“Casino” [Martin Scorsese] According to the terms of the course syllabus, this essay will be “on the style and themes of, preferably, a significant world class director. I have chosen Martin Scorsese, whom I feel utilizes the styles and themes studied in this course to great effect. The film I will focus on is Casino, specifically the first act, with emphasis on the script, the casting, the cinematography, and the soundtrack. Casino holds a special place in my heart. I am drawn to it by a pr...

"Ah, there's a sight you don't see in Hollywood every day; a hack writer lazily sitting in a Starbucks spewing out another failed sitcom spec-script on his laptop." "Hadley, fuck you very much." Scott didn't even look up as he talked, instead giving a slight nod. "Have a seat, or two, you look tired." He continued typing, Hadley guessed, at a pace of about sixty words a minute. Hadley then set his Grande down, and fit his pear-shaped lump of a body into the seat across from Scott. "I need so...

I like your phrasing in several passages. I know this piece asn't meant for publication, but I hope you recycle some of the phrases (i.e., "Before he slid into their blood, though, he had to work his way under their skin") I like the idea of the "beautiful monster" who kills in a way that leaves his victims with a smil...

I was going to start jokingly by saying "Show, don't tell," but that makes me think of those haters... Nice fill-in on the backstory, nice and compact, yet it lets us know about his motivations and his dilemma about not being able to return. I like how you have built up the animosity between Adnan and Cromberg before they meet in his office, too. The capitalization of "Sea" (which begs the question, "which one?") and later, "Life" (too close to "life magazine"?) kind of stand out to me now. M...
I love the use of colors throughout, it has a nice linking theme. I love "A narrow ladder in giddy perspective"-- that is such a vivid, visual description that I could see my self staring up the length of one! Nice finish, too. I would suggest pairing this with visual art somewhere.
