Thinking activity on Midnight's children

Salman Rushdie novel midnights children we see movie and here I want to share my point of view about this movie screening.

Midnight's chlidern


It is a related with postcolonial study and very best example to study of postcolonial.


Story begin with first world war  and with India's democracy is very darkest decision like Emergency. Also speak about three generations story. Here author explain his experience and relate with Nation born. Nation and protagonist both are born on at same time. Two Main character are there Salim and Shiv  and and Meri  change the destiny of both the child and how the tragedy occurs between the children's life are portrayed here

Story begin with Kashmir and saleems grandparents how they meet in Kashmir start with this angle story moves ( 1917 ) directly or indirectly it speak about Indira Gandhi is born.
It also reflect that how first world war was coming to his and.

After towards story moves to the Agra and it's time of second generation is coming like protagonist mother and father are meeting hey get married and its period of 1942 the world is is afraid of Second World War one side for Colony its comes with happiness and for colonies master it's come with very sad just because after Second World War the colonize master have no control on their Colony and all Colony becomes free.

And finally the protagonist born at midnight 12 o'clock and two Nation are also become born or get independence that's why the movie and novels title is at a significant at midnight children its on reflect.

In 1947 Salim comes in the earth and also India and Pakistan both Nation our Bond and Salim has spend his early childhood in Bombay and his father is Businessman and facing so much trouble after getting a new government is apply some [ Planning Commission ] of the restriction that he is harmful for his business like in our current Nations condition GST and demonetisation very effective our Businessman community.

In 20th century we find that there is no one truth of history there is so many truth written by peoples are writers like in Salman Rushdie novel or moving in midnight's children we find that he never explain any political view but still we find in his magical nest that all political views and history are coming in his moves with some satire and some iron its reflected and measuring its against to the capitalism and it support to the Marxist it's not directly but indirectly it's reflect.

And also movie plot is too much complicated to understand this because there are so many complicated relationship between men and women and political condition are also describe with connect to the life.



Here I want to share some of the example of movie that present that how politics and their personal life are connected,

1) Mumtaz has relationship with his first love for husband Nadir , after some circumstances Mumtaz marry with Ahmed Shenoy and he gets two child a boy name Salim and girl Jiya and boy called midnight children. ( narrator the talk about Nanavati case which was happen ) given context of his mother's relationship with his first lover.

2).Salim find that his mother after marriage still meet his first we love and at that time the background we see the image of [Mother India ] film poster it it's on significant that something is reflected here very highly.

3)  Vanita exploited by William Methwold.

4) general Zulfikar and emory marriage happened.


First the all as one family but after partition or after getting a Independence The become  two different different family to become different nation civilians.

In hospital when Saleem was born at that time nurse has changed the babies and she thinks that now the time is come that reach becomes poor and poor becomes rich and store it gets new twist and so many peoples life are changed by one person decision.

* Indo Pak Wars related to the movie*
Majorly Salim Spanish time in his aunt home in Karachi and later on his mother and father also come there and he meet them and they live and after that suddenly one more tragedy occurs like the [ first  Indo Pak war ] was started and Salim lost his family in one war

When the second time war will started its gets 6 years time and Salim has forgot his past memory by one ,

 { [ spittoon ] and spittoon is significant that you should try to remember something but is the memory will erase your past memory.}

Second war
Bangladesh civil war
Second war is independent of Bangladesh and at that time we find that Salim has also struggling for his own identity just because Saleem don't know about what's happened with him and last 6 year his sleep so he don't know is past only some of the words and only one [ Spittoon ]reminder there.

At the end finally Saleem meet Parvati and it gets about his own identity and how he has some magical power that he called all midnight children and make one discussion with them it's a reflect the India and India's different states how they are connected with each other yeah it's reflected and Salim initiative was to help them.

Finally in 1972 Saleem reach to India it's reflect the immigrants of Bangladeshi who come in India they are the migrator this because of afred of the Civil War.

Here in movie we find that how to be occur in the and of the movie just for first thing was the Pokhran 1 [ 1972 ]happen and second was the Emergency [ 1975 - 1977 ] comes in the India darkest decision of the democracy history and has notice.

