FEAR/And Then There Were None

The cinematic key hole scene is very interesting. It's interesting in a speculative way as it is on a complex level. Someone starts off the scene sneaking a peak through a key hole at the person he's conversing with. While this is happening someone is watching the person being impartial ruining the person he's conversing with privacy. There's also someone else watching the third person, and as the person in the room seemingly unaware of being watched leaves his room and follows the path of what he can tell is of another; the one watching him follows and they all act according to the one they have had their eyes on up until the point when the last one who loses his tag along questions them all. It's a feeling that I would describe as humorous and slightly irritating. The likeliness of that happening often I imagine being dim. The secrecy having hoped to be kept or the awareness of surrounding being faulted while snooping leading up to the breaking point(moment when being caught) in its wholesome is appreciated for its sequence of events, timing, cuts, subjectiveness, objectiveness, as well as its arkward humour. The arkward humor has been tapped from watching what I now know to be absurdism. I youtubed, 'theatre of the absurd' and found a cool, interesting video where a Professor taking on the form of another gives his explaining of absurdism to a student who's also in the form of another. The Professor uses his own knowledge to explain absurdism and afterwards the student gives her input in a slightly oblique way. She inquisitively tells him to get to the base of what absurdism is by asking a question subsequently given an answer. The Professor speaks on what may be the transcending factors that come with the term in length. The student when mentioning facts about absurdism tells about its sense of apparent paranoia, loose language, and institutions of fear, and what not said. After viewing the youtube video I associate the arkward, irritating fear to be what both the Professor and the student describe absurdism to be. The Professor somewhat says the disconnection to some parts of life leads to joy that is brought about through it's loose, chaotic, and wild diversity. This scene reminds me of tone of arsenic and old lace with all of its busyness and commotion. I'd like to know whether if experiencing absurdism rarely, matters when it comes to feeling irritated. I think it doesn't yet I wouldn't want to or need to know.

and then there were none movie

While viewing this movie I saw two scene that made me think. one where the judge is found to be the culprit. The judge then explains to Vera about the reason he killed everyone in the house ;Viewing it as justice. I see it as anti-hero step or as being a vigilante. In the judge's own mind he thinks what he is doing is right and getting rid of the dangerous element. Second rogers the butler the comic relief I see him a sad figure troubled past and people assuming he's dumb. Rogers reminds me of Charlie Chaplin downtrotten figure with a comedic tone.

Tongue

While Prof. Talbird was reading the passage out loud, I noticed something very particular. Through the expanse of the novel, the characters are constantly consuming tongue. Beyond, the necessary nourishment tongue provides, it also serves as symbolism. Tongue can be taken as symbolism for secrets. Each of these characters had a secret they consumed, whether it was personal or shared like the doctor that helped Wargrave pose as dead.

Vera Hanging Herself

I thought about this a little bit before writing this and coming up with new thoughts. Vera killing herself put myself in her shoes; as someone damned to pay for the cause of someone else's death. Vera lets a kid boy drown, I'm not sure if she couldn't swim or not so I'll rule out related thoughts that may sidetrack and confuse you. I thought about being in her position ready to kill myself. I thought to my self what would I do?! Will I kill myself because of the fact that I've indirectly killed somebody? I thought would I feel deserving of death as my consequence? Also I thought why would I kill myself and why not someone else kill me? And then I thought what would I do since I have been around so much deaths, would I be inclined to kill? Vera kills herself, that's clear. I wonder if those same questions or some similar went through her head before the kick of the chair.

And Then There Were None

As we finish up Christie's novel this week, I have some questions I'd like you to consider:

• What is the tone of the novel? I think you'll discover that, in addition to a fundamental change in the plot near the end of the film, that the entire tone is different. To prepare us to appreciate this tone--and to figure out how it was accomplished--I'd like us to define the tone of the novel before we screen the film.
• At the end of the book we learn--not just from Owen/Wargrave's confession, but also from the police inspectors' conversation in the Epilogue--that Wargrave wasn't guilty of sending an innocent man to his death. So the question arrises: Is Wargrave a villain? Is he evil? Why or why not?
• Why does Vera hang herself at the end? 

What questions do you have about the novel? 

Overview On Final Draft

As I previously stated in my last blog I thought that I would have had a lack of information being that I have not seen many traditional movies. My anxiety of not reaching my five page requirement soon came to an end after I scrolled through every movie on Netflix and HBO. With my three movies at hand I had no problem find other sources through the queens borough community college database. My idea of relating woman's dominance in the early twenties was one that came with an abundance of information to help me write in-depth. The two sources I found were perfect in a sense that not only did they help me produce information about topic but it was so specific to what I needed I couldn't ask for anything better. For example one of my sources does talk about the flappers in the roaring 20s, but it also explained how directors used that form of style in there movies. The woman carried themselves with the way they dressed and addressed individuals was all explained throughout many directors movies and films. 

"Arsenic and Old Lace"

To he quite honest as a spectator of the “Arsenic and Old Lace” I was completely mislead through my the entire showing. As Jonathan began to discover that his two harmless aunts are the reason why there is a dead body in the window trunk. I began to believe that the two woman took part in the cemetery services. There was something in my mind that wouldn't allow me to accept that two old woman were murders of over 12 individuals. I was not able to categorize them as being murders or "Bad" human beings. As the movie progressed and as Jonathan's brother was introduced I for one would have no problem believing he killed a couple of people himself. The way he carried himself for the get go as he snuck into his family house, to the way he talked to individuals put no doubt in my mind that he was a cold blood killer. As law  enforcement got involved the two woman would have need to explain themselves on why there were 12 bodies in there basement. I kept thinking to myself I hop everyone is smart enough to blame it all on Jonathan's brother being that he is already accused of murdering 12 people around the world, and he has brought another victim with him. No one would have gotten wrongfully convicted and everyone could have gone back to there Daily routines.
