For year 12 English, I studied the movie called "Good night and good luck" directed by the infamous George Clooney. The movie revolves around the prominent issues in regards to the McCarthyism period of US history. It looks at the constant tension and battles between the Soviet Union and US during a time when the Cold War was just around the corner. While it did have serious implications, the movie takes a cinematic spin on this topic. With postmodernism techniques glittered in every scene and take, the movie heavily uses film noir through its use of black and white, the use of chiaroscuro lighting further accentutes the tonality that Clooney potrays as Edward Murrow steps out of the shadows to embody the stance against his main enemy: Senator Joseph McCarthy...All Rights Reserved

Mr. Regnante [Mafioso Book#1] (SAMPLE) by StationaryObsession

*Heighest ranking 26th in Love, 1st in General Fiction, and 1st in Tragedy, as well as no#1 in mystery* When you're the most feared and powerful Italian Mafia Boss, you cannot have the world know of your existence or of any personal ties you may have. Otherwise bad things tend to happen, and this man learned that lesson the hard way. Now, he refuses to allow anyone close to him, much less get anywhere past his cold exterior. Their story wasn't meant to begin like it did. They weren't meant to meet the way they did. After all, she was only a university student and he was a ghost. Nonexistent, a rumor, a story you told your children at night. But when the most unforeseen circumstances cause their paths to cross, not once, not twice, but thrice--an encounter that ends with the vow of discretion and avoidance. They have no choice but to acknowledge they have to stay away before one of them gets hurt. Which is exactly what happens. This causes another encounter between the two, but this time with a promise of safety and security, because he owes her his life. *** "I say what I mean, and I do what I say." He assured in a low rumbling voice that had her transported back to older times. "And when I say I will keep you safe, believe me, that not even a hair on your head will be touched."
