The movie started out with a story placed in Afghanistan. It
was about the two children; Hassan, the servant’s child and Amir, the son of
the master. Hassan is shown to be an extremely loyal and strong minded person. In
fact, his loyalty was so strong loyal and strong that he would do almost
anything for his friend Amir, even going as far as t saving him from bullies
almost all the time. Amir on the other hand, Amir is a timid, soft natured and
cowardly child who shies away from confrontation.
The story is about how the two ones get separated, due to a
brutal violence committed by a trio of boys on Hassan. This one scene is used
as a very strong portrayal of how the world works and how violent the people
living in it truly are.
By the end of the movie, due to harsh circumstances, Amir is
shown to have changed completely and also ended up being able to stand up for
himself and not shying away from confrontation no matter how ugly it got.
This was one of the most beautiful and tragically haunting films
I have ever seen. This film is definitely not the kind that I could just watch
and forget. But due to the course that I am currently taking, I got a new perspective
of looking at and observing things which have greater meaning rather than just
the parts for show.
Throughout the story I could interpret the meaning and the
way design has been used by man to turn around the changes they are not
comfortable with, but I could also see how some designs affected adversely on
to a fraction of the people living there and how they didn’t really have any but
to go along with that particular design. So what I came up with was a statement
or an ideology of design and its connection to the body.
A design should be such that it binds the body and takes
into account the needs of all the organs comprising of the body .The body here
is referred to all the aspects of the design, therefore the design shown in
this film was the violence created in the society and the body was the people
who were affected by it and also included the people who were the cause of that
brutality.
After watching the film it was really hard and confusing to
relate it with design, partly it was also due to our facilitator filling our
minds with deep thoughts and confusing us about the connection even more but
then eventually I did get the connection. I had to watch the film twice to
really understand it though. All in all, that session was one great session and
not only did I have fun but I also got various new and different insights about
my course subject.
