These are the stars Brad Pitt, Cate Blanchett, Rinko Kikuchi, Adriana Barraza, Koji Yakusho and Gael Garcia Bernal. He received the Golden Globe Award for Best Movie - Drama. He was nominated for an Oscar, including Best Picture and Best Director, and won one for the best original score. This paper attempts to explore the challenges that the United States is facing today, and states that they do this by analyzing this film.
Produced in 2006 and starring Brad Pitt. The film begins with the desert in Morocco. The country is a Muslim country; it is therefore not surprising that most visitors to the film begin to view it as fake Islam. In fact, if you look at a film in this way, the film has so much to arouse prejudice against a Muslim guest, as I saw in my friends and classmates. The film can be read in bits of different levels of meaning. This is one of the powerful points of production that can potentially be read by different people with different experiences and makes sense for all of them. it depends, however, on the intention of the manufacturer, as to who the real audience of production is. As a graduate student, I will try to reproduce the film because it is read by an academic and preventative part of the audience, perhaps with undeniable differences between people in different countries and in relation to the problem that the United States is facing at this time.
The film begins with a desert scene in Morocco, a Muslim country. The remoteness of the area is well depicted with appropriate movies and excellent film music. A bus crossing the road next to the orchard, in which the children of two young Arab Muslims are caring for their sheep, and on which frivolous young people shoot, tells the story of the American tourist scene. house. It contains both American and Mexican contexts, since the nanny of children living in their home is a Mexican woman who was in the United States as an illegal immigrant. Then he makes another transition to the Japanese atmosphere. There, in the Far East, the Japanese are shown far from the world. Girls playing volleyball show a happier sense until the story changes, and a young, rebellious girl emphasizes herself in protesting against the game referee. Scenes that have waved so far seem difficult to correlate with each other. But little by little it turns out how much they are woven and how different parts of the world are influenced by the concept of what is called modernity. This is the moment when the film is interpreted as a container of American challenges in the new era. (The film was released in 2006).
Modernity
There is no doubt that America has become a stone of modern times. Baudrillard.J in his America explains this idea very attractively. It displays contemporary elements in the United States, which are symbols of modernity and modernity. : In his America, Jean Badrillard.J recommends readers who really want to get to know America, to go there and see its highways. For him, the highways in America are symbolic of his whole being. This is a modern sense of communication (compared to its postmodern). They show a desire to embrace endless deserts and terrain. & # 39; & # 39; America is the original version of modernity. We are dubbed or subtitled. America is addressing the question of origin; he does not cultivate any origin or mythical authenticity; he has no past and no truth ... he has no primordial territory. ... [Yet] America has no problem with identification. In the future, power will belong to those peoples who have no origin and no authenticity, who know how to fully exploit this situation. ”(Baudrillard.J, 1986). The search for power may be the best excuse for American politicians in the field of modernizing the world and exploitation, while at the same time it is a merit of America and modernity. In the film, the trace of modernity is searchable in accordance with its historical development in the world. The rifle with which an Arab boy shoots an American woman is the production of modern culture, politics and industry, which was introduced through the Japanese, the pioneers of modernity in the Asian context and in Orient. It is the guilt and frivolity of modern feelings that are revealed in the film in the best way, and so that the dangerous and selfish side of the issue is understood by the American audience, the pistol is closed on one of them, on the other hand, it is the Americans who accuse every member and terrorist house of terror and terrorize American citizens of the world. He makes a bitter humorous irony to pursue the trail of terror to America, the main country that has always blamed others for its production.
In his other book, Democracy in America, he further explains the situation, creating a position for the United States and Russia separately from other countries. It looks like a story like spring; the more the history of people is stretched, the more intense and tired than people, and the more they need rest. On the other hand, the shorter she is, the more energetic and potential her people are to move and climb the moon; hence the idea of a restless nation.
& # 39; & # 39; is he [America] was one of the first to recognize technology as a place of higher education. & # 39; & # 39; The passion for the gadget is manifested in the invention of cotton gin, telegraph, telephone, steamboat, Internet, hydrogen bomb and many others. Compared to the conventions made by all other countries, in the aggregate you can realize the greater share that America has in this regard.
