The Theme Of Cuilt In Cach�, By Michael Haneke

Identity is an essential part of all our lives. Our actions determine our identity, and in turn, our identity structures our actions. One’s desire to seek a self-identity is an essential for the alignment of his or her pursuit of happiness. However, when such desire to fulfill one’s standards grows too strong, one might neglect other parts of his or her life. This neglect could lead to graver consequences, such as one’s sensations of failure and even his own downfall. In movie Citizen Kane, the director Orson Welles presents a complex and pessimistic theme of a spiritually-failed man, Charles Foster Kane, through discovering his life story from several perspective by different characters, to tell a tragic epic story of a “rags-to-riches” child

Satire with a funny twist. In the novel The Princess Bride, William Goldman satirizes both fairy tales and the standard literary process through his characters and their actions. Westley, a poor farmer, falls in love with the far from perfect maiden, Buttercup, but has to sail away in order to find his fortunes. Years later, Buttercup, thinking that Westley abandoned her, is forcibly engaged to Prince Humperdinck, a cruel and calculating man. Vizzini, Fezzik, and Inigo, three mysterious kidnappers, abduct the princess in hopes of causing war between the great nations of Guilder and Florin. These events and characters mirror those in a common fairy tale, but with many twists to them. The author, William Goldman, uses both his role as the

“Guilt is cancer. Guilt will confine you, torture you, destroy you. It’s a black wall. It’s a thief “ (Grohl). Guilt consumes you with every evil pondering present within the atmosphere. Carrying it brings resentment and death of the spirit, tormenting and haunting you for the rest of your days. It’s like filling a sack full of heavy rocks and never giving yourself the opportunity to rest. In Gary Soto’s personal narrative “The Pie”, he expresses his guilt as a 6-year-old child.

There are age related conflicts, cultural conflicts, religious conflicts and value based conflicts.  This movie is a film highlighting many cultural conflicts.  These conflicts continuously erupt in a working class Michigan neighborhood.  We will first examine a scene with religious cultural conflict. In the same scene we will see age based cultural conflict as well.  Next, we will examine a racial cultural conflict between the Hmong people and an American. After examining cultural conflicts, we will show two examples of popular culture in the film.  Then, we will provide the conflict management styles we would have employed to bring the same result as the current ending without the bloodshed and a general opinion of the film.

The holocaust has effected more lives than anybody could imagine, the tragedy has not only affected those who were there or primarily affected but those of every generation to come after that. This illustrated by Art and Vladek’s inability to get along, Vladek’s personality quirks, Anja’s suicide, Art’s guilt, are all factors that contributed to the rocky family relationship the Spieglemans had, and are all due to the horrors of the holocaust.

Rafik’s point of view is that we should not always look at someone’s ancestral relations to come for a conclusion. We should always look at the “Khandaan’s” present situation. But Rafik’s father explained that if someone has commit a mistake in the past that does not mean the entire “Khandaan” is to be blamed “Just because one person does something stupid doesn’t change the fact that the person is from a good family.”
