The Body Film Analysis

The book “Love and Honor in the Himalayas: Coming to know another culture” is ethnography by Ernestine McHugh. In the beginning of the book, the author talks about how she developed her interest in the field of anthropology during her undergraduate study since “at that time [she] knew little about [it,] but [she] had mapped out a project relating to culture and the aesthetics of life” (McHugh). It was her mentor Gregory Bateson, under whom she had developed this project who inspired her to carry out this project in Nepal. Although her attempts at writing about her experience failed the first time, during her graduate schooling she was encouraged by her advisor Roy D’Andrade to continue. This book revolves around the ethnic Gurung community who live at the foothills of the Annapurna Mountain; just about thirty miles up from the famous tourist destination in Nepal called Pokhara. At the age of twenty-one, the village where the author lived was called “Tebas.” Although Nepal is a country filled with people who follow Hinduism and the official language is Nepalese, she chooses a place in north central Nepal where people mostly spoke in their own ethnic language which is very similar to Tibetan on contrary to the popular Nepalese language. In this book she talks about how she fully immerses herself in the field work and in the process tells the story of the people who let her in their house and more importantly made her a part of their family. Throughout her stay she was treated

In the reading “The Brown Girl’s Guide to Labels” by Mathangi Subramanian, the author talks about the obstacles she faced growing up as a minority and the different lives her white friends lived compared to her. Growing up as a minority myself, I can relate to some of the experiences Subramanian had. One thing that really caught my attention was how Subramanian never viewed herself as a feminist because “only white girls call themselves that”. I also had a problem with this and never really viewed myself as a feminist until this class. I found it extremely interesting that the author never truly labeled herself a feminist even after her mother declared herself as one until she read an article written by Chandra Mohanty,

I chose to do my research paper on the colorful and extraordinarily detailed mural titled “Dhrtarastra (Dharma King of the East Direction) with 16 Attendants” by Shashi Dhoj Tulachand. Shashi is also known as Guru Nawang Chhogyall Tenzin is a 69 year- old spiritual leader of the Chhairo gompa, a branch of Tibetan Buddhism from Tuksche, a remote village located in Mustang, Nepal's northernmost district, adjacent to Tibet. He is a master in Buddhist thangka painting who is committed to re-establishing the lost teaching tradition of Chhairo gompa. Shashi comes from a long line of Buddhist artists, his father Kamal Dhoj Tulachan, and grandfather were responsible for many wall paintings and statues to be found in gompas, chortens and private household shrines in the villages of the Thak Kola and the upper Kali Gandaki area.

We intend it to consist of two different levels, the first one being dedicated exclusively to a painting exhibit and a compilation of media productions where the concepts of Indian of Myth and Indian of Fact meet. This exhibit will try to make the audience understand the culture and traditions of the Indians of old

To close the essay Venkatachalam exemplifies the “difference in understanding art intellectually and appreciating it aesthetically” (185). Both allow the audience to better comprehend the artwork but one appeals the brain while the other appeals to the

The first exhibit, Gates of the Lord: The Tradition of Krishna Paintings, is a must see. This exhibit focus on the Hindu culture. The artwork is focused on Krishna, Hindu deity, and other religious symbols. The exhibit reveals how people worship throughout the year. The music playing in the background is traditional Indian music. The walls are specifically painted to enhance the artwork. The artwork contains large amount of gold color in them. The art work has Krishna wear gold jewelry and fancy apparel. The skin of Krishna has a very pretty dark blue. The face is intense as well. The rugs are impressive as well. The rugs have cows and flowery images in

The film opens with an alarming prologue sequence of a derange man in the emergency room brought in by the highway patrol. He is raving about an unknown danger and claims he is not crazy. He is introduced to Dr. Hill (Whit Bissel), a psychiatrist who wants to hear his story. The man reveals that he is a doctor too and urgently recounts the events of the last week. The screen fades into a flashback to when Dr. Miles Bennell (Kevin McCarthy), is returning home to Santa Mira, California, from a business trip, and states, “At first glance, everything looked the same. It wasn't. Something evil had taken possession of the town.”

