"The Basketball Diaries" - Reaction
[ send me this paper ]
4 pages in length. Director Scott Kalvert's interpretation of Jim Carroll's book entitled The Basketball Diaries illustrates how drugs are all too often employed as a pinch hitter when life gets too hard to handle. Leonardo DiCaprio's performance of a promising Catholic school basketball player who - through a chain of temptation and bad choices - finds his life spiraling down at a pace faster than he can contemplate; heroin becomes the only thing that allows him to cope - or at least he believes this to be true in his distorted thought process, a pseudo-reality embraced by myriad adolescents caught in the grips of teen angst. At the core of this film is the obligatory lesson that drugs are not the panacea for what ails. Bibliography lists 4 sources.

"The Battle Of Algiers" And "Schindler's List":
Philosophical And Aesthetic Comparison
[ send me this paper ]
5 pages in length. Gillo Pontecorvo's 1965 movie entitled The Battle of Algiers has long been considered a Third World filmatic experience, failing to compete with Steven Spielberg's Hollywood treatment of Schindler's List. The obvious documentary-type style of Pontecorvo's creation detracts from the overall emotional strength that the director was obviously seeking to achieve. Spielberg, on the other hand, utilized the depth and breadth of geography and environmental factors as a means by which to evoke his desired objective. Bibliography lists 3 sources.

[ send me this paper ]
A 5 page paper which discusses the political aspects of "The Damned,"
a film directed by Luchino Visconti and produced in 1969. The address of political turmoil

climate and underlying issues of concern also address the social political aspects of

"The Exorcist"
[ send me this paper ]
5 pages in length. The altered state of consciousness the main character experiences in the film is that of a possession trance clearly characterized by a number of telltale indicators, not the least of which includes being able to speak in a foreign tongue without having previous ability to do so. Regan performs myriad physical contortions, is able to move furniture without touching it, talks in different languages and voices, as well as displays instantaneous scratches and marks upon her body that appear without benefit of any mutilating tool; to suggest this trance is motivated by anything other than possession is to blatantly ignore the historical prevalence of such a reality. Bibliography lists 10 sources.