[ NOT :- " Picturesingh " it's reflected India is a nation of snake charmer

" Parvati " it's reflect that India still believe in superstitious blind faith black magic and all other thing ]

After emergency is over then Salim go back to home and find that did Parvati was alive but Parvati was not alive but get one beautiful child a boy and name is " Adam ",
At the end of the movie, the family has a Hindu grandfather(Picturesingh), a Christian grandmother(Mary), a Muslim Father(Saleem), and a son who can be consider as mixture of different identities and again as Midnight’s children.

Postcolonial point of view in this movie :-

According to Oxford dictionary :-

1) new country

2) fermentation

3) settlement


1).  Here in this movie we find that new countries are rising.

2).  The child exchanging it's on significant that the fermentation happening. Means that there is no purity find it who is the original one only way that cannot be clear.

3).    And doing a settlement of two Nations partition.

According to Annaya loomba :- 

1) when the new countries are found means there are lots of bloodshed happened then the new countries are rising that was earlier Loom was first. That which Oxford dictionary as not defined.

2)  doing fermentation at that time the what happened with original people of aboriginal people we remove their history and put other history with our own point of view.

Example :- " Origin of Aryans " 

3)   sometime we think that it is settlement but this settlement make lots of people homeless property less they become poor they migrate to newland which they are not familiar.

One more example I have to give which also base on the same  theme

The secret game

In this we also find it the story telling or story narration is very differently told and each and every political movement and historical movement are also concluded but with some connect with the protagonist life.

Thinking activity on To the Lighthouse Virginia woolf

According to modern literature and when we study "Virginia woolf" novel "To the Lighthouse" and majorly its focus on subconsciousness of human mind and how the human relation are developed and how it's breakin

When Virginia woolf describe Mrs Ramsay and when she talk about Lily briscoe the two characters and their two different mentality and their what comes in their mind she tried to you give interpretation and we as a reader also try to give some interpretation.

1)    Here we find that Virginia woolf try to say that how Mrs Ramsay in herself she       thinks that she is the queen of house but it's an illusion that she is and here we find some Complex relationship between mother and son mother with daughter mother with their guest and the relationship husband and wife how she treat with them. And also find that the how the fighting goes on with her daughter and son and father also, but hear Virginia woolf portrait upper class family and they are visiting to the summer house its mean that it's Victorian time period story but the story portrait on upper class society that how women are struggling and one more thing is it also there in lower class people who live in society they also treat women as a like a thing.
                   
                 It means Virginia woolf try to portray women condition in society and we can understand that in lower class people treat women very badly but in upper class also we find that they also treat women very badly by some mentally doing harassment.

2)   yes I am agree with Virginia woolf point of view here  we find that one side Mrs Ramsay will get attribute after her death and also we see that the criticized by Lily briscoe so both the side are very clearly explain that how Mrs Ramsay when she alive it's caring nature and all things are remember after her death in people's memory also Mrs Ramsay still alive so in that way and also Lily briscoe get her vision when she complete her painting and ship draw painting of mother and child are sitting outside and the painting was Mrs Ramsay and his son James so in that way we can say that attribute and criticism both are done here.

               " Karyeshu dasi, Karaneshu manthri;
                Bhojeshu mata, Shayaneshu rambha;
                Kshamayeshu dharithri, Roopeshu lakshmi;
                Satkarma yukta, Kuladharma pathni "
Answer :- here in this slow define read the Indian myth and how Indian religion and spiritual people and Indian ancient people are looked towards to women and in this Lok we find that woman has become multitasking at one time she want to be a cook one time should be like a servant like your advisor and also beautiful and also caring nature all the thing its significant that women should be multitasking and obey to husband or father or son or any mail then and then she became and ideal woman and these are the some parameters are given that should be fulfilled by women otherwise she will not become and ideal woman.

Example :- Indian mythic[ manusmriti ]

3)   yes we find that symbolically that Lighthouse represent to Mrs Ramsay we see that how Lighthouse help to ship for find their way in C and in this summer house we find that Mrs Ramsay is also doing same thing that she care for her husband's work she praise her child each and every demand he know how to care for her daughter and also her guest can get best facility and their price her hospitality so in that way we find the Lighthouse and Mrs Ramsay

4)   " pagan myth "
   
     " Homeric "

By Greek myth we find that necessary always tell that " close the door but open the window" its own significant that don't open dude means not give very high freedom but open only little bit by saying that open the window means that give freedom but not much more and BSA slave of men.


