Cast Essays Samples That Help You Write Better, Faster & with Gusto

In the early 1960’s and 1970’s you must have seen musical films like the Sound of Music, Oliver, My Fair Lady and many more. All of these films were portrayed by Caucasians. Operas featured only a single ethnicity in casting for the actors, actresses and supporting casts. Today I would like to write about a musical play that originally was shown in London. Its first show was held in the Theatre Royal, Drury Lane, London, on 20 September 1989 up to 30 October 1999 before it started making their tour and performances in other countries. Miss Saigon Continue reading...

Brand identity is the term used by the brand managements in order to categorize the brand and products. Brand identity evaluates the recognition manner among the customer. A brand identity is developed on the basis of facts which an organization wants its customers to perceive. Therefore, the brand identity has to be constructed very wisely as it becomes the representation of a brand. The brand identity and brand image which is the result of customer perception regarding the brand, go hand in hand. In order to form Continue reading...

AUTEUR

Auteurism, as established by Francois Truffaut and many other writers and contributors for Cahiers du cinema, is a theory of film criticism in which the director is thought to be the ultimate ‘author’ of a film, with the creative thrust of the film being their primary artistic expression. In today’s blockbuster franchise world, that type of authorial control can oversee multiple films in a series. The X-Men superhero film series, headed by original director Bryan Singer, saw great success and a consistent world, before being changed in subsequent films by directors such as Brett Ratner, Gavin Hood, and Continue reading...

The play that was chosen is Oedipus Rex by Sophocles. The original play has a variety of themes, but the primary theme that would be used in the modernized version would be the power of fate. Throughout the play Sophocles uses the power of fate and how one is not able to alter his or her given fate. The modernized version of the play would take place during the industrial revolution. There are many who are fascinated with the industrial revolution and the 1920s, which would make the play enticing to many individuals.
The modernized version of Oedipus Rex Continue reading...

On March 29 I went to see “I Love Lucy Live” at the Von Braun Center in Huntsville. My seat was in the lower balcony and afforded a great view of the stage. The theater had excellent sound and lighting and the show was very enjoyable and the accommodations comfortable. The show starred Thea Brooks as Lucy Ricardo (Lucille Ball) and Euriamis Losada as Ricky (Desi Arnaz). Rounding out the famous foursome are Lori Hammel as Ethel and Kevin Remington as Fred. The play is directed by Rick Sparks and it is adapted from the television series and produced Continue reading...

I recently saw the stage production of the musical, Chicago. It was an incredible experience. I had heard of the production and the film but had never seen it or heard the music. I was quite surprised by the performance I attended. It was highly entertaining and enjoyable. The story of the play is how and why two flappers murder their husbands. The first, Velma Kelly is a singer and dancer who kills her husbands and dance partner/sister when she discovers them having an affair. Roxy Hart on the other hand is a housewife, who aspires to be a Continue reading...

Sidney Lumet’s seminal 1957 courtroom drama 12 Angry Men, unlike many others of its ilk, sees the inside of a courtroom at trial only at its very beginning. The vast majority of the film, and the primary source for its drama, is the unusual setting of the film within the cramped, hot jury room in which twelve jurors must decide the fate of a young boy accused of murdering his father. The title 12 Angry Men offers the audience a glimpse into both the cast and premise of the film – the film’s only real substantial cast are Continue reading...

INTRODUCTION

Renowned scholar and cultural critic George Lipsitz famously opined: “Those of us who are ‘white’ can only become part of the solution if we recognize the degree to which we are already part of the problem—not because of our race but because of our possessive investment in it" (Lipsitz, 2006, p. 22). Lipsitz unequivocally believed that in order for society to progress into an entity characterized by liberty and equality, it must escape from this hegemonic paradigm Lipsitz refers to as “the possessive investment in whiteness” (p. 1). This construction of whiteness is quite unclear and often does Continue reading...

“The most serious and unaddressed challenge is the deprivation and abuse of women and girls, largely caused by a false interpretation of carefully selected religious texts and growing tolerance of violence and warfare.” (Carter,2014).
Jimmy Carter did not just speak those words. He lives by them. After sixty years of being active members of their church, he and his wife, Rosalynn, left the Southern Baptist Convention. This followed decisions by the leaders in 2000 to create further restrictions against women, including banning women from being deacons, pastors, or chaplains in the military. The Carters strongly disagreed with these Continue reading...

Constitutionally, Japan is a parliamentary democracy. A parliamentary democracy is one which follows a pattern of delegation and accountability, from the voters to the elected representatives “in which at each link a single principal delegates to one and only one agent, or to several non-competing ones, and in which each agent is accountable to one and only one principal“ (Stram et al 2006, p. 65). Japan’s parliamentary democracy is characterized by a system of parliamentary cabinet where a close relationship between the legislature and the cabinet exists. Thus, the government and the cabinet begin their existence when the Continue reading...

