There are movies that make you laugh, and there are movies that make you cry. Either you come out of the theater happy or come out sad. But once in a while you end up seeing a film which makes you think as you come out of the theater. You have a feeling of happiness and sadness both at same time. This is the topic about some special child or people who always want someone to understand them. We have one Hindi movie TaareZameen Par from Bellwood released in 2007,is one of those film.…
The film I decided to watch was the film on the activist/lawyer Gandhi. He was most known for his non-violent ways of getting his point across when the United Kingdom’s takeover of his home country India. Gandhi first emerged this protest when he was on a bus and he was forced to move to the back of the bus because he was an Indian man. This is when Gandhi first entered into the activist world and began to merge his country together and fight back without literally fighting. I think Gandhi was one of the most significant persons in the 20th century. He was the one who proved that it is possible to fight very successful without violence. He fought his whole life with humanity, tolerance, ideas and without violence. He showed the way to a better world. And still today there are many people who love him and who use his philosophy to change the world. A very important example is the fight against wars. Usually people who fight against a war try to fight without violence. Gandhi is motivated by religious means; he believes that everyone is equal in God's eyes. “An eye for an eye, makes the whole world blind” He gets involved in several movements for equality, and he stresses non-violence very strongly. The Indians are very mad because British rule continues to limit their rights. They are supposed to all get fingerprinted, and their marriage laws are invalid. Gandhi's followers vow to fight their oppressors to the death, but he discourages them from violence.…

In the 1920s, ‘modernity’ swept through America, with a enormous economic shift that transformed the pre world war one country from a society still rooted in a predominately agricultural small town past into the worlds primary industrialized urban nation with the formation of the city. It was through corporate capitalism, mass production and consumerism and the process of the mass media that this was done. Where Paris was THE city of the 19th Century, the 1920s New York city skyline boasted an arena for the circulation of bodies and goods, and the exercise of a consumer driven era, and it was women that were taking on these new roles of the consumer. Gone were the days of the 19th century cult of domesticity and in its place emerged the ‘new woman’ of the 1920s. Opportunities in all walks of life emerged for women, the possibility of work outside the home emerged and female secretaries sprung up throughout the new cities, thus enabling them to go shopping and become socially visible. This new ‘Female Marketplace’ fueled women’s desires for power, freedom and pleasure. Companies took advantage of this desire by advertising the purchase and consumption of mass-produced commodities such as cosmetics, fashion and home furnishings, saying that they were life’s ultimate gratification’s and worthy female activities.

The popularity of Bollywood produced films have steadily increased over the years in Southeast Asia with the economic reforms of the 1990s in India. For all I know, most people in the West are aware of the term with a shallow understanding to it with a few people who have actually studied the facts behind it. In the process of selecting my interviewees, the individuals who decided to proceed with the interview held very broad, generalist views on the first two questions. Many of them have never had the opportunity to experience a Bollywood film. The closest they would consider to be “Bollywood-esque” is Slumdog Millionare.…

Establishing shots, exterior,day- it was Friday and it was a rainy day. We arrived at the Cultural Center of the Philippines(CCP) at 4 in the afternoon. I was very excited to attend the 9th Cinemalaya festival. We rode the orange jeep to the CCP complex and went down at Harbor Square. I loved that crossroad because it led to a wonderful experience and a beginning of a new addiction. We took lots of pictures outside the building to get a nice shot with the “CINEMALAYA” as our background. Just as we were about to pose for a shot, the fountain was turned on—it was pretty cool. I have never been inside the CCP before and I didn’t know what to expect of the interior but I imagined it to be bigger than it really was. My imagination was always a little exaggerated. As we entered the building, I scanned around the place: classy. We went up and checked out the work of arts all over the walls. We went in all the galleries and took lots of pictures for remembrance. It almost felt like we were there to have a photo shoot. Four floors and 50 pictures later, the program finally started.…
