I am writing about the Movie based on Student protest held on against Mexican Govt In Mexico City in October 1968, where a huge massacre led to killings of hundreds of people and families. The story is primarily focused on one family of mother, father, 3 sons and a daughter. The story begins as a normal day for the family where grandfather rises up , the mother is preparing breakfast and where rest of the kids are getting ready for the day. The all sit down at the breakfast table where the discussion about father and grandfather begin denying the participation of the two older sons in the protest and warns them that fighting against the Government can get extremely dangerous and so did the mother pitch in and try to tell the kids to cut their hair before they come home today , because long hair on men was seen as a rebel symbol for the student protestors.
Apart from all the warning and arguments in the family the older boys still go out there to participate in the Protest. In a few hours begins the protest, almost 10000 people were gathered around the street square in protest, and as the two younger kids watched the scene the grandfather and mother asks them to get away from the window , and suddenly they see a bullet seep through the Jesus’s picture , which instantly warns the family and they go hide under the bed in another room meanwhile the older boys return home with their wounded friends. Also while the protest was going on they lost electricity , only to discover that the power was deliberately cut off. And few sergeants came to the house to warn them about the situation and to look for hidden protestors but the family gets away with it. While the wounded protestors are still hiding in the bathroom the surrounding of the house is still a battle scene , but the family tries to stay together and safe until three govt. terrorists barges in to the house and desperately looks around and puts everyone out

    In auteur theory, a term originated by film critic Andrew Sarris in his essay, "Notes on the Auteur Theory"16, there is a desire to outline the personal vision of the director. This is said to be the key instrument to understanding filmmaking. In addition, he writes the question is how does a director express personal vision? The concern is how this theory is used to examine the initial “obsessions” and “thematic preoccupations” of the director versus the original creator or author. This essentially becomes a study or attempt to outline the director's desire and/or personal statement.…

    First of all, ‘heart-rending’, ‘helpless’, ‘alone’ and ‘chaos’ are the primary words pop up in my mind once I read the photo. The white smoke is filled in the air with many broken umbrellas fall on the crossroad. And people just run around to get rid of being attacked. It is depressed to see the protesters are under assault with no defense and any weapons. The anti-riot police, standing guard on two sides of the road, keep throwing tear gas grenades to the crowd. Even worse, there are some fire sparks drop on the road as shown in the photo. It is…
