Amelie Cultural Differences
As I re–watched the film, I noticed several cultural differences. Some of the cultural differences included: details, where they live, visuals, sound
effects (music), photos, and clothing.
This film includes many details, including a scene of a blue fly that was capable of flapping 70 beats a minute and landed in Montmartre. In a
restaurant, the wind made two glasses dance on a tablecloth, which led to show how Amelie was born. Those scenes weren't necessary, but in the
French culture they might have been because they value the littlest things. It also shows how life in France is. Being in France, I noticed that many
people go to the Cafe, where Amelie works, they also use telephone booths, and they all seem to live in apartments. Throughout the film, I ... Show

From what I saw, art is really important to them, there are pictures of art in many places during the film. I also noticed a lot of buildings and stairs.
As I kept watching the film, I realized that pictures are really important in their culture. Some examples include: Amelie taking pictures of shaped
clouds, Nino having an album of pictures that he finds, and Amelie finding a box that included important objects such as pictures and other materials.
The visual of Amelie taking pictures of shaped clouds shows how imagination plays a role in this film. I also noticed how important a garden gnome
was to Amelie's father. The gnome represented Amelie's father's dream of traveling. Soon, Amelie takes the gnome and sends it to other places of the
world, her father is sent pictures of the gnome traveling and soon decides to travel himself. Another cultural difference is the music, which is very
happy and sometimes even sounds romantic. Equally important, the clothes that most women wear including Amelie are a skirt with a blouse or t–shirt
and many of them have short hair. Lastly, this film didn't focus a lot on history, economics, or politics. The only part I noticed where it talked about

Stephane Grappelli Research Paper
StГ©phane Grappelli was a French jazz violinist who was known as "the grandfather of jazz violinists" because of his all–string jazz band that he had
begun/initiated in 1934. Grappelli was born on January 26, 1908 to Ernesto Grappelli and Anna Emilie Hanoque in Paris, France. While his father was
Italian, his mother was French. Grappelli's early years were quite unfortunate. His family was very poor. His mother died when he was four years old
which left him in the hands of his father, who was later drafted to fight for Italy in World War I. He spent much of his time as a child in orphanages
and boarding schools.
What's fascinating about Grappelli is that he was mostly self–taught when it came to music. He began practicing on club owners' house

The Gangster Film
The Gangster film is a genre that tells a story that can be universally appreciated. Formed in America there is a grand appeal to their methods and
composition. Gangster film has a certain formula, where any country can use its intrinsic convections, but it's also adaptable enough to conform with
any particular country's context without losing its inherent meaning. In French cinema following the Second World War, for example, there was a
visible shift that had French films shadow Hollywood's approach. Director Jean–Pierre Melville was one of the pioneers of the French crime movie. In
1956 his appreciation of the American gangster and film noir led way to "Bob le Flambeur". A film very American in its characteristics, but still
withholds a French aura about it.
The American features in "Bob le Flambeur" are hard to miss. In its settings, with its noir–like, sulky lighting and urban ambiance, the film provides
meaning with the characters' surroundings. Most urban city settings in gangster films support a type of community that breeds gangsters. ... Show more

Valadon In The Midst Of Uncertainty
The Rise of Valadon in the midst of Uncertainty Many historians have often contemplated what inspired Valadon to become an artist. Some critics even
ponder on how she obtained access to various art techniques without a strong academic background. She did not acquire a formal education after all
and she often gallivanted throughout the taverns of Montmartre. It was quite rare and peculiar for a woman with such social stigma to become a
well–rounded artist. It is commonly believed that Valadon started her modeling career in Montmartre at the tender age of 15. She modeled for ten
years for many prominent artists such as Pierre–CГ©cile Puvis de Chavannes, Pierre–Auguste Renoir, and Henri de Toulouse–Lautrec (Rose, 1999).

Paris Was Becoming The World 's Hub For Art Innovators
Beginning towards the end of the nineteenth century, Paris was becoming the world's hub for art innovators; a place that is widely regarded as the
birthplace of modern art. Artists of all disciplines, from sculptors to musicians, made their way to this city to pursue their passions in a community of
like–minded and passionate individuals. These artists came from all over the world, in a time before the world was made flat with commercial aviation.
Once they arrived, they often found themselves in suboptimal living conditions, sometimes even lacking running water. Despite these obstacles,
Montmartre, a hillside neighborhood on the north bank of Paris, managed to draw an impressive artistic crowd, and would eventually foster the birth of

This type of artistic suppression was happening all over the world in varying degrees. It drove many artists out of their homelands to places that were
more accepting of their artistic expression. Although Kandinsky didn't find himself in the company of the cubists of Montmartre, his story
demonstrates the artistic atmosphere of the world at the time. Many artists were eager to find a haven where they could freely express themselves in
the company of like–minded individuals, and to many of them, that place was Montmartre. Although there were certainly critics of modern artists
within Paris itself, their general response to the artistic pioneers was more akin to arrogant dismissal as opposed to the outright suppression of
places such as Russia. Another factor to consider is the somewhat overlooked economic theory of knowledge spillover. As described by Jane Jacobs
in the 1960's, it explains the obscure rise of particular industries in certain cities. This concept seeks to prescribe a name to the process of like–minded
individuals who live together in a community sharing ideas with each other in casual conversations and various other exchanges. Some examples
include the steel industry of Pittsburgh, the technology industry of San Francisco, and more pertinently, the art industry in Paris at the turn of the
twentieth century. The theory claims that innovations arise most quickly in areas

Pablo Picasso's Boy With A Pipe
Growing up I was infatuated with art, I love the creativity that a person could bring to any piece of work. While looking through many paintings, I
came across one that caught not only my eye, but many others. The name of this Painting is Boy with a Pipe, created by one of the greatest artist in
the world, Pablo Picasso. This representational painting was created in the year of 1905 when Picasso was 24 years old (Daluwatta). This Painting is
representational because, the oil that is on the canvas depicts a young white Persian boy who is holding a pipe in his left hand and also wearing
some type of headband of flowers around his head. Picasso lived in Le Bateau–Lavoir in Montmartre when he created this mister piece. Picasso called

