The 400 Blows and Hoodwinked

The 400 Blows and Hoodwinked are similar in certain ways. Antoine has only been around his house or he's at school. Red has only been inside the forest her whole life. They both want to be able to explore and see what else is going on around them by venturing out. Along the way, they both get into a little bit of mischief with some communication problems with people close to them.They both begin to feel alone, but end up running into people who don't necessarily bring out the best side of them.

Cultural Perspective: Water

In the film, Water, it was difficult for the women to feel like everyone else while they were cooped up in one place. Since they were all widows, they weren't allowed to remarry or be with anyone else. You could tell some of the women wanted to remarry. They wanted to move on from feeling like they meant nothing. Especially the women who became a widow at a very young age. Men knew they couldn't marry the women who were a widow because it was a sin. If someone remarried, they would be cursed by doing so. The women would clean themselves with water to take away evil. They also used water as holy water to heal the sick. The water took away pain from people whether it was mentally or physically.

Music: The Great Gatsby

Time: :20-:48

The music is upbeat and fast. Daisy is dancing with Tom, who's her cousin, and is having the time of her life. They're both smiling and laughing, as Gatsby is watching them while sitting in a chair. The music dramatically changes from happy to a more depressing sound. The music transitions to slower music where Gatsby is remembering the days he had with Daisy kissing/dancing with her and also the war he was in. The war separated Gatsby and Daisy because he was gone so long, she didn't wait for him. Gatsby zones out while picturing these memories again.
