Analytical Review of “Inherent Vice”: The Tale of the Entire Nation that Wants to Cling to the Past

The movie entitled “Inherent Vice” encompassed the times of 1960s when technology was not too common, and therefore, human intellectual ability was the foremost weapon that criminologists had to use in order to solve even the untraceable ones.

The language that he applied in order to communicate with himself on a professional level was the greatest barrier in front of Continue reading...

[University/Institutional Affiliation]

I was deeply touched by the documentary Last Train Home. It depicts the world's largest human migration, a phenomenon in Chinese culture which I find both beautiful and tragic at the same time. 130 million city workers travel back to their villages in order to spend New Year holidays with their families. It is sad as the process of getting home is filled with difficulties, such as inability to get the tickets, long and tiring trip in uncomfortable train, overcrowded with people and luggage. Still, on Continue reading...

Following the American Psychological Association’s Guidelines

The environment and its depletion is a growing issue in today’s modern society. What was once something so easy to brush out of our minds is now something evidential and threatening to our sustainability. The changing landscape, as well as our contribution to it, is beginning to assure that events such as mass extinctions and the flooding of coastlines are no longer something of radical mythology. The documentary, Chasing Ice, follows James Balog, a dedicated photographer and his equally dedicated crew of photographers, engineers, and scientists, as they document the changing glacial landscape in Greenland, Alaska, and Montana.

The films Midnight Cowboy, directed by John Schlesinger, and Precious, directed by Lee Daniels, explore these issues from different angles – the former through a pair of young white men navigating the city and its gay subculture, the latter through the abject poverty of Continue reading...
