Shakespeare on Film-Observations
Shakespeare On Film 02/10/04 Hamlet 20002 Observations It was a difficult movie to sit through. It is not because the movie is inherently bad but because of my own neurosis. The works of Shakespeare, in my humble estimation, are not meant to be modernized. Modern settings, along with modern stylization detract from the original beauty of the work. It is illogical to watch Polonius giving fatherly advice to the young Ophelia in a penthouse

Psycho
Because Hitch loves music and sound to create suspense, he hired the perfect man for the job. Bernard Herrmann is solely responsible for the screeching, high-pitched music some may compare to nails on chalkboard. Light jazz was what Hitch wanted for Psycho. It does sound unlikely, but this is what he wanted. The dark horror film was to feature some nice smooth jazz, just to keep the tension flowing. Personally I think it would have

4. Satire is when witty language is used to convey insults or scorn. I feel that a use of satire in The Player is the fact that he murders somebody who he beieves mistakenly is trying to kill him. The fact that post murder he finds out that the person he murdered actually isn’t the one who is trying to kill him. Another great satire in this movie is the extended opening which was poking
