Lagaan Movie Review

 On the Independence day 2018. We watched Hindi movie Lagaan at the Department of English,  MKBU . Before the screening  Sir has told us that ..’I hope you keep your eyes open and read what is between the lines and hidden within the images So, I tried my best to read most of scenes of the movie and  my views on it are expressed here… Lagaan , a popular   Bollywood  movie produced and star by Amir Khan , directed by Ashutosh Gowarikar won the audience award at the 2001..movie’s cinematography set in Gujarat and film have melodies song with an excellent story plot. Narrative style of movie is very much linear Or very much Indian style of narrative so  Lagaan also repeats the popular motif of Bollywood movies … the defeat of British Colonial rules at the hands of Indians, but situates the struggle for decolonization on apparently mutually exclusive domains— Cricket , an ‘Elite’ sport, and subaltern politics. Thus, movie as a national allegory in whi...

Amar Prem Movie Review

Story of Woman, kicked out from home and A Man who is enough wealthy economically but as lone as the naval in ocean. A young boy named Nandu is the skelton of whole story. Amar prem, Immortal love 1972's film, directed by Shakti Samnta, The film star is Rajesh Khnna, well sate buisness man though he us in search of peace, love and Sharmila Tagore, who have played a role of prostitute, and the young boy Nandu becomes the reason of smile in her barren life. Decline of human values, that how sin is in people's eye and a lady have to struggle for her life is the central theme of film. Culcutta is the place where all the situation take place in movie, so the asence of city, color of city is shown, both dark and light side of city, from prostitute's street to durga pooja is symbolically presented. Hidden lust of every human for sexual satisfaction and how people move towards it. This all the the thing very silently film shows us. Darkness in Human nature thay can not se...

1st ODI on Mario Vargas Llosa

Mario Vargas Llosa, the Peruvian novelist was awarded the noble prize for literature in 2010. His most recent novel is “The Neighborhood”.” Here I am attaching the link of His interview and from that I try to Identist three best ideas which I like the most... Three best ideas I like the most from interview  of Mario Vargas Llosa. # feminism now has a kind of problem. It has become very sectarian, very dogmatic, and I think you have to criticize and oppose these trends. In context of Nabokov’s Lolita (which he think is one of the greatest 20th century novels) # Claim on that is … The main character is pedophile with this criterion, literature will disappear. It is Grotesque!  If you respect literature, you must accept not only the very idealist, altruist vision of human beings but also the infernal vision of them. #   Georges Bataille said that in human beings, there are angels and devils. Sometimes the angels are important, but for literature, devils are impor...

Oneless in Literature

Art does never change , it’s manifestation changes means colors, words and moods all are same as it was and as it is. Content is same but the way of creating is changes with time. The same way in literature, skeleton or archetype of literature is similar but the way one is putting his/her words with some kind of personal touch, it’s makes little different than other though it is part of tradition as Eliot says in his essay ‘Tradition and Individual Talent’. As it is said that…All literatures are connected with each other; all, those which are already written, those yet to be written. Thus, to understand a work of art, one must have an understanding of this continuity. This means that a writer makes use of one sign, symbol, character, situation is used by other writers, and if this goes on recurrently happen it turns into literary metaphor. “Every organized body of knowledge can be learned progressively; and experience shows that there is also something progressive about the learning...

Design

In the class task given by my Teacher that evalute poem in your words and what image pops up in your mind, try to draw it and put it in blog. Here i tries to evalute this image of poem through my words. Poem Design' by Robert Frost (1922) 'I found a dimpled spider, fat and white, On a white heal-all, holding up a moth Like a white piece of rigid satin cloth-- Assorted characters of death and blight Mixed ready to begin the morning right, Like the ingredients of a witches' broth- A snow-drop spider, a flower like a froth, And dead wings carried like a paper kite.' 'What had that flower to do with being white, The wayside blue and innocent heal-all? What brought the kindred spider to that height, Then steered the white moth thither in the night? What but design of darkness to appall?- If design govern in a thing so small.' Structure Frost's 14-line poem is called an Italian sonnet, also known as a Petrarchan sonnet . This kind of s...

Guru in the height of knowledge and Shishya have deep thirst for knowledge. Gautama Buddha   and his Shishya Annand are ideal in this tradition. But, with the change of time there is lot of change in this relationship of Teacher and Student.  Now question is that How a Teacher should be? And how a Student should be? I am student from last seventeen years so, let us first discuss about this question ‘How a Student should be?’ I try to make definition of student but I couldn’t’’  get it. But.

So, how a learner should be? In the answer of that I find some points like… • Self discipline • Good observer • Self tru...
