Zero movie

Image result for zero movie picturesIn the movie Zero written by Himanshu Sharma and directed by Aanand L. Rai, Shah Rukh Khan, Anuksha Sharma, and Katrina Kaif are the lead actors acting out a story of a competition between superficial love and true love filled with insecurities. The theme of the movie is Love is not superficial, you should go back to the one you truly love. The movie is about Bauu Singh (Shah Rukh Khan) looking for a wife in which he meets Aafia Yusufzai Bhinder (Anuksha Sharma) and they fall in love. However, he dumps her after five months but she comes back looking for him and they parents arrange for them to get married. But Bauua runs away when he learns that he was selected for the dance competition to dance with Babita Kumari (Katrina Kaif). He acts as her advisor and gets her back together with her boyfriend wanting to go back to Aafia because he loves her but being to scared to do so, he doesn't until he is kicked out of her house for putting up a fight with her boyfriend and ruining her party. After returning to Aafia he is rejected by her and tries to get her through other means of finally getting a job as the person who is going to be sent to Mars on a rocket. He succeeds in the end of the movie and Aafia waits for his return.

Bauua Singh in the movie is a dwarf who splurges on his father's money and refuses to grow up due to his insecurities about his short height. However, he changes in the movie from someone who is unsure about who he loves and wants to someone who knows who he wants. He changes from someone who just wants the best girl he can get to someone who follows his heart. At first he wants to go to the dance competition to get to Babita because she's his ideal woman and she kissed him in which he doesn't understand why and only that she did it. He loves Aafia the entire movie and knows that she's the one for him but he leaves her and then returns to her only after being kicked out of Babita's house. His return shows that he has learned that he should follow his hearts desire instead of going for Babita or other women besides her. He doesn't give in to his fears but keeps trying to reach Aafia instead of finding someone else. He's dumb because he doesn't realize why Babita kissed him even though she was crying and saying that her boyfriend left her, and instead leaves Aafia for Babita because she kissed him.

Babita Kumari is portrayed as a strong and impulsive women in the movie. She is insecure and feels dejected because she is rejected by the guy she loves. However, she impulsively confronts her fears by facing up to her ex boyfriend's new girlfriend, causing her ex boyfriend to be scared that she'll cause trouble. Other notable scenes of her impulsive character include when she stops the car in the middle of the road and kisses Bauua out of sadness, telling him to tell everyone that Babita Kumari kissed him and no one would believe him.
Another message I garnered from the movie is that midgets and disabled people are looked down upon. Even though she's a scientist and he's nothing they are thought to be perfect for each other an equals by some of the characters while Aafia's dad tries to convince her she's a lot better than him and shouldn't marry him. This makes me confused because despite what the movie relays, I do not think looks and height is what make two people equals.

I was also upset at the parents forcing them to marry because I don't think anyone should get married against their will. I liked the filming techniques used in the movie to make Shah Rukh Khan look small. The movie is filmed in two takes: One with Shah Rukh Khan in it and the other with out him in it with life size people. They took the two takes at different scales to make a single image with the Shah Rukh Khan shot made to look smaller. Shah Rukh Khan was shrunk with the help of tracking the body muscles using CG trackers. CG trackers are put on the body of the actor during shooting scenes. The CG team then makes a matte image and creates a 3D image from the previously filmed scenes. There are two different sets at different scales so that the characters would appear to be the right size.

son in coma news article

link to article: https://www.wral.com/son-in-coma-mother-shocked-to-find-she-had-little-say-in-his-medical-care/15062774/ In this article a 18-year old is critically injured and in coma. His mother had little say in his medicare and wanted to get legal guardianship to make decisions for her son. Some may think that the doctor should have all the say in medicare because doctors know best and parents can make the wrong decisions. Others may say parents should have some say in the decisions for their children because doctors may not care enough for the patient to make the right decisions or may not thoroughly do the job. I have known a case where this is to be true. One of my friend's dad was not thoroughly checked and so they could not properly treat him and he died of a heart attack. This is why I think that the parents should have some say in medicare although I think doctors should also have some say in medicare because they know best in their profession. I also think it shou...

happier by marshmello ft. bastille music video

https://youtu.be/m7Bc3pLyij0 In the music video of the song 'Happier' by Marshmello ft. Bastille, the story of the girl and her dog is one of happiness, hope, and sadness. The video starts off with a girl sad on her birthday and gets a dog which makes her happy. I also get happy in this part because she's happy.Then it shows her time with the dog as she measures herself and the dog, and plays soccer with it. When she's sad the dog cheers her up but stops playing with her. This makes me worried because I know that this means the dog might die in the video. After months pass by, the dog is about to die and when she's sad he comforts her. This also makes me sad because I don't want the dog to die since the girl and the dog are so happy together. The reason for the dog's death is omitted. 20 years later, she gets a dog for her child who's just as happy as she was when she got her first dog. This makes me happy because I want the child to have as many happy ...

Miss Representation

Image
   In the documentary, Miss Representation , the issue of young girls being influenced by media to only value how they look like is presented. Media also causes the issue of devaluation of women by men who also value how girls look like. Men are learning to hold power sexually and women are learning that only their body matters. Women are then stereotypically perceived to be weak while men are expected to be masculine and strong. Women are only shown to be used sexually and are devalued because to men it seems that only a woman's body matters. This is because men hold a lot of power in our society. Women don't get much of a chance to share their voice and ideas with the world, giving them the image that they are less than men.   At a young age, children are exposed to social pressure due to media content. For example, in most G-rated movies, women are shown wearing clothing as sexually revealing as those in R-rated films. Children learn that women are valued for their bo...
