Cross-Cultural Experiences in the movie “Outsourced”
The customs and cultures of India were developed by the country’s traditions that date back almost a few thousands of years. The significance most of these cultural behavior and traditions have in the people of India can be elusive to the average American. For instance, the picture of Kaali (the goddess of destruction), carrying the severed head of a man, hung on the wall of Todd’s (the protagonist) bedroom, is quite a disconcerting picture for the average American. But in India, it is a picture of relief. Similarly, the intermittent animal ( ...

When we talk about religion and its impact to the world and society, these two always come to mind: Confucianism and Christianity. Confucianism was started by Confucius. He lived in China from about 550 to 479 B.C. He never claimed to be god but after his death, those who become his followers started to worship him. Although not many people today would call themselves as Confucianists, the teachings still have a strong hold particularly in Asia (Comparing Confucianism and Christianity, 2008).
On the other hand, Christianity came after the death and resurrection of Jesus. His followers were first called as ...

In his article, Photography and Fetish, Christian Metz explains that the differences between photography and film are well known to his readers. However, he seeks to expound of the differences in more detail so as to enhance greater understanding of these differences. Metz argues that one of the major differences between film and photography is the idea that there is a difference in the spacio-temporal size of the lexis. According to Metz lexis refers to the area of reception of the reading unit of which both film and photography is mounted. Metz is of the view that the lexis in ...

Bridge of Spies (2015) is a historical film that was directed by Steven Spielberg. One of the stars in this film is Tom Hanks. This film received a very positive feedback from the viewers and in my opinion it is one of the best films about the confrontation between the USA and the USSR in the past few years. The film is set in 1957 – 1962 and is based on a true story. In 1957, the USA arrested a Soviet spy Rudolf Abel, but a few years later he was swapped for the American pilot that was brought down ...

Everyone experiences the world in different ways; however, sometimes physical differences contribute to the development of a different culture, as is the case with deaf artists. Hilari Scarl’s film See what I’m Saying allows the world to glimpse what such a culture is like. Making use of different techniques, the director immerses the viewer in a profound analysis of this culture, including the emulation of what this population actually hears. The waking of consciousness that results of this is important and beneficial, as it allows the viewer to empathize with the people that have this condition. Finally, while many could ...

Movie review

For this assignment I have watched the movie Holes. The movie composition is rather interesting. The plexus of two stories that happened with a hundred years difference allowed the director keep intrigue until the very end. When watching the movie, it is not clear what will happen next. Moreover, I should admit that the ending of the movie is very surprising. In one of the last scenes, when Zero and Stanley found the treasure, everyone awaited that it would be the Kissing Kate’s treasures. Indeed, the treasure belonged to Stanley Yelnats. Moreover, another surprising scene followed the previous one. ...

Great works of literature are usually attempted to be adapted to the movie screens, as they are a wonderful source for a captivating plot, and the 1925 novel The Great Gatsby written by F. Scott Fitzgerald is not an exception. The novel is widely recognized as one of the best novels not only of its time, but also of the 20th century. No wonder that there are at least 5 known film adaptations of the work, but two of them, namely The Great Gatsby of 1974 shot by Jack Clayton and The Great Gatsby of 2013 by Baz Luhrmann are the ...

The movie ‘sound and fury’ is about identity in a deaf culture. It highlights the difficulty of a family living in the fear of losing their culture that has shaped them for generations. The deaf culture is important to the Artinian family, who fear losing it to a cochlear hearing plant that will force them to associate with a different culture in the hearing world. The concept of culture is, therefore, highlighted as an identity through the common behavior of a group of people. Culture is where a group is bound by the practices that identify them the most. It makes people who they are ...

Chan-wook Park's 2003 thriller Oldboy tells the story of Oh Dae-su, a middle-aged father who is kidnapped mysteriously one day, being left in an abandoned hotel room with little to sustain him. Being kept alive but locked in the room, Dae-su is eventually released after 15 years, and he vows to take his revenge on the person who kept him there for seemingly no reason. Park's unique take on the revenge thriller is fantastically made, intensely raw in its emotion, and uncompromising in the lengths it will go to in order to shock and affect its audience. The movie is ...

1979's Alien, directed by Ridley Scott, is a brilliant exercise in mood and atmosphere building up to a horror film of excruciating terror. The design of the alien, the strong performances and direction, and the straightforward, inescapable tale of a haunted house in space make it a landmark science fiction film. Part of its brilliance comes from its examination of power relationships, exemplified by the tug of war between Ripley and the Alien. Through the lenses of Devor and Cohen, a pair of crucial scenes in the film will be explored in terms of their exploration of power.

The alien itself maintains all of the ...
