When choosing a film for this assignment, my original choice was Bend It Like Beckham because I had heard of it and I had a general idea what it was about. I then decided that I wanted to take on a more challenging film, one that I had never heard of, and one that I would really have to study to understand its full meaning. After looking into a few of the listed movies, I ended up choosing Whale Rider, a drama filmed in New Zealand in 2002. After watching the movie two times, I feel that I now understand some of the more drastic cultural and gender based problems that are occurring today.

The Case of Temple Grandin paints a picture of a young woman’s determination and hard work while struggling with autism during a time when the disorder was unknown.

“To forget the holocaust is to kill twice.” By Elie Wiesel. This quote is important because forgetting all the people who had to go through World War II is like acting like it never happen. The book Night by Elie Wiesel is set around a jewish boy named Elie, and his hardships. These hardships will not only test his relationship with people it will also test his faith. Then you have the movie Schindler’s List directed by Steven Spielberg, where instead of a Jew, it tells a story about a Nazi whose point of view changes throughout the war. Schindler also has some hardships that will test his personality and his loyalty. Both the book and the movie are placed in World War II. Although they are on opposite sides of the war, they both have very similar views on the war and what is going on around them by the end of their stories.

In the fiction book Blind is about a girl that has to learn how to do daily things without sight. This gives a good representation on how having a disability and going on with life would be like. Then in the nonfiction book Temple Grandin Temple goes into the world where they didn't totally understand autism at the time, and she went to pursue her dreams.

The films were based on the historical events, illustrating the common matters of individuals’ desire to overpower others with wealth, power, and control in order to take over the throne and land. Both films took place in different settings – Piast dynasty era and Khmelnytsky Uprising era – but they do share some similarities and differences.
