Different Roles

When she says “I’d like to ask you some questions if we can speak honestly”, she is stating that Bush has a tendency to lie. “What do you feel when you see all the homeless on the street” and “What do you feel when you look in the mirror.

- 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.

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...

- 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 ...
