A Cat in Paris pulls this off by including a few of those 'darker' facets of life and portraying them in a not-so-fearsome light. I prefer animated films not for their superficiality but for being fantastical with a touch of realism. Such strolls through the uncanny valley aren't exactly my cup of tea. The '80s saw a regression into that same sort of darkness with films like The Brave Little Toaster and The Land Before Time.both of which I am sure will let loose some repressed nightmares tonight as I sleep. Cartoons out of the '30s thru to the '60s were oftentimes quite creepy or incredibly violent (I'm looking at you, Disney and Warner Bros.). From the end of the nineties up until now, I have found that most forms of drawn or computer generated animation -at least in the Western Hemisphere -tend to be light-hearted ( The Triplets of Bellevilleand The Iron Giant are both obvious exceptions to the rule). This film has greatly increased my appreciation for animation as a serious form of storytelling. The use of colour also helps set the tone. If you are unaware, a symbol is a thing that stands for something else-especially a material object that represents something abstract. Because of its use of motifs, I thought it pertinent to do a post on symbolism present in The Seventh Seal. This 1957 film by Ingmar Bergman (based on his own play entitled Wood Painting), is widely known for being philosophical and contains such themes as the silence of a 'Divine Being', the indifference of death, the meaning of human existence, et cetera. As they journey to Block's castle, the duo run into a troupe of performers, a procession of flagellants, and masses of terrified of villagers-some of whom join Block's entourage as he makes his way home and tries to escape the reach of the black death and an impending apocalypse. The man desires knowledge of the afterlife (a wee bit like good ol' Doc Faustus), believing that his life has been pointless and that God is, if not uncaring, then unfairly silent. Block challenges Death ( Bengt Ekerot) to a game of chess, hoping to buy some time before he himself is taken. The Hertz report stressed that ownership costs can drop dramatically the longer an automobile is owned.ĭriving more miles per year also can reduce the cents-per-mile cost because fixed expenses - such as loan interest, depreciation and insurance - are divided into more miles, Hertz said.During the mid-fourteenth century, knight Antonius Block ( Max von Sydow) and his squire Jö n s ( Gunnar Björnstrand) have finished their crusade in the Holy Land and return to their homeland of Sweden to find it devastated by the bubonic plague. Minivans were not counted in Hertz's calculations because they are relatively new to the industry. Hertz spokesman Leigh Smith said owning and operating costs for minivans would fall between the intermediate and full-size car classes, placing annual expenses for those models at about $5,880. An average of all car sizes showed ownership and operating costs up 4.7 percent last year to $5,253, the report said. Costs for full-size cars stayed even with 1985 levels at $6,298.

Subcompact car costs declined 1.2 percent to $4,042. However, costs to own and run a mid-size model increased the most, rising 19 percent to $5,613 from $4,715 in 1985, the study found. Although interest rates declined to record lows in many cases, interest costs did not drop as much because more money was paid for the new models.Īs expected, ownership and operating costs were less for a subcompact and most expensive for a full-size car.
