“…Legendary European director Max Ophüls ' deeply moving, timeless film, considered his greatest and most successful American film but a film, unlike most Hollywood films. …. It demonstrates his lyrical, gliding camera movements, long tracking shots, atmospheric melancholy and romantic dialogue…”
As a basis in the film we see the anonymous letter detailing the tragic fate of Lisa Berndl (Joan Fontaine) as being read by Stefan Brand (Louis Jourdan) the letter and begins: “By the time you read this letter, I may be dead . . . If this reaches you, you will know how I became yours when you didn’t know who I was or even that I existed.” What is written in Lisa’s letter is then dramatized starting almost twenty years earlier, where the then young teenage Lisa developed an obsession with Stefan, the pianist who lived in an apartment just across from hers.
The film can be seen to contain abstruse patterns of repetitions and variations, motifs, echoes, themes and refrains. Like a musical score,

A banal example of such imitation can be found when Stefan talks to the porter: “Who is it?” – “Brand” – “Good morning, Mr. Brand”, which happens three times. Other frequencies in dialogue function like motifs and variations. Stefan mentions numerous times that he hardly knows Lisa: “I know so little about you”; “I know almost nothing about you”. He suggests that Lisa knows him more than he knows himself: “How long have you been hiding in my piano?”; “You know far too much about me already”. Stefan’s memory is also a recurrent theme throughout the film: “I’ve seen you somewhere, I know”; “I’ve seen you before”. To us, those words appear like meaningless pick-up lines, however Stefan’s urgency implies an honest internal restlessness, hence adding to the intricacy of the

In Mademoiselle miss’s letter, she repeatedly describes the environment conditions as ‘impressive.’ For example, she states that “Every one feels the impressiveness of a military funeral, but it is tenfold more impressive if you take part in it”. In other words, the environment was full of tension and shock. Also, she uses words such as mossy, old and rusty crepe, which are descriptive to the reader visualizing the atmosphere and the activities near the trenches. In source B, the propaganda is aimed towards recruiting women to munition factories.
Within this essay I shall conduct a comparison between two different films those being The Shawshank Redemption (1997, dir. Frank Darabont) an American film about young convict Andy Dufresne (Tim Robbins) and the decades of his life inside the prison of Shawshank alongside Ellis Boyd ‘Red’ Redding (Morgan Freeman) and comparing it to the French film, Amelie also known as La fabuleux destin d’Amelie Poulain (2001, Dir. Jean-Pierre Jeunet) which details the life of the title character Amelie as she goes about her life trying to help others around her. From first observations one would probably be confused at the selection of films being used for comparison since both films appear to be completely different on the surface, one is a Romantic comedy whilst the second is a Crime/Drama film. However after several viewings of both films, similarities started to appear which weren’t noticed from the first viewing of these films which peaked interest in writing about how these two completely different films are actually quite similar to one another, indeed they have their differences which will also be expressed and these differences also play a vital part in making these films individual mediums.
Taking many aspects of Wagner, the film becomes a game of musical remembrance of characters, situations, feelings, elements that constitute its own universe and that propelled the success of the series through

muse of Truffaut and will also be the main protagonist of A Gorgeous Girl Like Me where she plays a transgressive and violently playful young woman who will experience love as deeply connected to death and she is also the comic relief. In order to achieve her dream to be an artist of song, a singer she has to go through life the hard way. Our film absolutely delightfully drenched in light approaches the theme of the discovery of love through the eyes of children. There are very cinematic experiences here made by the children, cinema comes from the word kinetic which means movement. Through the actions of the children, he deconstructs the cinema.

As the movie progresses, Mozart transforms and his personality grows to fit his great musical
For example, on slide no. 13, the voiceover is a critical and supposed humorous commentary, whereby the narrator asks the audience what is the result of “2 + 2”. This allusion to the novel 1984, is expressed with a sardonic tone, clutching the audience, as it subliminally detracts them from the content of the slide, increasing their attentiveness. Furthermore, the fact that metaphoric images have been selected on slides no. “8 & 5”, to demonstrate the values each composer holds, remarkably contributes to one’s understanding, substituting the typical lengthy analyses, to imaginative visual dissections. In this way, these visual images, including the elephant and butterfly hybrid, and the mechanical human, comprehensively reinforce one’s understanding of the significance of context, purpose and audience, in an interactive and unique
In “The Purloined Letter”, Poe uses a reference to a children’s game involving marbles to describe the way Dubin solved the mystery of the letter. The concept of the game involved a child putting an amount of marbles in his hand, closing it, and asking his opponent “are they even or odd?” The opponent will guess, and if it is correct, they gain a marble, and if they are incorrect, the lose a marble. One of the “masters” of this game used a special technique to guarantee his winning. He accomplished this by mimicking the thoughts he supposed his opponent would be having.

Some similarities the movie and play share are the characters. They are all the same.
Some of the most recognized aspects of the film were Mozart’s laugh and his outbursts, which correspond to the belief that he might have had Tourette’s Syndrome. These scandalous aspects and vile tendencies made Mozart the “perfect” pop star of the eighteenth
Weirdly enough, part of the immersion we want from a film is to make us not notice we are seeing a film. We like getting into its fictional world and looking through the characters’ eyes in a way that feels natural, even in the wildest and craziest stories. When we talk about great films, we get into abstract territory: technical, original, controversial, or just fun. Entertainment is key, and while a lot of times comedies lack deep characters and are filled with generic storylines and clichés, writer/director Wes Anderson comes to prove us all wrong. He presents his story in a way that it lets you know you are watching a work of fiction, more in the fashion of a moving painting than traditional film some might say.