The Lost Generation By F. Scott Fitzgerald
Loss, wastefulness, and regret are not words that anyone wants to hear. While reading the works of F. Scott Fitzgerald in "Babylon Revisited" and of
Ernest Hemingway in "The Snows of Kilimanjaro" these three words seem to connect to two stories together. In these stories loss, wastefulness, and
regret intertwine in the stories to better explain the struggles that people have to deal with. Both Fitzgerald and Hemingway were part of what is called
the Lost Generation. The Lost Generation was a group of American writes who moved to Europe because they believed that America had lost all hope
and could never be fixed. In the "Lost Generation" by Kate O' Connor, she says that, "The accusation, 'You are all a lost generation,' referred to the lack
of purpose or drive resulting from the horrific disillusionment felt by those who grew up and lived through the war, and were then in their twenties and
thirties. Having seen pointless death on such a huge scale, many lost faith in traditional values like courage, patriotism, and masculinity." The aftermath
caused these ex–pats to write about common themes such as, "Decadence, Gender roles and Impotence, and Idealized past" (O'Connor). As audiences
read stories written during the twentieth century, they will be able to see these themes. "Babylon Revisited" by Fitzgerald, is an example of the
twentieth century sense of loss, wastefulness, and regret because Charlie had to deal with all of those problems. The reader sees this

AmГ©lie: The New Wave
During the French New Wave, many critics became the moviemakers. One of the main qualities of the New Wave were the casual looks of the films.
In addition, the New Wave also used a large amount of camera movements. The film AmГ©lie is inspired by the French New Wave and uses its distinct
characteristics throughout the movie. In the film AmГ©lie, director Jean–Pierre Jeunet uses skillful directing, lighting, editing, and form to achieve
themes such as innocence and happiness. Jean–Pierre Jeunet is able to maintain the themes, simplicity and happiness, with strong directing. Having
strong directing allows the components of the mise en scene to be coherent throughout the film. As a foundation, Jeunet develops a setting to help
emphasize AmГ©lie's ... Show more content on Helpwriting.net ...
Editing allows the director to make the themes of the film appear clearly and correctly during a film. This is achieved through elements such as,
montage, time manipulation, and shot design. In AmГ©lie, the director uses montage to further advance the narrative of the story. In addition,
montage can be used to help build character traits. For example, in the scene where AmГ©lie asks the question, "How many couples are having an
orgasm now?" the director uses montage sequences to evoke humor. Using this montage helps to develop AmГ©lie's character traits while also building
upon the themes of the movie. In addition to montage, time manipulation also helps the director further advance the story. An example of time
manipulation shown in the film is the scene where AmГ©lie is cutting the letters in to pieces incredibly fast. There are two main purposes for the
director doing this: first, to shorten the amount of time this task takes to complete and, second, to help the audience gain insight into AmГ©lie's
character. In order to make the montage and time manipulations more effective in the film, shot design is important. Throughout the film, Jeunet
consistently uses close–up shots and zoom shots. These shots are effective because it enhances the audience's experience and draws their focus towards
the characters emotion. In AmГ©lie, understanding the emotions of the characters is important to the story. This is because AmГ©lie expresses
herself more with her nonverbal language than her verbal language. In particular, AmГ©lie speaks mostly through her eyes and other facial
expressions. Another important aspect of editing in AmГ©lie is the widespread use of Computer–Generated Images (CGI), which can be seen in every
scene of the film. A unique usage of CGI in the film is the scene where AmГ©lie turns to liquid in the middle of the cafГ©. These special effects help

Art Appreciation: The Reflection Of The Art Of Art
Art Appreciation It's fun to see art evolve and how it is very different from the art we see today. As much as I really like all the art movements due to
their unique and individual styles and techniques, ALL of them really stand out to me and I enjoy looking at them. Impressionism is one of my
favorite movements. It was an artistic movement that originated in France in the 1860s and 1870s. In addition, it introduced the new technique of 'En
plein air', where artists paint outside in order to capture the effects of natural light. They paint what they see. The artwork isn't as perfect as the
Renaissance period (Not that I wished it was from that time. It's just that the fact that the figures painted/sculpted were supposed to look 'perfect' was
just ridiculous–to me, of course) and the style is definitely different from the periods before. Colors are applied side–by–side with as little mixing as
possible, to making the color appear more vivid to the viewer. Like, it may look messy up close due to the hurried brush stokes, but from afar they're
just beautiful and look very detailed. Famous artists from that time are as follows: Monet, Renoir, Pissarro, Degas, Sisley, Touluse–Lautrec, etc. What I

This movement lasted from just about 1905 to 1920 and spread throughout Europe. Vincent van Gogh, Edvard Munch, and James Ensor were the ones
who influenced the rules of this particular movement and inspired many Expressionist painters. In an artwork, the distortion of form and the use of
strong colors shows what the artist wants you to feel as you look at the painting. Expressionist artists often used swirling, swaying, and 'exaggeratedly
executed' brushstrokes in the portrayal of their subjects. The objective of an Expressionist artist is to show EMOTION through the painting, which–to

Memo: Decorating the New Office Space With Artwork
Re: Decorating the new office space Dear Mr. X: Now that the renovation of our new office is complete, it is time to consider furnishing the new
space with works of art that reflect the spirit of the company and the ethos we wish to communicate to new clients. When walking into our
organization's headquarters, we want people to gain a sense of tranquility and confidence. No matter how stressed they might feel, we want them to
know that the partners at our law firm can handle their concerns. An image of nurturing and competence is an ideal first 'scene' for them to be
greeted by, which is why I would suggest a painting by Mary Cassatt. The Impressionist Cassatt was one of the few women painters of her era.
Although women were often the subject of paintings, they more rarely found their way behind the canvas. Showcasing a women's work of art would
also underline the firm's commitment to equality and diversity, important cornerstones of our philosophy. Cassatt's Mother Combing Her Child's Hair
shows a mother tenderly caring for her child. Its study of light and shadow and focus on a naturalistic domestic scene is characteristic of
Impressionism. The subject and the treatment are soothing and generous, and will convey a sense of peace to clients. Another Impressionist work
which is similarly calming is that of Claude Monet's The Japanese Footbridge. Monet's 1899 study of the footbridge (which he painted on many

