| A room with a view |
The movie “A room with a view” is a film from the
1985, that among other things it is most of all a criticism of the woman
oppression by that time in England. In one part of the movie, the main
character, miss Lucy Honeychurch, makes a trip to Italy with her older cousin
and during this trip there are some events that caught my attention because I
could relate them to our discussions in class.
First of all, during the whole trip, Lucy and her
cousin, kept surprising themselves everyday because there were too many things
that they always though that were some way and by being there they could
perceive how different it was from what they imagined. During the class and
during the presentations we gave about how is Puerto Rico perceived in the web,
some groups mentioned and discussed why it is important not to believe
everything you hear about someplace, but to experience it yourself for it to be
a real experience and by that you could decide your own opinion about that
country. This is because not everyone perceive what is around them in the same
way; for example, maybe something that impacted so much Lucy was the man that
was wounded in the middle of the street while she was trying to have some fun.
Also, I could noticed that the fact of being in
another country than theirs, make them feel a bigger level of libertinage and I
could perceive that because in one of the parts a woman says to the other that two
women in an unknown place was like an adventure. By saying this, I could see
that they were as most tourists; when they go to some place, they just wanted
to live an adventure and to have fun and sometimes don’t care about nothing
else.