One of the concepts that are created along with the American manifest fate and the duty to convert savages to Christianity is the idea to relate them to their own codes of morality and civilization. Everything, like the negros who could not adapt this civilization, or how the Indians who resisted against it, were sentenced to barbarism and useless for the whole world. (De Tocqueville. A) That is why they, whites, so easily coped to upset everything that was deformed by their own norms. If you look at the story, you will see several examples of this sense of duty of Americans towards others. The most famous sermon in American history is the propaganda of this ideology (a city on a hill). Monroe’s doctrine of non-intervention also protects the American privilege of helping other nations, while no one can interfere with them. And down to Franklin Delano Roosevelt. “Good Neighborhood Policy” is a “playing good” approach that tells the same story as all the presidents of the United States. Thus, the entire American foreign policy and its general policy, here and there, directed their attempts to cope with this problem. To be the world's police, sending missionaries to the Far East, to Vietnam, to Korea, the Persian Gulf, to Kuwait, Afghanistan and Iraq, all are indications of an attempt to civilize the world and play self-determination, a developed lifestyle at every breadth of the world. This is a process known as standardization. This is part of American destiny, and it is very interesting that she was there for the life of American identity. In the confrontation with communism, during the terrorist period and the public panic, known as McCarthyism, propaganda against the Soviet Union and communism was that: in fact, communism is not a political party. This is a way of life, an evil way of life. This creates a disease that spreads epidemics. In order to prevent people from becoming infected, it must be quarantined. ”(Isaac and Downing, 1998) shows that the United States tried to communicate with the world, this is a particular way of life, of course, the American way of life compared to any other replica. Muslim fundamentalists and jihadists, Muslims who are agents of some suicide bombings, are Muslims who have been introduced to modern culture and industry in Europe or in the European colonies. The choice of attack and terror of Western culture arises from this devilish acquaintance and the lack of their agreement a healthy and true ideology. This is an identity issue for them. It discusses that Muslims in Western culture face a dilemma. Although they cannot give up their own Islamic culture and traditions and accept a new one, they are alienated from their own and remain there high and dry.
Japanese girls are the other victims of this vicious cycle. Japanese girls playing volleyball on the first stage in Japan seem to enjoy a rather good life and situation than the Arab boys. There seems to be no reason for their participation in problematic international terrorism. But he sees that the hierarchy of the honorable modernity is conducted on the contrary, to test terrorism. That is, after America distinguishes the source of modernity, therefore, terrorism, second-class countries in the degree and turn of adoption of the modern lifestyle should be analyzed regarding their role in shaking human rights by what is called terrorism. Japan was the first Asian country that received a sign of courage in dealing with the Western way of life. This is modernity. In the first and second world wars, Japan enjoyed a good military situation, and the only reason they entered the war was this. Because, as you know, the economic and cultural conditions of this country were very weak after the glow of the last empire. After World War II, it was the only country that suffered the great destruction of a nuclear explosion by the US military!
After the war, the country flourished from the ashes of the late generation. and switch to high technology, comparable to Western modern. But it is foolish to see this continuing rise, only as a result of Japanese labor. The country's politicians correctly understood the double situation of the nation in this historical period. Thus, it turned its policies into successful countries of that time, which are Western countries, especially the most successful of which are the United States. Only in rare policy issues, for example, the questions of the gasification of green houses and the official meeting devoted to peace for all, etc., the Country has retained its autonomy. Therefore, it is obvious that Japan followed the policy dictated to it by America, to support its economic development among other Asian countries.
What about culture in Japan? The Western version of Japanese culture soon broke his tyranny in the country. Among the many revelations of this Western cultural hegemony, sex holds a special place. In fact, this is a characteristic feature of the floor, which lays down its own path in modern areas. The difficult situation, the alienation that occurred with the Arab boys, is manifested here more clearly. The poor girl, who is deaf and recently lost her mother, wants more affection and attention from her father, but does not receive her due to the fact that her father is a successful and busy businessman. In an attempt to satisfy this emotional need, she finds her sex as a means of attracting other people. Attention. This is what happens in all such situations, when the order of life is replaced by chaos and debilization.
The film is trying to show the hidden collapse of culture in a country that claims to have the best educational, economic, and human condition, at least in Asia. The active panorama of cities in this film hides reality. At the end of the film, viewers admit that the father has gone bankrupt and is being sought by the police. Even the economic condition of Japan in shackles, studying it. And the same person - the person who gave the rifle to the Moroccan guide, and not thanks to his salary for sending them as tourists to Morocco. The symbol plays its role here to link the role of Japan in representing Western hegemony, culture and industry in third world countries such as Morocco.