Although the features are exaggerated, this is a scene we can all relate to, and also one that most individuals feel comfortable and at ease with. This
sky keeps the viewer's eyes moving about the painting, following the curves and creating a visual dot to dot with the stars. This movement keeps the

Rue Cortot, Montmartre, is a great example of impressionism because of its bright colors and lifelike details. Upon first viewing this painting, the

Additionally, the viewer's eyes are first taken to the two men having a conversation in what looks to be the woods. These men are oblivious to
anything that is going on around them as they are both engaged in a conversation together. In the information listed next to this painting in the
Carnegie Museum of Art, the two men are believed to be Claude Monet and Alfred Sisley, both of which are famous Impressionist painters, or the two
men are also believed to be Monet and Renoir, himself. The neglect of the beauty that is right in front of the men is still comparable to today's era.
People often focus on materialistic beauty rather than the natural beauty that is right in front of them. As stated earlier, the claw–like branch is
symbolic of nature consistently trying to wow humankind by reaching out and grabbing its attention.

Cultural Impact Of The Harlem Renaissance
The Harlem Renaissance showed a bizarre cultural change that helped the image of Africans around the world. The Renaissance's purpose was to
project the rebirth of the African American arts. Though, it originally wasn't known as the Harlem Renaissance, but instead called the Negro
Renaissance by Alain Locke. It all started with a insane migration of African Americans traveling north to pursue a new future for themselves and their
families. With Harlem being the focus of where most of the African American migrate to, it also became where the America's culture shifted. The
Harlem Renaissance removed the old views of how blacks are supposed to be treated as slaves and gave them a way to show that they aren't that
different compared to other races.
Jazz was the creation of the combination of African rhythm and the European harmony. It was popular enough to bring the attention of the whites
towards the African American community. Soon enough, people of all backgrounds were willing to cross into the Harlem community to enjoy the
exotic music jazz provides. With it's insane popularity, the term "New Negro" was created where the black cultural community was able to establish a
connection with New York's artistic mainstream. Hence it assisted in breaking down the stereotype barrier that once separated the white and black
community since the founding of the United States. Joel Augustus Rogers, a journalist, believed that along with poetry, music was one of the fine arts
that penetrated the soul and bring out all the richness and sincerity of the man (Asukile 24). However, the information of jazz did not become popular
until Rogers wrote Jazz at Home. For that reason Rogers stated, "Locke included it in The New Negro (1925), which became the cultural landmark
anthology of the Harlem Renaissance" (Asukile 23).
The popularity of jazz raised in the white community when Paul Whiteman introduced jazz orchestra to them. Paul Whiteman's ability to take the best
improvisations of jazz and coordinate it to jazz orchestra gave him the title "King of Jazz" by white critics. Yet, Whiteman had declined the title for
"King of Jazz". Whiteman believed that jazz was a African–American invention and he did not have the ability to

Surrealism And Andre Breton, The Founder Of Surrealism
A cultural movement that emerged in the early 1920's, Surrealism started as a literal movement but evolved into something much more. Best known for
it's dreamlike scenes of irrational and often surprising substance, the movement spoke to the unconscious mind of humankind with the semiotic balance
between reality and fiction. Artists of this era turned and merged everyday objects into contradictory and irrational works of art, giving rise to new
forms of thought and creation (Mikos, 2013). Andre Breton, the founder of surrealism was inspired by Sigmund Freud's view of the unconscious mind
and how this information could shape society. Salvador Dali, a surrealist artist, challenged the conventional mind, and set an example to as the ever
changing reality; as seen through his abstract perception of nature and time. Post WW1, where society was evidently changing; Breton became the
founder of the surrealist movement, while Dali was a pioneer in the abstract styles of surrealism. Culturally, this movement directly impacted
individuals identity, ritualistic beliefs, status and the way in which art was performed and presented. Many still question why this is relevant today, as
this form and movement was a pinnacle turning point for art as we know it today; creating and changing the 'norm' to something farfetched but still
seemingly realistic and possible.
The semiotic value during this time frame had a significant impact on the way society as a whole viewed the world at large. It

Pablo Picasso was born in Malaga in 1881. Pablo was the son of a respected art teacher, and due to his father's influence, young Pablo entered the

His work, "Two Nudes" reflects this attitude.
Cubism soon followed after this. Picasso began experimenting with the many facets of Cubism. Cubism was developed in stages: analytic, synthetic,
hermetic, and rococo. These techniques were not only useful in painting but in collages as well. Picasso met Eva Marcelle Humbert, and fell in love
with her but the war separated them and she died in 1915. Picasso worked on "Harlequin" to cope with the grief of his lost friend.
In 1917, Picasso involved himself with Diaghilev's Russian Ballet. He worked on costume and set design for Parade(1917) and while all this was
going on Picasso met his future bride, Olga Kokhloven, who was a dancer for the ballet. The Ballet gave him inspiration for his next work, "Three
Dancers". Then something dreadful happened, a small Spanish town became a test site for some new bombs. Picasso's work, the "Guernica"
demonstrates the horror, cruelty, and injustice that took place. On a greater scale, not only does it provide compassion for those lost at Guernica,
but it also illustrates how useless and horrible war truly is. Following that, Picasso became director of the Prado Gallery in Madrid. World War II
blazed on while Picasso worked in Paris and he worked diligently despite the world around him.

