Assignment 6
Capitalism A Love Story
In this documentary my Michael Moore capitalism
was the target. It was about the impact of corporate dominance on the everyday
life of American people as well as transformation of world.
Capitalism is a system of
taking and giving, mostly taking. After watching this film I will likely recall one of the boldest
message that is capitalism is somehow evil. In this film they have shown how
capitalism affects the normal people’s life.
Increase in the technology affecting the less
use of man power which causes trouble for normal people and this is the main
reason to increase the gap between a rich and a poor. Rich are becoming richer
and poor are becoming as poorer as they are not able to satisfy the basic needs
of their family.
In this film this argument has been shown very provocatively that Capitalism is not good and it is amoral.
Have you seen the Arana?
The documentary ‘Have you seen the Arana?' by Sunanda Bhat was about
the beliefs of tribal people of Wayanad. These people believe that their goddess
has turned into the lizard Arana which is getting dissolved by the time. She used
this belief as a metaphor to show how forests and their traditions are vanishing
in this world of modernism.
In this documentary
they have shown problems faced by these tribes and it has been shot by the people’s point of view that
still follows the tradition and not really ready to accept the new growing
world and their traditional believe.
She tried to capture complex issues around tradition, change, mythology,
livelihood and environment as well as how the new generation is not ready to
take the traditional legacy ahead. Why they don’t want to take this farming
further? Why they are not willingly ready to welcome these transformation and development.
Why farmers are committing suicides?
In this documentary they have captured beauty
of Wayanad. To get the essence of their lifestyle they tried to capture every
seasons in their life.
I feel that their
life is so restrictive and mainly revolves around their customs. If they keep
thinking in the same way they will never move ahead.
