Death at Funeral

It was the funeral party of Aaron and Ryan’s father. Aaron (Chris Rock) is an established tax accountant living with his parent and is the care taker of the family while younger Ryan (Martin Lawrence) is a celebrated author. It was meant to be a solemn ceremony and was about to be so, when both brothers came to know their father’s sexual inclination, and that he was gay.

This is a strange sequence to be discovered about a person’s life leading to reinterpretation of the character, which is not of any use anymore. The mother, Cynthia was the only person to get affected by such a twist to the story of her husband, behaves funny as well considering the age at which the twist has been discovered.

The philosophical edge is that the dead soul died another time, and perhaps for good, as the departed soul was proven to be an unworthy one to be grieved for. A fact turns the table on a dead person, who is not there to defend himself anymore.



Westward the women

It is a funny story of a ranchman hiring about 100 women to wives to his men at the ranch. He did not care of their background as long as they agreed to take the journey westward with him. Along with his secretary, he had 15 men hired to escort the whole caravan. While on travel, they were encountered by the men of their pasts, the tribals who did not understand such a mission and felt threatened by such a group for such a purpose, in an inexplicable manner.

They did complete the journey although many killed on the way, and many defected from the team, because they were engaged to each other and did not have any fascination to be at the ranch in future. At the end of the journey, the master rancher had died himself, leaving the left over group to the care of his secretary, who was not as rigid in his outlook as the master.

This gives some kind of human freedom, caused due to a strange dream conceived by a ranchman, as many got the freedom to chose their own lives away from which they were earlier leading and had no clue to get away from it.


24 hours in London (2000)

Violence starts when the gang leader of London streets, Christian (Gary Olsen) wants to kill Martha, who was witness to one of his murder. Martha is the niece of Miss Lloyd, (counter part to Christian). Miss Lloyd and Christian are trying to forge a partnership while each one would wipe out the other at the first opportunity.

Christian is manipulative and has the top lawyers and detectives in his payroll. However, Miss Lloyd appears to be more powerful in the end, because her mission and the Government’s mission appear to be at the same side. The story deals with the usual criminal story highlighting some of the irony of human minds; as to why we tolerate such mindsets and have no clues about them if those are happening under our nose.

May be it is the dichotomy of the civilization and our time, that does not level a crime to be so till it is proven, although it lives as common knowledge. The story does not give us any insight for better behavior but the irony is palpable.



Losing it (1983)

It is a story about four teenager friends who are set on losing their virginity along with a woman who accompanies them to have a divorce. While the plot does not struggle to prevent the boys from achieving their target they have set themselves for, it shows few points as to what leads the young brains go for something which they are not yet matured for.

This is an irony. It feels as if each of us desires something without giving ourselves enough time to deserve it. While sex is going to be everyday affair once they attain a particular stage, it is called a nuisance away from the set priority at the tender teen age.

Is it worthwhile to show rebel with such fanaticism?


Umberto D." (1952).

Umberto D (Carlo Battisti) is a retired pensioner who lives with his dog Flick, and is in serious financial difficulties to pay his rent, and almost about to beg but prefers death to it.

It is the ultimate of a person comes to, in the face of utter helplessness and there is no way he can be helped. He is alone. Is loneliness enough reason to justify indignity being caused to him? He senses that his dog would be a frustrated soul if he is gone from his life and when he decides to die, he is holding his dog in his arms. The enchantment of the moment is so huge, that the coming disaster can not distract neither the human being nor the dog.

What is it that we create for ourselves? What are we waiting to do? What is the revenge and against whom? The struggle is so huge that nothing else can be meaningful. Yet, the trivialities hold away all through our lives.

The tyrannical land lady of Umberto achieved nothing much except a room. Yet, the audience is jealous of the dignity of Umberto.


Michael Skinner (Leo Gregory) is into a human trafficking deal. He gets into big time ganging from an ordinary gangster. As the business grows, his power grows. And irrespective of the end and the means, he wonders how far still he can go.

Is there a scare? May be Michael has conquered the reasons which would have scared him. There is a tactics to everything. Crime is just a fine line opposite of good citizenship, and he maintains it at that. Manipulation is rampant, and the society condemns the body trafficking alone.

While it is too dangerous to argue, there is no punishment for being nice and appear to be clean. There are few who venture to examine at this level, and everything goes fine for the criminal, who made a choice to be so, and not by intention.






What is educational psychology?

Educational Psychology deals with the way a child/learner responds to educational environment like that in a school and the methods of teaching. The methods are based on certain assumptions which are psychological in nature. The rate of development of cognitive and reasoning abilities is an indicator of intelligence so far. Other factors considered are the motivational factors and morality. However, nowadays learners are behaving differently due to media exposure and technical advancement around which has proven many assumptions wrong. Educational psychology is always evolving and encompasses many environmental factors including learning deficiencies and disabilities. A learner is always not essentially a child. An adult learner may also display traits of that of a child.
