Epiphany

Every once and a while, usually in the most random occasions, I get a good idea. While I was watching Little Angel, Make Me Happy, this semester's last film, I finally figured out what I want to write my final paper on (better late then never lol). Being a history major, I wanted to write on something I'm particulary knowledgable about. Noticing the many similarities between Little Angel and You are Not an Orphan, I've decided to write about the before and after of World War II. Namely, I will be writing about the style and messages conveyed by the two films, botht he similarities and differences. I am going to show the effect of Soviet propagada on Orphan, and show how Little Angel is so much different, despite them both dealing with the same period. I know may not sound interesting but that's only because I can never contain my ideas down into such a short format (i.e. this blog). Can't wait to get this thing started! Thank God for Epiphanys!!!

  1. Sounds like a House moment. I'm glad you figured something out sounds like a good idea, I'm still struggling between two ideas. Anyways good luck.

  2. Hey it seems to be that my paper and your paper actually have alot in common. I will also be focusing on the films that have dealt with child suffering in WWII and how they had to deal with the tragedy. Its funny because I had no idea I was going to do this when we began this class but then I spoke to MR. B and he really convinced me that this may be the way to go. I wish you the best of luck.
