanthemums (1939) is a fascinating piece of cinema‚ due to it’s length (running just over 2 hour) and few amount of shots‚ 140.

In each of the poems‚ both Medusa and the Duke of Ferrara represent the fickleness
