Final Presentation Proposal: Pan's Labyrinth and Cinderalla

Pan's Labyrinth and Cinderella have many similarities that I would like to explore further. Pan's Labyrinth is a story about a young girl who moves with her mother to her new husbands house where he treats her like an inconvenience  and her mother dies leaving her at the mercy of her step-father that does not want to be bothered by her.

In Cinderella a young girl is left with her step-mother who does not care for her and treats her poorly after her fathers death. In both movies the young girls are supposed to complete tasks in order to overcome their lives with their evil step-parents.

Interesting Use of Music

A movie that has an interesting use of music is in the opening scene of Zodiac when the couple is flirting in the car. I think this is an interesting use of music becuase it is a haunting rock song that sets the tone for the scene when the couple realizes that they were being followed. It helps to transition the scene from being fun and light hearted to a more sinister tone.

Water

The movie Water gives the audience an insight into the injustice that widowed women face in India. I would have never thought that just because a women's husband died that a women would have to go live in an Ashram and shave her head as well as not have ties with her family anymore. The movie also gave insight into how water is very important and sacred to the people of India. It is used for so many different things in India including cleansing, becoming pure, a place where bodies are placed when people die, and also used as a holy substance when the old women was dying.