These two artists shared an interest for science behind color and perception, so Signac worked with Seurat to create a painting style that used optical
effects. (Paul Signac) They applied small dabs of colors closely together on canvas, using various shades that appeared to merge from a distance. Using
pointillism, Signac created two paintings that became very popular, one of which, was called "Breakfast in the Dining Room" (Meyer). This painting
was actually based on his own family, and it featured his mother, grandfather and housekeeper. The figures present at the lunch table appear to be in
silence. It portrays a family that lacks interaction and a feeling of home.
Signac's style was very similar to his good friend, Georges Seurat. For example, Signac's oil painting "Breakfast in the Dining Room" appears to
look like Seurat's "Sunday in the Park on the Island of Grande Jatte".(Jackson) Signac based this pinwheel design on a Japanese print, but replaced it
with his own colors and patterns to represent himself. Till this day, it is still a mystery as to why Signac drew this, but it is rumored that both Seurat

Comparison Between Impressionism And Post Impressionism
Art is the best way humans can express their thoughts and realities. Many people do not see art in a linear fashion; whether a painting is from the
1800s or the 1900s many people would consider them the same. Art has gone through many changes since its conception many millennia ago. Due to
this, one cannot scrutinize all of the art movements in the same fashion. Two of art's largest movements, Impressionism and Post–Impressionism, are
commonly lumped together in the same category. Although these movements are very similar in name, they have distinct characteristics that set them
apart. However, they also have some aspects in common. The Impressionist art movement took place between the years 1874 and 1886. At the time this
movement was birthed, the majority of high–end art being made was made in a super realistic and classical way. The Salon, a place in France where
art was displayed, only accepted this kind of art. The Salon was ran by the French government and all art placed in it had to be approved. The
Impressionists were always refused due to them not painting about significant figures in the government or of the church. Impressionists painted about
ordinary people doing ordinary things alongside landscapes and taboo topics. The Salon did not only refuse them because of this but also because
Impressionists did not paint in an ultra–realistic manner. Claude Monet is one of the most recognizable painters in the Impressionist movement and one

Moulin Rouge Analysis
Additionally, the film is a love song to spectacle, to all forms of spectacle, including cabaret, opera, musical comedy, dance, to theater, and, of course,

numbers for Moulin Rouge! that serve to amaze the audience." The can–can dance is a flurry of legs and petticoats thrown up in the air, edited with a
fast pace to convey the excitement Christian is feeling when he enters the Moulin Rouge. These elements successfully elicit the filmmaker's desired
emotion within me. When Satine first appears in the film during her burlesque routine, the crowd is in awe, staring up at her like she is an angel
coming down from heaven. When she performs in the Moulin Rouge, the crowd instantly recognizes her and cheers. Their reactions give the film's
audience an idea of how to feel about Satine and how to react when we see her come onscreen. As the audience cheers, I too found myself wanting to
cheer for her. Therefore, I feel I enjoyed these scenes as the movie literally queued how I should respond. I feel these well placed queues heighten my
enjoyment, especially during the ensemble numbers and the comedic scenes. On the topic of spectacle, the film appeals to me due to the how it
conforms to the musical genre. Throughout their history, musicals are most often conceived as "pure entertainment." Furthermore, according to

Pablo Picasso : Family Of Saltimbanques During The Rose...
From the time periods of late1904 to early 1906, Pablo Picasso, one of the most renowned oil painters in history, explored the theme of
Saltimbanques upon his canvas medium during his famous Rose Period. Previously, Picasso suffered from depression, which resulted in the era
known as the Blue Period, but in 1904, Picasso met Fernande Olivier, who some speculate was the transition from his Blue Period to Rose Period.
During the Rose Period, Picasso's used of warm color oil paints, primarily pink, highlighted the artistic style of Saltimbanques as he depicted circus
performers, harlequins, and acrobats that he observed when living in France. For much of his artwork, "Picasso's eye would also require the
stimulus of a visual experience," and for him, the idea of being visually stimulated by circuses, caught his attention. In order to gather inspiration,
Picasso would frequently visit the Cirque MГ©drano in Montmartre so that both his mind and eyes could be visually stimulated. As his infatuation
with Saltimbanques increased, he dedicated a series to them and in 1905, he created his most famous painting of the Rose Period "Family of
Saltimbanques." This painting, standing at 7x8 ft, was considered to be the biggest painting ever produced by Picasso. Using these influences,

What is important to consider is what is missing from this representation of the city. Jean–Pierre Jeunet is the director of the film, he is quoted as
saying, "I wanted to make a fake Paris, a very nice Paris, like in my head when I was twenty and I arrived in Paris for the first time. I wanted to
avoid the bad things: traffic jams, dog shit on the street, the rain" (Portegies, 2010, p. 55). What AmГ©lie projects is simply a cinematic version of
Paris (Durham, 2008, p. 178). Jeunet was criticized for this depiction of Paris, "which appeared to erase, as if by magic, all traces of graffiti, crime,
pollution, and social unrest" (Ezra, 2004, p. 301). The film's setting used more than eighty separate locations, and is, "so vetted and filtered that the
manufactured Paris–scape resembles little more than a sustained advertisement for a traditional French product" (Portegies, 2010, p. 56). This
romanticized version of Paris is then exacerbated by the traditionally associated French clichГ©s which are present throughout the film. Thus,
AmГ©lie seeks to contrast the dark and gritty imaginings of the city and instead make it an attractive place to be. Jeunet's contemporary Paris, creates

In 1896, his first large oil painting "The first Communion" was exhibited in Barcelona. The year after, he painted "Science and Charity" and
received an honorable mention in Madrid at the national exhibition of fine art and a gold medal in a competition in Malaga. It is important to note
that at that point he was only 16 years old. His visits to museums became very important in this first period of his career, because like many other
modern artists, Picasso had his "classicism period" when he tried to imitate the style of the old masters. He also met someone who would become one
of his best friends and his secretary, the poet Sabartes. The new atmosphere made the young artist abandon his classic style and start a period of
searching and encountering new experiences in his career.
During this period, Picasso expressed his idea that an art student should not be obligated to follow any already established school, but should be free
to explore his or her own styles and ideas. This search for change caused deterioration in his relationship with his parents who could not accept his
interest in modern art.
In 1900, during this search period, Picasso moved to the city that was the major artistic center, Paris, where he

Picasso's Family Of Saltimbanques
Suggestive of a covert portrait of Picasso and his group, the poverty and isolation in Family of Saltimbanques (La Famille de Saltimbanques) is clearly
evident. Picasso frequented the Cirque MГ©drano in Montmartre and greatly admired the performers. For Picasso, the wandering saltimbanques (a
kind of circus performer) represented the neglected lower class, whom he must have identified with as an avant–garde artist. Picasso and the
saltimbanques had to work hard and strove for recognition in spite of being outsiders, practicing their trades their entire lives. Fully integrating himself
in his work, the setting is reminiscent of Picasso's homeland, Spain. The desolate landscape background, empty except for the figures, serves as a stark
reminder