5.) Künstlerroman
An artist novel detailing the artist's growth to maturity.
The künstlerroman is a type of bildungsroman—a novel where the protagonist undergoes an education—in which the writer charts the course of an artist undergoing an evolution from nascent stirrings to full artistic voice. Literally, künstlerroman translates to English as “artist” (from the German, “künstler”) and “novel” (from the French, “roman”).
where the hero often dreams of becoming a great artist but settles for being a mere useful citizen, the Künstlerroman usually ends on a note of arrogant rejection of the commonplace life.

6.)   We find that in this novel how to mother and daughter relation are Rising Mrs Ramsay and her daughter very complicated relationship we find one of daughter is too much obedient with Mrs Ramsay and she old thing done what her mother tell her or teachers and other two girls are not obedient to Mrs Ramsay and they are against to Mrs ramsay's thought and they are survive and one girl who is very nearest to the Mrs Ramsay she die.
            So in that way we can interpret that the how daughter of MRS Ramsay arguing with they are survive and which girl is always support to Mrs Ramsay she will die.

7) yes there is a vast different between movie adaptation and novel when we talk about know well then we find that the novel begin with the scene that Mrs Ramsay and gems are sitting and Lily briscoe making a painting that was the scene and the story will begin and end with the novel after 10 year when Lily briscoe complete his painting and Champs finally reach To the Lighthouse or not It is that is question and when we talked about movie the movie begin with the different angle and find that the movie is not convince live follow the novels plot somehow it's a changing and some sins are adapted from as it is in novel but when we read novel it's more significant just because we can find some more subconsciousness of characters , very well explain in novel so that's why novel is more good rather than the movie adaptation.

8)   Novel end       
        (It was done; it was finished.
         Yes, she thought, laying down her brush in extreme fatigue, I have had my     
         vision.)
It significant that Lily briscoe in her subconscious mind she thinking about Mrs Ramsay but now finally after 10 years her painting is complete so the interpretation come that the Mrs Ramsay is bridge for family but at one time she is also barricade for family after her death the family goes to visit lighthouse and Augustine carmichael poem are also sale so in that way finally Lily briscoe get her vision and the novel will end

Movie end
            (After the final stroke on the canvass with finishing touch, Lily walks inside the house. As she goes ante-chamber, the light and dark shade makes his face play hide-and-seek. She climbs stairs, puts her brush aside, walks through the dark and light to enter her room. Gently closes the door - speaks: "Closed doors, open windows" - lies on the bed and with some sort of satisfaction utters: "Dearest Briscoe, you are a fool".)

Here we find that movie and with some question like did the family member reach to Lighthouse and Lily briscoes painting is completed but only few three things she do and finally get her vision after 10 years and that is the thing that and she goes on her room by saying that she remember some of the talk with Mrs Ramsay and she murmured that dialogues and we give the interpretation that she finally realise that Mrs Ramsay spend her whole life for her family but still she cannot get anything that's why Mrs Ramsay call Lily briscoe you are a fool so in that way Mrs Ramsay try to say that don't become ordinary housewife follow your passion make them full feel and go with your dream and Desire.

9.)   In Virginia woolf's novel referring to army and Navy its on significant that she try to say that how the Nazi say na or his Army are against to the Virginia woolf thought so it's an irony or satire on Hitler side we see that by using matter for army and navy.

10)   in novel we see that the misogynic story tell by Mrs Ramsay we see that somehow it's give interpretation of both the side of grave or Desire come out like in Greek till we see that the fisherman's wife is so greedy for outer outer things is more important for her and here we say that Mrs Ramsay's inside Desire that her guest will praise her hospitality she want love for children and there give respect to his father till if father not behave with good way but still children have to give respect to father and pampering to husbands ego satisfy his Ego and praising his work for only became ideal stick women.



11.)    1) India is ruled by the men-folk.
   
        2) India is exotic place where lies great romance, adventure and happiness
       
  Yes India is a very exotic place where atmosphere is very warm and all three season come very well so atmosphere is too good and great Romance means the great mythical stories Airtel lots of War stories are also there and adventure just because India has have a forest that's why

3) Augustus Carmichael’s going to India is considered as some sort of achievement.

Just because India is the place where British people are ruler so majorly there literary person also like to are there dream visit India.

4) India is referred as place of desire. . . a desire to visit.

Yes so many people are so many Traveller history and literature a person I want to desire to come India just because in British literature and their ancient time we find that India's and Indian king name are written so for all European people India is a very Friendship full country or they have a dream or desire to visit at last one time to India.

