Film, Recording, and the Other Arts

“The recording arts comprise an entirely new mode of discourse, parallel to those already in existence. Anything that happens in life that can be seen or heard can be recorded on film, tape, or disc. The "art" of film, then, bridges the older arts rather than fitting snugly into the preexisting spectrum. From the beginning, film and photography were neutral: the media existed before the arts. "The cinema is an invention without a future," Louis Lumiere is often quoted as having said. And indeed it might have appeared so in his day. But as this revolutionary mode of discourse was applied, in turn, to each of the older arts, it took on a life of its own. The earliest film experimenters "did" painting in film, "did" the novel, "did" drama, and so forth, and gradually it became evident which elements of those arts worked in filmic situations and which did not. “ – the 1st paragraph of Film, Recording, and the Other Arts 

My opinion basic on the first paragraph of film, recording, and the other arts that recording art is an invention of art with the latest method than the previous art. This art can record all events or activities in life into films, tapes, or disks. Since the beginning,  film, and photography were neutral they exist because there are media of art. "The cinema is an invention without a future", one of Louis Lumeire's quotes. And that is the view of the era. But after the art of film is more widely applied in everyday life, the film is one of the arts that can stand alone or in other words it is the discovery of a new art field. The earliest film experiments were like painting in film, making novels, dramas, and more, and all of those efforts paid off in clarifying which elements of art could work in films and which were not. So the conclusion is, film art emerged because of the times when every event in everyday life can be recorded through films, tapes, and disks, besides that they arises because of the support of other arts, such as painting, novels, drama, and music and also the presence of media of art and places such as cinemas that support the progress of film art.

Analysis of Patriarchy, Feminism, and Gender in The Short Story “The Steel Brassiere” by Iris Sheila G. Crisostomo

Patriarchy A patriarchy, from the ancient Greek  patriarches , was a society where power was held by and passed down through the elder males. When modern historians and sociologists describe a "patriarchal society," they mean that men hold the positions of power and have more privilege: head of the family unit, leaders of social groups, a boss in the workplace, and heads of government. Feminist theorists have expanded the definition of patriarchal society to describe a systemic bias against women. As second-wave feminists examined society during the 1960s, they did observe households headed by women and female leaders. They were, of course, concerned with whether this was uncommon. More significant, however, was the way society  perceived  women in power as an exception to a collectively held view of women's "role" in society. Rather than saying that individual men oppressed women, most feminists saw that oppression of women came from the underlying bias o...

“A Supermarket in California” by Allen Ginsberg

While reading this poem, I was a little confused about the meaning of this poem. However, after reading it several times I find that this poem tells of the poet-Allen Ginsberg's interest in Walt Whitman, an American poet and journalist. Allen Ginsberg wrote "A Supermarket in California" while he was living in Berkeley, California in 1955. This poem is one of Ginsberg's poetry that received the great influence of the American poet, Walt Whitman. Whitman, considered to be the first Native American poet of the nineteenth century, had an influence on Ginsberg's writing. His poetic style experimented on metering and rhythm and avoided the structured lines and verses that were standard forms of poetry at the time. He was an American poet who first introduced freestyle poetry, he also added unusual images and symbols to his poetry, his freedom in poetry earned him the nickname 'father of free verse'. Whitman is known as an eccentric person, both because of his wr...

THE SECRET GARDEN

Like all great stories for children, The Secret Garden contains powerful truths just beneath the surface. There is always a level at which the story is telling children about more than just events; it is telling them about the nature of life.  It is a work of beauty, poetry, and deep mystery, and watching it is like entering for a time into a closed world where one's destiny may be discovered.   In this film, Holland has again made a film about a missing child, but this time her theme and her telling of it are in complete harmony. It is a beautiful, intelligent film; a fable, a lesson, and entrancing entertainment. From the character of Mary Lenox, we can see  the moral of this story is that anyone can change.  Mary Lennox is a young girl who was raised in India, becomes an orphan. She is initially an ill-tempered, self-absorbed child. Through fresh air, exercise, self-help, and the magic of the secret garden, she transforms into a healthy, robust, and caring child...
