In Dead Men’s Bluff, there are nude dead bodies in the first scene in the movie, and they are mostly females. Balabanov objectifies feminine body in his movies as much as opportunities allowed him. Giggling naked girls who were running around in Sauna in Brother2 (2000) with characters that didn’t have any actual role but asking guys for beers and hearing “don’t you see we are talking here?” from them could be seen as anti-feminine scene. In another scene Balabanov demonstrate audience a sexist scene. Sergey and Simon verbally harassing the waitress at the bar, and at the end of the movies Simon has the same waitress in his office as secretary, and his mistress.

It [is] like someone staying in a bad marriage or relationship – it [is] actually easier to stay because they know what to expect every day, versus leaving and not knowing what to expect” (Ellen DeGeneres). Commonly, people stay in unhealthy relationships because they do not wish to conclude that there are issues with their significant other; due to strong emotional connections. In Gail Helgason’s “Bluffing” and Cathy Jewison’s “The Prospector’s Trail” the protagonists both remain in their relationships despite being mistreated, and are ignorant that there is a problem.

  • Analysis Of 'The Prisoner's Dilemma'

    1019 Words  | 3 Pages

    In Stephen Chapman’s essay, “The Prisoner’s Dilemma”, he questions whether the Western world’s idea of punishment for criminals is as humane as its citizens would like to believe or would Westerners be better off adopting the Eastern Islamic laws for crime and punishment. The author believes that the current prison systems in the Western world are not working for many reasons and introduces the idea of following the Koranic laws. Chapman’s “The Prisoner’s Dilemma” is persuasive because of his supporting evidence on the negative inhumane impact from the Western form of criminal punishment and his strong influential testament to the actions used by Eastern Islamic societies for crimes committed.

  • Death Of A Salesman And Oedipus Analysis

    1268 Words  | 3 Pages

    In Death of a Salesman and Oedipus Rex, pride plays an integral part to the development of the plot. In each play, the hamartia for both Willy and Oedipus is pride, along with other minor things. Willy’s and Oedipus’ sense of self-worth seems to come from their pride, however misguided it may seem. Pride is the hamarita which connects Willy and Oedipus, in which case pride causes them to live in their past and prevents them from seeing the present, resulting in their tragic ending. For Oedipus, pride causes him to search for the truth in his hidden past, inadvertently causing him to be the instrument of his own downfall. Willy’s pride causes him to live in an unrealistic past, preventing him from seeing what he currently has instead of what he doesn’t, leading to a vain death. Lastly, the sense of pride exhibited by Willy and Oedipus and how it affects their past extends on to the ones closest to them. For Willy, his pride and past is forced onto his sons, and to some extent their mother, while for Oedipus his search for truth in the past leads to the undoing of his own wife and mother. Pride deludes the way Oedipus and Willy see their past, affecting how their current life is, leading to their tragic end. C.S. Lewis stated “A proud man is always looking down on thing...as long as you are looking down you cannot see something that is above you” (Lewis), and so for Oedipus and Willy they are unable to see what their life as it is for pride is always causing them to look down and in the past.

  • Analysis Of The Imitation Game

    998 Words  | 2 Pages

    Gregory M. Herek, Professor of Psychology at the University of California at Davis, once said, “To be a man in society is to be homophobic.” In making this comment, Herek believes men are taught to endorse a more traditional view about gender roles than women are. Thus, men often have a more negative perspective towards homosexual men than they do about women. In discussions of male homosexuality, one controversial opinion suggests that it is a crime because it does not fit into male gender norms. On the other hand, some maintain that homosexuality is not a choice but a biological predisposition that cannot be changed through acquiring new gender norms. Such a conflict is the case with Alan Turing, who exposes his gender identity in non-traditional ways in the movie The Imitation Game (2014),
