I have always been one to spend my time watching things that others wouldn 't think to watch. I have seen things like “The Wind Rises” by Hayao Miyazaki, “Queen” by Vikas Bahl and my favorite “Mary Kom” by Omung Kumar. From documentaries to animes, to silent films. I have dabbled in a little of everything so far. I am known to watch a few of these to pass my summer as well. So, when it came time to watch the foreign film “The Lives of Others” directed by Florian Henckel von Donnersmarck, I was fully aware of what to expect. From the subtitles to funny English accents, to sharpening my skill of being able to read the words and focus on the action at hand. You could say I 'm somewhat of an expert in those areas. Thank you anime! The movie was …show more content…
I thought it would be a movie about how Weisler made the youth of the nation into Stasi members. Maybe show us how the tactics he used in the beginning of the movie were used throughout history. I was always interested in these things, I even went home and told my family and friends about the movie we were watching and I made sure they were just as excited as I was. When we had gotten done watching this film, I was most definitely thrown for a loop and so much more into the movie than I originally thought I would be. A movie that helps to project this fact is the movie “Mary Kom”. This movie is about one of India’s most well-known female boxer’s, who makes history by winning the gold medal in Women’s International Boxing and even though she faced difficult choices and circumstances from being a woman in a predominantly male sport, she came out on top. She battles with men telling her she will never be good enough, her outrageous temper, her father who doesn’t believe his one daughter should be out with men, learning the ways of a man. He thinks that she should be home helping with the family, learning how she can become a better woman and eventually get married to someone who can not only take care of her but her family. This movie was mostly a documentary on this woman named “Mary Kom”, but the way it was portrayed to …show more content…
With some movies, for example, Japanese movies, they tend to change up the meaning of the words that have been said to better fit in with what is actually being said. Which is why I love to watch certain movies in English and then go back to compare it to the actual subbed version. This movie had lots of different angles to it for me that made reading every word important. One of my favorite scenes was when Stasi officer Gerd Wiesler started to cover up for Georg Dreyman the playwright in the film, and his girlfriend Christa-Maria Sieland. Dreyman is asked by his friends to write an article about the suicide rate in Germany that is being covered up and it would be shipped off to the other side of Germany. Part such as this would have been great to have heard in English instead of dividing my attention between words and the actual picture, but even with all my experience in watching foreign films this talent still needs a certain amount of attention and effort to execute correctly to not miss anything that is going on or being
The first thing about this film that caught my eye from a sociological perspective is that the society in the film is not depicted as a “perfect society” as most films do, instead it shows the real conflicts that society had back then with certain subjects. The film shows us the prejudices, and misconceptions that people had about things like sex, and homosexuality at the time.
For Conclusion, director Spielberg and writer Zusak both achieve goals of appealing to the readers pathos and logos. Director Spielberg focusing on guilt that occurs during war, and writer Zusak focusing on how courage and cawardice can be a disadvsntage or advantage based on the situatuion. Both movie and book taken place during World War II .
It tells the “true” story of Salomon Perel, a young Jewish man trying to survive during World War II who eventually becomes a Nazi solider. Even if the appearance of the author of the memoir on which the film is based to assert the authenticity of the story was odd, especially in light of the fact that some of the events and situations in the film were exaggerated and in some cases completely fictional. It seems that the director was trying to justify the film, which was unnecessary. Mr. Perel, who unquestionably survived the war on the strength of his icy nerve, modestly casts himself more as Everyman than hero ( Engelberg,
The seriousness is enough to make you lose faith in humanity for a second, but catch your attention and evoke deep and reflection thought into the truth that goes on in the part of society that is unknowingly ignored by the population because it gets constantly overshadowed by media and the government. More importantly, the film reminds us that progress will move forward only when those at the top of authority realize they need to relate with and answer to the people who want change, answer to the voices of people those broken, traumatized, who truly need
...ut boxing, it's a movie about what it means to be a man, a father, and a legend. It's about a man who works hard to support his family, teach his kids to be honest, and communicates delight in his wife with every glance. As Mae says to Jim in a late scene, "You're the Bulldog of Bergen, the Pride of New Jersey, you're everybody's hope, you're your kids' hero, and the champion of my heart."
