What I learned about the movie : Ce qu'il faut pour vivre!

I learned that it is never easy to leave your family even if you are sick. You feel lonely and you have nobody to talk with because you are not from the country, you do not know the language and you cannot communicate. In this movie, we can see that the nurse try to find ways to explain and talk with the eskimo. I learned that there is always someone when you feel alone and there are many ways to express yourself even if you do not have the same language.

Gothism : Art had lost its classical influence during the Middle Ages due to the invading Goths and Germanic tribes. Gothic paintings were more darkly, mystical. Gothic style represented early Christian culture and values. The artists were using costly materials such as gold, precious stone and ivory for representation of the importance of religion. Gothism was mostly used as panel paintings, frescoes, manuscript illumination and stained glass.


Romanesque: The Romanesque term is used to cover all derivations of Roman architecture from the fall of Rome. It traditionally refers to specific style as architecture, sculpture and minors arts. This style is characterised by a massiveness of scale. Also by reflecting the greater social stability of the new Millennium. It is influenced by the Christian culture and values by the expansion of the Christianism and the Crusades. But also by the Classical and Hellenistic Greek art.

 Gothism : Famous artists were Cimabue, Duccio, Giotto and Simone Martini. A masterpiece really popular was "Christ entering Jerusalem" of Duccio and another of the first famous paintings of this period was Cimabue's "Madonna Enthroned" (1280-90)

Hijab

The Hijab

For a muslim woman, it is normal to wear the hijab. But for an other religion, it is unusal. In my opinion, I think it is ok because it is their choice to wear it, or almost. Of course, if you are working in a place where the employers is not openminded you should not wear it. After all he/she is your superior and you have to listen to his/her rules. But after your job day, you can always wear it whenever you want to. Other people cannot say anything because we are free to live in Quebec but in another way it could be bad persive but after all some or gothic style or hippies style and nobody said something. It is just a kind of prejudice that people have about the hijab but why only because they are not like people that they used to see.
