Creator Title Emotional Sum (Sense of Life or emotional World View) Theme
Director: Herskovitz, Marshall Dangerous Beauty The world is a horrible split of conventional marital morality vs. honest but promiscuous morality. The way to live requires one sacrifice one's body for one's soul.

1. The importance of accepting your own rules for living, your own morality.
2. The grim metaphysical conflict for a Venetian woman of being a slave to a husband or a free woman requiring sexual work.
Architect: Sullivan, Louis National Farmers' Bank Being able to breath freely -- expansively, and feeling that there are no limits to what man can do.

The world is expansively, infinitely rich.

Director: Powell, Dick Enemy Below, The War is deadly and destructive for all parties.
Photographer: Ommer, Uwe Pirelli Calendar Diver Women can be strong, dynamic and unconsciously beautiful.
Schaefer, Taf Lebel Octopus Playful.
Composer: Catalani, Alfredo Ebben? Ne andrò lontana (aria from La Wally)

Longing is the overall emotional tone of the music. The lyric gives reason to this overall tone.

Sadness at having to leave forever the place where you were happy once.
Sculptor: Buonarotti, Michelangelo David Man is a strong, indomitable creature who has the intelligence to overcome terrible odds.

[requires assumption of some context of this work -- not a "cold" introduction to it]: A man able to face a daunting task, with tremulous calm and determination. This is the depiction of the David/Goliath story of the Bible in which David takes on the much more formidable Goliath and wins.
Composer: Catalani, Alfredo Ebben? Ne andrò lontana (aria from La Wally)

Longing is the overall emotional tone of the music. The lyric gives reason to this overall tone.

Sadness at having to leave forever the place where you were happy once.
Designer: Eiffel, Gustave Eiffel Tower The works of Man are thrilling.
Villeroy & Boch Chocolate Pitcher and Butter Dish Friendly warmth (arising from the simple graceful lines, and the unadorned simplicity of the colors without ornament)

The joy and passion of love and life and dancing, while learning integrity and independence.
Director: Parker, Alan Fame Life is hard, but you can succeed, and it is worth it and exhilarating.

Go after your heart's desire.
Playwright: Shakespeare, William Much Ado About Nothing Sweetness and light and beauty are what the world is made of.
Director: Hudson, Hugh Greystoke Life is Loss -- life is grim and culture is grim and the jungle is grim. All is grim.

The other important feature of the film emotionally is that Tarzan has been crippled by his circumstances of being brought up in the jungle -- he cannot live as a man, so the great tragedy of the story is that he has to return to the jungle, which is below primitive -- it is an isolated hell in which death is at every corner, and at best the companionship of apes. Given that the story partly portrays civilized men as brutes who relish killing animals, perhaps the emotional intent is to make the choice to return to the jungle as positive, but for this reviewer it is unutterably tragic and ugly.

Loss, Loss, Loss. Man as metaphysically alien from human culture.
Author: Webster, Henry Kitchell King in Khaki, A Honesty is a noble and practical way of life.

Business acumen produces both material wealth and moral right.

The success of the entrepreneur in this story, along with his relation to all his staff and secondary and tertiary folks on the island who work for him -- makes him into a "king" based on important human relations and the rightness of his decisions that result in a successful business enterprise.

A subsidiary theme might be termed the power of morality over physical power or economic "power".
Playwright: Rostand, Edmond Cyrano de Bergerac Life can be exciting. Life can be grand, literally.
There is also some great sadness about consummated love, since it is portrayed as unreachable.

The importance of independence and independent thought. Compromise is deadly to one's soul.
Sub-themes: a) Doubt of one's goodness because of an incidental fact (physical feature) is terribly damaging and tragic. b) Helping someone by faking reality is damaging and can come to no good.
Architect: Wright, Frank Lloyd Robie House The world is open and has sweeping, unending possibilities.

The essence of a house as shelter, and providing a sense of strength and privacy. That is, a structure that exudes strength through its massive cantilever and massive brick and stone forms, along with its big overhangs sheltering the windows to create a sense of privacy and enclosure, in its urban situation.
Director: Coppola Francis Ford Godfather Life demands death; life is a horror of killing and retribution. Life is tragedy and malevolence

Behind beauty and success lies corruption and death.
Rand, Ayn Anthem

The book starts out psychologically dark and disorienting because of the protagonist struggling with the radically collectivist world he was born into.  But what shows even in the early pages, and grows to the climax is the triumphant struggle of a rare few who break free of the yoke of total mind control and become free to live a life as a conceptual human and rediscover what it means to be an individual.  Thrilling and emotionally satisfying (unless the reader is a committed determinist.)

Ego and using one's individual mind is the core of being human.
Domenichino Head of a Bearded Man Pensive, worried, detached qualities of humanity

Worry is the way of the world.
Architect: Wright, Frank Lloyd Johnson Wax Building Day to day life can be exalted and pleasurable.

To Work should be a condition of grandeur and joy.<br>
Painter: Koyo Omura Blue Phoenix A pleasing and lush, possibly claustrophobic, world.
