With each day being punctuated with a countdown to a mysterious "birth" Hedoroba follows the life of various misfits living in the complex. Behind the complex is power structure, steeped in corruption, exploitation and murder. Focusing primarily on two different families; that of a cleaner who works for the landlord cleaning up after the alarming amount of tenants commiting suicide and his physically handicap sister that he cares for and two brothers who watch over the tenants under the instructions of their grandmother, who also orchestrates a spiritual cult that is used to get more money from the tenants. The lives of these two families begin to intertwine due to growing resentment because of the cleaners work and lack of play and an odd romance between one of the brothers and the …show more content…
The successful mash of genres accompanied by a fast pace provide a lot of enjoyment. To add intrigue to the production, the complex itself feels somewhat otherworldly, exsisting on the fringes of society, comprised of lots souls, mindless worshippers and deviants. With the successful world building and strange charchters lies the films greatest fault. With so much going on in such a short run time there is not really a main protaganist, and specifically a likeable one. If breaking it down by screentime I am sure one role might edge out another, but no one is given enough time garner interest. Compunded onto this is the fact that no one is likeable. They all have their dispicable traits, there is no one to really root for. The film starts to drag as a result and if it wasn't for the reveal of the "birth" we were waiting for and the breakdown into absolute chaos that comes with that, the film would be more an exercisize in frustration. In regards to the ending, it really must be seen in all its chaotic glory, and avoiding spoilers is highly
Overall, I enjoyed this play. Even with the dull ending, I found it to be entertaining and a good use of my time. The cast was great and they made good use of a decent
Grace has never had a real home her whole life. For Grace and her mom, “there was always a better job or place to live, better schools or less crime” (15). A second theme of the story is give people second chances. Lacey and Grace had a secret plan, Plan B, in which they would drive Grace’s grandma crazy enough that Grace could go back to living with Mrs.Greene and Lacey. Grace should have given Grandma another chance because she might not understand everything she's lost such as “waiting for her daughter to come home” but years later dead (196). Another theme of the story is spend the most time with loved ones while they’re here. Grace finally realized her grandma isn’t so bad. They both want “to find a way to get them back”, they’re loved ones, and that’s through each other (196). Grace has lost her dad, grandpa, and mom, but doesn’t realize that her grandma lost them too and could be
As she got older, Jeannette and her siblings made their own life, even as their parents became homeless.

While in the City, Jeannette gets a job as a reporter, which was her life goal, and one day on her way to an event she sees her mother rummaging around in a dumpster.

On one side, there is Kathy Nicolo and Sheriff Lester Burdon who want the house from which Kathy was evicted. It previously belonged to Kathy’s father and she is reluctant to relinquish possession of it. Then there is the Behranis, a Persian family who was forced to flee to America in fear of their lives. They want the house because it symbolizes their rise from poverty (they had to leave everything behind and were quite poor when they arrived in the United States) back to affluence which, to this family, will help to restore their family’s dignity, lost when thrust into poverty. The story centers on gaining possession of the house. Unknowingly, all of these characters are doomed to tragedy by their inability to understand each other, hurtling down an explosive collision course.
no tragic figure, there is no tragic plot or theme, and the ending is far
Overall I like the movie because it is emotionally raw with a considerable amount of violence and action that isn’t senseless and is instead a product of the emotional rawness of it all. Also because the Ho Yay between Orange and White is considerable and it makes for a rather interesting watch.
Fans of the novel enjoyed the novel, especially the killer 's reasons for killing. The ending of the novel was a knockout that stuns the fans of this novel. Quite a bit of excitement for fans of this here novel, and they wished that DeMille had written more than just six novels for this series. Fans like Ryker and think he is a complete jerk, they call him every bad name in the book (misogynist, homophobic, sadistic, and racist), but still love it. The novel moves pretty quick and the character in this all come to life, as do the streets of New
In my opinion, this movie is boring and confusing for the first time but, from the second time, this movie starts reveal the fascination. At the first time, I do not like this movie so much but after I watched second time, I became to like this movie. If I asked
Every time the family comes to a confrontation someone retreats to the past and reflects on life as it was back then, not dealing with life as it is for them today. Tom, assuming the macho role of the man of the house, babies and shelters Laura from the outside world. His mother reminds him that he is to feel a responsibility for his sister. He carries this burden throughout the play. His mother knows if it were not for his sisters needs he would have been long gone. Laura must pickup on some of this, she is so sensitive she must sense Toms feeling of being trapped. Tom dreams of going away to learn of the world, Laura is aware of this and she is frightened of what may become of them if he were to leave.
Her identity of a wife and mother is stifled through the work of her husband and sister in law. Both John and his sister Jennie, do not want her to think about her condition, however that is the only thing she is able to think about. She had given birth to her baby a short time before moving into the house with the yellow wallpaper. Perhaps she suffered from postpartum depression, however not much was known about this during these times. If she had gotten proper treatment for her depression, maybe she would have overcome her illness. Instead, she was essentially locked away in a room and told to rest. She strives to form her own identity that has been lost due to her illness. Ultimately the narrator loses her whole identity to the wallpaper. She transforms from the depression filled wife and mother to one of the women creeping behind the wallpaper. The narrator destroys the wallpaper in an effort to escape the hold her husband has over her. In the end she loses her identity along with her
Hester’s youth, although poor, was filled with heartening memories of her parents and their humble abode. Her new life marked with ignominy was a drastic change from what sh...
After discussing this movie in class it all makes sense. All the details that I missed throughout the movie I saw when we started discussing it. I saw most of the religious themes, some like the pale horse evaded me. This was a great movie and one that I would recommend to anyone. The way that it is written and the way that is was played out is amazing. I haven’t even begun to scratch the surface with the meanings behind this movie.
The three family members are adults at the time of this play, struggling to be individuals, and yet, very enmeshed and codependent with one another. The overbearing and domineering mother, Amanda, spends much of her time reliving the past; her days as a southern belle. She desperately hopes her daughter, Laura, will marry. Laura suffers from an inferiority complex partially due to a minor disability that she perceives as a major one. She has difficulty coping with life outside of the apartment, her cherished glass animal collection, and her Victrola. Tom, Amanda's son, resents his role as provider for the family, yearns to be free from him mother's constant nagging, and longs to pursue his own dreams. A futile attempt is made to match Laura with Jim, an old high school acquaintance and one of Tom's work mates.
...movie that I fell in love with. But most of all I love how the story line is a great overlap into the cinematically engaging movie. There is a great use of camera, timing, shots and story line that are portrayed in this movie without being too overwhelming. This allows the audience to relax during the movie and just take in the scenes as a story from reality. To this day, and even still doing this paper I still come to find different aspects of the movie that I missed the previous times I have watched it.
There are many positive things and negative things about the movie and the story. In the movie
