While considering a movie for an assignment on violence in the media, I was immediately reminded of the movie both written and directed by Quentin Tarantino, titled, Kill Bill. Kill Bill is a two part study in revenge which, at one point, has two women fighting - one of which has only one eye at the beginning of the scene, and, well, you can see what happens later in your own time - if you are so inclined.

Directed by Pen-Ek Ratanaruang, one of Thailands foremost “new wave” filmakers, the strangely haunting Last Life in the Universe provides viewers with an enticing and wholly unique cinematic experience. Delicate, enthralling, and hypnotically charged, Ratanaruang poignantly portrays the story of Kenji, a suicidal, OCD-bound Japanese librarian, living in Bangkok and seemingly on the run from his Yakuza influenced past. Over the course of the film we learn, not so much through dialouge but rather through

Many characters’ appearances in stories define them before they even speak. Similar to when people judge one another based on their clothing, the audience of a story makes assumptions about the characters by what they wear. However, the characters’ clothing does much more than convey information about the wearer: it sets the scene, interacting and blending with the setting to create cohesion. Memoirs of a Geisha, “Miss Brill,” Suits, and Hannibal all portray central characters whose descriptions
“The Cat Bill Veto,” written by Illinois Governor Adlai Stevenson on April 23, 1949, is a satirical yet professional response to a citizen’s request to restrain all cats. Stevenson respectfully addresses the citizen after having the bill passed down to him.

ON CONTEMPORARY DIRECTORS AND THEIR INFLUENCE Modern directors take a leaf out of the books of early directors all the time; be it in a form of a shot, character traits, or just generic similarities, it has all been done. These contemporary directors tread the thin line between plagiarism and influence with great competence, and produce work which is bound to go down in the vaults, like the ones they took inspiration from. Owing to his unconventional shooting methods, Hitchcock has a whole
