Half film noir and half black comedy, Pulp Fiction weaves through the intersecting storylines of Los Angeles gangsters, fringe characters, petty thieves and a mysterious attaché case. Following Quentin Tarantino's more traditional crime movie, Reservoir Dogs, the storyline is chopped up, rearranged and shown out of sequence, a technique borrowed from French nouvelle vague (New Wave) directors such as Jean Luc Godard (Bande à part) and François Truffaut and from low-budget American crime films such as Stanley Ku ...

The earliest known magical ring in fiction or myth is very likely the arm ring named Draupnir. It belonged to the Norse god Odin. Because its only reported function is to create more gold arm bands every few days, Draupnir seems to have been a religious symbol which represented increasing wealth. A similar arm ring, which also comes from Norse mythology, was called Andvarinaut. Andvarinaut is the famous Ring of the Niebelungens from The Volsunga Saga and The Nibelungenlied, which eventually be ...

"The tabernacle is, as Philo and Josephus recognized, a microcosm, a small model of the universe in architectural form. " Slavoj Žižek - The real. Here the real is a rather enigmatic term, and it is not to be equated with reality. For our reality is symbolically constructed; the real, however, is a hard kernel, the trauma that cannot be symbolized i.e. expressed in words. The real has no positive existence; it exists only as barred. "Place the cover ...

Schneier and Blaze based MacGuffin on DES, their main change being that the data block is not split into equal halves in the Feistel network. Instead, 48 bits of the 64-bit data block are fed through the round function, whose output is XORed with the other 16 bits of the data block. The algorithm was experimental - intended to explore the security properties of unbalanced Feistel networks. The diagram to the left shows one round of MacGuffin. The 64-bit data block is broken into four 16-bit words (each represented by one line). The ri ...

A plot device is an object, a character or a concept introduced into the story by the author to advance its plot. A literary technique is a technique that allows the author to introduce the necessary plot device into the story. These two terms are often (incorrectly) used to describe the same thing. Plot twist is a very broad term used to describe any unexpected turn of the story that gives a new view on its entire topic. If a plot twist happens at the end of the story, it is called a twist ending (see below ...

The film was based on Murray Burnett and Joan Alison's unproduced play Everybody Comes to Rick's. The story analyst at Warner Brothers who read the play called it (approvingly) "sophisticated hokum", and it was agreed to buy the rights for $20,000. The project was renamed Casablanca, apparently in imitation of the 1938 hit Algiers. Shooting began on May 25, 1942 and was completed on August 3. The entire film was shot in the studio, except for the sequence showing the arrival of Major Strasser (filmed at Van Nuys Airport) ...

Coleman moved to Los Angeles in the early 1950s. He worked at various jobs, including as an elevator operator, while pursuing his musical career. Even from the beginning of Coleman's career, his music and playing were, in many ways rather unorthodox: Coleman was more concerned with relative pitch than with "proper" equal temperament; his sense of harmony and chord progression are not as rigid as most swing music or bebop performers', and were easily changed and often implied. Many Los Angeles jazz musicians regarded Coleman's playing as out-of-tune, and he sometimes had difficulty finding like-minded musicians with whom to pe ...

The time is "somewhere in the near future" from the 1970s, and Bob Shairp is a government worker for a project in which a human being's individual qualities can be stored as computer data — on Müller-Fokker tapes. These reel-to-reel tapes, flesh pink in color, can store an entire person's identity in four tapes. The people recorded on the tapes can be reconstructed by encoding the tapes' data into a virus and infecting someone with that virus (see mind transfer). Of course, that person would have to be backed ...

Every season so far follows a similar format, centering on a central threat posed by terrorists. Surprise sacrifices, backstabbings, and other plot twists are common. Besides the central threat, each season has several major subplots that span the majority of the episodes and become interwoven with the main plot, which itself tends to change once or twice as a season progresses. Throughout each season, Jack Bauer often faces intense personal anguish in addition to his tasks to stop the terrorists. Each season runs in "real-time" and starts at a different time on different days. The show is set largely in Los Angele ...

Generally, only two types of magical rings are known from mythology and fiction: arm rings and finger rings. Different magic rings can do different magical things: depending on the purposes of the storyteller a magical ring can either have a limited or general function. Magical rings can be magical for a variety of reasons, or the storyteller can give no reason at all. Some rings are explained as ordinary rings that have become magical because they have been enchanted by a magician or touched by a god. Other rings are magical b ...

Hitchcock once commented, "The writer and I plan out the entire script down to the smallest detail, and when we're finished all that's left to do is to shoot the film. Actually, it's only when one enters the studio that one enters the area of compromise. Really, the novelist has the best casting since he doesn't have to cope with the actors and all the rest." Hitchcock was often critical of his actors and actresses as well, dismissing, for example, Kim Novak's performance in Vertigo, and once famously remarking that actors were to be ...

The atmospheric use of black and white expressionist cinematography (by Robert Krasker), with harsh lighting and distorted camera angles, is a key feature of this rich and strange film. Combined with the unique musical theme, seedy locations,and excellent performances from the cast, the style evokes the atmosphere of an exhausted, cynical post-war Vienna at the start of the Cold War. The distinctive musical score was composed and played on the zither by Anton Karas (1906 – 1985). A single, The Third Man Theme, released in 1950 (Decca in UK, London Records in USA) became a bes ...