5) Made in India jewelry is a thing to be possessed – owned with pride

Just because Indian jewelry are always related with the royal families and match only related with queen and their personal jewelry collection that's why when any anywhere in world people talk about Indian jewellery its own significant that its connected with Pride.

6) Some land which is far away – unknown land, the exotic land

In 16th and 17th century when the ocean map was not found to how to reach India by sea that time people call India as a land of spicy aur exotic land also given name. But later on Java and Sumatra become an exotic Island.

Movie review " Lagan "

Here I am sharing my experience on movie, " Lagan "
" Lagan " mean's  revenue.

Story based on 1893 "चंपानेर". This stories protagonist is not famous one or not Royal family or the freedom fighter but it's a normal farmer's son that become a leader and solve the problem of village.

Here we see that the work Kings become helpless and villain becomes british company became villain for us and King become an innocent docile people.

 In this movie both the side we find some " jaichand " and " vibushan "  like " Elizabeth " " " .

In this movie we find triangle of love story but just because of " language problem the protagonist never understand that his " teacher or Master for coach " " Elizabeth love him " but just because of language in never understand.

Here we see that in this movie how the Punjabi people are portrayed like a very brave people.

And also finally find that there is a good team work done by a protagonist and his village people and then you not believe in caste system we see that there are  Muslim  people in his team.

In this movie we find the caste system , also we find that the our Indian typical mentalities for cast.

Movie begin with problem of rain and farmers very poor condition and facing so much problem and the British company tell that you have to give revenue so and two time more so that is the problem and farmer are very tense and at that time they think that if they doing Worship on Temple then they get very good rain in their village but the British company refused to give permission and and captain tell that King  if  your people want to worship in temple then king have to eat meat that is the solution of the problem and King dinner too eat meat and the three time revenue is fix for public.

And major live you find that the it is a only for eco satisfaction we seen this movie that when a villain get angry on protagonist at that time he makes a condition that if you play cricket with us and won the match then you get a 3 years free revenue so the protagonist accept this challenge.

           About circket *****

Majoli cricket player by the white people and where their rule that country also play after this game so it's an example of postcolonial studies that we see that our colonial master I'll go back to their home but still we follow some rule and regulation and we appreciate their game and we adopted the game is an hour game.

Sign that way we can say that the cricket is not Indian gambit just because of India colonized by British people so that part of that's why they are playing the game and one more thing is that when Britishers came with their religion Christianity and also they came with their game like in cricket just because they never play Indian games by the Indian people still play cricket.


 postcolonialism*****

We see that in this movie that after a long time we become free from the White world people on British raj but still our mentality is that that someone is rule over I said they can teachers and they are very great person that they can rule out our us just like why in this movie the protagonist want help from the Elizabeth why not other people help him to teach cricket why not King help to teach the cricket game but some white people come and teach him how to play cricket that is in significance that we are still believe that some white people can give us a correct answer we cannot get correct answer by self or someone told us that we cannot get right answer but someone white people tell then and then we get correct answer is it so that our mentality or our mind is condition that white people means the correct answer the correct way.


             End of the movie***********

End of the movie we see that the protagonist team win and British team lost the match and we find that the finally the rain is coming and at the time the background music was so most beautiful and we see that the musical like that product only is been so background music is like a winning song play and
  when they are moving to this " चांपानेर "  at that time when Elizabeth meet to protocol his mother and his be love at that time also rain come but the rain sound is different its like in the tragedy of sadness on going.


Last ball played by protagonist ??

MATLLDA MOVIE REVIEWS

Arriving in the latter half of the summer, Danny DeVito's Matilda beats out such worthy contenders as The Hunchback of Notre Dame and Harriet the Spy for best family fare of the season. In fact, I haven't enjoyed a so-called "children's film" this much since last year's Babe or Toy Story. Although Matilda, which is based on a story by Roald Dahl (whose James and the Giant Peach reached screens earlier this year), is primarily aimed at the under-10 crowd, DeVito has crammed this movie with elements designed to appeal to adults. The result is a highly-satisfactory black comedy/fantasy that will find fans of all ages.

