Thesis: In the documentary “Scared Sacred”, the director Velcrow Ripper demonstrated that hope can be found in the darkest places and times. Using unique filming techniques he is able to let us into these people's lives, showing us the brutal reality these people go through everyday, and how they cope with it.
Camera Techniques: This type of filming technique was used very well in this film because in Bhopal India there were many shoots of the Union Carbide plant, and the size of it showing that the pesticides that were leaked could have gone on for kilometers, also they took lots of close ups of the people who still are effected today. This helped me understand what they were going through. But there was also shoots of the people happy, there was a medical centre built just for the gas survivors and how they found a refugee in all the chaos of India.

The young girls were interviewed and as each one told their story, I thought to myself, these girls have so much courage to go against the taliban, and how they are so independent because most of their parents were killed, so education is their only way out. If I was in that position, I feel I would not be able to do anything about it, kind of helpless. Also in one of the interviews the woman face was kept covered in fear someone will see this film and kill her, which really hit me hard, it is a real threat, and you have to be careful of what you say to anyone at anytime. But still the women of afghanistan hold strong together, and are creating a new life for the next generation of afghan
I really enjoyed this documentary because it made me realize just how lucky I am for the life I was given. It changed my perception of happiness in so many ways. It made me realize that I have more than I need to live a happy life. Other people around the world don’t have as nice of a house or even a house at all to live in and are so much happier than I am and that is something that sparked my attention. For example, the man who lives in India, Manoj Singh, he lives in what looks like poverty to me, but to him, he lives well. There are times where his family are only able to eat rice and he has no air conditioning in his home, but he still remains a very happy man. When he mentioned that there are times where his family only eats rice, it instantly made me feel awful because I have all the food in the world around me and I still take it for granted some days. I also take my family for granted at times. For instance, the man from Louisiana, his family and friends are what make him happy the most. He is simply grateful for them while
The durability of clay has brought forth an immense abundance of Greek pottery, a craft mastered by Athenian artists. Archeologists have found hundreds of varieties in creation, shape, function, style, and artwork in Archaic vases. The museum has been blessed with one of these priceless artifacts; it is the duty of this establishment to accumulate as much data as possible surrounding the vase. In first identifying technique, dimensions, and condition, as well as describing shape, ornament, and figural scenery, one may then begin to analyze the vase. This serves the general purpose of understanding where the artifact stands in Greek culture and history. Through the examination and research of figural scenes, it is then possible to compare
One day on an August 23 ,2006 in New Orleans ,Lousiana a boy named Matt Clarl was a troubled child.Then on that same day he had a scary dream that didnt change him.So his mom changed him by telling him to lets go somewhere fun but it turned ut scary.
The film is centered on a group known as the Women’s Army. It is a group comprised of women who seek to eradicate the ever-present inequalities between males and females. They end up going on marches, networking with different radio shows and meeting together in order to find ways to educate women and the general public about the hypocritical nature of the government and its role in the social and economic status of women. In the beginning of the film we see men catcalling women as they walk down the street, harassing them while riding the subways, and even attempting to rape them in broad daylight. This highlights the impact of societies ideology about gender
The first thing I liked about this clip was the girls’ confidence. This greatly had a huge impact on the overall video and on me because these girls were confident with what they were saying. Anybody can say claims and counterclaims regarding what they are speaking for but, if they don’t have a loud, clear and strong
The images displayed were sharp and straight to the point. An example of this is seen when they are comparing Monsanto employees with the government employees. The camerawork was very good in this film and it helped the audience understand the movie more. Two examples of the good camerawork are when there was a high angle sweep shot over cattle farms showing how many cows there were and how cramped they were and another is the perspective shot of the shopper in the supermarket showing the choices of food all made by the same
e majority of the marriages in Afghanistan are still being forced till this day which sorrowful in my opinion. I don't think honor killings should occur in any country. I can’t believe the victim that is raped has to go to jail for something that she doesn't control. I found that very unfair and horrible to imagine. Afghanistan, in general, doesn't view women as actual women because it shows that they can take advantage of any female and the victim will get punished for it. It breaks my heart knowing that women are being treated so bad especially I was raised by women, so I tend to have a lot of emotions when it comes to women's rights which are being violated on a vast scale throughout the book. However, Azita came across and was one of the few women who was very brave of her because, In Afghanistan, a culture ruled almost entirely by men, so it's difficult for women to have a voice for
Sadly, the backgrounds that the girls have view them as the others enemy. One girl in the video states how even though she and another girl are friends, she is going to be the one wearing the enemy’s uniform. She describes the ordeal as “stupid.” I understand how it would be stupid because the girls’ backgrounds intervene with their friendship. Acceptance plays a role in their relationship heavily. The girls had to learn about each other and open their gates of acceptance to see that they are not so different despite where they came
The video begins by explaining the large scale of the operation as basic information about how the girls traveled to America. The video made points that the girls were told they were going to have a better life but never told they would be working as sex laborers. They followed to explain that conditions that many of the women faced on a day to day basis. They shifted focus to give details about different jobs within organization, including, facilitators and runners. They conclude by saying
The tension in this film eventually built up to the point of senseless violence against each other. This just proves that there is no room for accommodation and cooperation of any kind in the near future. It would work best if all groups could come to a mutual understanding of each other and except the fact that they must learn to live in peace and as neighbors.
This film explores the cyclical nature of life and death and how people really can create their own realities. It explores how ones cope with tragedy, death and even life. What Dreams May Come shows how the love of
We can refer to the documentary “The man who saw too much” as a primary way to seek a better understanding of what this culture has hidden within its scars. The documentary which was Directed
Overall I thought this was a really good movie. I thought it taught you a lot about diversity, women’s rights, poverty and peace. The movie was a very touching and inspiring movie; there is also a lot of emotion due to what they had to deal with on an everyday basis. To me the movie and their stories really teach you that you should be aware of your surroundings and to be helpful in your
*I find it hard to believe the things the abductor did to torture the young girls. It is difficult to believe that someone could be so cruel to hurt a young child for no reason.
In Eliade’s The Sacred and the Profane, he accentuates the inevitable distinction between the sacred and profane.This develops when an individual tries to establish himself in his world and acknowledges his own individuality of the worldly and physical spaces he takes up. Chaos seems to be in the areas where the profane governs and there are no principles in a profane universe. The idea of the sacred comes from knowledge itself. The brahmanas defines religion and human existence with the sacredness embedded in water which brings forth life.
