1) Relate what was discussed in class or the text to the screening.
Jacob dedicates his life to helping street children in India, and when the orphanage he runs may be closed, he receives an interesting offer. A businessman will give him millions of dollars to return to Denmark and take part in the wedding of the man's daughter. This is a major dramatic turning point in his life.
2) Find a related article and summarize the content.
http://www.nytimes.com/2007/03/30/movies/30wedd.htmlThis film focuses on family secrets, the genuine struggles of the rich, and the desperate orphan children in India. From the opening scene in India where poverty stricken children are pushing and shoving each other to grab bowls of rice being distributed from the back of the truck to the closing dramatic scene at an orphanage in Bombay, this drama zeroes in on the many different shades of compassion in a world filled with suffering, loss, and surprise.
3) Apply the article to the film screened in class.
This article pointed out parts of the film that I would not have recognized only watching it once. There is significant meaning to the child in india and showing the difference in class. You get a taste of the rich and the poor poverty stricken. You see how the child would rather stay there with his friends and is happy with just a ball and a outfit. It is very heart wrenching, also touching to see how rich people can take their goods for granted.
4) Write a critical analysis of the film, including your personal opinion, formed as a result of the screening, class discussions, text material and the article.
I really enjoyed this film. It made me feel emotional because, I felt compassion for the orphan child as well as the daughter who finally had her real father. Jacob got a taste of the best of both worlds. Where the truly rich can have everything and anything and still not be one hundred percent content but then on the other hand someone with nothing and knows none of that sea of wealth is more at peace. I like how we got to see the rich peoples problems and that it wasn't candy coated. It definitely broadened my insight on greed, class, secrets, compassion and love.
