When John Dunbar goes out to find the Lakota Sioux, but he first stumbles upon Stands with a Fist. When he sees that her arms are bleeding; his immediate reaction was to use his U.S. flag, something that he carries with pride, as a tourniquet. This shows the audience that Dunbar is an ardent person and is willing to help another at his own cost. At one point in the film Dunbar finds himself not wanting to sleep at eh tribes’ camp, but not wanting to be an American soldier. When the Lakota Sioux attacks their rivals, the Pawnee, Dunbar claims to a sense of pride.

Should parents consider not showing the real world to their children? How are children going to know what real life consists of their parents are holding them back to be prepared for the real world. In the novel “The Absolutely True Diary of a Part-Time Indian” by Sherman Alexie he talks about a poor Indian boy with special effects who overcomes the most difficult obstacles if his life. The novel should be a teaching tool for children not only the kids with difficult lives but also to the wealthy kids. In the article “why the Best kids Book Are written in Blood” by Sherman Alexie it says “ and had been inspired by my autobiographical story of a port reservation Indian boy and his desperate and humorous attempts to find a better life.”

Mira Nair’s Monsoon Wedding is a movie that centers around a modern, Indian family in Delhi that comes together to celebrate the arranged marriage of one of their own. The movie has a very superficial joyful atmosphere there were many undertones that open up meaning to many ideas that are not explicitly discussed in the film. I believe the purpose of this film was to provide a lens to view globalization (specifically Westernization) in India, however, the movie sent various mixed messages towards the subjects of marriage, socioeconomic differences, sexual abuse, and personal identity that all carried within them a feeling of anti-progressivism.

During class, the teacher showed us two movies during the course of the semester revealing the lives of two important people and their significance of their actions.. The first movie was “Temple Grandin”, which told a story of a young woman who suffered repeated setbacks from her autism throughout the entirety of her life. Mostly, ridiculed by her peers and even in her male dominated profession, Animal Agriculture. Grandin remain persistent in achieving her goals and eventually overcame her oppositions one by one. Similarly, “Invictus” follows the familiar theme of rising against adversary with Nelson Mandela sworn into office after the disintegration of the South Africa’s apartheid, the nation suffers low morale and division among each other. The Springboks, the national rugby team suffers criticism among the African, due to the colors representing the history of apartheid. Mandela embraced the Rugby team and encourage them to win the 1995 World Cup in order to unify the entire nation, with support of the president and the South African people the team eventually won the Cup and achieve unification. Overall, I believe “Temple Grandin” delivered the better picture than “Invictus” due to the use of flashbacks at moments to illustrate the story, accuracy in depicting the character, and suspense at certain parts of the film enhance my perspective.

The film Monsoon Wedding, directed by Mira Nair is an intriguing film about Punjabi culture. Produced in thirty days, it shows five different stories and how they develop. Some develop into love stories and have a happy ending. For one it shows the horrible disgusting reality of life. Throughout the film, it shows the innocent, harmless love, then as the film comes closer to the end, it becomes a dark reality that the audience has to realize happens to Ria Verma and Aylia Verma.

Naomi Greene once said that, “Pier Paolo Pasolini was the more protean figure than anyone else in the world of film.” This means that Pasolini was a versatile film director because he simplified cinema into the simplest way possible, while still visually embodying an important message to his cinematic viewers. Because of his encounter with Italy’s social changes, it influenced the writing and films he chose to write. His aspirations regarding his written work “Cinema of Poetry” explains how a writer usage of words and a filmmaker’s choice of images are linked to how cinema can be a poetry of language. He characterizes cinema as irrational and his approach on free indirect point of view is used to achieve a particular effect in his body of work. His claims made in the Cinema of Poetry illustrate why he stylized his films in the manner he did, such as Mamma Roma through the images he portrayed on screen. By examining Pasolini’s approach to poetic communication in the Cinema of Poetry, we can see that these cinematic attributes about reality and authenticity depicted in Mamma Roma are utilized to question cinematic viewer’s effortless identification of cinema with life. This is important to illustrate because Pasolini wants to motivate viewers to have an interpretative rather than a passionate relationship with the screen.

Niall sat on his couch wondering how everything went wrong. He should have stopped her from leaving. Was he really that desperate to force a liar to stay in love with him? His shaky hands feel around for the cool glass. The alcohol burns his lungs, but they dull the pain in his heart. “Did you start drinking without me?” That soft giggle rings out, causing Niall to turn with a smirk. “Hey, I’m glad you are finally here.” There she was, Nora, his best friend. She was tall, curvy, and she had these brown eyes that put Liam’s eyes to shame. “How bad was it?” Nora asks looking up from her beer bottle. “Well, she said that I cheated on her.” “Let me guess, it was with me?” Nora snorts the minute she sees Niall nod his head. Everyone thought that she was either cheating with Niall or he was cheating with her. They were just best friends that enjoyed a nice pint over some football. “Well, it is her loss.” “Yeah, we didn’t even have sex.” “Wow, she is really missing out.” Nora jokes. She had felt something for Niall a long time ago, but chalked it up to being lonely. Niall had always wondered what it was like to kiss his best friend, but fear kept him from getting near her. “Hey, do you remember that drinking game we used to play?” Niall asks really needing to get drunk fast. The game was really stupid, and an easy way to get drunk. Nora would start with a word, and they would keep saying words back and forth. The minute someone paused to think about the next word