Cultural Differences in Amelie Film Visuals Clothing

  • 1. Amelie Cultural Differences As I re–watched the film, I noticed several cultural differences. Some of the cultural differences included: details, where they live, visuals, sound effects (music), photos, and clothing. This film includes many details, including a scene of a blue fly that was capable of flapping 70 beats a minute and landed in Montmartre. In a restaurant, the wind made two glasses dance on a tablecloth, which led to show how Amelie was born. Those scenes weren't necessary, but in the French culture they might have been because they value the littlest things. It also shows how life in France is. Being in France, I noticed that many people go to the Cafe, where Amelie works, they also use telephone booths, and they all seem to live in apartments. Throughout the film, I ...

As I kept watching the film, I realized that pictures are really important in their culture. Some examples include: Amelie taking pictures of shaped clouds, Nino having an album of pictures that he finds, and Amelie finding a box that included important objects such as pictures and other materials. The visual of Amelie taking pictures of shaped clouds shows how imagination plays a role in this film. I also noticed how important a garden gnome was to Amelie's father. The gnome represented Amelie's father's dream of traveling. Soon, Amelie takes the gnome and sends it to other places of the world, her father is sent pictures of the gnome traveling and soon decides to travel himself. Another cultural difference is the music, which is very happy and sometimes even sounds romantic. Equally important, the clothes that most women wear including Amelie are a skirt with a blouse or t–shirt and many of them have short hair. Lastly, this film didn't focus a lot on history, economics, or politics. The only part I noticed where it talked about ... Get more on HelpWriting.net ...
  • 2. Stephane Grappelli Research Paper StГ©phane Grappelli was a French jazz violinist who was known as "the grandfather of jazz violinists" because of his all–string jazz band that he had begun/initiated in 1934. Grappelli was born on January 26, 1908 to Ernesto Grappelli and Anna Emilie Hanoque in Paris, France. While his father was Italian, his mother was French. Grappelli's early years were quite unfortunate. His family was very poor. His mother died when he was four years old which left him in the hands of his father, who was later drafted to fight for Italy in World War I. He spent much of his time as a child in orphanages and boarding schools. What's fascinating about Grappelli is that he was mostly self–taught when it came to music. He began practicing on club owners' house ... Get more on HelpWriting.net ...
  • 3. The Gangster Film The Gangster film is a genre that tells a story that can be universally appreciated. Formed in America there is a grand appeal to their methods and composition. Gangster film has a certain formula, where any country can use its intrinsic convections, but it's also adaptable enough to conform with any particular country's context without losing its inherent meaning. In French cinema following the Second World War, for example, there was a visible shift that had French films shadow Hollywood's approach. Director Jean–Pierre Melville was one of the pioneers of the French crime movie. In 1956 his appreciation of the American gangster and film noir led way to "Bob le Flambeur". A film very American in its characteristics, but still withholds a French aura about it. The American features in "Bob le Flambeur" are hard to miss. In its settings, with its noir–like, sulky lighting and urban ambiance, the film provides meaning with the characters' surroundings. Most urban city settings in gangster films support a type of community that breeds gangsters. ... Show more content on Helpwriting.net ... Even in clothing style they wear trench coats and fedoras, trademarks of the American gangster. The characters however similar to American gangsters, share different roles than in typical American gangster films. It gives the audience a different perspective than American film would; with its normal gangster taking over the business. Instead "Bob le Flambeur" follows main character Bob, who is based on the crime boss, but in the film is one that is retired and respected by most. He has Paolo as his trusted mentee, who fills the role as the ordinary gangster who is trying to work his way up the ranks of a gang. And Anne is somewhat based on the femme fatale, the beautiful, seductive woman who brings disaster to any man who gets involved with her and does so ultimately ruining the lives of every man she knows in the ...

  • 4. Valadon In The Midst Of Uncertainty The Rise of Valadon in the midst of Uncertainty Many historians have often contemplated what inspired Valadon to become an artist. Some critics even ponder on how she obtained access to various art techniques without a strong academic background. She did not acquire a formal education after all and she often gallivanted throughout the taverns of Montmartre. It was quite rare and peculiar for a woman with such social stigma to become a well–rounded artist. It is commonly believed that Valadon started her modeling career in Montmartre at the tender age of 15. She modeled for ten years for many prominent artists such as Pierre–CГ©cile Puvis de Chavannes, Pierre–Auguste Renoir, and Henri de Toulouse–Lautrec (Rose, 1999). She was also known ...

  • 5. Paris Was Becoming The World 's Hub For Art Innovators Beginning towards the end of the nineteenth century, Paris was becoming the world's hub for art innovators; a place that is widely regarded as the birthplace of modern art. Artists of all disciplines, from sculptors to musicians, made their way to this city to pursue their passions in a community of like–minded and passionate individuals. These artists came from all over the world, in a time before the world was made flat with commercial aviation. Once they arrived, they often found themselves in suboptimal living conditions, sometimes even lacking running water. Despite these obstacles, Montmartre, a hillside neighborhood on the north bank of Paris, managed to draw an impressive artistic crowd, and would eventually foster the birth of ... Show more content on Helpwriting.net ... This type of artistic suppression was happening all over the world in varying degrees. It drove many artists out of their homelands to places that were more accepting of their artistic expression. Although Kandinsky didn't find himself in the company of the cubists of Montmartre, his story demonstrates the artistic atmosphere of the world at the time. Many artists were eager to find a haven where they could freely express themselves in the company of like–minded individuals, and to many of them, that place was Montmartre. Although there were certainly critics of modern artists within Paris itself, their general response to the artistic pioneers was more akin to arrogant dismissal as opposed to the outright suppression of places such as Russia. Another factor to consider is the somewhat overlooked economic theory of knowledge spillover. As described by Jane Jacobs in the 1960's, it explains the obscure rise of particular industries in certain cities. This concept seeks to prescribe a name to the process of like–minded individuals who live together in a community sharing ideas with each other in casual conversations and various other exchanges. Some examples include the steel industry of Pittsburgh, the technology industry of San Francisco, and more pertinently, the art industry in Paris at the turn of the twentieth century.

