There were a lot of beautiful shots that made this movie spectacular. The editing was precise and portrayed a lot of meaning behind it. I screened this movie online through my laptop.
In one scene, Hannibal is being held captive in a human size cage while Clarice is quickly trying to get him to reveal the name of the current murderer. Hannibal then interrogates Clarice about the story of her childhood, and he reveals her true intention for desperately trying to identify the murderer. The filming used during this scene is incredible. The most obvious thing that stands out is the close up shots between Hannibal and Clarice. Both are expressing extreme intensity in their emotion, especially through their eyes and faces. These close shots let the audience cleanly view nothing but the intense emotions driving the scene. Also, something quite interesting is the camera angle. Hannibal’s cage is raised slightly so he is taller than Clarice. When the shot is of Clarice the camera is pointed down, and when the shot is of Hannibal the camera is sometimes tilted upward. This is slightly symbolic of the fact that he knows information that she needs, and he is keeping it from her. In this way he is above her, or holding knowledge over her, which the height or direction of the camera shows.
The point-of-view shots were very important framing aspects throughout the whole movie. They were used quite often and played a vital role in capturing the viewer’s attention by virtually placing them in a character’s position. This took place during the conversation scenes between Hannibal and Clarice. The camera would stay on Hannibal’s face whenever he would talk, and then it would switch to Clarice’s whenever she spoke. It was noticeable that whenever the camera was on Hannibal’s face, he was centered most of the time and it was a close-up shot. However, whenever the camera was on Clarice during the conversation, she was off center and it was more of a medium close-up. This was done to intensify Hannibal’s presence and Clarice’s fear that she felt while talking to him. When Hopkins and Foster both look and speak directly into the camera, it causes the viewer to feel as if they are being addressed which makes it even more emotionally gripping. Besides conversations, point-of-view shots were used at other times. For example, when Hannibal was
He tells his story in his book Night. Night reveals how Wiesel lost his family, faith, and innocence to the evil of mankind during the holocaust. Wiesel believes it is important for people today to read this book because they need to be shown how important it is not to keep silent and let something like the holocaust happen again. Thesis was a bit wordy. Elie has some of the most marvelous figurative language throughout the novel, starting off with some metaphors. Elie and the rest of the block are running to a peculiar concentration…
Bible in an Hour Summary The Bible in an Hour by Wade Butler splits the Bible up with four different charts. They all cover different parts of the bible. The first chart depicts the whole Bible from beginning to end. Charts two and three covers the themes of the Old Testament. Chart four covers the New Testament. In chart one, the narrator starts off with talking about the infinity sign. It is very important when talking about the Bible and God. Infinity means that God creates time and all who…
The Gwaun (heath) Valley In Wales it is always a beautiful summer. A spring which had caused the flowers and the trees to explode with colour had merged effortlessly in to a glorious summer which produced the lustrous rolling green fields of the hills that created the Gwaun valley. A Red Kite drifted with ease on a wind current in the sky above; momentarily blocking the dazzling sunlight and transforming my view into a smudge of grey and brown; its colours barely distinguishable. Above the rolling…
They ate the vegetables from their garden and the apples from their tree. The aroma from the kitchen hit me; a bouquet so heavenly it insatiated my lustful hunger and my stomach gurgled in anticipation. It was lunchtime and she had boiled some lamb bones from the day before and had made the most irresistible lamb and vegetable soup that when I watched her serving it into bowls, for me it was like pornography. She never asked me, she didn’t have to as the look of wanton craving on my face stripped my thoughts naked. She passed me a look that only a mother could…
cathy Smith Intro to World religions 2/17/2009 Compare and Contrast: Christianity and Islam Introduction Although Christianity and Islam have been and are dominating the scene it is necessary to place both in their proper perspective taking into account human history of faith in the supernatural or something beyond our five senses. Side by side with this awe mixed fear of the unknown is the feeling of being cocksure and confident of one’ own power. It is the same of the caveman…
again. And again and again. As the bullets sped toward their target, a monitor in an RV lit up. The screen flashed a triangular wedge of purple within an image of the stadium's architectural plan. Todd Lamb, the lieutenant governor of Oklahoma, was (inside the RV, surveying this mobile command post. Lamb had played wide receiver for the Cowboys on this field in 1992, back when he ran a 4.5 40 and the stadium was known as Lewis Field. He had protected presidents from assassination as a Secret Service…

The Eucharist is the high point of our faith, it is a “sign of unity, [a] bond of love” (Vatican II, SC 47). The word Eucharist is most often defined as “to have a grateful demeanor, to be thankful” (Vorgrimler 152). It encompasses both the Word and the sacrifice, and can hardly simply represent the host. The foundations for the Eucharist are found in the Old Testament and developed in the New Testament. At mass, we partake in an intimate relationship with God, we receive his blessings when offering…
healed. 6We all, like sheep, have gone astray, each of us has turned to our own way; and the Lord has laid on him the iniquity of us all. 7He was oppressed and afflicted, yet he did not open his mouth; he was led like a lamb to the slaughter, and as a sheep before its shearers is silent, so he did not open his mouth. 8By oppression and judgment he was taken away. Yet who of his generation protested? For he was cut off from the land of the living; for the transgression of my people he was punished. 9He…
