The Book of Eli

The Book of Eli follows the journey of man named Eli trekking across a barren wasteland and views the obstacles he encounters. This post-nuclear war apocalyptic world is dry, waterless and hectic. Some villages have been formed but many areas are terrorized by bandits. Eli is in possession of the last known Bible on the planet and in a vision from God, he is told to carry it West and bring it to a safe place. All books were destroyed in this world to create more "order." So a book such as the Bible, would have a great deal of influence amongst the people of this wasteland.
When stopping in a village to charge his iPod, Eli is sort of abducted by a wasteland lord and taken into his custody. The man believes Eli has this book and will do anything to get it or even find out if Eli has it. This furthers the depth of Eli's chaos as he just wants to head West and reach the sacred cosmos where the book will be safe. Eli eventually escapes due to some handy firearm work and escapes off into the desert with one of the lord's slaves. Although he is forced to leave the book to maintain his safety. As the trip draws to a close, Eli is in greener pastures and sees the ocean. He is met by armed personnel and taken to the ruins of Alcatraz where art and culture are being restored and revitalized.
Alcatraz is the cosmos. It is revealed that Eli is blind and does not need the book anymore because he has spent so much time reading it that he has memorized it word for word. To the shock of the wasteland lord and the bandits when they finally open the book they learn that the book is in Braille and they have no way of deciphering. They are forever locked in chaos by this, even though they have unlocked the book.

The Thin Red Line - Joseph Hancock

“The Thin Red Line” has many similar themes to “Apocalypse Now.” This makes sense, as both are war films focused on a squad of American soldiers with diverse backgrounds and personalities heading into enemy territory. However, although both films tackle similar ideas, they approach them from different perspectives. For example, “Apocalypse Now” views the natural world as a part of the sacred. Meanwhile, the arbitrary war between human countries is profane by going against nature and destroying it through bombs, napalm, and firefights. But while nature is sacred, that doesn’t mean it is friendly, as the jungle is hostile towards the main characters to the point that they only feel safe on their boat after an animal attack; even then, several squad members still die on the boat as a result from unseen attacks coming from the jungle.  Comparing these ideas to those found in “The Thin Red Line”, there is plenty of overlap. Many of the visual shots in the film focus on how nature...

Film Technique Joseph Hancock

Bunny The level of violence in the film really did not shock me that much when I saw it. It came off to me as very slapstick-like, which is a common theme in animation going as far back as early Warner Bros and Disney films. When watching it, the actual dirtiness of the bunny and her house was the most surprising aspect of the film. The animators made the house feel cramped and dirty through the set design, despite there being only one person living there. I got the feeling that this bunny was just tired of life without even needing to see the shot of her viewing the photo of her husband. However, I will say that her climbing into the oven to reach the afterlife was also something I didn’t expect, but I can see why it got the film banned. I do like the imagery of this bunny going through her final transformation into something new via the oven, much like the pie she was trying to make. Harold and Maud The single closeup shot between the mother and her son told the entire stor...

Bunny: Bunny is an animated short film about an elderly bunny who is trying to get rid of an irritating moth. Once the bunny captures the moth, she angrily mixes it with the cake she is making and bakes it in the oven. Tired from chasing the moth around, the bunny falls asleep and has a vivid dream about following the moth into the lit up oven. The audience then finds out that the bunny actually died instead of falling sleep. The bunny then reunites with her already deceased husband. This has an interesting irony showing that moths naturally are attracted to lights whereas "going towards the light" symbolizes death. Personally, I would be horrified of this if I watched it as a child. However, it is a creative film. Harold and Maude: Harold and Maude is full of symbolism and life lessons. Harold merely wants her mother's care instead of her trying to set him up with a girl. He constantly fakes suicides to get rid of the girls and finds pleasure in it. His grim outlook ...