Matilda contains numerous elements of traditional fairy tales - a wicked step-aunt, a true friend with a pure heart, and more than a little magic - but "traditional" is about the last word that comes to mind when describing this quirky film. DeVito, whose previous efforts include the viciously wacky War of the Roses, is in fine form here, exaggerating characters and situations to the point where they lose their more terrifying edge without going so far that we no longer care about any of the inhabitants of this world. It's a fine line to walk, but Matilda rarely falters.

The basic material may seem odd for a family film, dealing as it does with issues of child neglect, abuse, and revenge. By removing the story from conventional reality, however, DeVito pulls it off. This is a world where adults (except two) are bad and children (except one) are good. It's a place where television is a force of mind-numbing evil and where books represent escape and solace. And, most importantly, empowerment is genuine, not just a slogan.

Matilda (Mara Wilson) is the youngest child, and only daughter, of Harry and Zinia Wormwood (Danny DeVito and Rhea Perlman), who are described as living "in a very nice neighborhood in a very nice house", but not being very nice people. Mr. Wormwood is a used car salesman with the police tracking his every move, and Mrs. Wormwood is obsessed with bingo parlors and television game shows. Both parents are extremely neglectful of their little six-and-one-half year old daughter, even though she shows signs of amazing intelligence and various remarkable powers (she and John Travolta's character in Phenomenoncould have long, meaningful discussions).

Eventually, Mr. Wormwood notices his daughter long enough to send her off to Crunchem Hall, an elementary school lorded over by the ogre-like Miss Trunchbull (Pam Ferris), whose motto is "Use the rod, beat the child." She practices what she preaches, taking delight in punishing her charges and informing them mercilessly that her idea of a perfect school is one where there are no children. Fortunately for Matilda, her first grade teacher, Miss Honey (Embeth Davidtz), is kind and good-hearted, and immediately recognizes her new student's amazing gifts.

Mara Wilson, who lit up the screen as Robin Williams' daughter in Mrs. Doubtfire, and captured the Natalie Wood role in the remake of A Miracle on 34th Street, is enchanting without being either sickeningly adorable or unbearably irritating. She has a natural charisma, and seems the perfect choice for the perky, indomitable Matilda. Wilson causes us to care about the title character, and that identification is necessary to Matilda's success. It's rare for an actor this young to give such a polished performance.

DeVito and his wife, Rhea Perlman, are effective in their cartoonish roles. Embeth Davidtz (Feast of July) radiates sweetness and vulnerability. And Pam Ferris takes on the Herculean role of Trunchbull by sinking her teeth into it and going as far over-the-top as the director lets her (which, in most cases, is pretty far). She reminded me forcefully of Ursula from Disney's animated The Little Mermaid. Meanwhile, Paul Reubens (aka Pee-Wee Herman) has a cameo as one of the cops shadowing Harry Wormwood.

Matilda is not politically correct - it is, after all, a pint-sized revenge fantasy - but, in this case, that's a definite plus. Besides, for those who want bland, "wholesome" family entertainment, there's always Disney. Children aren't likely to understand much of the black comedy and satire here, but they'll be so involved in the story that they won't notice that a lot is going over their heads. Hardly a moment of Matildacan be described as either juvenile or condescending, and, compared with many of this summer's so-called "mature" features, that makes for a delightfully refreshing change-of-pace.

My favorite book is "Indian Constitution " .

After reading " Indian Constitution " we feel that we have also get power we can do change. 

Online Discussion on " Mario Vargas Llosa's

I like this two - three things or ideas

1)   Alberto Fujimori’s election in Peru in             1990. In your tale, sex dominates as an           act of survival and as a reaction to                 oppression.

2)   yellow journalism

3)   Swedish Academy " scandal " 

4)  #MeToo movement.

-------1) Albert fujimoris electron in paru in                 1990

-------->     General elections were held in Peru on 8 April 1990, with a second round of the presidential elections on 10 June.The run-off was between favorite, novelist Mario Vargas Llosaleading a coalition of economically liberal parties collectively known as the Democratic Front and political underdog Alberto Fujimoriof the populist and more moderate Cambio 90. Vargas Llosa won the first round with a small plurality, but alienated much of the electorate with a comprehensive privatisationagenda, bolstering the allegedly unelectable Fujimori. Fujimori eventually won a landslide victory and would remain president for ten years until he was ousted in 2000.



