...of Hindustani and western instruments to enhance his songs. For instance, in the song “Rangeela Re” he has wonderfully used a change of dynamics. Also, he has used western instruments such as the saxophone very effectively in “Tanha Tanha”. Furthermore, A.R Rahman is also acknowledged for his simple, rhythmic and catchy songs. For instance, “Tanha Tanha” and “Kya Kare Kya Na Kare” were two sensual compositions of his. Thus, his use of musical instruments is exclusive because he uses such a variety. Consequently, the fame A.R Rahman has achieved is from his distinctiveness from other music composers. He won two filmfare awards for best music director and new music talent. A.R Rahman’s achievements has taken Indian music to a next level and made his compositions unforgettable. Overall, the film was a huge success as it was nominated for many Bollywood Film Awards.
In the film the music is very important. At the beginning it is set at
To fully understand the relationship between a filmmaker and a composer, it is helpful to take a closer look at the filmmaker’s position towards music in film in general; these can of course differ substantially from one director to another. It seems, one must think, that the complete narrative and emotive potential of film music is not yet fully recognized and appreciated in many film produc...
fragmented by the interruptions of song and dance, lending a sense of unreality. I believe Mira Nair successfully achieved her aim to make a Bollywood film on her own terms. As a director, she effectively combined the techniques of sound, editing, costume, colour and location to produce a fairly unique Bollywood film. Her message of the continuing modernisation of India, and her criticisms of both the societies she illustrates in the film comes across clearly, as do the more controversial points she brings up that Bollywood, as a film industry, does not typically address. Its appeal and effectiveness can be measured by the huge range of global audiences it has attracted, both Western and Eastern, which indicates that she accomplished her goal of making a realistic movie, breaking the traditional Bollywood mould.
In addition to, the main actors in the film looked the part and associated with the main idea of the culture of an Indian family. For instance, Samir’s appearance showed he had drifted away from his family’s culture and developed a professional understanding and love for the cooking industry. Farida’s appearance showed she was highly involved with her
Hence, their interviews could help audiences better understand the issue, and also elevate the seriousness of the issue of women’s oppression in foreign countries, which could raise the audience’s awareness towards the issue. However, the use of celebrities to narrate the film is ineffective in delivering the main message of the film. In the film, famous actresses or models like Eva Mendes play the role of narratives of the film and there are long parts in the film where the actresses are asked about their feelings towards the oppression. However, The actresses lacked background knowledge of the oppression in the countries. After seeing and hearing the stories from the girls, the actresses are shocked and they even shed tears. This may shift the audience’s focus from the girls who are oppressed to the actresses who sympathize with the girls. Besides, having the actresses narrate the film makes the film subjective as their personal feelings are

The spreading of Christian views and beliefs were very popular amongst the French and Spanish societies. Both the French and Spanish missionaries took it upon themselves to travel to the “New World” to spread the message of Christ. Many of the missionaries were not prepared to deal with the very different lifestyles and religious views that the natives had. The missionaries had to use many tactics to relay the message of Christ to the native people of the Americas. Many missionaries would struggle at converting the natives while on their religious quest to mission. Both the French and the Spanish would feel as though it is their duty to try and convert these pagan believers to Catholicism. This would ultimately lead to conflict amongst the different cultures. This paper will discuss the many different tactics used by both the French and Spanish missionaries in trying to convert and spread Catholicism. It will also discuss how they also viewed the lifestyle and culture of the natives. Lastly I will discuss how the natives responded to the missionaries and what they thought of these foreign invaders.
Now the media is dubbing these famous 'love scenes' as rape and molestation of actors involved. We had a chat with actor Priyamani and sought her experience of acting in a disturbing scene in one of her films. Her Muththazhagu character from 2007 blockbuster Paruthiveeran is one of the landmarks in her acting career. The film's climax scene turned this romantic drama into a gut-wrenching tragedy.
Redefining the concept of Third World Feminism, Nair emphasizes on the importance of the female voice. We encounter the bride, Aditi, for the first time, on the sets of Delhi.com as the camera zooms in to focus on an intimate kiss that she has with Vikram. A savvy woman of the city, she does not get sentimental about the possibility of Vikram divorcing his wife for she has read too many magazines to know that it might never happen. She enters into an arranged marriage with Hemant not out of any kind of parental pressure or hopelessness but out of the choice to settle down. She makes rational decisions but not at the cost of curbing her desire. Even as the family engages in the preparations for the wedding, she is found to be repeatedly making phone-calls to her ex-boyfriend. This stands in contrast to the western portrait of third world women, usually idealized as the subjugated subject. Even before the wedding, she sneaks out of the house at midnight to meet him. Through the scene of lovemaking, she emerges as a woman who has power over her body, one who can make her own sexual choices and can also, literally, drive away from the man who leaves her vulnerable among the police to face the consequences. As women who exercise their agency, the film portrays characters who take the risk of transgressing the normative order. Pimmi may transgress by smoking, though behind closed doors while Ayesha will make no mystery of her desire for Rahul. Sexual
Also, the film revealed women empowerment and how superior they can be compared to men.

Motion pictures have been around for a long time. They are popular all over the world. When people think of motion pictures, Hollywood always pops in their heads. As great and as popular as Hollywood is, there is a larger film industry in the world, and it’s not in the U.S. The largest film industry in the world is called Bollywood and it is located in Bombay, India. Bollywood puts out on the average eight hundred movies a year, which means two movies are cranked out every day. (Ninian pg 1)
Through the use of different musical techniques including dynamics, key choice, call and response pattern and rhythm, this song has been able to enhance the movie by establishing important aspects of this movie. This song does very well to create a mood and setting for this song and the movie that could not be created by images. The positive and uplifting mood of the song is very important as it helps to show the hope and inspiration that Simba brings to the rest of the animal kingdom.
Ethics is the branch of philosophy that involves systematizing, defending, and recommending concepts of right and wrong conduct.
Sound is what brings movies to life, but, not many viewers really notice. A film can be shot with mediocre quality, but, can be intriguing if it has the most effective foley, sound effects, underscore, etc. Sound in movies band together and unfold the meaning of the scenes. When actors are speaking, the dialogue can bring emotion to the audience, or, it can be used as the ambient sound. Music is one of the main things to have when filmmaking. The use of Claudia Gorbman’s Seven Principles of Composition, Mixing and Editing in Classical Film gives audiences a perspective of sound, and, how it can have an impact on them.
The importance of music in movies is highly regarded for manipulating the viewer’s emotions and helping them immerse into the story. Music is one of the prime elements in cinema. Without it a movie would feel dull and unexciting. There are three elements in a movie: one is acting, the second is picture, and the third one is music. It is a holy trinity; if incomplete, there would be a lack of sensation and excitement. Both acting and picture can stand independently from one another, but music is the one that makes the movie memorable.
