Topic for paper
December 12, 2006My topic comes from a deep look at each of the films. The films each show the aftermath of a key decision. The decision to create a world around your own mother so that she did not have a stroke, the decision to flee Germany and live in Africa, the decision to leave your work and pursue a beautiful woman, the decision to dig up an old and hidden secret, and the decision to become a prostitute so that your family can eat. All of these decisions created specific consequences that developed over time. With each decision, things either got better or worse, and over time it switched. The decision for Alex to lie to his mother seemed good at first, but over time got harder and hurt the family. This switch is interesting in German films.I will also be analyzing American films to see if it is humanistic to make choices based on tomorrow or the distant future. It is crucial to find out how our decisions will effect our lives.