Nina’s behaviors throughout the movie show symptoms for schizophrenia. Schizophrenia is a disorder that “affects a person’s thinking, language, emotions, social behavior, and ability to perceive reality accurately.” (201, Halter). The severity of schizophrenia is triggered by stressors within an individual’s life. Stressful situations lead to an increase in cortisol levels, causing “changes that may precipitate the illness in vulnerable individuals.” (203, Halter). Nina experiences several stressors due to her new role as Swan Queen, a difficult relationship with her mother along with being harassed sexually harassed by her director. The Diagnostic and Statistics Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM-5) states that to meet the criteria for diagnosis of schizophrenia, the patient must have two or more schizophrenic symptoms. Nina experiences both hallucinations and delusions throughout the film, these are all positive symptoms for schizophrenia. As Nina continues to experience an increase of stress and pressure to be perfect, her symptoms progressively get worse.

    The movie Dances With Wolves help open the eyes of the public, and helps them see that not all Natives are killers or thieves. Near the beginning of the film it showed the Sioux initially wanting to just kill Dunbar, it also shows them rethinking and deciding to try to become allies instead. This scene would have helped show that Native Americans don’t always just rush in attacking, and that they are able to be friendly if they choose to. In the movie, after the Sioux accepts that Dunbar isn’t an enemy, they approach him and give him a buffalo hide. This is quite

I was not planning on reviewing this before it aired, but after screening it, I was so utterly impressed with this movie--seriously, it is one of the best Hallmark films I have seen in a long time. And I don 't say that glibly by any means. I know I am known for my positive reviews, but this one goes far beyond that. I never once had to remind myself to concentrate on the positive aspects of the film. The acting, the story, and the message were one of the finest Hallmark has featured in some time. Not to mention, it was gentle, amusing, and genuinely enjoyable family viewing.

   The Jewel in the Crown, by Paul Scott, is a postcolonial novel about the realism of the interracial love affair between Daphne Manners and Hari Kumar, the subsequent rape of Daphne Manners, and the after effects on British and Indian relations. At a time when British and Indian affairs were strained, at best, the rape of Miss Manners is significantly metaphoric of the British rape of Indian land and culture. British colonial sentiment became a primary influence in India, when the revolt of 1857 led to the reorganization of British influence. The British felt that India could not rule itself, that they (the British) would govern India as its benefactor, bringing

BEEEEEEP!!!!!! SCREECH! HONK! These common sounds were heard throughout the bustling metropolis of Dhaka, Bangladesh, home to Shaan Rahman, a young and honest man. He was on his way back home after a long day at Dhaka University where he studies. “Aree bhai!” exclaimed Shaan to his driver. “Couldn’t you have taken a less crowded road?” Shaan became restless as the traffic kept building. The cars moved like a sloth moving across the forest floor. Many hours passed as Shaan and his driver trudged through the very populous city. Finally, Shaan reached home. Shaan’s jaw dropped when he saw what was covering his house as he got out of the vehicle. Strings of glistening and flickering lights created a jungle of vines crawling up the

The biggest obstacle any movie director must face is trying to please a critical audience. It is especially difficult if the movie they are producing is based on a popular novel, such as E. M. Forster’s, A Passage to India. Each reader has their own perspective of what the characters are supposed to be like and it is the director’s job to try their hardest to please everyone and give an accurate representation of the text. David Lean did a fantastic job with his casting decisions for his 1984 film version of A Passage to India. In fact, Lean manages to clarify the novel’s intentions. The characterization in David Lean’s film of A Passage to India mirrors the novel’s original intentions and provides even more depth to the characters.

People can agree that the colonization and the spread of the British Empire had the barest of good moments. And those good moments are overshadowed by the massive amounts of negativity that occurred in the wake of their rule. The way the nations were treated is obscured by the immense sense of pride that is displayed when thinking about a nation 's people and past. This also transcended into the way that America views and treats other nations that they are “allied with” or “has ties with”, but I digress. In the view of the overall topic of our class being the “refusal to inherit the modern novel”, I would like to point out the contradictions of character and the motifs being displayed are both important to this scene in the essence of the

The novel, A Passage to India, starts off by stating the environmental and basic background features India has to offer. Chandrapore, where the book takes place, is not the most alluring place to visit while in India. In essence, the whole city is just a forest with few houses. Aziz, who is the lead character in the novel, is a doctor who lives in the city and goes to patients’ homes to treat their illnesses, for that is what he has been doing for years. When Aziz hears about English entering India, he wants to befriend them and become acquaintances. A friend of his, Muhammad Ali disapproves of this idea and tells him it will never work out. Determined to prove him wrong, Aziz is soon encountered by Mrs.Moore, a woman from England who has come to India. The two of them get to know each other and he escorts her to the Chandrapore club, where Indians are not permitted. There she meets Adela Quested, who is to marry Ronny, her son. Adela wants to see the real India and