While looking through many paintings, I came across one that caught not only my eye, but many others. The name of this Painting is Boy with a Pipe, created by one of the greatest artist in the world, Pablo Picasso. This representational painting was created in the year of 1905 when Picasso was 24 years old (Daluwatta). This Painting is representational because, the oil that is on the canvas depicts a young white Persian boy who is holding a pipe in his left hand and also wearing some type of headband of flowers around his head.

It looks like its being held by the artist outside the painting as he wonder about the image, although it's held by the model inside the painting.

  • 8. Characteristics Of The Post-Impressionist Paintings The three paintings that I chose from the 19th–century Impressionist are the self–portraits of Pierre Auguste Renoir, and Claude Monet reading a newspaper, and Camille Pissarro's Boulevard Montmartre. The Post–Impressionist paintings that I chose are A Lion Devouring its Prey by Henri Rousseau, In the Oise Valley by Paul Cezanne, and The Yellow Books by Vincent Van Gogh. The way that the first three pieces of art fall into the 19th–century Impressionist is that the some of the characteristics of their paintings were that they involved a slightly small, thin, but noticeable brush strokes. Moreover, they emphasize the depiction of light in its dynamic qualities, to accentuate the effects of the passage of time. The colors when employed were... Show more content on Helpwriting.net ...

The Boulevard Montmartre painting could be placed in the main entrance to the company to describe how the company started out years ago and how the city grew around the business and how it has improved the people around with growth and prosperity.

  • 12. The Lost Generation By F. Scott Fitzgerald Loss, wastefulness, and regret are not words that anyone wants to hear. While reading the works of F. Scott Fitzgerald in "Babylon Revisited" and of Ernest Hemingway in "The Snows of Kilimanjaro" these three words seem to connect to two stories together. In these stories loss, wastefulness, and regret intertwine in the stories to better explain the struggles that people have to deal with. Both Fitzgerald and Hemingway were part of what is called the Lost Generation. The Lost Generation was a group of American writes who moved to Europe because they believed that America had lost all hope and could never be fixed. In the "Lost Generation" by Kate O' Connor, she says that, "The accusation, 'You are all a lost generation,' referred to the lack of purpose or drive resulting from the horrific disillusionment felt by those who grew up and lived through the war, and were then in their twenties and thirties. Having seen pointless death on such a huge scale, many lost faith in traditional values like courage, patriotism, and masculinity." The aftermath caused these ex–pats to write about common themes such as, "Decadence, Gender roles and Impotence, and Idealized past" (O'Connor). As audiences read stories written during the twentieth century, they will be able to see these themes. "Babylon Revisited" by Fitzgerald, is an example of the twentieth century sense of loss, wastefulness, and regret because Charlie had to deal with all of those problems. The reader sees this ...

  • 13. AmГ©lie: The New Wave During the French New Wave, many critics became the moviemakers. One of the main qualities of the New Wave were the casual looks of the films. In addition, the New Wave also used a large amount of camera movements. The film AmГ©lie is inspired by the French New Wave and uses its distinct characteristics throughout the movie. In the film AmГ©lie, director Jean–Pierre Jeunet uses skillful directing, lighting, editing, and form to achieve themes such as innocence and happiness. Jean–Pierre Jeunet is able to maintain the themes, simplicity and happiness, with strong directing. Having strong directing allows the components of the mise en scene to be coherent throughout the film. As a foundation, Jeunet develops a setting to help emphasize AmГ©lie's ... Show more content on Helpwriting.net ... Editing allows the director to make the themes of the film appear clearly and correctly during a film. This is achieved through elements such as, montage, time manipulation, and shot design. In AmГ©lie, the director uses montage to further advance the narrative of the story. In addition, montage can be used to help build character traits. For example, in the scene where AmГ©lie asks the question, "How many couples are having an orgasm now?" the director uses montage sequences to evoke humor. Using this montage helps to develop AmГ©lie's character traits while also building upon the themes of the movie. In addition to montage, time manipulation also helps the director further advance the story. An example of time manipulation shown in the film is the scene where AmГ©lie is cutting the letters in to pieces incredibly fast. There are two main purposes for the director doing this: first, to shorten the amount of time this task takes to complete and, second, to help the audience gain insight into AmГ©lie's character. In order to make the montage and time manipulations more effective in the film, shot design is important. Throughout the film, Jeunet consistently uses close–up shots and zoom shots. These shots are effective because it enhances the audience's experience and draws their focus towards the characters emotion. In AmГ©lie, understanding the emotions of the characters is important to the story. This is because AmГ©lie expresses herself more with her nonverbal language than her verbal language. In particular, AmГ©lie speaks mostly through her eyes and other facial expressions. Another important aspect of editing in AmГ©lie is the widespread use of Computer–Generated Images (CGI), which can be seen in every scene of the film. A unique usage of CGI in the film is the scene where AmГ©lie turns to liquid in the middle of the cafГ©. These special effects help to further the film's sense of fantasy and ...

As much as I really like all the art movements due to their unique and individual styles and techniques, ALL of them really stand out to me and I enjoy looking at them. Impressionism is one of my favorite movements. It was an artistic movement that originated in France in the 1860s and 1870s. In addition, it introduced the new technique of 'En plein air', where artists paint outside in order to capture the effects of natural light. They paint what they see. The artwork isn't as perfect as the Renaissance period (Not that I wished it was from that time. It's just that the fact that the figures painted/sculpted were supposed to look 'perfect' was just ridiculous–to me, of course) and the style is definitely different from the periods before. Colors are applied side–by–side with as little mixing as possible, to making the color appear more vivid to the viewer. Like, it may look messy up close due to the hurried brush stokes, but from afar they're just beautiful and look very detailed. Famous artists from that time are as follows: Monet, Renoir, Pissarro, Degas, Sisley, Touluse–Lautrec, etc. What I love about... Show more content on Helpwriting.net ...

