In the novel Lord of the Flies, Golding unknowingly uses Simon, Piggy, Ralph, and Jack to illustrate id, ego, and superego. The id is the set of uncoordinated instinctual trends; the super-ego plays the critical and moralizing role; and the ego is the organized, realistic part that mediates between the desires of the id and the super-ego.

“The list is an absolute good,” Stern tells Schindler “The list is life. All around its margins lies the gulf.” Schindler’s List is a brilliant film about a tragic event in history. Schindler’s List does not, however, create an accurate depiction of what it was really like in Europe (Germany and Poland) during the time of the Holocaust.

Funny Games is a bruised forearm movie (your date seated beside you bruises your forearm by grabbing it too hard because the dude with the oversized chainsaw just completely feminised the hell out of that handsome jock). It is one of the most viscerally assaulting pictures ever produced; a film so utterly subversive in craft that rivals the greats of Hitchcock or Carpenter. “Funny Games” is a masterwork of horror, a film that pierces our minds with stunning imagery, symbolism, dark humour and, implicit

This brilliant reworking of the classic newspaper play The Front Page from director Howard Hawks is the fastest-talking comedy in the history of Hollywood and the perfect vehicle for Cary Grant - never better - and Rosalind Russell - never tougher. Limited for most of the time to two sets, the film 's great strength is