Within the German Democratic Republic, there was a secret police force known as the Stasi, which was responsible for state surveillance, attempting to permeate every facet of life. Agents within and informants tied to the Stasi were both feared and hated, as there was no true semblance of privacy for most citizens. Directed by Florian Henckel von Donnersmarck, the movie The Lives of Others follows one particular Stasi agent as he carries out his mission to spy on a well-known writer and his lover. As the film progresses, the audience is able to see the moral transformation of Stasi Captain Hauptmann Gerd Wiesler primarily through the director 's use of the script, colors and lighting, and music.
Society becomes so rationalized that one must push himself to the extreme in order to feel anything or accomplish anything. The more you fight in the fight club, the tougher and stronger you become. Getting into a fight tests who you are. No one helps you, so you are forced to see your weaknesses. The film celebrates self-destruction and the idea that being on the edge allows you to be beaten because nothing really matters in your life.
‘Das Leben der Anderen’ (The Lives of Others) is a striking example of how a director can convey narrative links within a film by employing various styles and film techniques. The Lives of Others relies upon these visual means to assist with the telling of the story as much as it relies upon the script. In this selected sequence of the film, several narrative links are drawn here to form the conclusion of ‘Operation Lazlo’. These narrative links are further cemented by Donnersmarck’s use of various lighting styles, diegtic and non-diegtic sound, revealing camera shots and intricate mise-en-scene.
...iewpoint. From a family morning for their loss, seeking safety and finally seeing Tutsi rebel group fighting the Hutus Extremist at the end symbolizing strength. The film would have been better if there was more than one viewpoint of the movie; it seemed to focus mostly on Paul Rusesabagina. When Paul Rusesabagina saved other families maybe the movie should have picked two or more families who were in the same situation. Some families who were guarded by Paul Rusesabagina had a different situation because they did not have any money to bribe the Hutu extremist as he did for his family, so it would seem fair to at least show another side of the story. I would recommend the film to another student because the storyline is very emotional and catchy. It is based on a true story which not very many people know about it because it was ignored by the media and the world.
Reflective Practice is a continuous action that directly affects anyone who is a practitioner. Jasper (2006, p. 53) argued that the benefit to the profession is in the development of the nursing knowledge base and in the recognition that nurses are contributing to both patient care and improved practice. Further, Jasper (2006, p. 43) explains that Reflective Practice is the foundation upon which reflection and reflective learning are based. Jasper illustrated this process graphically with the following Reflective Process equation.
Although there were many concepts that were present within the movie, I choose to focus on two that I thought to be most important. The first is the realistic conflict theory. Our textbook defines this as, “the view that prejudice...
The movie is a very moving, sensitive and emotional story of redemption. The tale of how a young heartless thug can change into a softhearted guardian. This demonstrates that despite the poor living conditions, awful events and how heartless someone may seem. You can adapt to your surroundings and situations, you can also transform your life. Everyone has good in them you just choose whether to value it and utilize it or not appreciate it and discard it.
One can find caring practices in many aspects of human life. Usually parents care for their young children, and children care for their older parents, husbands and wives care for their spouses, etc. In the professional scope, usually healthcare professionals associated with care. The foundation of nursing practice is an idea of caring. “Caring is important for many reasons, but is considered crucial for quality healthcare” (Tanking, 2010, p.3). So, what does caring actually mean?
Psychology deals with the study of mental processes and a variety of behaviors. In order to fully comprehend ourselves, we need to understand the causes of our behaviors and our outlook on life. Habits and behaviors have positive and negative effects in our life. When we know ourselves and learn about our unique personality, we can develop and pursue goals. Psychology also helps us to understand other people and the differences of people. Gaining this knowledge can improve the relationships and enhance our communication skills. Throughout the psychology course I gained knowledge in various areas, and the topics that impacted me the most included: the introvert, anxiety disorders, stress management, self discipline and how to develop strong relationships.
One's dream and aspirations to supersede in life must be stronger and greater than limitations set forth by others. The experience that were bestowed to me during my short life has elevated me to the woman I am today. Please walk with me as I give you the opportunity to see the world from my eyes:
