Indians are very committed towards their relationship and try their level best to work it out. Moreover, the amount of respect Indians give to elders is far more. These traits were found missing in the girl. Hence, the girl faced a lot of problem after returning to India. Her parents could have nurtured her with more tolerance towards Indian culture but it’s also seen that it would be very difficult to do so living in Europe. The movie also depicts the cultural similarities between India and Pakistan. It also shows how a right person can bring positive differences in your life.

    When it comes to films, I feel as if the soundtracks make them what they are. A film in which I feel as if the soundtrack shapes the overall effect of the film is "Waiting to Exhale." Waiting to exhale was a movie about four African American women who were all through different things in their lives from men, their jobs and family. There friendship bonded all of the women together and when they got together the could just exhale everything that they have been holding in this whole time and just be themselves without having to worry about anything else. The musical technique in which I feel they used is connecting the soundtrack to real life situations.

    When seeing this film it felt as though this was right on target genuine occasions with no misunderstandings, since this is the manner by which life really is outside of the cameras and television and creations. When watching this I 'd feel these characters were really i gangs whether they were young or not they had the correct role. Likewise making it all the more realistic was knowing how gangs function and go around from individual encounters in my own life, it gives a more inside and out visual from what I saw growing up through my childhood. I would now be able to state that I have a view from outside and I now know what definitely is going on behind the walls. This film had an effect on myself since I have been included and have an view of how individuals talk and act with each other and when they are with certain individuals.

    In today’s age, cinematographers, directors, editors etc have the technology at their fingertips – special effects, CGI (computer generated technology) and equipment such as green screens. As North By Northwest was released in 1959, limited available technologies meant that directors had to make scenes look as realistic as possible. An example of this is scattered throughout the film. Green screens had not been invented when the film was released but an invention called rear projection allowed for the illusion of a moving vehicle. Rear projection was created by using a plate made of a strip of film.

    My film starts from the very beginning and ends in modern times, these events are what I believe to be the most influential in leading us to the racial discrimination we continue to face today. The film starts at the arrival of European society in the Chesapeake. The lower and upper class whites came here first for new opportunity. The upper class came here to expand their land and to gain more wealth. The lower class came here mostly to be indentured servants (hard labor workers who would serve two to seven years and then be freed with benefits) for the wealthy landowners.

    The film Dying to Know by Steve Kroschel is certainly easier to watch than most documentaries. The film’s subject is a natural diet developed by Dr. Gerson that can cure cancer. I did have some reservations about the film in the beginning, by the end though I believe this therapy can work. Including patient interviews was a very smart idea; something to tug at the heartstrings and it did just that. It gave more of a human aspect to the film.

The film seldom strays a long way from the individual, profoundly subjective route in which he sees the city and gives it a chance to wound him. Travis often changes his perspective of whether he is in control of his predetermination or whether his fate is foreordained. Before all else of the film, Travis whines about being forlorn and not having wherever to go.

    The above quote was spoken by the most celebrated French New Wave auteur filmmaker and Cahiers du Cinema critic, Jean-Luc Godard. There are three periods in which Godard’s work fall into. I will be focusing on the early period of his filmmaking career where some of his best films were made before he began his political films. He is recognized for breaking the rules and conventions of the Classical Hollywood cinema and bringing something new and innovative to French cinema. The quote is echoed upon three of his pioneering films, A Bout de Souffle (Breathless, 1960), Le Mepris (Contempt, 1963) and Pierrot Le Fou (1965).
