American play: Expressionism

1. above all based on realism

2. core: dealing with spiritual, subjective, inner reality and unconsciousness

3. naturalistic drama: pessimistic realism/ expression!istic drama: psychological realism

4. limits of realism as scientific materialism: writers of the late 19c: objective reality in views of scientific ways leading to 'life as it is'/ lack of inner reality concerned with archetypal and religional elements

5. conclusion: expression!istic drama as preferred to spiritual value rather than material value

6. symptoms up to expression!ism:

- Henry Ibsen(1826-1906,Norway): realism/ problem play: En dukkehjem(the House of doll)

- Nietsche(1844-1900): "Realism in art is an illusion."

- Van Gogh(1853-1890): impressionistic views for Things(expression!ism has more distortion and abstractness than impressionism)

7. characteristics of expression!istic play:

- biographical element

- type character through protagonist's view stemming from archetypes(The Poet, the lawyer, the father, the priest)

- illogical and fragmental dialogue/ soliloquy loyal to inner reality or unconsciousness / non- lineal or circular plot / mise-enscene(setting): centered on colors, lighting, sound

- themes: solipsistic view of life

8. romanticism vs. expression!ism:

- romanticism in quest of freedom and imagination dissatisfied with 18c rationalism

- expression!ism returning to spiritual world fed up of 20c material world

9. American Expression!istic play-writers: Eugene O'Neill(Long Day's Journey into Night), Tennessee Williams(The Grass Menagerie), Arthur Miller(Death of a Salesman), etc.

Their music is full of fun and cheerful .
But they was originally fine and dandy group.

Hotel Rwanda - ★★★★★

Drector : Terry George
Plot:
The film Hotel Rwanda, set in 1994, is based on the Rwandan genocide, in which an estimated 800,000 people, mainly Tutsi and moderate Hutus, were killed by Hutu militias.[3] In the film, tensions between the Hutu and Tutsi people lead to a civil war in which the Tutsis are massacred because of their former rule over the nation. Paul Rusesabagina (Don Cheadle), the manager of Sabena Hotel des Mille Collines, is torn between the sides as he is Hutu but his wife, Tatiana (Sophie Okonedo), is Tutsi. His marriage paints him a traitor by fellow Hutu, including George Rutaganda, a supplier to the hotel and Hutu zealot who unsuccessfully presses Paul to join the Interahamwe, an extremist anti-Tutsi militia.
Upon the eve of the civil war, Paul’s neighbors and family look to him for leadership, and he must deliver them from the ruthless Hutu who are determined to wipe out the Tutsis. After bartering with a high-ranking officer for the safety of his friends and family, Paul brings them to his hotel. More refugees flood into the hotel as the United Nations's refugee camp becomes either too dangerous or too crowded to be safe. The hotel also becomes overcrowded, and Paul must divert the Hutu soldiers, care for the refugees, and maintain the hotel.
The UN Peacekeeping forces, led by Colonel Oliver (Nick Nolte), are ineffectual against the Interhamwe despite Oliver's constant attempts to help Paul, his sympathy towards the refugees, and his disdain for the non-caring world powers.
As the Interhamwe advance on the hotel, the stress begins to take its toll on Paul and his family. The UN forces attempt to lead several of the refugees out, including Paul's family, but are turned back after a fight with the Interhamwe. In a last ditch effort to save the refugees, Paul speaks to the Hutu army general, Augustin Bizimungu (Fana Mokoena) and attempts to blackmail him with threats of being tried as a war criminal. Bizimungu agrees and they return to the hotel, only to find it under siege. Bizimungu's forces bring an end to the chaos as Paul frantically looks for his wife and family. Paul finds them hiding in a bathroom, and they and the hotel refugees leave in a UN convoy that travels through retreating Hutu refugees and militia to reach safety behind Tutsi rebel lines. As the film concludes, Paul finds his two young nieces, whose parents were never found, and takes them along with his family on a bus departing the country.


I saw this movie yesterday by chance on TV.
I remembered that Penny recomended this film in class.
All the time while I see the movie, I feel very lamentable and sad.
And finally I wept.ㅠㅠㅠ
I think this flim is very excellent and valuable enough to see again.