What is the problem that Western countries do not face such a problem with each other, but do they have it in the third world countries? The answer can be given in two parts; 1) whenever modernity is inadequate, inappropriate and inappropriate for other parts of the world (remember standardization and clear destiny), 2) or in the west, the United States is trying to turn evil terrorists from any country except itself and its allies. In the film, you see that the boy is unjustly shooting at the bus and quite by chance, he hits the most pessimistic person there. This is not a deliberate and deliberately terrorist act, despite Western propaganda. However, the fact is that some Americans were injured by an Arab Muslim. Chasing this problem is useful for many reasons. It seems that the wrong introduction of modern man is the best alternative. The bus and the pistol are the only two symbols of modernity in this remoteness, and only two that produce, perhaps better say, reproduce the history of the problem, the myth that the East is the cradle of evil and horror. Yes, in this sense, modernity, which interferes with everyday life, culture and religion of every breadth of the Universe, would cause some kind of problem, for example, terrorism or the wrath of alienation, it does not matter. The important point is who is the source of evil? (Recall the question of alienation and intruders).
The Mexican context is another context related to the theme of a Mexican nanny for an American family whose parents take a tour of Morocco whose mother is shot.
Two children from the family go to the Mexican border town without the consent and confirmation of their parents to the wedding ceremony of the son of a nanny. The scenes depicted in Mexico in the film show the poor state of the country, economically and culturally. Here I would be grateful for the idea of those who are disgusting about the film, because it sees that it is pursuing other national cultures. It is symbolic that the film set the desires and behavior of ordinary Mexicans, in parallel with the behavior and desires of American children. One scene appears, in which is depicted the niece of the nanny, who is preoccupied with youth, beheading the chicken in front of the children and causing their hatred and horror. The house tuning scene shows the humility and, therefore, the concern of the niece towards the American police officers who are asking for his certificates. The arrogant and rebellious reaction of a young Mexican is given to them as a result of this action of hegemony. It presents the problem of the Mexican-American border and the problem of illegal immigrants of Mexico in the United States. Recently, the United States began its plan to retreat Mexican illegal immigrants from the United States and established a more serious boundary between them. Mexico and the United States have an older common history and affinity than any other country and the United States. The exploitation of Mexican soil, a young colonizer, the United States, began with the beginning of an American settlement in new areas that are expansion plans. The exploitation of the neighboring country, a century ago and continuing, created a messy situation for the United States.
The rebellious nature of colonized and usurped shows itself to be dangerous here when the usurped graph is in the ears of the colonizer. It may be that the United States seems to have hegemony over its neighbor, but the reality is that it suffers from the daily growing problems in Mexico. Children of American tourists in morocco stay at home in the hope of protecting a Mexican nanny, and this happens when they wander through the deserts rather than at home. This is because of the old beginnings of immigration and settlement problems in a developed country and enjoys the smallest advantages that it provides to immigrants of a different race. This is a condition that you can ask about the resource and the reason. Are they not looking for what they lost and that were stolen by their young neighboring country? Mexicans are among those cultures that have denied a new culture in the west. This is because of their laziness or prejudice, they denied and, having lost the game, defeating new volunteers militarily, this country sank and lost its identity.
As far as he reads from the context of the film, it is fair or unreasonable to blame him for being a phobic piece of Islam. It deals with issues of the day in different countries and how these countries, accordingly, have adopted it in accordance with their main national and cultural factors. In Morocco, it manifests itself as ignorance of international issues. Мальчик, который стреляет в автобус, не знает проблемного состояния своей страны, и контакты с марокко в этой точке истории с объединенным государством. Не только мальчик, его родители и другие взрослые этого отдаленного региона тоже не знают об этом. В отличие от обычного и обычного понимания большинства западных жителей и даже некоторых мусульман, и, как ранее упоминалось у Валлерстайна, чем более далекими мусульмане или чем больше они являются баррелями, тем меньше мотивации они будут оказывать на западные культуры. Возможно, у марокканского правительства могут быть проблемы с Соединенными Штатами на международном или региональном уровне, но неосознанность его варварских людей до сих пор не доходит до этого, чтобы бороться с этим я партизанским путем. История еще более смешна, когда вы видите, что марокканский полицейский способ лечения со своими гражданами.
В Японии структура семьи уворачивается из-за оценочной экономической деятельности. При таких обстоятельствах формирование молодежной культуры после западного светского было легче заключено. Даже сама экономика - это не то, чем она должна быть. Это из-за того плохо адаптированного современности, что означает дар Запада.
Однако в Мексике страдание людей заставляет их незаконно мигрировать в Соединенные Штаты и производить такие проблемы для этой страны, не решая ничего из своего собственного.
Во всех случаях, каждый из которых обобщается на множество других стран, эквивалентных ситуации, проблема, независимо от того, что она несет на плечах этих стран (в основном это чисто проблема, а не для них), прямо его продюсером. Источником современности являются Соединенные Штаты. Возможно, если бы не попытки единого государства стандартизировать другие регионы в соответствии с его собственными нормами современности, современность не была порочной в природе.
