Memento (2000)
Memento review
Memento was a very good film about a man called Lenny with anterograde amnesia and in order to progress with his journey he takes photographs and write on them to remember. The storyline uses a technique called fabula and ceujet which is Russian and means the story line from the black and white to the colour crosses over after building from different points.
Murdered by My Father (2016)
Interesting and action packed.
Murdered by my father touches upon a very miserable yet profound and interesting subject of forced marriage and honour killings. In the show the dad Shazad forces this daughter Salma into marriage which is a stereotype of the Asian community however the daughter falls in love with another boy Imi and has a secret relationship with him. this ends up with the dad finding out and the daughter having to run away however in the fathers eyes she had brought shame on the family therefore he would have to shame kill her. This is due to the ideology of honour killings and killing anyone in the family who has brought shame upon the family. The ideology of honour killings is brought to the father by his soon to be brother in law and out o the need for the family to still have respect the father believed he had to kill his daughter but ultimately could not live with him self and committed suicide.
My Brother the Devil (2012)
The film was controversial yet un-interesting.
The show my brother the devil plays on many stereotypes from Muslim stereo types to gay and lesbian stereotypes. This is because Rash turns out to be gay in a Muslim household and his brother finds out however his mum and dad do not know. This relates to life in the streets of the streets of south east London as if a so called gangster was to be called gay he may be picked on or made fun of. Also in the religion of Islam it is haram to be gay therefore if Rash would have told his parents they may have kicked him out of looked down upon him. The film touches on very controversial topics such as a gangster which is gay as this may be the first time such a character has been shown or depicted in a film.
Orange Is the New Black: Tit Punch (2013)
Orange is the new black
This is going to bey slightly brief review of the second episode of popular web series Orange is the new black. The start of the second episode defiantly improved since episode one as the story from within episode one carries over to episode two. The story "Mini story" between episode one and two is very interesting as it contains lots of drama , and is short yet effective as it incises the audience as well as following the main story. The "Mini Story" also is very meaningful as it hows us some of the back story of one of the main antagonist at the time in the story and why she acts the way she does. The story itself between the first two episodes follows the Todorov theory as there is a problem beginning in episode one, secondly there is a disruption , then there is a climax but in this case a confrontation, and then there is a slight resolution (spoiler) when piper gives red the homemade back creamed finally when piper returns to eating at every meal time. However at the end of episode two we see a female who offered piper help , have her food rights restricted by Red which leave the audience on a cliff hanger and makes them wonder what she will have to do in order to get her food rights back form Red.
