Spiderman vs. Vice

Two movies which I recently saw where Vice and Spiderman Into the Spider-Verse. These two movies were very different from each other total opposites one could argue. Vice is a movie about Vice President Dick Cheney’s life. It is a movie that centers around the acting and the actor’s ability to sell the story and make the viewer believe they are that person. It was hands down one of the best movies I have ever seen. It was able to convey the controversial life of Dick Cheney so well that it did not feel like a movie. I felt like I was watching a documentary at times Christian Bale was about to make me believe he was Dick Cheney and I think that is an art that the film industry is losing each year. This movie was indeed what a film is supposed to be it embodies all the elements of a classic piece. The second movie, Spiderman Into the Spider-Verse was utterly different. This film was animated and focused more on how the story was told and the visual effects. I found this movie to be spectacular the story line was great the soundtrack amazing and the animation just incredible. This movie is the future it showed how great a movie could be using the modern film style that shies away from the traditional live action. I think that over time we will soon start to treasure the few movies that come out each year that are truly brilliant works of acting vs. the coming saturated market of animation.

Why Read Shakespeare

1. According to the article, what are some reasons that students find Shakespeare difficult to understand? What does Mack present as an answer to this? Many students find Shakespeare difficult to read because of the language he uses in his works. Not much of his pieces are straight forward and written in a context similar to today’s writing style with the old English turning many students away from Shakespeare. The best way to understand Shakespeare and enjoy what you are reading is by reading it over and over again. You will pick up on new things with each go through and learn to appreciate the work more and more and find what it has to offer. 2.

Ophelia Advice

I found Laertes’ and Polonius’ advice to Ophelia to be a little blunt and aggressive. They treat her like she has no wits about her and has no clue what is going on around her. It is a bit condescending both of their tones towards her treating her more like an object then someone they actually care for making sure she doesn’t do anything stupid to shame the family name. Though it is necessary for them to warn her of Hamlet because he very well will break her heart as it is impossible for him to marry her. Hamlet has no choice who he marries as he is royalty and needs to do what is best for the crown and it is very unlikely Ophelia is good for crown. In short, the warning of Hamlet was needed but they did it in such a way that it seemed mean and degrading for Ophelia.

Hamlet

Is Hamlet crazy? I would say that Hamlet is much like the character Cash in As I Lay Dying because both seem to hide the fact they are insane throughout the story and it all comes together at the end. Hamlet says at the very beginning that he is going to act insane in an effort to learn if his Uncle is the one who murdered his father. This may explain some of the things Hamlet does like when he shouts at Ophelia about going to a nunnery, but it does not account for the fact that he is the only one who is able to hear the ghost speak which makes me think the ghost isn't able to speak at all. Not only does the ghost cause me to lean towards insane but as does the killing of his two best friends. Those two did not need to die but he felt betrayed by them and had them killed even though they had no clue what was happening and were the most innocent characters of the entire play. Throughout there is not a point where Hamlet makes a cause for himself that he is thinking rationally. Every
