• Analysis of Pink- “Dear Mr. President”
  When she says "Dear Mr. President" and "Let's pretend we're just two people and you’re not better than me”, she is talking about how the president believes his status makes him a better person, and more important, than other people.

Are you proud?” are sta...
• Mermaid and feminism
  This was the first time I saw this movie ever because as a kid, I was a "boy" and when were were "boys", it was uncool for us to watch the mermaid because it was determined as a movie for girls. I was raised in a family of an Asian upbringing, with me being Chinese and Japanese. English is definitely my second language, so my expression level for English might not be as prevalent. Sometimes we might express a different meaning and other people interpret them differently. I went to go re...

  The movie “Shawshank Redemption” was created in 1994. It was directed by Frank Darabont and the lead actors were Tim Robbins and Morgan Freeman. At first when this movie was released, it was not popular at all. However now, it is rated as the best film in the IMDb rankings. Throughout the whole movie, I spotted two very interesting extracts. First is when Red (played by Morgan Freeman) receives a harmonica as a “gift” for staying in prison and wonders if he should play it or not. The other extra...
• Bob Marley
  Bob Marley’s Redemption Song was his last single before his death on May 11, 1981. It sums up what he stood for in his songs: freedom and redemption. Jamaica’s history started off in overcrowded barracoons surrounded by human filth and waste. Jamaican leaders were faced with the challenge to find way to overcome the trauma of slavery and colonialism. Marley was a very spiritual singer who gave hope to the downtrodden in his native Jamaica, and whose message spread to the United States and around...

• history of art
  It can be argued that the vanguard of development has always been reflected in the arts of a culture. It is the poets, the dreamers and artists who are the architects of the future; the ones who build the world they want to live in, the ones who dream out loud1. Music is an elaborate art form, tempered by the emotions of those who create it and as such the dreams, creations and inventions are partly the products – or at least artifacts – of the world around them. As such, the social, economic ...

• Is Hip Hop Dead
  Is hip-hop dead? It sure sounds like it if you turn on the radio or tune –in to watch a video. It’s amazing to think that the music you hear today is a result of MC’s hard work from the 80’s and 90’s. Gone are meaningful lyrics and thought-provoking verses. They’ve been replaced with incessant chants about money, hoes and clothes. In its place, we’re presented with examples of arrested development - the portrayal of grown men and women acting and dressing like teenagers. Balding insecure men...
• Violence in films
  What place does violence have in the movies? Well, I believe that violence has a place in movies depending on the particular film and what the director of the film is trying to portray. If the director uses violence in his/her film and there isn't any reason behind it, then I would disagree and say that violence shouldn't be in THAT particular film. But in a movie like "Saving Private Ryan", Steven Spielburg replicates the actual events of D-Day on to the big screen by creating a violent-like sc...
