Stanley Kubrick's "Full Metal Jacket": Using The Vietnam War To Expose Violence, Sexism And Racism Inherent To American Society
[ send me this essay ]
5 pages in length. Stanley Kubrick's "Full Metal Jacket" illustrates the manner by which violence, sexism and racism features so prominently in human nature, with particular emphasis upon American society. Following the thematic example that focuses upon similar filmatic images of the Vietnam War mentality, Kubrick provides a harsh realization of man's inhumanity toward his own species, with an underlying subplot that criticizes how various populations are perpetually unable to live harmoniously. Clearly, there is no question to the primary theme of power and control that runs through the movie; however, Kubrick also makes a strong social statement that outwardly ridicules the extent to which human nature has sunk as a rational, civilized species. No additional sources cited.

Star Wars, Episode II: Relation With Ancient Greek Mythology And Its Heroes
[ send me this essay ]
6 pages in length. One of the most prominent literary motifs of mythology is that of power and the tragic hero. Examining the fundamental interpretation of Star Wars, Episode II, the student will find that this film also struggles with the concepts of power and the tragic hero, as well. It may appear as quite contrary in nature to have two such divergent literary approaches upon which to draw the same conclusion, however, it becomes much more acceptable when one realizes that beneath all the garishness associated with heroic deeds, the protagonist is still just one being who is in constant struggle with his own existence. Bibliography lists 2 sources.
