Reflection Of The Movie Kumare

Improved Essays
The movie Kumare’ is about Vikram Gandhi journey to the cultural and believe of the people in the west. He said this movie is about the biggest lie he ever told and the greatest truth he experienced. The plot of the story is he pretend to be a guru from the east and follow the real people in the west. He went to phoenix Arizona because he thinks that Phoenicians is more open for teaching for eastern guru. He tried to learned a lot from other people and mimic the voice of his grandmother he tried to master his craft of being a guru and he grow some beard and make himself look like an eastern guru in other word it was a total make over. He had several followers who asked for his blessings and as he continue to do this experiment he realized that …show more content…
I think that many people when they suffers in life they seek an answer from our creator and they run into these preachers, priest or guru because they believe that they are their connector to god and according to Vikram many preachers in india are fake and maybe the cause of that is because of how people reacted to their dilemma. The biggest message of this movie is that we can be what we want to be if we believe in ourselves, Vikram Gandhi pretend to be a person that he is not. He did that just to prove it to himself and to the other people who seeks help of the guru to understand their life and help them find happiness in their lives. That is the message in this movie but one thing that I didn’t understand in the movie is when Vikram Gandhi went to talked to the guy in the bookstore about one of Buddha’s lesson I couldn’t understand what the quotes supposed to mean he says “you’re not supposed to believe or worship things if you worship a man u miss it” the message if too deep for me to …show more content…
I could related to Greg. If I was in his position I would feel the same way too like I’m agree with the teaching but skeptical with the method I think at the end of the day, life is all about learning and I don’t believe that we should trick other people just to proof our point regardless of how positive it is because even though some people hugs Vikram when he admitted that he pretend to be someone else but some people didn’t like the idea that people would lied to them to teached them because to me if you want to teach me something or prove something to me just tell me to the point there is no other way to make a statement. But nobody in the movie makes me angry but I’m just not a fan of fake preacher. I think Vikram could alter his method of understanding the faith of other people he could have asked him directly what he wants to learn instead of lying to them and recording it and putting it on the internet I think some of the kumare’ disciples felt that they’ve been fooled around, you know it likes falling in love with somebody and learned that they just playing games with

Global market capitalism strikes the root of the poor people’s anxious lives who suffer from worldwide economic slump, non-regular workforce, and the rat race. Annawadi is a slum of Mumbai in India and is surrounded by the airport and five splendid hotels. It is hard for Annawadians to get jobs in the big city so they dig up waste and sell recyclable trash for living.

    Essay writers generally approach a piece of writing with a persuasive purpose in mind. The goal of a persuasive essay is to convince readers to believe, or at least consider, some proposition that the writer has developed throughout the piece. To accomplish that task writers have at their disposal two fundamental tools—they can use narrative, which is purposeful storytelling, or they can use exposition, which is a detailed explanation of an idea, theory, or finding. Studying how both narrative and exposition are employed in an essay yields deep insight into how writers (a) ultimately develop their claims and (b) suggest new ways of understanding issues and problems. In “Hellhole,” Atul Gawande, a writer for The New Yorker, explores the effects…

    Ahimsa, according to the Merriam-Webster dictionary, is the belief of nonviolence toward any living being. On August 8th, 1942 Mahatma Gandhi gave his “Quit India” speech, which called on India to exercise his belief in Ahimsa.

This paper will analyze evidence that Gandhi displayed in his “Quit India” speech through the interpretation and…
