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
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
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 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 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.
Worry ends when faith in God begins. Faith has been a part of history since the beginning of time and has remained constant throughout life today. Anne Bradstreet’s poem, “Burning House”, examines pure faith and the cry for God’s love in a time of need. Alongside of the poem from 1666, the movie ‘Courageous’, produced by Stephen Kendrick, represents during a tragedy, it is not always easy to keep a focused mind on the Lord, but the most significant way to be led through a tough time, is to praise the Lord. Anne Bradstreet’s poem and the movie ‘Courageous’, shows the relentless love from the Lord in a time of an aching heart.
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
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
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
The city of Jerusalem has been recognized as the holy city throughout the history of three religions: Judaism, Christianity and Islam. During the time of Judaism, Biblical writers presented Jerusalem as the most sacred space, the center of the world, and the city of the Lord. A leading interpreter of religious texts, Mircea Eliade, in his book The Sacred and The Profane, defined several religious experiences with specific terminologies, such as hierophany, which means the sign of sacredness, and axis mundi, which is the center of the world. These terminologies will help us in interpreting how the biblical writers promote Jerusalem as the holy city. In the Hebrew Bible Genesis 1-3, 22, 2 Samuel 6-8, 1 King 6-8, the writers reveal Jerusalem
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.
Across the world, protest groups are gaining momentum in the fight against Fracking. Many concerns among the local populations include fears for industrialized landscapes, increased power of multinational enterprises, ground and surface water pollution, food production and general human and environmental health (De Rijke 2013). These are becoming important issues to the general public. The increasing awareness about the dangers of fracking are being told from media sources such as the documentary “Gasland.” The film directed by Josh Fox, about was nominated for an Academy Award 2011. The documentary is famous for showing tap water burst into flames due to methane gas contamination.
*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.
