Special Effects in 2001: A Space Odyssey
Most films today rely on dialogue to further the narrative, allowing characters to explain what is happening at all times. In Stanley Kubrick’s 2001: A Space Odyssey, dialogue is purposely minimal. In fact, the opening and closing sections of the film have absolutely NO dialogue whatsoever, amounting to nearly one hour of no spoken word. This kind of “deafening quiet” had not been known in movies since the silent film era, however this does

Spike Lee Analysis
The thread of African American history is spun from two sources: the struggle to define a place in the wider American life and the effort to maintain an authentic black presence in the larger American culture. This duality has meaning in the realm of filmmaking because the tools of cinema, film and cameras, cost more than the paper and pencil tools of writers. It is the cost of doing business that affects, indeed, threatens the

Spirit of Music
I thought that the song Ў°Where is the LoveЎ± by the Black Eyed Peas was a perfect song to demonstrate spirituality and ethics. The whole song is about the title itself; they are questioning where all of the love has gone on this earth. There is so much anger and negativity everywhere that it really does leave us questioning where all the love for one another has gone. With the many wars (which are mainly

Stairway to Heaven
Stairway to Heaven, for the first 5 minutes, is a very laid back, and relaxing song. It’s a song that if people were on some drugs, it would make you sit and think WAY too much, because I feel that there are an awful lot of different interpretations to the song. But drugs aren’t cool, so I don’t know. An element used in a heavy percentage of songs ever made, contain a lot of rhyming.