Naomi Wolf raises critical issues surrounding the notion of "beauty" in relation to female identity. Indeed, accomplished women who have thriving careers feel physically and emotionally tortured by the societal expectation for them to look like celebrities. The “ludicrous” and unattainable ideals and standards of beauty condition, govern, and dictate women’s agency, thereby imprisoning them within their own corporeal existence (DuBois and Dumenil 636). As such, perfume advertisements appeal to female consumers by exploiting this tacit societal expectations that they purchase the right goods and don the correct clothing in order to be viewed as beautiful and socially Continue reading...

The art of early civilizations is often both intriguing and exquisite. It has the power to show us a window into the civilization, while also allowing us our own interpretations of the piece itself. Take Ancient Egypt, for example. Egypt, much like the Roman and Greek empires, is also known for its art. The pieces recovered from ancient Egypt are, of course, more primitive than those seen found in Rome or Greece, but they are still a sight to behold, and still tell a story about the society. “Seated Woman,” for example, is thought to have been created between Continue reading...

Chris Marker’s “Sans Soleil” as an Essay Film

In the recent past, essay films have come to be widely recognized as one category in the world of film practice, with their own history, as well as canons. Essay films have gained a description as being the most elastic of all film types. Indeed, there has been a proliferation of films of this type since the term was first identified. Whereas many scholars agree that it is almost impossibly difficult to give a definition for essay films, they do agree that these films have certain characteristics in common (Rascaroli 24-47). Scholars are divided on whether essay films are Continue reading...

Arthur Miller’s Death of a Salesman is perhaps one of the great American plays, a fundamentally tragic account of the death of the American Dream and the impossibility of achieving the high standards of success set for oneself by society and upper-middle-class capitalist industrialism. The character of Willy Loman speaks to every American who has been sold the dream of a white picket fence, a full and happy nuclear family, and a successful and lucrative job – oftentimes, this does not happen, and this can be incredibly frustrating. Set against the backdrop of 1940s post-World War II America, Death Continue reading...

Complete Name of Professor

The only daytime drama that I watch is The Young and the Restless. The only indigenous character that I know is Gwen, which is described as Afro-American woman. I would say that there is no resemblance of pure ethnic background in the way Gwen plays her role in the drama or if she ever is described as African in ethnicity or practice. Culturally, Gwen has already adopted the American culture that is free and modern. Gwen is often described by a combination of being professional and being a party girl at night (Bowe n.p). However, I was also captivated Continue reading...

On the Method of Doubt

Descartes’ method of doubt is explained in the first part of the Meditations. In order to establish a firm foundation for truth, he argues, he has to raze the foundations and build from a firm foundation (13). In order to establish a firm foundation for truth, Descartes employs a method of doubt that dictates that anything that can be cast into suspicion must be discarded as the indubitable truth (16). For the truth to be indubitable, it must be unable to be doubted.

Descartes’ Skepticism

Descartes’ skepticism leads him to discover the truth. A skeptic argues that knowledge is not possible Continue reading...

Play One: Fences

Fences was written by August Wilson and studies the difficulties of one black man’s life in the 1950s, as he struggles to overcome prejudice and simply work though the same day to day issues as any other American Man.
Symbolism, or hidden symbols in the play are quite possibly the most interesting single element of the writer’s work. The playwright wanted to play on both the idea of the North versus the South and the idea of the American dream. Perhaps first and foremost, he introduces the idea of the North versus the South in giving Troy’ Continue reading...

Does God have a personality? This is a question that has plagued Jewish and Christian scholars for hundreds, if not thousands of years. The God of the Old Testament—the Hebrew Bible—and the God of the New Testament certainly seem to be different in terms of personality. There are a number of things contained in Genesis 1-4 and Genesis 6-9 that seem to indicate that God does, in fact, have a personality, and that this personality had much to do with the ways in which God built His creation. The beginnings of the Hebrew Bible, Genesis, concern themselves Continue reading...

James Stewart was one of the most highly acclaimed and celebrated film actors of his time, a five-time Academy-Award nominee (winning once) and American cultural icon (Thomas, 1997). A great deal of his appeal came from his ability to play everymen, to elevate the ‘average joe’ character type into a compelling, appealing presence. In opposition to the Clark Gables and Spencer Tracys of his day, Stewart was not a handsome marquee face, with his thin frame and warbling, fatherly voice; despite this, the power and gravitas of his presence allowed Stewart to make the everyday struggles of the regular Continue reading...
