The Crucible Thesis Statements
In the story The Crucible by Arthur Miller, reputation is a very big deal to the people
in Salem. This is a very true thesis, i believe this as well. This is a decent one, it tells you about the book, and shows what they are talking about. I might have used this next to the quote, its hooks a little bit but also it tells how puritan life was typically lived.
The play "The Crucible" by Arthur Miller is all about reputation. Not quite as true of the last one, the story is not all revolved around reputation, reputation plays a big part in the puritan life, however. This wasn't as good as the others, it is in a way wrong. The puritan life style was not only revolved around reputation, and the book, The Crucible was also not revolved around only reputation. I don't think i would have used this one at all. Its a bit inaccurate.

Metropolis and Modern Times Quotes
Parallel Sequencing of Modern Times and Metropolis
The movie Metropolis is very interesting. Its a silent film movie, and its in black and white. It is a Science Fiction film, and at that time science fiction was very new to the up and coming movie genres. The main character is Joh Frederer. He is trying to figure out the social crisis between workers and the owners in capitalism. The film stars Freder as the leader of the city, Joh as his son, who tries to mediate between the elite caste and the workers.

Integrated Comparison of Metropolis, Modern Times
Metropolis and Modern Times are tow very different movies, but they both have similarities. The similarities between both of them is that they were made possibly at the sametime, both of them show workers and factories. but Metropolis and Modern Times are two different genre types, as in Metropolis is a science fiction and Modern Times is comedy. The acting in both movies are very realistic but Modern times makes it seem like that they do the acting on accident.

Star Wars and D.W. Griffith
George Lucas uses many film techniques like cross cutting, building suspense, special effects, close ups, long shots, and medium shots, and some low keys as well. George Lucas compared to D.W. Griffith is quite the same but at the time that Lucas made Star Wars they had more editing technique and a lot of money in to the foundation of the first early Star Wars movie, but D.W. Griffith did not have that much money, but he did have good close ups and overall good Cross Cutting techniques.

Re: Comedy
My type of comedy movie would be the Mexican Cinema kind. Like Cantinflas. I love physical comedies. I have not really seen any British Comedies, but I have heard that they are very funny. Yes, I do like comedies with stunts. No, I don't really get why they make teen movies because they are just saying " Hey do this and you might just get laid :D ", and I just do not get them. The thing that really makes me laugh would be just physical comedy, and just like saying funny phrases.

Re: Favorite Movie in the Last Month
One of my favorite movies from last month that I have seen would be, El Orfanato. They use a little bit of light but not that much. It has a lot of similarities with German Expressionism, like how they use Chiaroscuro in a lot of scenes. The set was actually in a Orphanage in Mexico. The Acting was very realistic, showed a lot of emotion and tense. Overall, it was a kick-ass movie!

German Expressionism
The Germans had a very unique way to express their feelings through just a camera and a few cuts of film strips. They really were sort of addicted to making Terror Movies, Horror Movies, and well movies that will just shock you and soil your pants in some occasions. Some good examples would be Das Cabinet des Dr. Caligari, and Metropolis.
