 Quote 1

You know you are truly alive when you’re living among lions.

                                                                                                     – Out of Africa

I like this movie very much. One reason I like it is that my one of my favorite writers likes it.

The main character,Karen, is a wealthy Danish women. When she is young , in order to have a noble title she married a man she doesn’t love. And she has to go to Africa with her husband. Things unfold when her husband begins cheating on her and is away on business often. She runs a farm but a fire destroyed it. She was bankrupt. She manage to divorce with her husband.

She eventually falls in love with Denys and goes on safari with him. on that journey, they encounter lions, but they kill the lion and survive from the predators. Unfortunately,  her lover dies in a crash in his private plan.

At the beginning, she does not like everything in the Africa. Gradually,she’s gained a much better understanding and respect for the African culture. Her farm and lover gone, her life in Africa is over. As a woman, she suffers a lot in Africa. The the difficulties in her life are just like the lions that makes her aware that she is alive.

The lion on her eyes mean Karen is facing them. The head of the women surrounded by  blooming  flowers which imply that Karen positivity and strength in her personality. Though she has gone through a lot of misfortune she  still remain herself

 

Quote 2

Eat, drink, man, woman. Basic human desires. Can’t avoid them.

                                                                                     -Eat, drink, man, woman

The film is directed by a Taiwanese Ang Lee. The story is about a father and his three daughters. By telling the story of this family, the film shows the conflict between the conventional ethtic and  instinctive desires. Because some of the desires of the character is being repressed for a long time. The movie also reveals the complicated relationship between two generations.

Orexis and erotism is human being’s instinct. Everyone has it. Instead forbidding in the conventional way, we should envisage them. But we can not abuse them either. So the human being must learn to balance them. That’s why I put the a “yin and Yang” as the background in the composition. The food , man women are in a balancing form.

Quote 3

Freedom, the fatuous jingle of our civilization. But only those of us deprived of it have an inkling of what it really is.

-Cloud Atlas

Liberty, when it is taken away, you will realize the value of it. I use chains to represent vicious power which is intentional to lock up the liberty.  The hand on the top is people who want to regain the freedom. It is the most concise and powerful design.

Quote 4

Because, believing in everything at once is the same thing as believing in nothing.

                                                                                                                                      -Life of PI

I design Pi as half tiger and half human. That means the wild side is always a part if human,no one can take away it,yet Pi can control and accept the it. As for the background ,I change is to a galaxy image. The reason is that there is a scene in the movie, (as shown below). It is at that moment,Pi understand the meaning of tiger. And he farewell to the past.
