How do you decipher the equation: b = s – v x/+ a1 or a2 + v + a1 X s = b?

               First equation-  B= S- V x/+ a1

 B=Baby,

 S= Sarah,

 V=Veronica,

 a1= Adrian

The writer mentioned unreliable narrative style. Tony is the perfect narrator for this novel but any element is responsible for it than it’s ‘Psychology, there is no ending but we can interpret it our own way. Even in my resent dealing thought, stubborn or haughty.

My view about the movie "Harry potter and Deathly Hallows"

Introduction

              Harry potter is written by J.K. Rowling. She was also use of magic become metaphysical power. If they can have a unnatural world or artificial life.

Children’s literature

             Harry potter is children literature or fantasy book. Harry potter was lead main character of the J.K. Rowling book. As we know say that the detective story or deep satire in the society. Harry potter character is young or magical, super hero for children and like on the fantasy novel. I give the example of one children literature- “Oliver Twist” by Charles Dickens.  Harry potter series was real, fantasy, magical literature. In children with optimistic narrative or sequence was darker pessimistic. Harry potter was many thinking on the love, friendship, good verse, evil, and death, evil it’s true. 

Harry potter said;

            “I must not tell lies”

Theme of choice and chance-
                Choice & Chance both are different or binary opposition. Choice mean the making mentally design. As we can say that no choice of harry potter but chance is a very vital role in harry potter life.  Harry potter is the half-blood prince. She was a pure and chance to a vital role in the harry potter book.   Harry Potter series: "it is our choices” and that is truly far of the ability.  It would be naive to claim that an individual's life is completely an act of voluntary choice. We can say that harry potter is ideal literature was human choice.

The theme of Love and Death- 

         Harry potter is theme of love and death is central theme in the narrative. Harry that is “ability to love” is work against the lure of power like Voldemort's. Mean......Love is very important to live life. If human which help each other home is self.  Death is kind of reality. Harry potter’s experience is connected with chance as it is very important aspect of the way.  Harry has to die or have to suffer pain of death to kill evil which exists within him. And Death becomes the symbol of 'resurrection' in the novel. The love between Ron and Hermione is the sub plot of the novel. Universal truth is human excited and never how to track by destiny.  Harry’s own love-life is more subtly recorded.

Comparative study in South Indian movie or Bollywood movie

Introduction

        Bollywood or south Indian cinema is very different and time, action, place and hero is different but plot as same. Here I am discussing about the sequel movie in Telugu or Malayalam and Bollywood.

Dabangg vs Gabbar singh  

Dabangg

       Dabangg is Indian action movie is directed by Abinav kashyap and produced by Arbaaz khan. Salman khan or Sonakshi sinha was main role or Sonu sood the play in negative role.  There are released dates in 10 September 2010.  It opened to generally positive reviews, and went on to gross ₹2.15 billion worldwide. It was later remade in a Telugu as a “Gabbar singh” 

Gabbar singh

         Gabbar Singh is a 2012 Indian action-comedy film and the lead actors include Bandla Ganesh and produced Harish Shankar. The lead actors include Pavan kalian or Shruti Hassan or Abhimanyu sing is supporting role. The film was released on 11 May 2012 to positive reviews and became a large commercial success. It was dubbed in Hindi as “Policewala Gunda”  by Goldmine Telefilms in 2013.

            Both movies are some more different point.  The songs were entertaining too. I must admit that the item song (kevvu keka) was not as good as expected since the edited version in the trailer was very slick and entertaining. Salman Khan is given new looking with mustache. His body language is used properly to extract heroism as well as comedy.  Pawan kalian ensured that the body language and gestures of Chiranjeevi are implemented through. Dabangg is the better film, but if you have to watch a movie purely for the commercial aspect and entertainment.

Tere naam vs Sethu 

Tera naam

        Tere naam is a Indian romantic drama film. Tera naam was released on 15^th August 2003.  It is directed by Satish kaushik and written by Bala. Man role in Salman khan or Bhumika chawla. Tere naam was biased on real incident in friend on Bala and they have loved each other. This film remake of Tamil film “Sethu” 

 

  Sethu

        Sethu is 1999 movie is Indian Tamil romantic drama film. It is directed or written by Bala. There are main role in Vikram or Abhidha.

