“The Cabinet of Dr. Caligari” became one of the most groundbreaking films during the era of German expression for many reasons.

In chapter 16 of The Island of Dr. Moreau‚ we see that some of the creations have been breaking the law. They were taught and engineered to abide by the law and never stray‚ yet we see that some of them are reverting to their beastly nature.

Dr. Zhivago Movie The 1965 movie‚ Dr. Zhivago‚ takes a slight diversion from the novel by Boris Pasternak. My initial reading of Pasternak’s Nobel Prize winning novel told me a story of war‚ identity‚ and morality. It took individuals under normal circumstances and threw them into the tribulations of war and tragedy. This is emphasized by Yuri’s relationship with Lara. Though there was a strong sub-plot of love and romance‚ the strongest theme‚ to me‚ was that of the individual struggles during the
