Anukul- Satyajit Ray

Image
The story depicts the book of Satyajit Ray, and the movie very well demonstrates the influence from Satyajit Ray on Sujoy Ghosh. The movie predicts the future of the world where even the household is done by a robot, which replaces manly labor. In the movie Anukul, a Hindi school teacher, Nikunj Chaturvedi who hires a robot to do his household chores. The robot is programmed to work over-time, with no weekends, and holidays. He slowly becomes a part of the house and observing things and people around. After some events which takes place at Nikunj's house, the robot and the owner have a different bond from that of a owner and his housekeeper.  The movie's core theme is the constant battle between man and machines which spoil the livelihood of the normal people. If something works 24/7 without any excuse of leave, or weekends, but with a sole purpose to only serve you, then anyone in that case would prefer a machine than a man. The movie too is about the same where in the battle ...

The media has brought the news that chocolate is good for pregnancy, late-night snacking is bad for the brain, and the most hilarious thing is that if the fart is smelt, it could be a big deal preventing cancer. (the study saying that smelling the fart can prevent cancer) John Oliver is very much right about not believing everything we hear. As the scientists give out some random studies just because they are under constant pressure to come up with something new. John specifically says how there is a lot of bullshit currently masquerading...

Last Week Tonight with John Oliver is a show with the genre of news satire, political satire and is also a talk show. The point of this episode is was to ask why society still gives into this demeaning beauty contest. The arguments are given by John Oliver and how he included sarcasm is to be valued and appreciated. Beauty pageants are mostly about female objectification and the Miss America Pageant is no exception. The show was first started by evaluating the contestants based on their bodies. How they were scored was accordingly; 5 points for the head construction, 5 points for the limbs, 3 points for the torso, and so on. (head construction examining) (limb examining) (torso examining) For all the Miss America Organization's claim to be about 'style, service, scholarship, and success, since 1921'. It was hard to see what service is performed when pretty and unmarried women, with no history of pregnancy, who disp...
