Character Development
The Raw, Brutal Power Of Martyrs. Content Warning.
Horror takes many forms. There’s creature feature horror. There’s psychological horror. There’s body horror. With a genre of story telling where there are little to no rules, anything can be done. Anything can be said. And anyone can push the limits of what is too much just to the very edge. The French film Martyrs from 2008 depicts in its own way all of these subgenres but in a way that puts it in a genre all its own, and comes just close to going too far. Although some see it as going well past our perceived limits of disturbing content.

The Rape Culture
‘The Rape Culture’ might sound exaggerated but yes that's what is happening in India. You just open any newspaper or any social media and you get news in front of you about rape that happened yesterday, the day before yesterday, or any kind of data that blows your mind and makes you numb.

Women on Screen: Psychological Themes in Contemporary Indian Cinema
Cinema and film are prevalent forms of mass communication that significantly influence opinions, shape perceptions, and reinforce prevailing cultural norms. They entertain audiences globally, offering an escape from everyday life by creating an alternate reality. Additionally, cinema has the power to alter individuals' mindsets and help establish new cultural, social, and political values. Indian cinema has long been a significant part of Indian culture, impacting society and individual lives in various ways. Movies influence people's fashion choices, speech, and social behaviour, both directly and indirectly. Over time, Indian cinema has evolved from traditional mythological films to "Bollywoodized" adaptations of successful Hollywood movies. In the 1970s, Indian cinema began to adopt a more socially conscious and politically focused approach.

Mother vs Mirror
In 2015, a group of six blindfolded children ranging from the ages of three to nine years old must identify their mother from a line-up of women. Fortunately, even without their sight, every single child finds their caretaker. According to the concept of Maternal-Newborn Bonding, “The connection made after birth directly affects both the mother and child physiologically, psychologically, and emotionally,” and even influences the child’s romantic and platonic attachment styles later in life (Barker, para.2). This, combined with the experiment above, seems to prove that the Maternal-Newborn bond is indestructible. Yet, Lacan claims that this connection is already destroyed, at around six to eight months old. This essay will argue that Jessika Kenney and Eyvind Kang’s piece uses vocals and instrumentation to explore the factors that motivate the infant to separate from their mother and the consequences of that choice, prompting listeners to question whether adulthood is worth the agony.
