Gandhi the Film and How It Compares to Early 20th Century Indian History
Gandhi While ‘Gandhi’, the movie, when combined with Metcalf and Frankel’s research , gives a comprehensive and multi-dimensional understanding of India towards the end of the British occupation, and helps us empathize in a way the readings alone cannot, I feel that the movie on its own, irresponsibly conveys a dangerously limited understanding of the early 20th century dilemma in the Asian sub-continent. By failing to capture the salient class tensions and problematic notions

Shakespeare on Film - Observations
Shakespeare On Film 02/10/04 Hamlet 20002 Observations It was a difficult movie to sit through. It is not because the movie is inherently bad but because of my own neurosis. The works of Shakespeare, in my humble estimation, are not meant to be modernized. Modern settings, along with modern stylization detract from the original beauty of the work. It is illogical to watch Polonius giving fatherly advice to the young Ophelia in a penthouse
