Mexican Film/Maria Candelaria
[ send me this essay ]
A 7 page research paper/essay that discusses Emilio Fernandez’s Maria Candelaria (1943) and how this film relates to the task of addressing the legacy of colonialism within the context of Mexican history. Mexico, as Andrea Noble points out, is fundamentally a “mestizo entity,” that is, it is the product of “the colonial encounter between Indians, Spaniards (and Africans)” (Noble 81). As such, the Mexican culture struggles to understand its fundamental nature and to express the cultural dichotomies held within this paradigm. One of the ways in which this task has been expressed is through cinema. Bibliography lists 5 sources.

Mexican Sones
[ send me this essay ]
5 pages in length. Mariachi music is as much of Mexican heritage as is the overall cultural mystique that surrounds its haunting melodies. The various sones typically associated with this particular type of music is what separates – sometimes almost indistinguishably – the unique musical attributes that each son projects. Realizing the subtle differences between such sones as huasteco, jalisciense and jarocho provides the student with a significantly better understanding with regard to the history of Mexican music. No bibliography.

Michael Crichton/Lost World
[ send me this essay ]
A 3 page essay that contrasts and compares the movie The Lost World with the original book by Michael Crichton. The writer argues that the film, not surprisingly, concentrates on the visual aspects of the story -- heart-stopping scenes where the main characters have to run for their lives from very real-looking dinosaurs. In the book, Crichton goes into more detail on the science behind the story, introducing the reader to the latest theories in paleontology as well as complexity theory in mathematics. Yet, despite minor changes in plot, it is basically the same story in each format. No additional sources cited.

Michael Cunningham's "The Hours" - Virginia Woolf
[ send me this essay ]
3 pages in length. The dichotomy of searching for oneself while at the same time struggling against one's demons represents the foundation upon which Virginia Woolf's character exists in Michael Cunningham's The Hours. The extent to which Woolf endures an internal battle to free herself of such self-imposed limitations is both grand and far-reaching; that she is influenced by the other two women in the film speaks to the value of external inspiration when one is grappling with life-altering quests. No bibliography.
