As in the book “Scarlet letter” Hester is judge by adultery and is seeing as someone bad. In my opinion I believe that if someone comes from a bad environment‚ that doesn’t mean that person is bad or is dangers. There’s a lot of different people out in the world and Some people actually release what’s bad and what’s good. If you’re a good person‚ people will admire you if you are a good person‚ and you should feel good about yourself for it. We may fall short every once in a while

it seems‚ always emphasized that it was wrong to allow for the unnecessary spilling of blood. He did this wherever he went in Ireland‚ but it was also something he did during the Anglo-Spanish war. Cromwell justified fighting in the war with Spain because of the ‘millions of Indians being so barbarously butchered by the Spaniards’. Obviously‚ in both cases Cromwell was simply trying to find a way of legitimising his actions. However‚ in Ireland the situation was slightly different. It must be understood

In Stanley Kauffman’s review of Flight of the Innocent he talks about the “egregious huge close-ups‚ pointless slo-mo‚ intrusive fantasies‚ irrelevant prettinesses”. I strongly agree with this opinion because throughout the film you see horrendous close ups of Scarface (especially when he died because of the atrocious acting)‚ awful slow motion of Vito running away from the attackers because that creates a lack of suspense that is needed at a faster pace. The useless fantasy of Vito dreaming of a
