Mojave Mirage

I think this was a documentary that really showed what people see as tourist attractions. In my opinion I would not have even attempted to visit the middle of the Mojave desert to see a phone booth, or attempt to use the phone. That's why I believe this film highlighted how a phone booth in the center of the desert brought people together just to answer or use the phone. Some of the tourist went as far as camping out at the sight where the phone was, with the phone ringing the entire night. That really shows special or monumental the people looked at the phone as. As I stated before I wouldn't have attempted to visit the phone, so this makes me think the only type of people who would go out to and use the phone are adventurous people.

Peach Blossoms

In my interpretation of the Peach Orchard I thought the girl at the beginning was in a way a messenger who's assignment was to lead the boy to the peach orchard. Once the boy was at the orchard I think there was a type of trial for the boy in reference to him having anything to do with the orchard being cut down. The boy wasn't found guilty in a sense, and the peach orchards were rebuilt. At the end of this segment when the little girl reappeared, and then the orchards were cut down once again I thought this was an act of the spirits reminding the boy to stay loyal to the trees.

Foxes

This short segment shows how disobedience is never good. In result of the boy being disobedient he is force to become a man at a tender age. The boy is about to embark on a journey in search for his forgiveness, and I do think his journey will be a success one. I think the story reminded me of Willie Wonka, how even though the kids were warned not to do something they did it anyway and suffered the consequences.

Mid-Term

I think Throne of Blood surely had two shades of Shakespeare's Macbeth. In Throne of Blood Washizu is revisited by the ghosts of the General in which he kills, because he poses a threat to his position. Another event that happened similar so the events in Shakespeare's Macbeth was howWashizu was defeated in battle by the prophesy of men coming in the trees but, he didn't meet his death in that way. I thought that there was too much similarity between the two stories that one couldn't say they were almost the same, I believe they were actually the same. One huge difference between Throne of Blood and Macbeth was the wives.Washizu's wife wasn't as half as ambitious as Macbeth's wife, this I think is a important factor that showed that Throne of Blood isn't just a remake of Shakespeare's Macbeth.

The arrow scene at the end of the film was one of the realistic. The arrows that were launched at Washizu were real and you couldn't say that his facial expressions weren't good enough of good acting because they were 100% real expressions weren't good enough of good acting because they were 100% real expressions. Of course the scene was dangerous but, I think that's the factor which made the scene so famous. If the arrows were done with special effects in my opinion I think the scene would have been considered great instead of famous.

Overall I think that Shakespeare's Macbeth and Noe theater took a little from both
of the Theaters, and they came together to create Throne of Blood. As I before stated there were elements of Macbeth, I don''t believe that there were too many elements of Macbeth taken. If there too many elements taken I think people would have saw Throne of Blood as just a copy or remake of Macduff. Scenes like the Forest and the castle help to create a feel to create a feel similar to that of Macbeth.