In an artwork, the distortion of form and the use of strong colors shows what the artist wants you to feel as you look at the painting. Expressionist artists often used swirling, swaying, and 'exaggeratedly executed' brushstrokes in the portrayal of their subjects.

  • 15. Memo: Decorating the New Office Space With Artwork Re: Decorating the new office space Dear Mr. X: Now that the renovation of our new office is complete, it is time to consider furnishing the new space with works of art that reflect the spirit of the company and the ethos we wish to communicate to new clients. When walking into our organization's headquarters, we want people to gain a sense of tranquility and confidence. No matter how stressed they might feel, we want them to know that the partners at our law firm can handle their concerns. An image of nurturing and competence is an ideal first 'scene' for them to be greeted by, which is why I would suggest a painting by Mary Cassatt. The Impressionist Cassatt was one of the few women painters of her era. Although women were often the subject of paintings, they more rarely found their way behind the canvas. Showcasing a women's work of art would also underline the firm's commitment to equality and diversity, important cornerstones of our philosophy. Cassatt's Mother Combing Her Child's Hair shows a mother tenderly caring for her child. Its study of light and shadow and focus on a naturalistic domestic scene is characteristic of Impressionism. The subject and the treatment are soothing and generous, and will convey a sense of peace to clients. Another Impressionist work which is similarly calming is that of Claude Monet's The Japanese Footbridge.

The Renaissance's purpose was to project the rebirth of the African American arts. Though, it originally wasn't known as the Harlem Renaissance, but instead called the Negro Renaissance by Alain Locke. It all started with a insane migration of African Americans traveling north to pursue a new future for themselves and their families. With Harlem being the focus of where most of the African American migrate to, it also became where the America's culture shifted. The Harlem Renaissance removed the old views of how blacks are supposed to be treated as slaves and gave them a way to show that they aren't that different compared to other races. Jazz was the creation of the combination of African rhythm and the European harmony. It was popular enough to bring the attention of the whites towards the African American community. Soon enough, people of all backgrounds were willing to cross into the Harlem community to enjoy the exotic music jazz provides. With it's insane popularity, the term "New Negro" was created where the black cultural community was able to establish a connection with New York's artistic mainstream. Hence it assisted in breaking down the stereotype barrier that once separated the white and black community since the founding of the United States. Joel Augustus Rogers, a journalist, believed that along with poetry, music was one of the fine arts that penetrated the soul and bring out all the richness and sincerity of the man (Asukile 24).

Artists of this era turned and merged everyday objects into contradictory and irrational works of art, giving rise to new forms of thought and creation (Mikos, 2013). Andre Breton, the founder of surrealism was inspired by Sigmund Freud's view of the unconscious mind and how this information could shape society.

Art has gone through many changes since its conception many millennia ago. Due to this, one cannot scrutinize all of the art movements in the same fashion. Two of art's largest movements, Impressionism and Post–Impressionism, are commonly lumped together in the same category. Although these movements are very similar in name, they have distinct characteristics that set them apart. However, they also have some aspects in common. The Impressionist art movement took place between the years 1874 and 1886. At the time this movement was birthed, the majority of high–end art being made was made in a super realistic and classical way. The Salon, a place in France where art was displayed, only accepted this kind of art. The Salon was ran by the French government and all art placed in it had to be approved. The Impressionists were always refused due to them not painting about significant figures in the government or of the church. Impressionists painted about ordinary people doing ordinary things alongside landscapes and taboo topics.

The blue and rose periods are the earlier artworks of Picasso, and La Vie, 1903 and Family of Saltimbanques, 1905 are the most representative artworks during each of these periods. The colors, movements and shape of the paintings have different meanings, which were influenced by events in Picasso's life.

He was a good friend to Picasso and he committed suicide by firing a bullet at his temple. As the artwork shows the woman with a sad and depressed look is leaning on the man's shoulder. He is wearing a white loincloth, symbol of a sexuality that proved impossible, as Casagemas was sexual impotence. They will remain infertile.

  • 31. Moulin Rouge Analysis Additionally, the film is a love song to spectacle, to all forms of spectacle, including cabaret, opera, musical comedy, dance, to theater, and, of course, film. As Stuckey points out, "the cabaret acts, especially the (in)famous can–can, but also the drama 'Spectacular Spectacular', provide frenetic musical numbers for Moulin Rouge! that serve to amaze the audience." The can–can dance is a flurry of legs and petticoats thrown up in the air, edited with a fast pace to convey the excitement Christian is feeling when he enters the Moulin Rouge. These elements successfully elicit the filmmaker's desired emotion within me. When Satine first appears in the film during her burlesque routine, the crowd is in awe, staring up at her like she is an angel coming down from heaven. When she performs in the Moulin Rouge, the crowd instantly recognizes her and cheers. Their reactions give the film's audience an idea of how to feel about Satine and how to react when we see her come onscreen. As the audience cheers, I too found myself wanting to cheer for her. Therefore, I feel I enjoyed these scenes as the movie literally queued how I should respond. I feel these well placed queues heighten my enjoyment, especially during the ensemble numbers and the comedic scenes. On the topic of spectacle, the film appeals to me due to the how it conforms to the musical genre. Throughout their history, musicals are most often conceived as "pure entertainment."

  • 32. Pablo Picasso : Family Of Saltimbanques During The Rose... From the time periods of late1904 to early 1906, Pablo Picasso, one of the most renowned oil painters in history, explored the theme of Saltimbanques upon his canvas medium during his famous Rose Period. Previously, Picasso suffered from depression, which resulted in the era known as the Blue Period, but in 1904, Picasso met Fernande Olivier, who some speculate was the transition from his Blue Period to Rose Period. During the Rose Period, Picasso's used of warm color oil paints, primarily pink, highlighted the artistic style of Saltimbanques as he depicted circus performers, harlequins, and acrobats that he observed when living in France. For much of his artwork, "Picasso's eye would also require the stimulus of a visual experience," and for him, the idea of being visually stimulated by circuses, caught his attention. In order to gather inspiration, Picasso would frequently visit the Cirque MГ©drano in Montmartre so that both his mind and eyes could be visually stimulated. As his infatuation with Saltimbanques increased, he dedicated a series to them and in 1905, he created his most famous painting of the Rose Period "Family of Saltimbanques." This painting, standing at 7x8 ft, was considered to be the biggest painting ever produced by Picasso. Using these influences, Picasso was able to create his most impressive works of the Rose Period, "Family of Saltimbanques."