The best use of 3D in films comes when a filmmaker is trying to absorb the audience into a different world. Scorsese's *Hugo* leads the audience into Scorsese's magical and whimsical Paris with a gorgeous train staton. *Coraline* draws the audience into Coraline's disturbing alternative life. *Avatar* literally creates a separate world and realizes it with 3D. Marvel's *Doctor Strange*, while not equal in overall cinematic quality to these films, uses 3D incredibly well to align the audience with Doctor Strange and experience the kaleidoscopic "other" dimensional worlds of the film. These extraordinary moments of 3D stand in stark contrast with the flatter, more ordinary world Doctor Strange used to live in before he became a sorcerer/guy with a beard.

Twenty-two veterans a day, every hour kill themselves. On January 25, 2016 my cohorts and I were afforded the opportunity to take a sneak peek into one of the only crisis hotline centers in the United States. This call center receives about 22,000 calls a day. The firm Crisis Hotline Veteran’s Press One allowed us to see how counselors deal with their crisis calls. The film gave me a new found respect for those professionals working in the crisis hotline arena. The film lets us hear different story’s from counselor’s working in the crisis center. These stories were told from the counselors’ point of view.

The media can strongly effect what we perceive our body shape to be and what we believe our body shape should be. While it is primarily believed to affect women, more research is beginning to focus on male and various gender identities’ eating and body image issues. Adolescents and young adults are at the greatest risk of having eating and body image issues that can cause mental health concerns. This can lead to dangerous, unhealthy habits in all genders. In this lab, we hope to examine the relationship between various self-reports of behavior, cognitions, and feelings towards body image, eating, and societal standards of body shape.

Jessica Bendinger’s drama/sports film Stick it is a film that explores the life of elite gymnasts. There are many elements of Mise en scene used throughout the film. For instance lighting, music and camera angles help to make the audience feel involved and also interact with the characters within the film. Bendinger uses costuming throughout the film to help construct each character more like their stereotype. For example, one of the main characters always wears pink while the protagonist in the film wears dark colours and also colours that aren’t considered stereotypical for a female.

This article analyzes findings which state that the United States airport security measures promotes unreasonable searches and seizures, and violates the privacy of passengers, which is covered under The Fourth Amendment. The author also mentioned two major concerns travelers have with full-body screening processes. First being that their privacy is hindered, and secondly, their health is at risk. Travelers have encountered unethical actions of airport officials, who assured them that their belonging would be kept safe, only to learn that their personal items such as photos are on the worldwide web. A Florida Federal courthouse, prohibits the storing of full-body screening images after a United States Marshall, Gizmodo, saved 35,000 images

Women of all ages play the fashion codes rules and play the sexual appeal game. This models a poor image for young girls who then turn around and start playing the same game at a very early age. Juvenile pornography, vulgarity of language, and disrespect for adults are among the sad but real uprising consequences.

Like Water for Chocolate is a totally enchanting movie that has a dreamlike quality. But there are several suspicious actions in the movie, such as mother’s insistence and Pedro’s choice. It’s somewhat hard to understand why Tita’s mother block Tita from getting marry until she died, compare with mother’s sweet smile as gravida. But from the angle about love, we can understand that mother’s insistence is general in the Latin American culture. Likewise, mother’s insistence cause Tita that she was leaving with Pedro with the “shroud” in the middle of the movie, and challenge her mother’s authority. Additionally, we can understand why Tita went back to take care of her mother, why Pedro and Tita still cannot be together, even though she knows

Thailand is a country enveloped in much mystery and cultural tradition. This fact is reflected very clearly in a series of pictures taken from the article, “The Many Faces of Thailand” in the February 1996 issue of the National Geographic magazine, titled, “Into the Heart of Glaciers” I will attempt to analyze the way in which the pictures portray the richness of Thailand’s culture and people and prove this statement about the National Geographic’s photography, “They originated in a search for ways of teaching about the third world that did not objectify and were not paternalistic but that fostered both a sense of how lives around the globe are interconnected and a capacity for empathetic understanding.” (Collins, Lutz 3)
