Assignment 1 I have to say that the Night Café by Vincent van Gogh on page 17 is my favorite work so far. The contrast of warm and cool colors are amazing. They present the perfect equilibrium for this painting. They kind of put me in the mood to listen to some blues or jazz while gazing upon the painting. I can imagine a stage‚ at the bottom right of the painting‚ with a saxophonist playing. As I observe‚ I can’t help but notice the lone man next to the couple asleep and the two buddies on the

Simpsons or Scream Queens- and have inspired spinoffs- Bates Motel- and remakes including Psycho (1998)‚ Director Gus Van Sant’s attempt at remaking the iconic film with a major studio backing. The director Van Sant said at the time of release that he tried to recreate the film through a shot-by-shot remake and give people the chance to see Psycho but in full colour. As far as I can see‚ Van Sant was wrong in saying that it was a “shot-by-shot” remake and that he was faithful to the original as he once

Anne’s inspiration from Vincent Van Gogh’s famous painting Starry Night. It begins with a quote from a letter written by Van Gogh‚ which says that he has a deep need for religion‚ and that it is when he feels this need that he goes out and paints the stars. This is very profound because it is about man’s need for something everlasting and holy. Even though Van Gogh didn’t want religion in his life‚ he still had a need for the holy. By creating the painting of the stars‚ Van Gogh was‚ in effect‚ memorializing

The poignant feeling of anticipation and excitement enthused us as we piled into Grandpa’s old beat up van. A sense of invincibility enveloped us as we started our twelve hour trek to Branson‚ Missouri. This serenity soon shattered when Luke began to throw up all over my seat. I sat horrified‚ trapped by the luggage in front of me. “Stop the van!” I screamed. Covered in bright pink Double Bubble puke‚ I bolted from the vehicle. I had tried to warn Luke earlier‚ but he did not listen. As the twentieth

We can identify functionalist and feminist approaches in movie ‘Mona Lisa Smile.’ To begin with‚ functionalism defends that gender differences‚ which are biologically inherited‚ between male and female contribute to social harmony and maintenance of family in terms of division of labour. Men and women must carry out such tasks which are corresponded to their sexuality. According to this‚ women should concentrate on home and family relationships while men perform outside as a “breadwinner”. In movie

Copying Beethoven Copying Beethoven is a film about the famous composer Ludwig Van Beethoven. In fact‚ Beethoven was tormented by dephness and loneliness. He helped Anna Holtz‚ which is his copyist‚ by teaching her music and mostly the freedom of music. I quote a passage in the movie where Beethoven says: “the note doesn’t end‚ it flows”. This passage proves his freedom for music and by not living on rules. Anna Holtz is a young female and aspiring composer. She is sent to be his copyist however
