Movie review : The scarlet letter.

The scarlet letter is a novel written by Nathaniel Hawthorn. As We know that there is always a movie on literary text. And watching movie on any text gave us better understanding of the text. So we also whatch movie based on that text.

The movie we saw was a Version 1995. It was directed by Roland Joffé and stars Demi Moore, Gary Oldman, and Robert Duvall. This version was "freely adapted" from Hawthorne and deviated from the original story.

When we talk about movie and symbol in it we see very first that when she say that she will live in her own house all people on table are shocked as if she has committed some sin. We see that it something unnatural for them that a woman lives alone or she has her own house.

When we talk about woman we see that there are two things remarkable about them. First we see that hair is symbol of beauty so all the woman in movie always cover their hair. Second thing in movie is all the woman looks alike Nun.

There is one thing we see that courage of Hester in movie and in novel is same.

One thing I feel is that the Hester loves to live near nature which in turn hints at the conflict between nature and culture. Culture always have restrictions where as nature has freedom. And Hester do not want to live as the society wants her to live. She wants to live her own way and her own rules.

According to me this movie shows that,

Intimacy is forbidden and passion is a sin, love is most defiant crime of all.

The poem The Eagle is written by Lord Tennyson. He was a English poet often regarded as he chief representative of the Victorian age in poetry. He was also a poet laureate during the time of 1850 to 1892. This is a lyric poem. The Eagle is brief but vivid glimpse into the world of this powerful bird. As with the best poet's work, this short poem display a strong musical sense. Summery : The poet says about the eagle in this poem. This is one of the masterpiece by Lord Tennyson. It clasps things very strongly. He says on the charge with the strong clasps of crooked hands. He clasps the crave with crooked hands. He sats on a height so that it seems to the poet as if he is nearer to the sun. The land is man less. He takes rounding the sky. Poet say that he sets on height on that height sea is like wrinkled. When he says on a mountain walls he saw all things with are on land. When he saw his food he come their as fast as thunderbolt and pick his food. ...

પ્રેમ કે આદત

Payar hua ikrar hua hai Pyar sai fir kyu darta hai Kahta hai dil rasta mushkil Malum nahi kaha hai manzil. આ ગીત મે ઍટલે નથી લખ્યું કે મને પ્રેમ થયો છે. સાચે કવ તો મને પ્રેમ થય જ ના શકે. પણ આજ આ ગીત સભડ્યું એટલે અમુક વિચાર આવ્યા એટલે લખ્યું. આમતો આ સોંગ જ એક ટ્રેડ માર્ક છે. જ્યારે કોઈ પણ આ સોંગ સાંભળે એટલે જો એને પ્રેમ થયો હોય તો એના પ્રેમી કે પ્રેમિકા ની યાદ આવી જ જાય. પણ હું જ્યારે પણ આ સોંગ સાંભળું ત્યારે મને સવાલ થાય કે શું પ્રેમ કરવો અને પછી એનો એકરાર કરવો સરળ હોતો હશે ? અને જો ખબર જ છે કે આ બધી વસ્તુઓ ખુબ અઘરી છે તો લોકો આમાં ફસાતા કેમ હસે ? પછી આગળ સોંગ માં એવું કે છે, કે જો પ્રિય પાત્રો નો સાથ છૂટી જશે તો ચાંદ નહિ ચમકે. એવું થોડી હોય કોઈ એક વ્યક્તિ ના આપડા જીવન માંથી જતા રેહવાથી કઈ આટલો બધો ફરક થોડી પડતો હશે. મારા મતે જોવા જાવ તો આ બધી એક આદત ની વાત છે. તમને કોઈ ના હસવાની, કોઈના બોલવાની, કોઈની ચિંતા કરવાની આદત પડી ગઈ હોય અને અમુક કિસ્સામાં કોઈના ઝગાડવાની પણ આદત પડી જતી હોય છે. બસ આટલું જ હોય. સમય ની સાથે આપડે આપના રૂટીન માં ગોઢવાત જઈએ અને બધું ભૂલ...