            

           Both movie producers are same and these languages the film was a box office hit. End is very emotional and sad.  

Wanted vs Pokkiri

Wanted 

     Wanted is 2oo9 in crime action film directed by Prabhu Deva. This film stars Salman khan Ayesha Takia or Praksh raj was play in negative role. Wanted was due to salman khan comeback in cinema. It is a movie second higest Bollywood film of the year 2009. This movie was official remake in Tamil film “Pokkiri”

Pokkiri 

       Pokkiri is a 2006 Indian Telugu or Tamil film (2007). It is a directed by Puri Jagannadh or Manjula Ghattanmaneni. Pokkiri has been big hit in Tollywood original version is in Telugu. Film star in Mahesh Babu or Ileana D’cruz or prakash raj was negative role in a play.  Made on  budget around in R.100-200 million.

            Both movie are similar because Telugu Mahesh Babu actor in pokkiri as a police officer or Hindi Salman khan as a police officer but Telugu movie song are good but Hindi in the song are not that much good. Prakash raj was villain in all three movies and he was best villain for his performance in Tamil version Pokkiri.

 Ready vs Ready

Ready

       Ready is 2011 Indian romantic film. It is directed by Anees Razmee and lead role in Salman khan or Asin.  It is a remake of the 2008 Telugu film. Ready.

 Ready

       Ready is 2008 Telugu romantic movie. It is produced by Sravanthi Ravi kishor and main lead role in Ram or Genelia. The movie was a runaway hit and also was a major grosser in 2008. It was remade in Tamil as “Uthama puthriran” with Dhanush & Genelia Decouze in the lead and was average at box office though a few controversies rose due to some scenes. 

        Though the entire film was a complete entertainment, the director chose to end the film with a poor climax. The climax was a little dull. The audiences expect a good action scene in the end but it ends casually. Bolly wood ready song was fabulous and absolutely addictive, especially Character Deela and Dinka Chika but movie was not hit in Telugu or Hindi cinema.

 Bodyguard vs Kaavlan

 Bodyguard 

        Bodyguard is a 2011 Indian action film.  It is directed by Siddique with Salam khan or kareena kapoor. Raj Babbar was negative role in play. It is a remake of the director's own 2010 Malayalam film or the same name starring Dileep or Nayantar. But here, I am discussed about Telugu movie “Kaavlan.”

Kaavlan

    Kaavlan is a 2011 Telugu romantic or action movie and it is directed by Siddhique. Starring is Vijay or Asin was main lead roles, or Rajkiran, mithra kurian or Roja in supporting role in a play it has later dubbed in Hindi “Main Hoon Bodyguard”

    

        Both movies are successful 100 days theatrical run at many Centres.  Bhoominathan (Vijay) realizes that Asin who was his dear love. Siddique has penned a simple story very intrinsically. Vijay has also done some extremely great movements in two songs and in yaaradhu he’s a delight to watch. The pacing is quick, music is peppy, action is stylized and editing is crisp. Karisma Kapoor's dubbing for Kareena's telephonic conversations seems seamless.

Drishyam vs Drishyam

Drishyam

        Drishyam is Indian drama thriller film and it is directed by Nishikant Kamat. The film was released 31 July 2015. It features Ajay Devgan, Shriya and Tabu in the lead roles, and produced by Kumar Mangat Pathak and Ajit Andhare. The film is a remake of Jeethu Joseph's 2013 Malyalam film “Drishyam”.

Drishyam

     Drishyam The director Jeethu Joseph is receiving a standing ovation for his fine execution of a well written material from a very simple plot.

           Malyalam film Drishyam and it retained the original name and the plot as well. Malyalam Drisham movie was super hit but Bollywood movie was not bad grosser but did not make it big lucking at the price. Malayalam movie was better in a cinema. It is not great Malayalam movie. But even in an almost scene by scene remake.