---------> 2) Yellow journalism 

---------->     Yellow journalism and the yellow press are American terms for journalism and associated newspapers that present little or no legitimate well-researched news while instead using eye-catching headlines for increased sales. Techniques may include exaggerations of news events, scandal-mongering, or sensationalism. By extension, the term yellow journalism is used today as a pejorative to decry any journalism that treats news in an unprofessional or unethical fashion.


--------> 3) Swedish Academy " scandal "

--------> The man at the centre of sexual assault allegations that prompted the Swedish Academy to postpone this year's Nobel Literature Prize, will go on trial on rape charges.

French cultural figure Jean-Claude Arnault, who is married to a former member of the Swedish Academy which selects Nobel literature laureates, has been charged with raping a woman in Stockholm on two occasions in 2011.
The Stockholm district court told AFP his hearings will take place on September 19th, 20th and 24th.
According to the charge sheet, seen by AFP, the 71-year-old allegedly forced the victim – who was in a state of "intense fear" – to have oral sex and intercourse in a Stockholm apartment on October 5th, 2011.


--------> 4) # Me too movement .

-------->   The Me Too Movement (or #MeToo Movement) with many local/international alternatives is a movement against sexual harassment and assault. #MeToo spread virally in October 2017 as a hashtag used on social media in an attempt to demonstrate the widespread prevalence of sexual assault and harassment, especially in the workplace. It followed soon after the sexual misconduct allegations against Harvey Weinstein.Tarana Burke, an American social activist and community organizer, began using the phrase "Me Too" as early as 2006, and the phrase was later popularized by American actress, Alyssa Milano, on Twitter in 2017. Milano encouraged victims of sexual harassment to tweet about it and "give people a sense of the magnitude of the problem". As a result, this was met with success that included but not limited to high-profile posts from several American celebrities including Gwyneth Paltrow,Ashley Judd, Jennifer Lawrence, and Uma Thurman.

OD - 2 " On The waste Land "

And when we were children, staying at the archduke's, 
My cousin's, he took me out on a sled, 
And I was frightened. He said, Marie, 
Marie, hold on tight. And down we went. 
In the mountains, there you feel free.


 when we reading the wasteland after that if we see " Anton Chekhov "  short story then we feel that the westland main theme was " sexual perversion "  and  we can find it just because we give interpretation to

 "the when ' girl and boy came down to the mountain ' we interpretation that  both the in relationship( sexuel perversion ).  But  when we see " chekhav " story ( joke )  then we realise that there is nothing said by or done by them.   it is just the interpretation what we have seen and the what modern writer have found in this story so that is our interpretation not " Anton chekhav " interpretation.  but if see that there is the  hidden meaning are given and meaning we can find it.

---------> one thing is that the all interpretation are correct or one side we think that the wastelander are right and Other Side if we see then the " chekhav "  was right in his story.

  " Any other possible interpretation "

-------> yes we can find that when we see the story there is nothing can we see but there is not talk about  " sexual perversion " but if we see that there is the first love was happened but not feel full there is some reason behind it but the first love was not hundred percent full. A lady is in doubtful that who tell her " I love you " that is the situation we see . so in that case we can find there is nothing " sexual perversion"  so It is the wrong interpretation going.

The Great Dictator .

The Great Dictator, written and directed by Charlie Chaplin, who also stars, is a compelling movie. The film begins in a setting that resembles World War I. Charlie Chaplin plays a private in the Tomainian military, and also a barber. Charlie is startled by a cry of help from Schultz, the military commander. He successfully attempts to rescue the military commander. The two board Shultz’s airplane and fly off. Unfortunately, the plane crash lands into a nearby marsh. The two survive, but after being seen by a medical staff, they are told that Tomainia has lost the war.



Twenty years later, Adenoid Hynkel, (who is also played by Chaplin) the new dictator of Tomainia, has begun the persecution of the Jews. The focus then shifts the Charlie’s other character, the barber. He has been in the hospital recovering from memory loss inflicted from the plane crash. When the barber returns to his shop, which is located in a new Jewish Ghetto, he is surprised when storm troopers write “Jew” on the front of his shop. The barber is beaten by storm troopers when a resident of the ghetto named Hannah arrives and comes to his rescue. Then, as the barber is getting beaten for a second time, he is saved by Commander Shultz, who recognizes Charlie from World War I.

It becomes much more apparent that Hynkel is obsessed with world domination. This is shown in particular when Hynkel dances with a large globe. Hynkel plans to invade Osterlich, a neighboring town. He wishes for a loan to fund this invasion but is turned down. He continues his persecution of the Jews when he realizes the man who turned him down for a loan was Jewish.



