The Film The Bronze Screen

The documentary Tree of Iron presents the quest of Peter Schmidt, an ethno-archeologist, to discover and recreate the ancient African process of iron smelting. Schmidt hypothesizes that ancient east African technology was not as primitive as other scientists might of thought. Therefore, he travelled to a village in Tanzania called Nyungwe, where the Haya people reside, to try to witness the process of forging iron first hand. Because this ancient African tradition is not written down, Schmidt joins village elders Norbert Kajuna and Herman Kariba, who both remember the iron smelting process, in making an iron furnace in the same way their ancestors did several years ago.

During the course of this essay it is my intention to discuss the differences between Classical Hollywood and post-Classical Hollywood. Although these terms refer to theoretical movements of which they are not definitive it is my goal to show that they are applicable in a broad way to a cinema tradition that dominated Hollywood production between 1916 and 1960 and which also pervaded Western Mainstream Cinema (Classical Hollywood or Classic Narrative Cinema) and to the movement and changes that came about following this time period (Post-Classical or New Hollywood). I intend to do this by first analysing and defining aspects of Classical Hollywood and having done that,

‘Ozymandias’ tells the tale of a powerful king, who has lost his legacy through the passage of time. The speaker is recounting a story heard by travelers, men who have seen the hardships of power and the negative consequences that follow. Once a powerful statue dedicated to the “king of kings,” (Shelley, 217) has become no more than “two vast and trunkless legs of stone…” Although Ozymandias was the king of kings, nothing beside remains. This text shows the ways in which legacies come and go, but live on through art forms, such as this poem. Irony is shown in this poem, by the phrase “…Nothing beside remains. Round the decay of that colossal wreck, boundless and bare, the lone and level sands stretch far away.” (Shelley, 217) The irony is situational,

Over the course of approximately one-hundred years there has been a discernible metamorphosis within the realm of African-American cinema. African-Americans have overcome the heavy weight of oppression in forms such as of politics, citizenship and most importantly equal human rights. One of the most evident forms that were withheld from African-Americans came in the structure of the performing arts; specifically film. The common population did not allow blacks to drink from the same water fountain let alone share the same television waves or stage. But over time the strength of the expectant black actors and actresses overwhelmed the majority force to stop blacks from appearing on film. For the longest time the performing arts were

The Crucible is a play constructed on conflict, lies and deception, written by Arthur Miller in 1952. The key theme of this theatrical four-act drama is ‘Wheels within wheels’. Set in Salem, in the heart of puritan Massachusetts, in 1692, the plot follows a community of villagers plagued by accusations of witchcraft. Amidst the executions of their friends, the remaining villagers turn to religion, rumours and secrets to alleviate the tragedy, and gravity of the circumstances unfolding on their doorsteps. Throughout the play, we become progressively responsive to the fact that sex/sexual repression are the motives behind a significant volume of

Since all theater had the same films, they focused on the quality of the theater as a form of differentiation (bigger and better screens, carpeting, emergency lights on floors, attractive marquees), while this was standard in the USA, this was new to Mexico

The symbol of darkness is vividly portrayed throughout the play Macbeth that is written by William Shakespeare. Darkness played an important role towards the tragic ending of the play. It transformed many characters in this play into dark and evil roles. Macbeth is certainly not an exception. Darkness transformed Macbeth into a completely different person. This is proved through his actions, Lady Macbeth’s persuasion and his supernatural beliefs. The play starts off with Macbeth being portrayed as a magnificent war hero. He is even given the title of Thane of Cawdor, but by the end of the play karma has caught up to Macbeth and he is killed because of the cloud of darkness that he was surrounded with. Throughout the play, Macbeth’s actions,
