Key Elements Of Women In Mustang : Crench Film Turkish-French Film

One of the main issues of this film - if not the main issue - is the fact that the government and many people in the

1. What are the main themes, politically and socially, that are portrayed in the film?

Movie shows the betrayal or unfavorable depiction of the sisterhood, an important concept in feminist ideology, emphasizing that women are bound in a communal oneness. The movie

The strong and young female lead is portrayed by Katy. She and her family live on a ranch and to be a ranching family, you have to chip in. While out riding one day, she comes across something she had only dreamed about; a wild mustang. The imagery behind this particular scene evokes strong emotions. During this scene, Katy is shocked after her and her horses encounter with a lion on their land, however as her eyes glaze through the thick brush she spots this young, black mustang whose beauty and pureness over shined the scratches on her back and dirt from being wild. This movie shows us how to appreciate what we never thought would be possible. The music, scenery and facial expressions all balance out rather evenly to evoke strong emotions such as astonishment and admiration by the audience.

The analysis of the film will take place in four parts: (1) conflict between minority and majority groups; (2) film’s perspective in approach to the problem of anti-semitism; (3)

To begin, one thing I immediately noticed about this film; was the amount of social constructs that were shown. When taking notes, it felt like my penil never left the paper as I wrote down all the things I saw. The amount of racism that is present is just overwhelming. The first example of this shown in the movie, was when Farhad, and his Daughter Dorri, who are both Persian; are attempting to purchase a handgun. The shopkeeper becomes frustrated when they begin to speak in a foreign language. He then refuses to let Farhad buy a gun, gets extremely loud and forces him out of the store. Also very plentiful in the film; stereotyping. Within the first five minutes, there was already a dispute; between Ria, who is a Latina woman and an Asian woman who was unnamed. The Asian woman had just rear ended Ria, and she began to make remarks about how ‘Mexican’ women can’t drive. This was very offensive as to define Ria by her race, but also because she is not

According to the text in chapter 7, the nature of narrative in film is described as a universal human activity used for entertainment, instruction, and socialization. It is also an essential way that people think about themselves and their world. Cinema, in its popular forms, has been a narrative medium. (Prince, 2012). There is no do doubt that the narratives of these two films are indeed, instructional and geared towards making one think about the world around them. In the film ‘Y Tu Mama Tambien’, the director did a great job of incorporating comedic relief amid a controversial theme. Some critics believe that this film was inappropriate in many ways. According to David Maine in his analysis and research on the film, “Y Tu Mama Tambien is a deceptive little movie, a serious film masquerading as a bit of comic fluff, hiding weighty themes behind silly banter and plenty of T&A. Director Alfonso Cuarón would go on to make a string of fine films including Children of Men (2006) and Gravity (2013), but this early effort showcases his ability to effortlessly blend the personal and the political, the comic and the tragic.” (Maine, 2014). In the film ‘Mustang’, the five young girls are being raised by their

There are three central themes present in the two movies, Evolution of a Revolution: Live from Tehran an ABC broadcast by Peter Jennings and Persepolis by Vincent Paronnaud, Marjane Satrapi. The two movies demonstrate the rising of Iranian Islamic Revolution and its cause and effect on the people of Iran. The three central themes within the movies are political culture and religion and exile. Firstly, in Evolution of a Revolution demonstrates within Iran the political powers have utilized their power to control the population, by coercive, oppressive force and manipulating the population’s ideologies. Secondly, Persepolis demonstrates a first person perspective of a cultural ideology which is ever changing, where new ideas and thought provoke change within the current cultural structure of Iranians (Intellects) like Marjane and her family. This can be demonstrated within the Islamic Revolution of Iran where the people of Iran moved away from the modernization and went back to their traditional culture of Islam through the influence of Ayatollah Khomeini and went against Khomeini teachings because they were very strict on the new law of the state. Lastly, in both the movies religion is demonstrated as cause for oppression and exile. Therefore, the two movies Evolution of a Revolution and Persepolis demonstrate the cause and effect of the Iranian Revolution where Evolution of a Revolution demonstrates the history, while Persepolis demonstrates a personal perspective of the

She written by H Rider Haggard is a novel about two men, Holly and his adoptive son, Leo set out to search for a mysterious queen, Ayesha who killed her lover, Kallikrates. After finding the queen, both of them hopelessly fall in love with her and remain in her control not until she dies. Her beauty is legendary that no man can look up upon her and keep his own will. Arabian Nights is a collection of Arabic short story told by a woman, Shahrazad who willingly to marry her lustful King.

Unlike his fellow-director Jafar Panahi, who is currently serving six years in prison, and is banned from making films for two decades, Farhadi is a director who doesn’t have a direct message to the Iranian government. However, we can realize many hidden messages from the dialogs in his movies. Farhadi was born in Esfahan (one of the central cities of Iran). He is a graduate of theatre with BA degree from the University of Tehran. Farhadi started his career from making the 8 and 16 mm film in his city, and then he started to directing and writing for the TV series. Also, Farhadi has been so successful in making his own movies. His third film “Fireworks Wednesday” won the Gold Hugo at the 2006 Chicago International Film Festival and also his fourth movie “About Elly” won the Silver Bear for the best director at the 59th Berlin Film Festival, and the best picture at Tribeca Film Festival. “A Separation” is one of his latest movies that has won many important prizes such as the best foreign language film and best original screenplay from Oscar Academy Award, the best director, best actor, and best actress from Berlin International Film Festival, the best foreign language fil in the Golden globe award, etc. Farhadi’s movies are following the style of realism and they are about the young generation in Iran and showing the contrast between the modern generation and their traditional country. Also, most of his movies have an

In society we have a lot of women actresses. Some tend to play the motherly type, some play the manipulator type and some even play the victims of abusive relationships. No matter what women seem to be coming up in the industry of movies in more ways than before. The three movies I have chosen to analyze in my critique are Heartbreakers, Baby Boy and Stepmom. These three movies all have women in them that either play a major role or the main role. All their roles are very different in character and none of the women in these three movies play a similar role.

Over the last decade Erdogan made himself the most powerful prime minister in Turkey’s history, the most successful elected leader in the Middle East and the West’s idol for a modern Muslim country. He attended a religious high school and grew up in a conservative neighborhood. A member of the youth groups of Islamist parties, he was elected Istanbul’s mayor in 1994 at age of forty and in 2002 he became the country’s first Islamist prime minister. He cleaned up the city and improved

Just three of four decades before, the situation of Turkey in the free market was very poor. There was no opportunity to find a product of a brand that is famous world widely. You could not buy cola, you could not buy blue jeans, you could not buy good fashioned cars, etc. You can’t even taste the traditional foods of the other countries, like Italian foods or Chinese cuisine. I may give much more interesting example that in the late 1970s, nearly all of the cinemas, including the major ones in the country had closed or in fact, crashed. Maybe you may not believe but, until the closing, in every town in every city, even in the many of the villages, there were cinemas. But after that, people could not find a cinema to watch the new picture of Marlon Brando or Robert De Niro even in

Throughout the various texts and films we observed this semester, there were a multitude of underlying themes associated with each. These themes do not live in a textual or film related vacuum, but rather offer major implications on given Middle Eastern cultures. In the fictional film Offside, directed by Jafar Panahi, he decides to zero in on the complex culture within Iran. He illustrates the culture within Iran by employing the 2006 World Cup qualifying soccer match between Iran and Bahrain as a metaphor of the various social dynamics attached to this sporting event and the country as a whole. That said, there are numerous underlying themes associated with this film. In this paper, however, I will
