    War: Kills from the Inside Out Lars Fredrik Händler Svendsen, a famous Norwegian philosopher once stated that “self-identity is inextricably bound up with the identity of the surroundings.” Svendsen is arriving at the conclusion that one’s own identity is directly connected to their surroundings and so a change in environment would consequently alter one’s self-identity. Therefore, the violent and gruesome acts that are a product of war will alter the identity of those who are surrounded by such acts. Joseph Boyden’s Three Day Road expresses how war consumes one’s identity through the utilization of symbolism.…

    The poem shows great apathy in the lackadaisical appraisal of funerals being, “Good or bad, Hypothesis, tradition, and fad.” The speaker shades an absurdity out of the mortal deceleration that is a funeral. Our speaker mentions notions of “good or bad” to confront the reader's ignorance of the dead’s integrity. Undermining dedication towards the funeral that appears to be out of conformity. An exercise that largely disregards the act of death by the living.…

    “Achievement has no color” (Abraham Lincoln), a quote that has arguably changed the nation and can be perceived in the Andrea Keuhnel short film “Us Against The World”. What Abraham Lincoln implied in the quote mentioned above is that a person’s skin pigmentation should have no effect on an individual’s potential to succeed. This conjecture can be seen in Keuhnel’s film because Cordia School’s basketball team mainly consisted of African- American students who were being oppressed due to their skin color and pushed to fail, despite their actual ability to do well in basketball. They were even beginning to believe that they were incapable of succeeding since people were sentencing them into profiles that are demeaning to their ethnicity. Due to the injustice racial profiling, Andrea Kuehnel created the show “Us…

    This aspect of the series, coupled with reports of its success, emphasises the participatory dialogue that these films encourage. Furthermore, the use of film to target conceptions about war is seen through the dehumanisation of the enemy in this series. United States Army studies from the period claim that peer pressure was the key solution to high rates of soldiers failing to shoot to kill the enemy during the early stages of the conflict. Appropriately, the representations of enemy combatants in Why We Fight encourage soldiers to respond to the text as a social group. The dehumanisation of the enemy can also be linked to the group response of wider society.…

    Lars and the Real Girl. (The Lake Scene) One prodigious technique that I have established in this limited scene is Pathetic Fallacy, in another definition, a Weather Metaphor. A clear example of this technique shown was when Gus has quoted “Is there a storm coming?”, and Karen has replied “the weather said no.” This showed me that there is a few overcast color’s involved in this scene, such as Grays and Blacks.…

    The film Hearts and Minds is a documentary made by Peter Davis in 1974 to portray America’s unethical involvement in Vietnam and examine the opinions of many by showing interviews and vivid footages. The film focuses more on those who were against the war than those who supported it. For the U.S. all that mattered was the victory. However, those who were opposed to the war felt that there was no right or reasonable justification for their actions. The real issue illustrated by the film was whether the U.S. wanted to protect the country from communism or to manifest its greatest power in the world by winning another war.…

The movie was inspired by a male friend of Bismuth who said that he would like to have all memory of his girlfriend erased. Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind tells a story about two people, Joel and Clementine, who are in a bad relationship and eventually break up.…
