	Mother Night Research Paper
		Mother Night Research Paper Chris Russo Over the years, such world-renowned authors as Mark Twain and J. Salinger have shown readers how literature reflects the era in which it is written.
		Mother Night does not deal directly with the bombing of Dresden- the raid has no part in the plot- but that in a sense is what the book is about" (CLC 3:496).
		Mother Night's historical content includes the usage of characters that actually once existed and events that actually took place during the war.

	DVD Review - Mother Night (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-06)
		Gordon and Wiede’s 1996 celluloid translation of "Mother Night" conscientiously preserves Vonnegut’s dry-like-fire irony and tragic understanding that "we are what we pretend to be," played out against the backdrop of one of this century’s darkest chapters.
		New Line’s record of providing outstanding, high quality video transfers for their DVDs remains intact with "Mother Night." Mastered from a source free of defects, the 1.85 anamorphic widescreen image is sharp and clean.
		Even during low-light or night scenes, the video transfer unerringly transmits the stark reds and muted grays dominating the color sequences, while the fl and white scenes exhibit good gray scale and accurate contrast levels.

	'night, Mother, a Review of the Play by Bill Johnson
		Briefly, `night, Mother is a play one act with two characters on the stage, Jessie Cates, late thirties to early forties, who lives with her mother, Thelma.
		The territory that 'night, Mother explores is that the more reasons Thelma tries to grasp to convince Jessie not to kill herself, the more she reaffirms Jessie's belief that her life is useless and it's simply better to end her suffering with a clear mind.
		`night, Mother is a great piece of storytelling and a fine example of the art of storytelling.

		They are transvestite hermaphrodites." Perhaps Mother Night is one of the few artistically successful cinematic adaptations of a Vonnegut work because its director avoids semicolons in his filmmaking--scenes rarely become run-on or two-ply with Keith Gordon at their helm.
		Mother Night and Waking the Dead come to us on DVD, from New Line Home Video and USA Home Entertainment, respectively, in similarly executed Special Editions (neither of which is billed as such).
		Note: Mother Night's omissions are in pristine anamorphic, but Waking the Dead's have been mastered in 4:3 from a dub of workprint material.

		NEW YORK -- The scariest part of "`night, Mother," now being fitfully revived at Broadway's Royale Theatre, is its matter-of-factness: the careful, methodical planning by a forlorn, defeated woman determined to commit suicide.

	Amazon.co.uk: Books: Mother Night (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-06)
		Mother Night appears to be a rather straightforward, albeit quirky, novel at first glance, but as one delves down into the heart of Vonnegut's prose one finds grounds for contemplation of some of life's most serious issues.
		The primary moral of Mother Night, Vonnegut tells us in his introduction, is that "we are what we pretend to be" and should thus be pretty darned careful about what we are pretending to be (a secondary moral being the less enlightening statement "when you're dead, you're dead").
		Mother's Night, the title of which is taken from Goethe's Faust, is a relatively short but very powerful novel.

	filmcritic.com Movie Review: Mother Night
		Mother Night is much better than Secrets and Lies, the shoo-in nomination, and at least as good as The English Patient, if not slightly better.
		The fact it is that Mother Night is one of a cadre of films that is swept under the rug due to the fact that it hits some cultural hot button to the average (slightly prejudicial) person.
		The true moral in Mother Night, in addition to not pretending to be something you're not, is that you have a mind, and that you should exercise it instead of going on the propaganda life spoon feeds you.

	Night, Mother Summary & Essays - Marsha Norman
		On balance, however, 'night, Mother was well-received, by audiences and critics alike, for its realism and honesty.
		Although the topic of 'night, Mother is unhappiness that results in suicide, Norman manages to interject some macabre humor through sharp dialogue.
		Despite its impartial (even negative) stance toward suicide, 'night, Mother nevertheless became a source of controversy due to its inclusion of that subject.

	Norman, Marsha: 'night, mother (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-06)
		A daughter and her mother play out a psychological drama that is the culmination of a lifetime of poor communication and limited understanding.
		Laced with humor and a bit of the macabre, the scenes in this short, two-act play work inexorably toward the climax--suicide of the daughter and incomplete resolution of the mother's confusion.
		The dynamics of poor communication and inadequate listening are beautifully dramatized, giving the opportunity for the student to examine how family disconnects can occur in such a setting.

	Mother Night (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-06)
		Mother Night is an excellent character study of a man who is so lost, so bereft of destiny, so disillusioned by forces exterior to him that the weight of the world finally crushes his will to believe in anything: nationalism, love, friendship, even life.
		Having read more than half of Vonnegut's novels, I was at first suspicious at the prospect of a filmed version of Mother Night, mostly because the structure and narrative of any Vonnegut novel doesn't seem to be able to transfer to film with anything less than complete debauchery.
		Mother Night is ultimately a masterful film because it doesn't muddle the author's message.

	DVD Review: Mother Night
		"Mother Night" is based on the novel by Kurt Vonnegut; I've never read the book, but I found this attempt to bring the film to the screen to be an interesting one, well-performed and well-told.
		"Mother Night" does stumble a few times in the second half, but overall, it's a well-written movie that offers a great Nolte performance.
		Final Thoughts: I'd thought that "Mother Night" would be another New Line catalog title where they would release it as a movie & trailer DVD; thankfully, they have done a fine job with a good film like "Mother Night" - audio/video quality is good and there are some great extras.

		Mother Night eventually recovers from this misstep for a thought-provoking ending, but the bad taste lingers.
		As Campbell warns in his voice- over narrative, "We are what we pretend to be, so we must be careful about what we pretend to be." His appearance as an anti-Semite does at least as much to forward the Nazi cause as it does to help the United States.
		Ultimately, Mother Night is one of those films that it's more rewarding to talk about than see.

		The date chosen for her beatification, Mission Sunday, is the Sunday closest to the twenty-fifth anniversary of the pontificate of John Paul II and to the end of the Year of the Rosary.
		Even in the desolate dark night of the soul, indeed especially there, St. John of the Cross taught, God is present, purifying the soul of all passions and hindrances, and preparing her for the inconceivable blessedness of divine union.
		Like Mother Teresa, she had longed to be sent forth in the missions as a herald of God’s love; since her frailty prevented this, she rejoiced in being assigned missionaries for whom she prayed and whom she regarded with great affection as her spiritual brothers.

	SPLICEDwire \| "Mother Night" review (2003) Keith Gordon, Nick Nolte, Sheryl Lee
		Nick Nolte is one of those actors that will draw me to a film without any other motivation, and he owns every moment of "Mother Night," a cerebral and crafty World War II spy drama adapted from a Kurt Vonnegut novel.
		We know, because the story is told in flashback, that there is no happy ending -- his loves, his friendships and his buried secrets are doomed -- and this intensity is the power of the film.
		Directed by Keith Gordon, who helmed "A Midnight Clear," a tense battlefield drama also set in WWII, "Mother Night" pins the audience with social undertones and rich images in color and fl and white.

		The charismatic, flint-edged Nick Nolte stars in Mother Night as successful playwright Howard J. Campbell, an ex-patriot American living in Germany during the Second World War.

		Mother Night is a film that aspires to greatness, but falls short of its aim.
