I could start it off writing about how, since beginning of human time, women have been treated like something with less value but just doesn't feel authentic enough. Instead, I prefer spending time marveling at the greatness that women are and their common stories of great achievements. First of all, I'll just leave the equality argument with the thought that if it wasn't for women we wouldn't be who we are as people without mentioning our gift of living in the world. Here I hope to give my insight after going through the movie "A Room With a View" and the different topics that it briefly covers while not giving away the main one. Its covers goes from cultural aspects all the way to giving a different insight inside an unconventional love story.
Here we face the story of Lucy while living she lives at older times in Florence and battles through without surrendering to what's acceptable by the society. Through many encounters we can get to see just how really she is and what is going on inside her head. Quickly, I found it intriguing how she differed greatly with the ladies that were staying with her at the place which gave away for me that she was going to be a round character. From the assassination in Florence to the meeting the "good man" we saw glimpses of how she still was a bit like them too. Playing the piano was her way to express her disagreement with the world which was the correct thing to do in my mind because keep her away from trouble. This is a journey for Lucy, she grew greatly in demeanor and she let go of the chains sustained by society for example when she realized she didn't want to get married to her first fiancee. She found out things about herself that not even herself knew therefore leading to finding out that her feelings for George were true and real. I guess we can say is a great example of over coming adversity not entirely but actually following what makes you happy.
In the movie there are some social prejudices marked greatly. Makes me think of how strong people have to be sometimes to actually achieve what makes them happy and still we stand here waiting for it to fall out of the sky. Learning and understanding is what every human being should do because that is what gives us the capacity to not be ignorant and actually realize how we all have a meaning in life so we should make the most of it.
I like your point of view on the movie, how instead of talking about how women were treated inferior to men you described the woman who stood up against those regulations.
ReplyDeleteA great analysis! One must not conform to the ideas of other; instead, one should go on the pursuit of happiness, which is an undeniable right.

ReplyDeleteI think you're right on how we all have a meaning in life and how we should follow our happiness. We should all be doing it but sometimes don't even know what that is.
ReplyDeleteYour post made me reflect that when people have it more difficult they have nothing else but their strength, while other people that may have a little more don't know how to actually fight for what they want.
