Rendering: week 5. "The Forgotten War" by "Telegraph View", 1st, October 2012

The article, which I’ve just read, reports at length that the war, which is in Afghanistan, has been forgotten by the commander –in-chief – Mr. Obama and his supporters. The same goes for Mitt Romney, the Republican candidate. It’s necessary to note that this time is the election period in the USA.

“Telegraph” is the newspaper which discusses the situation. It’s an open secret that American and British troops will conclude their combat operations in 2014, and hand over full responsibility to local forces. The author supposes that American political classes are suffering from a collective bout of amnesia. It sounds a bit ironic.

In conclusion the reporter suggests that if the west’s fragile gains do indeed unravel in such a fashion, neither Mr. Obama nor Mr. Roomney will be able to ignore the implication.

As for me, I agree with the article. Personally I think that all what you have done can’t be closed like a book on reading. But there is an interesting issue – usually after the reading thoughts stay in your head. In this case the situation concerning the “Forgotten War” isn’t the exception of the rule. I’m sure it’s difficult for mothers and children to put out of mind that their sons and fathers will never come back home.

The analyze of the film: "Lions for Lambs"

Lions for Lambs

Genre: Drama

Movie Type: Ensemble Film, Psychological Drama

Written by: Matthew Michael Carnahan

Directed by: Robert Redford

Release Date: November 9, 2007

Origin: USA

Main Cast: Tom Cruise, Meryl Streep, Robert Redford, Michael Pena, Derek Luke, and Andrew Garfield

Run Time: 88 minutes

MPAA Rating: R for some war violence and language

Plot:

Two determined students at a West Coast University, Arian and Ernest, follow the inspiration of their idealistic professor, Dr. Malley, and attempt to do something important with their lives. But when the two make the bold decision to join the battle in Afghanistan, Malley is both moved and distraught. Now, as Arian and Ernest fight for survival in the field, they become the string that binds together two disparate stories on opposite sides of America. In California, an anguished Dr. Malley attempts to reach a privileged but disaffected student, who is the very opposite of Arian and Ernest. Meanwhile, in Washington D.C. the charismatic Presidential hopeful, Senator Jasper Irving, is about to give a bombshell story to a probing TV journalist that may affect Arian and Ernest's fates. As arguments, memories and bullets fly, the three stories are woven ever more tightly together, revealing how each of these Americans has a profound impact on each other-and the world.

Direction:

Personally I think that Robert Radford, the director of this film, has chosen a very unusual way to tell the story. It’s something new to me when the action is put on show from different angels. I like it.

Writing:

Concerning the plot, it seems to me inventive and unpredictable. I can’t imagine what will happen next second. The words of characters seem symbolic to me, as the illustrate the idea of the film. It this case they are credible. Especially the words of professor.

Editing:

Speaking about ‘editing’ we may say that it’s not fantastic but absolutely normal. It’s that the actions on the war and the actions in offices of the chief and the professor change each other. This fact helps us to see emotions of people in this or that situation.

Costume design:

There is nothing special in them.

Set design:

It isn’t bad. If the movie was filmed in a real place this location has been well-chosen. But at the war action the picture is very dark and it’s difficult to watch the film. I suppose it’s a kind of opposition between the cabinet of the chief and the place where the soldiers are.

Background music:

We have to say, that when we are watching films we pay attention to the music too. It depends on the action, which is illustrated. So in this film I like music very much. Sometimes it helps me to prognoses to the future.

As for me I like the film, which I’ve seen. It’s impressed me greatly. It’s a very good job of actors and the director. It’s better to make such films those soap operas. To my taste. It’s an open secret for all of us, that ‘chiefs’ are Lions and the ‘soldiers’ are Lambs. But the film changes the picture. The idea, which is given in the film, that not all lambs are lambs, among them there are lions, as these two boys, who are killed.

In conclusion I’d like to say that each soldier is gold for any army, but not for the government or for that who rules the army. The war isn’t the business of the chiefs, but also ours. Because we are the main part of that who take part in it.

Summary 55-118 'The Portrait of A Lady' by Henry James

Miss Stackpole, who is the American writer, comes to England to have more materials for her work. She is a journalist. Her articles are published in the American newspaper, which is called 'the independent'. So, Miss Stackpole is going to collect any information about live in England, what usually people are interested in, what are their customs and traditions and that sort of things. By the way, she is the friend of the main character of the story - Miss Archer.
Both friends are speaking about the live in England and America. They are both Americans. For them, both these lives are different. To this agreement they come. To be more reliable in their convictions, they have to visit London.
But their plan is under discussion, because Lord Warburton has made a proposal to Miss Archer to be his wife. Isabell doesn't know what she should do. She wants to be alone. She isn't ready to be a wife of anybody. All in all Lord Warburton is a very high-voltage person in that question.
That fact doesn't give good vibes to Miss Stackpole. She prefers Miss Archer not to change herself Anglice. The writer believes that Isabell doesn't go the right way. The reason is that our heroine isn't under the influence of her Boston lover Mr. Goodwood.
That's why Miss Stackpole asks Ralph Touchett to invite Isabell's fellow to visit Touchett's house. The trick here is that in this case Isabell will come under the influence of her Boston's friend Mr. Goodwood again and can't change herself Anglice.
Miss Stackpole is interested in Lord Warburton. She wants to know more about him, but she doesn't have a chance to complete her mission. We dare say that she has feelings to him.
At the same time Ralph Touchett spends more and more time with Isabell. He rejects that she is nice to him, but it is true.
