The clothing designed for them also looks problematic .The way they have been dressed up reminds the soldiers in European cinema. The armors used are the main reason behind this fail. Not only in King Dhutugamunu's Era, even in the King Parakramabahu's Era the attire worn by an soldier in the Sinhalese army was only a piece of clothe for lower body Frescos of the Dhemala Maha Saya.

The jewelry made for this and the jewelry bought shows a great difference in colour as well as in the design and seems artificial, which will affect to lose the suspense of disbelief of the spectators. During the meetings with the production team, it has been decided to have an dark effect from lighting and colour correction, so the colours were selected accordingly. But during the production due to problems with the budget. chosen effect was brought to the film by editing. This shows how elements for a successful costume design from the film has been badly
This film absolutely deserves to be recognised as it has a positive impact on both the indigenous and white community and how we can gain
Murderball successfully conveys the emotion and mentality of people with disability. In this movie, Mark Zupan and Joe Soares prove that disability may put them at a disadvantage, but as long as they have a will they can make something out of their life. Their competition is a huge indicator of their mentality of not giving up. However, there are some contradiction to how actors are portrayed. In the beginning Zupan is referred as an “asshole” and a “jock” by his friends, but later he is seen attaching to Keith Cavill- a new quadriplegic patient who is in denial of the accident- at emotional level and giving him motivation to accept his life and move on. Similarly, Soares behaves like he
There were similarities between how the family dynamic operated in the film versus the text. The kinship system is similar to the U.S. system used today, which is bilateral, meaning both sides of the family of the parents are recognized. The nuclear family is the basic social unit composed of the mother, father, and children. Polygamous marriage was common among arctic people involving a second wife that was generally the sister of the first. Arranged marriages were also common between men in their late teens and women near puberty.Marriages were essential for survival due to the harsh environment.The film portrayed many interactions between family members involving husband and wife, father and son, mother and child, and between siblings. In
In the mid 1960’s to and early 70’s a new generation of film making came about. A generation of young film-makers who pushed the boundaries of sex, drugs, nudity, and violence. They changed the way of how Hollywood films are produced and marketed. There was many revisions of Hollywood’s old films. They re-worked and re-imagined some of Hollywood’s classic genres – such as the crime film, the war film and the western – and by so doing, presented a more critical view of America past and present. () These films mostly represented the issues of the youth, this was known as the generation gap. Location shooting also became almost the exclusive norm.
The film, Under the Same Moon, is a great piece of work that portrays the extreme difficulties faced by illegal immigrants. It was saddening to see all of the everyday struggle and to know that this is going on in the world to this day. I found that this film really goes with the what we learned in module 2 about immigrants in Guatemala and the movement in Chiapas, Mexico. After learning about immigration and knowing more about Mexico, I feel as though this film does an excellent job on showing a realistic example of an illegal immigrant doing all they can to make money for their loved ones. I would definitely recommend the movie to really anyone. It is educational, emotional, and has a great plot showing a whole different culture.
Crawford (2012) described many difference characteristics in mate selection which may potentially lead to marriage. She first describes marriage as being institutionalized because the laws (and certain religions) tells you who you can and cannot marry, when you can marry, and the responsibilities to each other while married. Yet people are infatuated with the ideology of love and romance. People choose their partners as individuals and expect to live their marriages according to their own needs and wishes (Crawford, 2012). Something that can explain why people choose to get married can be the marriage gradient. The marriage gradient states that women have the tendency to “marry up” and men tend to “marry down” (Crawford, 2012). This came about because women used to have little access to education and prestigious jobs so their only choice to gain economic security was through marriage. Today, both men and women admire qualities such as intelligence, desire for children, and great personality, but for women, wealth and status are very important qualities (Crawford, 2012).
Religion and human nature combined tend to create a superiority complex among those who perceive themselves as having better, or more, faith. Religion is generally perceived as singular, but humans choose to dynamically express their faith, whether that be by love or war. Gandhi, depicted the movie Gandhi directed by Richard Attenborough, in the face of Muslims protesting Hindus, declared: “I am a Muslim and a Hindu and a Christian and a Jew and so are all of you,” and that perception of himself and others influenced a mass ethnic and religious revolution that enlightened India. Gandhi opened the world to revolutionary ideas -- the strength in tolerance, the pluralism in religion, and the unification of all mankind.