My view about the "Da Vinci Code" based on novel by Dan Brown

My view about the "Da Vinci Code" based on novel by Dan Brown

“Da vinci code” was written by Dan Brown in 2003. Da vinci was detective story to reveal a murder. They are third person or omniscient narrative.  The real history is Anti-Christian or suspense thriller story. And Suspense thriller is high literature, they have been more realistic.

 5- What difference do you see in the portrayal of 'Ophelia' (Kate Winslet) in Kenneth Brannagh's Hamlet, 'Elizabeth' (Helena Bonham Carter) in Kenneth Brannagh's Mary Shelley's Frankenstein or 'Hester Prynne' (Demi Moore) in Roland Joffé's The Scarlet Letter' or David Yates's 'Hermione Granger' (Emma Watson) in last four Harry Potter films - and 'Sophie Neuve' (Audrey Tautau) in Ron Howard's The Da Vinci Code? How would justify your answer?

              

                 Ophelia, Hester, Hermione, Kenneth Brannagh's all are compare to the Da vinci codo’s Sophie Neuve' was portrayal.



 Scarlet Letters'  Hester prynne was strength or honest women.  She's a self-sufficient single mother in puritan society. Hester Prynne was Beautiful, sensitive mother, love for her child, innocent and hopeless character. They is suffering in her life.  She was a love into Dimmesdale but society was not accepted to the love. Because hester is married women and they was born in one child.  At last the relation was problematic in a way and they have portrayal in the movie or novel.

 Hamlet’s Ophelia is a fictional character in the play. They are very beautiful, emotional, sensitive character. They are love into hamlet or many scenes Ophelia as nakedness, use for sex and her madness. Portrayal   of Ophelia at end Ophelia was die.

     
   Harry potter’s Hermione is very intelligent, powerful brilliant academic mind and photographic memory. Hermione Granger is ported as someone who is devoted to learning new things. Hermione was emotional scene in to friends Ron or Harry potter. She was not helpless but have modern girl. 

  Kenneth Branagh’s Frankenstein in Elizabeth was Beautiful, Innocent and weak character. She is loneness girl because narration is not good and they have complaisantly. They can have helpless character in Mary shelly novel.

          Da vinci code novel was related to the anti-Christian. Sophie was intelligent, smart or not believes in God.  The text can prove the idea of priory of Sion and they have most important of the movie. Sophie in ‘The Da Vinci Code’ is beautiful. Feminine sacredness is shown when Robert kisses Sophie on her forehead.  If they can have women character is portrayal or they related to the Sophie.

1 - Brown states on his website that his books are not anti-Christian, though he is on a 'constant spiritual journey' himself, and says that his book The Da Vinci Code is simply   "an entertaining story that promotes spiritual discussion and debate" and suggests that the book may be used "as a positive catalyst for introspection and exploration of our faith."

    Da vinci code novel was a not anti- Christian novel but they have believed in religion.  It is nothing to Christianity but symbol of pentacles. They are central themes in Christianity and novel was related to the deconstruction. Sophie was portals character or they not believe in God.   A person was believed in symbol or Christianity. Madonna and children was faith Christianity and if they can relate to marry Jesus. So here is only to spiritual thinks and not hurt Christian but mysteries and secret of Christian religious.  

“Christian by body”

6- Do novel/ film lead us into critical (deconstruction) thinking about your religion ? Can We think of such conspiracy theory about Hindu religious Symbols/myths?

 Yes, I agree film lead us into deconstruction thinking about your religion. 

                           Swastika is symbol in positive or Hindu swastika. It is a symbol of renaissance or they have symbol of luck or good – Good blessing. It is very important in to Hindu society. 

“They are truth, they are belief truth “

Da vinci code novel was real Christianity. They are speculative, suspense thriller or detective story.  Hitler swastika borrowed those sentiments to rally support behind the Nazi Party. 

