“Singin’ In the Rain”
[ send me this paper ]
This 5 page report discusses the 1952
movie “Singin’ in the Rain” starring Gene Kelly, Debbie Reynolds,
and Donald O’Connor. The paper considers the various aspects of
the film but focuses on a singular “mise en scène” in which
Reynolds and Kelly dance together on an empty stage against an
artificially created and romantic sunset. Handsome Don takes shy,
yet independent, Kathy on to an empty sound stage and the magic
begins in which an entire mise en scène, in the most classic
sense of both the photographic and the theatrical concept
unfolds. Bibliography lists 2 sources.

“The Battle of Algiers” and “Bab Al-Sama Maftuh”
[ send me this paper ]
This 5 page
report discusses two movies, “The Battle of Algiers” (1965) and
“Bab Al-Sama Maftuh” also known as “A Door to the Sky” (1989).
“The Battle of Algiers” is a powerful movie made all the more
powerful because it tells the story of actual events as it
presents an outline of the Algerian insurgence against French
colonial forces in the 1950s. “A Door to the Sky” tells the story
of a young woman, Nadia, who returns from Paris to the ancient
city Fez to be with her dying father. Each of the movies deal
with issues of independence as they are juxtaposed with issues of
culture and heritage. No bibliography.
