Movie Review: Hamlet - The Significance of A Revenge Tragedy

Revenge is always a central theme that makes a story interesting and appealing. A lot of movies and plays have explored the topic of revenge. Surprisingly, Hamlet, a 16th century play without advanced technology, is widely recognized as one of the most suc cessful revenge stories in the industry. As I read the plot of Hamlet for the very first time, I was amazed by how gripping and riveting the story line is. For that reason, I would like to carry out an analysis to determine the reasons that score Hamlet a triumph in the category of revenge story.   According to my observation, I suggest that the characteristic of Prince Hamlet contributes significantly to the success of the play. Instead of being a man of marked individuality, Prince Hamlet is regarded as a mysterious person. Occasionally, he is thoughtful and contemplative. Suddenly, he acts rashly and impulsively to avenge the death of his father. For instance, while Hamlet is straggling with the idea of rev

Movie Review: La La Land, Dog x Police - Crucial Elements of Motivational Movies

Comparing two main characters from: Dog x Police, La La Land      It is without a doubt that watching movies has become one of the most popular forms of entertainment in the 21 st century. With various types of themes and genres, movies not only help the audience to relieve stress but sometimes serve as a medium for people to set out on a self-discovery journey, such as Dog x Police and La La Land.      Among the films that we have watched during this semester, I noticed that the plots of Dog x Police and La La Land have a very similar structure. Both of the stories begin with a protagonist with a great ambition in life. ‘Following your dreams’ is the most important message conveyed through both of the films. However, based on a few reasons, I suggest that the plot of Dog x Police is less effective in spreading the idea of being persistent in your passion than the story of La La Land. In the following paragraphs, I am going to compare the two

抵達澳洲的第一天和我的想像很不一樣... 到澳洲拍下的第一張相片 前往學校的路上 故事要說回出發之前的十年,正值國中的我,有一個在現在看來很平凡,但對那時的我很遙遠、很偉大的夢想 - 到澳洲交換,原因是什麼,就不說了,那是好久以前的事了,甚至,是在我出生之前的故事。 像個舞台劇導演一般,在腦海中,我排練了無數次名為「澳洲交換」的芭樂兒童舞台劇,劇情很單純,或許有些無聊,但那正是支撐我國中三年沒日沒夜讀書生活的精神糧食。

Movie Review: Macbeth - Mainly Contribution of Macbeth's Downfall

Some people suppose that it is the inflammatory remark dropped by Lady Macbeth and the attractive prophecies made by the Three Witches lead Macbeth an excessively ambitious and aggressive person. However, with a few points, I certainly believe that what causes to his violent behavior and a burning desire of power is mainly his personality. Instead of being faithful, I believe that Macbeth has a hidden personality that is tyrannical. Moreover, this unknown personality is an important factor that leads to his aggressive and immoral behavior. At the very beginning of the story, Macbeth is assumed to be a loyal and devoted general based on his valiant fighting against Norway and Ireland. However, after reading the whole story, I totally doubted his allegiance towards King Duncan. A question immediately sprang to mind: How easy the moral value of a decent and honest person can be demolished. If Macbeth is faithful enough, he will not be affected simply and easily by eit

Movie Review: Chef, The Circle - The True Meaning of Success

Comparing Characteristics of Characters from: Chef, The Circle      When we talk about a “successful” person, we are typically talking about someone who has got billions in their bank account, someone who has stared in multiple blockbusters, or maybe someone who has power over an entire nation. With a social value that most of the people share in the 21 st century, it seems like the word “success” equates with wealth, fame and power. However, after analyzing the characteristics of some of the characters in My Name is Khan, Chef, La La Land and The Circle, I begin to realize that what makes a successful person feel accomplished is not necessarily those achievements. Instead, the meaning of success truly depends on what kind of life you want to live, and often this includes a life of happiness and fulfillment.      Nowadays, people are surrounded by a materialistic culture. We often find happiness with a specific title or object, such as buying a luxury limite
