Sixth Sense Movie
... Willis. Early on in the story is attacked by a former patient. The experience leaves him traumatized, and lost. Something inside him has died. Dr. Crow feels the only way to redeem himself for failing to help that former patient is to somehow find a way to help Cole. Wearing in a dull gray suit, he brings a sadness to his character’s detachment that supports the entire production.
The movie The Sixth Sense is made in a very unconventional way. The end really changes the sequence of the movie. The end of the movie finally makes the whole movie understandable. There is a very strange flow in the sequence of the plot. In my opinion, the very last scene should ...

Harlem Renaissance
... LeRoy Locke was considered the leader and chief interpreter of the . His efforts to debunk race-based myths of the inherent intellectual, social, and spiritual inferiority of African-Americans that emerged in the post Reconstruction era are thought to be some of his greatest accomplishments. He sought to destroy commonly held myths through his writings and by identifying, selecting and promoting a talented group of well-educated African-Americans to become leaders and role models in their communities. To achieve greater understanding and harmony between the two races, Locke declared that "...there is a growing realization that in social effort the cooper ...

My Darling Clementine - The Ef
... clouds, green grass, and birds singing would have no place in a seriously dramatic fantasy like Batman. It just would not fit. I think My Darling Clementine is different.
In this film the noir lighting style was effectively integrated into the story but for a much simpler purpose. Here in Clementine I think it's used merely as a pictorial element. A tool, to enhance a scene here and there with little relevance to the story line. This film did have very elaborate dark scenes but still not enough to put it under the label of noir as a whole. The difference is that here I belive that one of those "bright sunny day" sequences that I mentioned before would not look so ...

Breakdancing
... spinning, pivoting on the head and hands), "up-rock" (a mock-combat style, often directed against an opponent), and "webbo" (fast footwork between other dance moves). When spread to Los Angeles, California, dancers added the "electric boogie," automaton-like dance moves that incorporated pantomime. In the beginning, breakdancers adopted a confrontational attitude, as "crews" met each other in fake rumbles that often turned into real fights. Even peaceful displays resembled the competitive toasting of Bronx musicians in concurrently developing rap music.
Like other facets of the hip hop movement, met with commercial success and public notoriety in the early 1980s. ...

Ancient Japanese Art
... the exhibit at least twelve times before an hour had passed and I had to get going soon. I sat down by this rather sloppy scroll of a landscape and found it much more real than anything else there. I selected Along the Wu River. It was done by a man named Shen Zhou who was born in China in 1947 and died in 1509. I liked some of the pieces that were showcased on the floor, but this is the one that I found to be a little mysterious.
When I first saw this piece of work I questioned its value and just why it was in the museum because two feet away on either side of it were beautiful inkings and paintings. I looked back in the middle and found this piece of ...

The Decline Of The Plains Indians
... and the passing of the Dawes Act.
The first concentrated fighting broke out in Colorado, just after the Civil war. Government officials tried to force the Arapaho and Cheyenne from an area that had been granted to them ten years earlier. Warfare continued for three years until Black Kettle, Cheyenne chief, was trapped at Sand Creek in eastern Colorado. The militia ignored Black Kettle’s repeated attempts to surrender and killed men, women and children. This was the start of the many wars between Indians and the United States.
Although Plains Indians fought hundreds of battles from 1860 to 18890, their cause was doomed because they were dependent on the buffalo fo ...

Civil War
... individuals and families,
northerners and southerners, soldiers and civilians, slaves and slaveowners,
rich and poor, urban and rural.
Twenty years before Civil War started, South and North didn't have a good
relationship already and there were many issues that they didn't agree on each
other such as Clay's compromise, Fugitive slave act, Pottawatomie massacre, etc.
The Southern states supported slavery because the slave population held more
than 40 percent of the entire population and also they needed slavery for their
industrialization. Therefore, if they freed all the slaves, someone would
predict, many whites would have no jobs and many things would be up- ...

... ended under the shadow of the viet nam war, which deeply
divided americans and their allies and damaged the country's self-
confidence and sense of purpose.
Even if you weren't alive during the '60s, you know what they meant
when they said, "tune in, turn on, drop out." you know why the nation
celebrates Martin luther king, jr.'s birthday. all of the social issues
are reflected in today's society: the civil rights movement, the student
movement, space exploration, the sexual revolution, the environment,
medicine and health, and fun and fashion.
