Unforgiven

The film is of the Old West. Like history, in the film women have less rights and privileges than man. An example for this is when the prostitute is cut up and all that happens is that her owner recieves horses. This shows that women is treated like animals. An interesting character is Schofield kid. He shows up to William Munny all tough and gives of the image of an omniscient character. However his true persona is revealed when he kills one of the people that cut up the prostitutes. Before this he claimed that he killed 5 people but this was false as he confessed that he just killed his very first person. This shows that killing another man, ending his life can have an everlasting affect no matter who you are. Also I think that the death of Logan was no coincidence for he is the only African American in the entire film. I believe this shows how the Old West viewed black people indirectly. However this view of black people is somewhat contradicted when Munny went to seek revenge for the death of his partner. He singlehandedly killed 5 cowboys. After doing so, he drank alcohol which went against his goal of never drinking alcohol again.

Seventh Seal Ending

I must say the ending was a bit confusing at first but then i understood it. I admired Jons saving the family that he traveled with since death said," Your time has come, and so the people that traveled with you." The scene when Jons reunited with is wife was a bit odd. Both didnt seem were to happy that they finally saw each other. The dinner they had i believed is symbolic to the "Last Supper" that Jesus had since it was literally their last supper before death. Also another connection is when the mute slave says," It is finished," also symbolic to Jesus christ. This scene was very effective since the mute slave never spoken a word until that very line. I was a bit suprised thought that Jof, Mia, and their child didnt come to die since in a scene earlier in the film there was a skull facing towards to Jof as a hint that hes going to die. The very final scene the "dance of death" was also a very effective scene. It showed that death reunited all of the people no matter the circumstance. Jons was reunited with his wife just because of death, if death wasnt the case i believed they wouldve separated later in their lives.

The Seventh Seal

This film i personally think its harder to analyze since its in a different language. You are forced to read the subtitles in order to understand whats happening which changes the way how the director wanted the film to be seen as. Regardless, the Seventh Seal has many symbolic aspects. The personification of Death and his attire is all symbolic. For example, during this time the Black Death is at its greatest threat, it is no coincidence that death is dressed all black. Also, while choosing which color to play in chess, death is choosen to be black. In response death says, "It becomes me well." So the color black in the film represents death. There was always a saying that you tricked death. In other words you had a close death experience but somehow your survived. But in this film it is death that tricks Antonious Block in the church when he learned of Blocks stategry or trickery in order to outwit death in the game of chess.

Runaway train

Runaway train in some aspects reminded me of shawshank redemption because of the setting of the film. Both took place in a prison and were potrayed as a cruel place. Runaway train so far is an interesting movie in the sense that it has alot of action but at the same time the movie has many symbolic themes. For example, the main character himself is symbolic to the title of the film. There were several scenes in which the film potrays him as a train such as when he was doing push ups he sounded like steam was coming out of his engine. Also there was a scene where the main character refused to take any train because he thought they would take him to the lot. Then he sees a "special" train and contradicts himself by going on that train. It seemed that he and the train were one hence the film title since the train loses control.
