Reflection 6

 Recently, I've watched quite an interesting Polish movie "Short film about killing". In my opinion it showed in a simple way how people perceive death or murder due to the person who committed the crime and the way of doing it. The main plot was about a young man who brutally killed a taxi driver. Firstly, I felt anger because all in the entire driver was an innocent man, the murderer didn't know him so he didn't seem to have a reason to commit that crime. I thought so until the next scenes showed that the man actually wanted to steal a car to go on a trip with his girlfriend. Of course this is not an excuse for his behaviour but at least it clears a little his motives. In the end the criminal confessed to his lawyer about his sad past, the fact that his friend accidently killed his sister. It seemed like in his opinion this accident was the reason why he changed and committed the crime.
 Finally, there is a scene of the murderer execution and this was what actually made me think about this film. That's because the main character was put in the bad light because of the murder but in the end hangman also kills him so why the hangman can be innocent. It is still taking away someone's life but just in the other way. And in my opinion the fact that it's his job is not an excuse.

    That's what great directors, like Kieślowski, are able to do - change your perspective, show you new ways of looking at things wich you think are pretty obvious.

Guernica

                               GUERNICA As a conclusion of the topic about Picasso I decided to write about Guernica. It's a painting which Pablo painted in 1937 and now it's known at the global scale. It's probably one of the most famous paintings of Picasso. It is 349 cm high and 776 cm wide, so it's more like a mural painting but it's not on the wall but on a huge canvas. The whole process of creating was documented by a photographer who he dated then, Dora Maar. It can be know admired in the National Museum of Art in Madrid with her photos. The history of the masterpiece refers to the bomb that was dropped at a village in the North of Spain, Guernica. It caused a lot of damage including killing many civils. This was actually the first time when the artist painted something as a reaction to a political problem. Guernica shows the tragedy of war and suffering of the innocent. We can see there,...

Is it possible to live plastic free?

Our society has a serious problem with plastic consumption. We use so much of it that we can't deal without it. The video showed how a man challenged himself to live plastic free for a month. It wasn’t easy because nowadays most of food products are wrapped in plastic. There is also a problem with expenses because usually eco food is more expensive but sometimes it's cheaper e.g. buying coffee in your own reusable cup gives you discount. I think that regardless of the difficulty we should try to use less plastic to protect the environment but probably it's not possible to live completely free of it. words: penalty, incentive, to throw oneself into sth I threw myself into that work and couldn't stop doing it. Some people think death penalty should be legalised Kids sometimes needs an  incentiv e to eat food they don't like. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QC9TYktAWfM

Picasso's women

                                                                     Picasso's women When we look at Picasso’s paintings we can see a lot of women’s portraits and acts. The reason is Picasso as many other artists had his muses. In a huge number of his mistresses there are only 7 with whom he lived for a longer time and who had influence on his art. The first one was Fernande Olivier  (1881-1996). He met her in 1904 when he moved to France. In 1907, when Fernande was with someone else he painted famous "Les demoiselles d'Avignon”. It is supposed that the feeling of jealousy had influence on him while painting the masterpiece. The second one was Eva Gouel. She was with the artist for 4 years and died because of tuberculosis in 1915. His first marriage was with Olga Koklova, a Ukraine woman, who gave b...
