![]() ![]() if you like The Handmaiden, take a look below for Dr. Kelly Jeong, a professor and scholar of Korean Studies and Comparative Literature at UC Riverside. We are thrilled to be joined on this episode of East Asia for All by Dr. As part of a larger genre of Korean films set in the period of imperial Japanese rule, The Handmaiden also reflects the complicated relationship of South Korea to remembrances of its colonial past. The Handmaiden is full of surprises and unexpected turns, a beautiful attention to color, texture, and light, as well as a thoughtful reflection of complex colonial relations.īut what can we learn about historical colonial Korea through The Handmaiden, a fictional story which was inspired by a novel set in a world thousands of miles away? Park does a masterful job showing his characters navigating the colonial hierarchy through the use of color-coded subtitles (white for Korean language, yellow for Japanese), characters’ linguistic and sartorial choices, and the development of Sook-hee, Lady Hideko, and others. ![]() As the film progresses, the plot thickens, and few characters are who they seem to be. Like Waters’ original novel, the film follows two women - a mistress and her maid - as they fall in love, despite the fact that the young maid (Sook-hee) is actually a pickpocket in cahoots with a con man attempting to swindle the mistress (Lady Hideko) of her fortune. The Handmaiden, while not comparable to Park’s other works in many ways, does include graphic scenes, including those of a violent and sexual nature. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() To Maddie's alternate delight and chagrin, she seems to be falling for the inn's owner-a man who's likely many years her senior-and who she's never even met.Īrthur Tyler is a college professor who lost his young wife to cancer.

For example, in front of the French National Assembly in November 2001, Prime Minister Lionel Jospin declared: “If France participates in this conflict, it is not against Afghanistan, but instead because the United States have suffered attacks of a rare violence and, as an ally, France has to side with the Americans.” On several occasions, French politicians declared that they would support the United States, as a matter of solidarity. ![]() President Jacques Chirac was the first leader to meet with President George W. The French daily Le Monde ran the headline “ We are all Americans” on the day after the attacks. Jean Michelin, Jonquille Afghanistan, 2012 (Gallimard, 2017)įollowing the 9/11 attacks, France quickly expressed its support to the United States. ![]() ![]() ![]() Nonetheless, the dialogue is impressive by itself because of its literary value. The degree in which it reflects the real event is debatable, but the trial must have had many witnesses (with Plato most probably being one of them), who could help establish the accurate version of all three speeches. It describes the famous trial of Socrates, performed in Athens after he was accused of blasphemy and corruption of youth. One of Plato's dialogues, the Apology (like all works by Plato) takes place in Greece in the 5th century BC, being written a little bit later. What do the slanderers say? (.) 'Socrates is an evil-doer, and a curious person, who searches into things under the earth and in heaven, and he makes the worse appear the better cause and he teaches the aforesaid doctrines to others.'"

"Industry-wide we all know we need to do much more. "I think the BBC do quite a good job of diversity it is not enough," she said. She added that she is also keen to tackle the issue of diversity. The breadth is there but it is important we go on looking for new stories and new ways of telling stories". "I think more women protagonists would be great. "I've been speaking with other executives about more women," she said, speaking at the Guardian Edinburgh International TV Festival. Moore, who is just weeks into her new role as controller of BBC1, said that she would like to see more women on the channel, as well as more diversity in general. Hollywood heavyweight Hoffman will play the role of Mr Hoppy, a retired bachelor who has a secret passion for his neighbour Mrs Silver, played by Dench.

As a girl who cried when she read a sad story but also punched a boy in the face when he grabbed the zipper of my jumper, Wonder Woman was an idol I needed. She was kind, empathetic, powerful and ferocious, two sides of the coin in a time when girls are taught they can be feminine or ferocious, but never both. I was inspired by characters like Hermione Granger, but Wonder Woman always represented a dual side of feminity that I rarely saw. And my favorite comic book character was Wonder Woman. Growing up, my days were spent immersed in books and comic books. ![]() ![]() ![]() we wearin' Chucks, not Ballys ( Yeah, that's right) Dressed in Locs and Khaki suits, and ride is what we do Flossin' but have caution: we collide with other crews Famous because we throw grams Worldwide, let them recognize from Long Beach to Rosecrans Bumpin' and grindin' like a slow jam It's Westside, so you know the Row won't bow down to no man Say what you say, but give me that bomb beat from Dre Let me serenade the streets of L.