Meeting the Patels is a 2014 romantic, comedy documentary directed by Geeta V. Patel. The film depicts the journey of Ravi V. Patel on the search for an adequate Indian wife that meets the criteria of his family, and who he can also feel a personal connection with. In the film the depiction of two countries: United States and India played a role on Ravi’s decision on finding a wife, and how each country portrays the role of marriage and the laws surrounding it.
The use of colour brings out the scene in a realistic way and creates a superior setting compared to that of the novel. The use of colour is more effective then imagination simply because everything is clear and in uttermost description. Lastly, the use of sound in the movie was
A feeling of physical roughness and generalness is apparent from the piece of Memi and Sabu implying that they are not from a royal or imperial background, but at the same time the very fact that they were commissioned
Baraka is a non-linear environmental documentary released in 1992 and directed by Ron Fricke. The film is full of sweeping shots of breathtaking landscapes, intimate scenes of individuals in their environment, and time-lapse sequences of both natural and man-made structures. Without dialogue or a linear structure, the film successfully uses visual context to tell several stories that weave into the film’s overarching theme. First, Baraka tells the story of the importance of ritual and religion in the human experience, with a focus on indigenous cultures. Then, the narrative shifts focus and Baraka tells a new story, one about human modernization and the consequences of modern society. Finally, the film makes apparent its overarching theme:
The movie Gandhi starts off with the assassination of Gandhi on January 30, 1948. He was killed because of the split of Hindus and Muslims into Pakistan and India, instead of trying to keep the country united (which was impossible at the time). The story then jumps back to Gandhi early in his life, when he is a practicing attorney. He is traveling in South Africa on a train and is thrown off because he refuses to give up his first class seat. The conductor wants him to move because he is Indian. This upsets him and he organizes a burning of the discriminatory codes. The protestors are arrested and released.
Furthermore, the lifestyle both women want ends up in disaster however, one ends in death while the other in hard labor. In "The Necklace", the wife ends up losing her friend’s expensive necklace which causes her to work hard to earn enough money to pay of a new one. Due to all the work she loses her beauty. In contrast, whereas in "The Jewels" the constant attendance of the opera house during the winter causes her to die of inflammation which resulted a deep sorrow towards the husband. Both wife’s lived life differently. Both tries to find the best way to fulfill their desire for the good
The Necklace also displays distinctive realism in the use of socioeconomic influences which are essential to the plot. The major conflict in the story would be absent and the theme would not be obtainable without Mathilde Loisel’s insecurity about her own socioeconomic reputation. An example of Loisel’s self-deprivation nature is presented when she realizes she does not have a necklace, she says “I shall look absolutely no one. I would almost rather not go to the party” (Maupassant, sec. 3). Another example of the self-conflict caused by social pressure is Loisel’s immediate attempt to replace the necklace and her reluctance to speak to her friend Madame Forestier about the necklace for ten whole years. If she were not conflicted by societal pressures she might have avoided the whole situation altogether. The Necklace establishes a realistic difference in value between the necklaces and proposed clothing. Her husband proposes flowers which were valued 10 franks so in any case if she had chosen the flowers there would have been an insignificant economic loss. Her decision not to tell her friend about the necklace ends up costing her seven times the worth of the original. The roses symbolize the simpler things in life to the theme of the story. Mathilde Loisel’s withered appearance at the end
Kidnapping not only happens in the United States, it happens worldwide. There are some children who are found and there are some who has been missing for years to come. The call was a great way to let young adults know the severity of being kidnapped and it lets dispatchers know how severe a person being kidnapped really is. The call was a movie made in the year of 2013 starring Halle Berry and Morris Chestnut. Halle Berry and Morris chestnut work together to make this film become a great life lesson and also create suspense. During the last 32 years, NCMEC’s national toll-free hotline, 1-800-THE-LOST® (1-800-843-5678), has received more than 4.3 million calls. NCMEC has circulated billions of photos of missing children, assisted