Hynkel then invites Benzino Napaloni, who is the dictator of Bacteria, to Tomainia. They sign a treaty which establishes that Hynkel would not go through with the invasion. This treaty is immediately broken when Hynkel invades Osterlich anyway. One scene in the movie with great significance is the “great dictator” speech.

What eventually happens in the film is that Hynkel is on a hunting trip and is arrested due to his resemblance to the barber, and the barber who is wearing a Tomainian uniform is mistaken for Hynkel. He is then taken to the capital to give a speech. In the speech he calls for democracy and calls the government officials “Machine men, with Machine mind and Machine hearts.” This is the most moving part of the film.



Conclusions

The Great Dictator is one of the best movies ever made. There is a good mix of drama and comedy, and it gives a relatively accurate description of what happened up to World War II within the context of its humorous nature.  The film is one of great passion, especially expressed during the speech given by the barber in the Tomainian uniform as the “Great Dictator.” The speech was one that called for an end to injustice and one that would inspire people to rise against their exploiters. The film depicts a scenario in which an average man has the ability to speak with passion and compassion. For example, the barbar (dressed as the dictator Hynkel) states, “Power does not rest in one man or a group of men, but in all men, in you the people.” This film expresses passion, history, humor and progressivism. We here at the Red Phoenix recommend this film.

Modern times.

Modern Times (1936) is a funny comedy; however, this silent film presents a very serious socialist critique of twentieth-century society.  Chaplin portrays a factory worker on an assembly line that his tight-fisted employer keeps accelerating beyond the laborer’s capacity to keep up.  The control-freak owner values only efficiency, so he spies on his workers via a television screen.  He scolds them when they smoke during their five-minute breaks.  The employer resembles Big Brother in George Orwell’s novel 1984 (published in 1949).  Also, the boss has Chaplin’s character test a new efficiency machine that enables a worker to eat while still doing his job.  Obviously, the capitalist does not want to give workers any time for relaxation.  But the machine malfunctions, mauling Chaplin, and the boss decides not to use it after all.

Machines with many large cogs dominate this movie as a symbol of the modern world.  Chaplin includes many scenes in which the workers get caught in these cogs, representing their being ensnared in the capitalist enterprise that has no concern for workers’ safety, welfare, or happiness.  Chaplin’s small stature provides a sharp contrast to his taller co-workers and to the gigantic machines.

Chaplin’s factory worker character has a nervous breakdown due to his oppressive and overwhelming job.  He gets hospitalized but leaves the hospital unemployed.  In one subsequent scene, the starving worker eats a tableful of food at a cafeteria but cannot pay for it.  This marathon eating is hilarious but also emphasizes the precarious situation of the unemployed during the Great Depression.  The factory worker gets arrested again for not paying for his food.

Rather than helping him, the police and other authorities keep throwing the tramp into prison.  At one point, he joins a march of workers protesting their conditions, and the police arrest him again, claiming that he is the leader of the Communist march.  Ironically, the factory worker likes prison because his needs get met.

Chaplin’s partner Paulette Goddard portrays Ellen Peterson, “the gamin,” a young woman who is also caught in the unfairness of modern society.  She is an orphan trying to support her younger siblings when the authorities arbitrarily take them away from her.  In another scene, police arrest Ellen for stealing a loaf of bread when she is starving.  Chaplin tries to assist her, and they fall in love.

Ellen finds the couple housing, a small ramshackle wooden shack that is literally falling apart.  Pieces of wood keep hitting the couple as they move around their home. This is a good satire of shantytowns during the 1930s.

The tramp and Ellen struggle to find work.  He keeps losing jobs and facing unemployment and prison.  While Chaplin is in prison, Ellen finds a decent job dancing to entertain people at a café/restaurant.  She gets her boyfriend a similar job, and he waits on tables, dances, and sings to entertain the diners.  However, this temporary success ends when the police come to arrest Ellen for stealing a loaf of bread some weeks earlier and escaping arrest.  Clearly, Chaplin emphasizes that modern society makes life very hard for women.

The movie originally ended with Ellen joining a nunnery, but Chaplin rewrote this ending to make it more optimistic.  Ellen and the tramp walk together down a road at dawn.  Their future is uncertain, but they have some hope.
