Kubrick/The Shining
[ send me this essay ]
A 7 page essay that discusses the 1980 film, The Shining. In this film, director Stanley Kubrick added fresh dimension to the horror film by reinventing many of the conventions of that genre. First of all, Kubrick offers a slow-paced script that builds tension slowly and in subtle, unexpected ways. In many cases, he defies conventions. For example, Kubrick filmed many of his film's most terrifying scenes in bright daylight or scenes that were brightly lit (Dirks). Unforgettable images build tension as the narrative portrays a man's descent into insanity. The psychological disintegration of the protagonist, Jack Torrance, is portrayed via Kubrick's use of camera angles and effects, as well as the cumulative effect of the other cinematic characteristics of the film. While the writer primarily discusses Kubrick's use of the camera, thematic issues are also discussed. Bibliography lists 2 sources.

Lanford Wilson/Rimers of Eldritch
[ send me this essay ]
A 3 page research paper/essay that discusses Lanford Wilson's play Rimers of Eldritch, which, on the surface, concerns a murder and a trial, however, this play encompasses much more than this, as it offers the audience a profile of the social systems and personal relationships that make up this extremely dysfunctional small town. Written in the 1960s, Wilson draws on the social upheaval of that era, but rather than making this play feel dated, it seems quite contemporary as it addresses issues of hypocrisy and self-righteousness in a town in America's Bible Belt. Bibliography lists 3 sources.
