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

This past Christmas‚ my parish “Sacred Heart Church” in Bowie‚ Maryland‚ gave each household a book titled: “The Lamb’s Supper” written by Scott Hahn‚ a convert to the Catholic Church. Scott Hahn sheds new light on the sacredness of the Holy Mass and how the book of Revelation mirrors the sacrifice and celebration of the Eucharist.

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 movie shows how the prisoners come together when a former well-respected general is sent there to overpower the man that runs the facility. The first theory and probably the most noted theory is the Adaptive Structuration Theory

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. This film is considered Myzoguchi’s masterpiece and encompasses most of his cinematic techniques and qualities in one film. The shot which best represents this is when Otoku walks down the street with the baby late at night and runs into Kikunosuke Onoue. The camera is from a very low angle in front and to the side of her‚ and follows Otoku as
