#Film_Screening of #The_Scarlet_Letter by Heenaba Zala

On 16th July 2019,film screening of 'The Scarlet Letter' was organised by Heenaba Zala. The Scarlet Letter novel is written by Nathaniel Hawthorne. The Scarlet Letter is a 1995 American romantic drama film. It was directed by Roland Joffe and stars Demi Moore, Gary Oldman, and Robert Duvall.
During watched the movie, I noted some points. The movie is near to the #natural_elements. Location wise the movie is very good. In this movie we can find that people farming. Hester the protagonist of the novel or movie is shown as a #strong_woman. We can find the #patriarchal_society in this movie. There was a scene of #red_bird. It is signified the symbolism. The #slavery_system is also shown in the movie. The movie also indicate the books of #John_Milton. It is clearly indicate that the age is #puritan_age. When I watch the movie I can see the same hair styles and clothes of women and they are looked like a #Nun. And when the camera is focuse on main characters on the background we can see the childrens played behind them. In the movie, there was a scene in which Dimmesdale told about #Bible_Translation. And also we can see the #festival in the movie. And the people used #drum for shaming Hester for her sin. There was a scene in which women were doing #knitting_work. We can see the #pussasive_nature of #Chillingworth. And he end of the movie is happy.
But the whole movie is not went with novel. Because some scenes and dialogues are different from the novel in the movie. The #end of the movie is different from the novel. At last we can interpret it that the movie is failed because the people likes just to watch the movie. It has a #typical_end.
After watching the movie we can interpret that the movie based on novels are not the same as the novel.
Then ma'am gave opportunity to keep our points and arguments against the movie. Because of this opportunities we can improve our critical thinking skills.
I want to say thanks to #Heenabazala. And also thanks to our head Dr. Dilip Barad sir who gave the all types of  opportunities and freedom to good use of digital platform.

The Alchemist - book review

આ ક્વોરનટાઇન વેકેશન મા જો કઈ આત્મસંતોષ મળે એવુ વાંચન કયુઁ હોય તો એ છે The Alchemist by Paulo Coelho. આજ સુધી માત્ર મેં Paulo Coelho ની વાતો જ સાંભળેલી હતી પરંતુ આજે સ્વયં વાંચીને તેને અનુભવ્યું પણ. The Alchemist નવલક્થા એ સૌથી શ્રેષ્ઠ નવલક્થા માની એક નવલ કથા છે. જેનું 67 ભાષા મા અનુવાદ થયેલું છે અને 10 કરોડ થી પણ વધારે પ્રતો નું વેચાણ થયેલું છે. નવલ કથા ના ફ્રન્ટ પેજ પર એક ખૂબ સરસ વાકય લખ્યું છે : "જયારે આપણે કંઈક મેળવવાની ઈચ્છા મન થી કરીએ છીએ ત્યારે દુનિયા ની સમગ્ર શક્તિ આપણી મદદે આવે છે ". આ નવલક્થા મા ઘણા સંઘર્ષ બતાવા મા આવ્યા છે જે અમુક લોકો વચ્ચે ના પણ હતા અને પોતાની જાત સાથે ના પણ હતા. પોતાના હૃદય એટલે કે મન ને કેવી રીતે કાબુમાં લેવું એની વાત છે. ગુજરાતી કેહવત છે કે :"મન હોય તો માળવે જવાય " એમજ જો મન થી મક્કમ હોય તો કોઈ પણ કામ સફળતા પૂર્વક પૂર્ણ કરી શકાય. અને ધ્યેય ની પ્રાપ્તિ કરી શકાય. અને આ વાત ને ખૂબ જ સારી રીતે બતાવામાં આવિ છે આ નવલક્થા મા. આધ્યાત્મિકતા ની ઝલક દેખાય આવે છે અને સાથે સાથે દ્રઢ શ્રદ્ધા અને શુકનો ની પણ વાતો કરવામાં આવિ છે....