There were also many other analogies in the books so far as a situation, plot, setting, etc. In the story The Murders of the Rue Morgue, which is a very mysterious story, the main action commences when the narrator and another man named C. Auguste Dupin meet together because they are seeking for the same book at an ambiguous library in Rue Montmartre. The two men read about a murder in a newspaper headline, then one night they're staying at a hotel and hear a shriek from about the fourth floor above them in which they call the cops in backlash to that. Once the cops had broken into the apartment, for the door was locked, they found what seemed to be a murder scene for all of the blood and the hair on the floor. The police officers and the other two men react to the scene of what seems to be death by acting concerned about finding what had happened and who it had happened to and who committed the crime.

Jean–Pierre Jeunet is the director of the film, he is quoted as saying, "I wanted to make a fake Paris, a very nice Paris, like in my head when I was twenty and I arrived in Paris for the first time. I wanted to avoid the bad things: traffic jams, dog shit on the street, the rain" (Portegies, 2010, p. 55). What AmГ©lie projects is simply a cinematic version of Paris (Durham, 2008, p. 178). Jeunet was criticized for this depiction of Paris, "which appeared to erase, as if by magic, all traces of graffiti, crime, pollution, and social unrest" (Ezra, 2004, p. 301). The film's setting used more than eighty separate locations, and is, "so vetted and filtered that the manufactured Paris–scape resembles little more than a sustained advertisement for a traditional French product" (Portegies, 2010, p. 56). This romanticized version of Paris is then exacerbated by the traditionally associated French clichГ©s which are present throughout the film. Thus, AmГ©lie seeks to contrast the dark and gritty imaginings of the city and instead make it an attractive place to be.

Serving to the treasurer's household (VelГЎzquez) at first, Ignatius injuries during the Battle of Pamplona fueled a period of reflection in which Ignatius placed his life at the feet of God. Traveling to Manresa after his recovery, Ignatius created the Spiritual Exercises to help others grow closer to God setting the stage for a new religious order. Pursuing this path, Ignatius received a well–rounded education from the University of Paris, attracting new followers, such as Peter Favre and Francis Xavier, and making plans to travel to the Holy Land. However, these plans were curtailed in the shadow of conflict at the Holy Land. Instead, the companions decided it was time to place themselves at the service of the Holy Father by means of the Society of Jesus with Ignatius delivering his first mass on Christmas Eve, 1538 in the Chapel of the Manger in Rome's Basilica of St. Mary Major, 18 months after his ordination into priesthood.

What specifically intrigued you and why are they important to tourism? How does a book like this prepare a tourist for their visit? Introduction Paris is a tantalizing place and Downie made it seem all the more so with his unique approach to describing it. It was quite difficult to select one specific place to explore since all seemed so tantalizing, but I eventually settled on the ГЋle de Saint Louis as being the most attractive location. Many of the subjects and locations covered by Downie tantalized me. These were not only the more famous locations and topics such as the Seine, the Place des Vosges, Coco Chanel, and Vincent van Gogh, but even more insignificant locations. Tantalizing too was what Downie called the Paris underneath Paris (I..e all of the tunnels, nooks, crannies, and catacombs which lie under the city proper),. Loving the sea and water in general, I was attracted to "The Boat People of the Seine," and would love to live (temporarily at least) amongst those who make their home and livelihoods on the pГ©niches (cargo–cum–houseboats) of Paris's waterways . Downie's chapter on "Night Walking" was equally attractive in a different way. It is hard for me to choose any one site above another, but I would like to mix the famous sights such as Versailles and, of course, museums and ancient places with walks along the quiet quaint cobbled streets, and along the rivers with ...

  • 37. Amlie Movie Essay A narrative reading of AmГ©lie (2001) directed by Jean–Pierre Jeunet, is a quirky portrayal of modern–day Parisian life, set in Montmartre. It tells the story of a shy waitress, played by Audrey Tautou, who decides to change the lives of those around her for the better, while struggling with her own isolation. We see the progression of Amelie's character from childhood to adulthood. The opening sequence of the film gives an insight of Amelie's childhood and establishes the main characters and their traits. Young Amelie's traits are established in different scenes of the opening sequence, for example a mid shot is used as the opening credits start and young Amlie is framed alone. We see a stream of games young Amelie used to play, like making silly faces, dominoes and finger games. These games belong to the knowledge of everyone, everyone can recognise them. If a scene focuses on the childhood, we know that this moment of life will be a determinative item in the film.

Picasso was focuses in his painting by using the subject of pigeons and bullfights. In 1896, his first large oil painting "The first Communion" was exhibited in Barcelona. The year after, he painted "Science and Charity" and received an honorable mention in Madrid at the national exhibition of fine art and a gold medal in a competition in Malaga. It is important to note that at that point he was only 16 years old. His visits to museums became very important in this first period of his career, because like many other modern artists, Picasso had his "classicism period" when he tried to imitate the style of the old masters. He also met someone who would become one of his best friends and his secretary, the poet Sabartes. The new atmosphere made the young artist abandon his classic style and start a period of searching and encountering new experiences in his career. During this period, Picasso expressed his idea that an art student should not be obligated to follow any already established school, but should be free to explore his or her own styles and ideas. This search for change caused deterioration in his relationship with his parents who could not accept his interest in modern art. In 1900, during this search period, Picasso moved to the city that was the major artistic center, Paris, where he

For Picasso, the wandering saltimbanques (a kind of circus performer) represented the neglected lower class, whom he must have identified with as an avant–garde artist. Picasso and the saltimbanques had to work hard and strove for recognition in spite of being outsiders, practicing their trades their entire lives.
