The French Movie Welcome : Movie By Philippe Lioret

Though they begin as scared kids and wish to be invisible, the characters in “Refugee” must become more mature to protect their families by Stepping up when times are hard and difficult to accomplish what they needed to accomplish

Imagine not having a safe spot. A place where you don't feel protected. A place where you're not frightened. A place where you're not scared of dying if you don't leave immediately. In Refugee by Alan Gratz three characters are refugees in different times, going through the same experience of fleeing the life they knew. The 1930’s: Josef, a Jewish boy living through the Holocaust, must flee Germany on a ship headed to Cuba. 1994: Isabel, a Cuban girl living through riots and protests, flees Cuba on a makeshift boat after the Soviet Union collapsed. 2015: Mahmoud, a Syrian boy living through the Syrian Civil War, must leave Syria with his family after his home is bombed. All three of these realistic characters are experiencing the same journey,

The article, “Refugees: Who, Where, and Why” by Catherine Gevert is about different refugees in the world, where they are from and why they became refugees in the first place. The first concept the author talked about was, around the world, many refugees have had to flee, to escape to safety after being mistreated in their own country. Refugees are protected by law and given basic civil rights when going to different countries. Another key point she talks about is where these people are and in the article shows us that refugee camps are located throughout the world, but are not the best living conditions. Many refugees go here for asylum. Furthermore, some reasons people can become refugees are because of, war and “ethnic cleansing”, also known

Commentary 1: Refugees areal deadly facing an awful life and a tough screening process, but even after it is all over their lives will still be far worse than ours. They will be disrespected and have trouble socially fitting into this new

Babel is a film about communication. There are four main storylines, which involved four countries and five languages. However, the director used a rifle to link up the four stories together aptly, which makes it a coherent movie. The first storyline was about the married American couple, Richard and Susan. They travelled to Morocco, but Susan was shot during the journey. Another storyline was about the two brothers lived in Morocco, and one of them unintentionally shot Susan. The third storyline was about the Mexican woman, Amelia. She was the baby-sitter of the Richard family. And finally, the last one is about a deaf Japanese girl, Chieko. Chieko desperately want to be loved and to be cared. However, she seriously

The film then introduces the avenues for people, refugees or otherwise, to make an application for immigration to Canada. Scenes at an airport demonstrate the humiliation of political refugees who claim asylum upon arriving in Canada, immediately having to explain their illegitimate documents and the threat to their lives in their home country. They’re ushered to another room to be photographed with a number.

Aarhus is a city in central Denmark that has accepted Somali refugees to come and get away from the terror group known as ISIS. Initially, the town was very peaceful after the refugees arrived, but soon discrimination started to emerge. Many of the refugees couldn’t handle it any longer and after some time, police noticed that a number of refugees were leaving Aarhus to join the terror group they originally fled. Most surrounding countries would not tolerate this kind of behavior and would brutally punish those who left, seeing them as traitors to the state. Aarhus, on the other hand, took another approach and instead of punishing those who left, they let them know that they were allowed to come back at any time without consequences. Surprisingly, this worked, many of those who left the terror group saw their mistake and came back only to feel as though they were welcomed and could actually start a new life. In an article written by Hanna Rosin she describes this program and shows that if you never give up on people, they can make their own life better: “Since the initial exodus of young people, very few have left from Aarhus for Syria”. Some situations can seem very similar in some aspects and seem vastly different in others. For example, the previous story about Aarhus, Denmark, and the article written by Steve Baron on inmates who saved three boys from drowning are very different situations.

Even though our real-world scenario in 2017 is not as drastic as what it is proposed in Children of Men, the similarities do exist between our society and the film. Furthermore, with the recent Paris attacks, some countries are hesitant to welcome thousands of children, women, and men who endure the intolerable chaos, violent civil wars, extreme poverty and totalitarian government in their former country. Governments around the world quickly spread fear that refugees will menace the life and security of the citizens. The world is changing, but control and resistance will accomplish nothing.

Shawn Pogatchnik shows how important the fact that so many migrants are trying to flee to Germany and other EU countries by using statistics. Pogatchnik states that the EU countries “...has seen more than 332,000 migrants enter so far this year.” He also says that Germany “...is expecting to take in 800,000 migrants in this year.” When people read the article, they realize that what is going on must be bad enough for hundreds of thousands of people to want to flee their own country to enter another European country.

Thanks for getting back to me. I would love to interview Patrice. I will definitely reach out to her. I would love to see her get more exposure and could submit that article to the Huffington Post or the Queenhood.

This paper will discuss various elements of mise-en-scene, specifically; character development, lighting, performance, costume, makeup in the film "Casablanca".(Michael Curtiz,1942) The setting of the story sets the tone for the entire film. Shots of tanks and planes show the violence of war that coincides with the cutthroat city that is Casablanca. From there, those sentiments are reinforced when a man is shot in the street while another man pick pockets someone whom is distracted. The mood of the movie stays on the dark side of things when we enter Rick's Café, where we meet our protagonist played by Humphrey Bogart. In this scene we are treated to the jaded portrayal of night club owner. We see his utter disregard for a French woman

Anemona Hartocollis, a reporter for The New York Times, documents what it is like for these refugees trying to cross the border. She writes about a group of people who were trying to cross the border from Flensburg, Germany. The train that they were traveling on was stopped was stopped by the police. They escorted them to a building where everyone was given foam mattresses, blankets, hot food, and even balls for the children to play with. At first glance, this may seem like a

The film Amelie provides multiple examples of individuals sacrificing, and applying Campbell 's moral objective to their own lives. One of the people from the film that follow the objective is Dominique Bretodeau. When he was a young boy, he lost his treasure box. Directly after it was returned to him from a stranger, he began to tear up over the lost memories that the box contained. He then confides in people at the bar that he has not spoken to his daughter in years, and because of this does not know his grandson. This simple act of kindness was enough to make Bretodeau sacrifice his pride enough to reconcile with his daughter and grandson. He had no idea if his family was going to open their arms, or push him away for being away for so long. This failed to stop Bretodeau. This journey of becoming a hero was a spiritual one. Most of the conflict happened within his own heart. A small act of thoughtfulness helped a man choose to create a better life for him, and his estranged family.

The French are all about preserving their culture and being individualized. They often take great pride in the French products and the French style, and believe in keeping the French culture “pure” so they also limit the amount of foreign goods that are being imported. But during the World Wars the French began to allow foreigners to immigrate into France to take jobs due to an increase in job shortages. The immigration from the World Wars added to the diversity of the French culture. Ever since the 1850’s there has been a steady flow of immigration into France, and now nine percent of the French population is made up of immigrants (Gofen 62). The break down of the cultures in France is eighty-five percent of the French population is Roman

Cinematic Codes in Moulin Rouge All four cinematic codes work together in a film to inform the audience's understanding of a film and to convey meaning and the ideology in a preferred reading favoured by the film-maker so that the audience interprets the film in the way intended. In the film Moulin Rouge (Luhrman, 2000, US) the cinematic codes, mise-en-scene, sound, cinematography and editing all work well together in the opening sequence to set up the film-maker's preferred reading. The film opens with a conductor on a stage in a grand theatre, signifying a 'show' which links well with the idea behind Moulin Rouge, informing the audience that it is like a show. The curtains behind the
