...The batman legend Aspects of mythology in batman legend: example of the dark knight trilogy There are a lot of differences and similarities between the heroes and gods of the Greek and romans myths and traditions compared to the superheroes and legends of the comic’s books and Hollywood movies. Scholars often conduct researches to define and analyze pieces of art to check its methodological features in terms of form and content. In this humble research we will try to shed the light on the aspects of mythology in batman as a superhero and a legend taking the dark knight trilogy as an example to examine how mythology is represented in this masterpiece by the brilliant director Christopher Nolan. The dark knight trilogy consists of 3 movies: batman begins (2005), the dark knight (2008) and the dark knight rises (2012). The three of them was directed by the filmmaker Christopher Nolan and were inspired from the batman character created by Bob Kane. ``Batman Begins`` movie was basically about the origin of the batman legend as a force of good in Gotham city. In the light of his parents tragic robbery murder (Bruce Wayne) took a journey around the globe looking for meaningful values and tools to fight injustice and criminals. He was taken in by a strange instructor called Ducard and taught him how to become a ninja in what is named the League of Shadows after that he came back to Gotham and uncover his masked crusader (Batman) in order to start fighting gangsters to end their...

...of the DC Extended Universe in 2013 with Man of Steel, fans have had a constant need to defend the movies they enjoyed. To say that Batman v Superman was at the center of much controversy is an understatement. However, with the release of Wonder Woman earlier this year, it seems that the films were heading in the right direction and the future for the universe looks bright. Now we have Justice League, the much anticipated union of some of the biggest names in comic book history, and it's time to see if the movie is a step forward or two steps back. Justice League follows the events of Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice, as Steppenwolf comes down to Earth to bring together three mysterious boxes which, when combined, can destroy our world and create a planet ripe for the coming of Darkseid. Now Bruce Wayne and Diana Prince must bring together a team to stop the coming invasion. In a way, Justice League is the conclusion to the Man of Steel trilogy, which continued in Batman v Superman, and it handles it's baggage much better than before. This movie not only has to set up three new characters, it also has to follow up to the three established heroes and it juggles it all very well. Although they...

...self-created quandary. Nolan is a filmmaker who has earned my highest rating of 5 stars more than once, with his genre-defying Memento and his mesmerizing science-fiction espionage caper Inception. He has also earned huge accolades from me in nearly every other film he has made, except Interstellar, which did not work for me personally, but has a legion of loyal and devoted fans. All of this to say, Dunkirk is perhaps Nolan's greatest directorial achievement to date, but in isolation, is it better than Inception or Memento or The Dark Knight or The Prestige, and so on? You tell me, but here's the reality of Dunkirk's impact and power: It would not and could not exist if Nolan had not made the movies he has made along the way. Dunkirk is going to strike some people as cold and emotion-free, yet it payloads a sobering and visceral ambush of moments which cause the throat to scratch and perhaps eyes to water. After the grandiose vision of Inception, his bold Batman trilogy, and the disconnected ideas swirling around Interstellar, I shared a personal desire for Nolan to return to a smaller scale, to take his epic blockbuster experience and tell something intimate and more real. And of course, he achieves this with a budget of $150 million, shooting almost exclusively on 65mm large-format film stock. Nolan drags us into the trenches, crafting a film with such precision and expertise that you simply succumb to the story unfolding around you. For those unaware of the story, though it will have...

In 1941, that film was Orson Welles’s Citizen Kane. Welles produced, directed, wrote, and starred in the movie at age twenty-five, playing a newspaper magnate from a young man to old age. While the movie was not a commercial success initially (powerful newspaper publisher William Randolph Hearst, whose life was the inspiration for the movie, tried to suppress it), it was critically praised for its acting, story, and directing. Citizen Kane’s dramatic camera angles, striking film noir–style lighting, nonlinear storytelling, montages, and long deep-focus shots were considered technically innovative for the era. Over time, Citizen Kane became revered as a masterpiece, and in 1997 the American Film Institute named it the Greatest American Movie of All Time. “Citizen Kane is more than a great movie; it is a gathering of all the lessons of the emerging era of sound,” film critic Roger Ebert wrote.1 CHAPTER 6 ○ MOVIES 185 (c) Bedford/St. Martin's bedfordstmartins.com 1-457-62096-0 / 978-1-457-62096-6 MOVIES A generation later...

...FROM THE AUTHOR OF THE BESTSELLING BIOGRAPHIES OF BENJAMIN FRANKLIN AND ALBERT EINSTEIN, THIS IS THE EXCLUSIVE BIOGRAPHY OF STEVE JOBS. Based on more than forty interviews with Jobs conducted over two years—as well as interviews with more than a hundred family members, friends, adversaries, competitors, and colleagues—Walter Isaacson has written a riveting story of the roller-coaster life and searingly intense personality of a creative entrepreneur whose passion for perfection and ferocious drive revolutionized six industries: personal computers, animated movies, music, phones, tablet computing, and digital publishing. At a time when America is seeking ways to sustain its innovative edge, Jobs stands as the ultimate icon of inventiveness and applied imagination. He knew that the best way to create value in the twenty-first century was to connect creativity with technology. He built a company where leaps of the imagination were combined with remarkable feats of engineering. Although Jobs cooperated with this book, he asked for no control over what was written nor even the right to read it before it was published. He put nothing offlimits. He encouraged the people he knew to speak honestly. And Jobs speaks candidly, sometimes brutally so, about the people he worked with and competed against. His friends, foes, and colleagues provide an unvarnished view of the passions, perfectionism, obsessions, artistry, devilry, and compulsion for control that shaped his approach to business and...

...Learning with Cases INTRODUCTION The case study method of teaching used in management education is quite different from most of the methods of teaching used at the school and undergraduate course levels. Unlike traditional lecture-based teaching where student participation in the classroom is minimal, the case method is an active learning method, which requires participation and involvement from the student in the classroom. For students who have been exposed only to the traditional teaching methods, this calls for a major change in their approach to learning. This introduction is intended to provide students with some basic information about the case method, and guidelines about what they must do to gain the maximum benefit from the method. We begin by taking a brief look at what case studies are, and how they are used in the classroom. Then we discuss what the student needs to do to prepare for a class, and what she can expect during the case discussion. We also explain how student performance is evaluated in a case study based course. Finally, we describe the benefits a student of management can expect to gain through the use of the case method. WHAT IS A CASE STUDY? There is no universally accepted definition for a case study, and the case method means different things to different people. Consequently, all case studies are not structured similarly, and variations abound in terms of style, structure and approach. Case material ranges from small caselets (a few paragraphs...
