8. Just a question of Love
It is a typical predictable romantic movie with a twist that it is between two men from different family background. The younger man belongs from a conservative family who has recently lost his brother who was homosexual. His parents blame his sexual orientation for his death although that was not the case. The other protagonist is a prolific researcher who lost his father at a young age but has the support of his mother for his sexual orientation.
There are many ups and downs in the movie with melodrama and romantic scenes. The story tries to uphold the perils of gay couples even in an educated backdrop. Although the story end in a happy note with the couple coming together it poses a serious question: Is our society’s

It is a story about a walled community where the rich kill an “intruder” child. The story depicts the barbarian nature of rich who could fall to any level to further their petty interests. For them law-order, humanity, justice does not make any difference.
In order to maintain the sanctity of their walled community they took law in their hands killing two intruders and finally butchering a child who was able to flee initially. They did not have the sanity to even listen to his case before judging him as criminal. The only human behaviour is exhibited by a young boy who had shot a video of the intruder confessing the truth. Addiction to comfort and money makes us blind and the story makes a strong case that if we continue in this path then we will not even have the chance to regret and feel sorry.

A strong believer in the Socialistic ideologies, the father carries a strong disdain for the chosen profession of his estranged rich son. The son however uses all his experience of the capitalistic system to cut through the bureaucratic hassles and his method of solving problems with cash is indeed an interesting one. It is interesting to watch Sebastian deal with a union representative who squeezes everything he can out of him. Following the suggestion of a doctor friend, he even decides to find his father a guardian angel who can administer heroin as a potent pain-killer. He wins his father’s heart by delivering several video messages from his sister who is away on a long voyage at sea and she states her appreciation of her father's legacy to her, a lust for life. Also he gets a few students to visit his father for a particular sum of money so that his father feels that he had been a great

    Throughout the film you get a sense of realism from the movie, while watching the film you feel that you have been placed in the shoes of Tom as he goes through the ups and downs trying to make sense of his complicated fling. In the beginning of the film the narrator states that this “is a boy meets girl story. Not a love story”, but the audience is so focused on the ideas of what a romantic comedy is. A Classical romantic comedy has a humorous storyline with multiple obstacles that pushes their love to the brink, eventually they…

    When we have been exposed to a specific role of gender all our lives, it is difficult to accept different scenarios. A different scenario would be when society would not be able to accept a powerful and non-emotional woman, or a very sensitive man. An example of this is children are educated of what roles a man and female play. In Disney movies, such as Aladdin, children are shown roles of women and men. A young girl is given to a man just to own more land. It shows society what role a man has over a woman. Anna Quindlen author of a short essay “Gay” and Gillianne N. Duncan author of “Why Do We Hate Our Bodies?” are examples of how the norms of society shape and make people judge others only because they are different. In “Gay,” Quindlen tells a story about her friend’s friend, about how a family would rather lie about the sexual orientation of their dead son, than tell the truth and be judged…

    It bothered me that he was not at least kept in custody for the night and go from there. No matter how close of a family member he is to me, I feel very conflicted that he was released without any conditions and that he it was fine for him to be back in the house the next morning. To be completely honest, I don't think I would have had the courage to call the police after the assault. I could only sit there in shock crying and feeling afraid. I think that if it wasn't somebody who witnessed what happened and helped inform the police, my life of how I was hurt by my brother would have been back to where it has been in the past, hidden. As a victim, I know that it would take me a a lot of courage to stand up against my offender, but I am vulnerable and I really need you and your colleagues help so that justice can be served and that I can finally have the ability to face my biggest fear. A crime has occurred, and the offender has to face justice. Unfortunately, out of all people, I am his sister and the victim at the same time. I strongly believe this to be the best resolution and we can both move on after this event. As a police officer, this duty is entrusted to you by society and I trust I trust…

    The pressure of time is crucial in both works, as both narrators race against time to save themselves or others. In the Pit and the Pendulum, the narrator is strapped to a strange contraption, with a deadly pendulum descending towards him. The pendulum is lowering an unhurried rate as it states in the article, "It might have been half an hour, perhaps even an hour, (for in cast my I could take but imperfect note of time) before I again cast my eyes upward. What I then saw confounded and amazed me. The sweep of the pendulum had increased in extent by nearly a yard"(Poe, E. A. Web). Each swing, the narrator is in awe by the motion of the pendulum, that now it is a distraction towards his fear in death, as he explains, "I fancied that I saw it in motion. In an instant…

    This is a very clear example of a youth not fully comprehending the severity of their actions and later having to pay the price. Many would argue that he did not commit those crimes because since he was a criminal at a young age he will always be a criminal. It seems as though having spent those three years in a prison along with hardened criminals along with the fact that he was not mature enough to truly comprehend the severity of what he had done lead to a very lost and angry…