Pentacle –

       
           Which symbol make for pentacle.it is related in to male or female?  In this Point Da Vinci Code protagonist symbolically match the Anti- Religious idea of modern look. It is the symbol of positive, pious, blissful   and dehumanization of the way. We know is truth are always contrast of knowledge to convince of related things of how to connect to impression.       

   

A Critical Analysis of ‘Black Skin White Masks’ By Frantz Fanon

            

              

Introduction

             Frank Fanon was born on 20 July 1925 or died on 6 December. Fanon wrote Black skin white mask book an analysis of the psychological effects of colonial people identified as black. Black skin white mask is a sociological study of the psychology of racism and dehumanization inherent to colonial domination. The black man wants to be a white man. The white man slaves to be reach a human level. Fanon describes that Black people experience in the White world. The white people hate the black people, they suffer a lot. Black skin, White Mask’ - This book divided in many chapters. Each chapter has its own importance.

”The Black Man and Language “

                  

                   

             This chapter deals with the language of white people. The Language of White people is in center and Language of Black people is in periphery. Black people have to learn the language of White people. That if a black person does not learn the white man’s language perfectly, he is unintelligent.

The Women of color and the Whiteman

          

             The effect of white people also touched to the society. Black Woman also wished the White Skin which White woman has. How desire of “Whiteness” is more in the Black woman. Because of that many “Fairness cream” and their industries grow faster and faster.

             The colonized women look down on their own. Race and deep down want to be white. In “The Bluest Eye “of “Toni Morrison” we find a black girls desire fun the blue eyes of white men and woman.

The Man of the Color and the White  Women

             A white female just because he was raised around whites so he seemed less black. They go with them not out of love but to deal with their own race. Men want to be white too-or at least prove they are equal to whites. Here a black man wants to join white women.  Prejudices that make him not want to join a white man’s world. Whites represent wealth, beauty, intelligence and virtue. White people have rules over Black people and they have shaped that idea that whiteness is symbol of Goodness.

The So-called Dependency Complex of the colonized peoples

              The writer argues against Fanon’s view that people of color have a deep desire for white rule, that those who oppose it to do not have a secure sense of self that they have a chip on their shoulder. That people of color have a deep desire for white rule, that those who oppose it to do not have a secure sense of self that they have a chip on their shoulder. And White Saviors all come from the need of white people to feel that their power in society is good and not racist.

The lives experience of the Blackman

        Chapter-5 Fanon’s works influenced movement of the Palestinian, African- American and others.  Fanon argues about Blackness and his struggle endured such the psychologically alimental effects of colonialism. “Black skin or white Mask “is book about the mindset of racism. Fanon expresses his feeling of inferiority and says, “Sin is Black as Virtue is White”

  “Dirty nigger!” Or simply, “Look, a Negro!”

The Blackman and Psychopathology

              Black men are viewed as a body which makes them seem like mindless, violent sexual, animal beings. Bad meanings that the word “Black. Part it has to do with white men’s repressed homosexuality and their strange hang-ups about black men’s penises.

The Negro and Recognition

       Last chapter was divided into 2 sections, The negro Adler” or “The negro and the Hegel” 

 

Section-“The Negro Adler”

                                                                      

  Adler was understand someone not through his words and action. Fanon applies Adler’s personality theory to the ‘Antillean Negro’

 Different styles of white rule shaped black people in America.

 Section B- “The Negro and the Hegel”

                                                   

 Hegel used their idea as a jumping off point to understand the black from island Martinique. The ‘Hegelian dialectic’ offers Fanon argues an explanation of what distinguishes “human reality” from “natural reality".

Way of conclusion    

       The escaping the prison of one’s past and one’s race. Fanon throughout the book deals with the inner struggle of black when they were colony ‘the black man and language’ deals with language. They want not only to turn white but also to avoid slipping back.

             Frantz work present hybridists, syncretistic, creolizing, national and religious peculiarity, abrogation, appropriation. The Black people’s experience in the white world.

Blacks were born with original sin, whites were born pure. Negro is the universalizing himself.

“Oh my body, make me always man who questions….”
