THALASSERY AND ITS HISTORICAL IMPORTANCE

Thalassery is a small town on the malabar cost. It is the second largest city of north malabar.Thalassery was the word originated from the word "Thalakkathe", Thala means head and cheri means place .

The site which had previously been occupied by a French mud fort , was granted by the Kolathiri Raja in 1683. In 1708 the Raja was induced to build the tellicherry fort,which he handed over to the company for the protection of their factory and during the first half of the 18th century, the factory obtained from various Rajas many small parts of land with administrative privileges within them. They also secured the monopoly of the trade in pepper and cardamoms kolathnad,kadathanad,and kottayam. The factory thus became the principal British trading station on the west cost.

SHIRIN

Director :Abbas Kiarostami.
This film was an experiment. Viewers expected much about this film . The entire movie was about an Iranian woman watching the 12th centuries Persian love stories. Viewers should understand through sound and facial expression of Persian movie viewers. I think this film focused on camera techniques. Each shots are close up and pan. Iranian woman's face expressions, crying while seeing the film, rearrange their handkerchief. This was excellently presented. Theme is a woman's expressions and not mentioned any other things, that is the fault of the movie.

One day they attack state owned van full of cash, and they stayed 13 square meter bunker by dreaming a better life. Finally caught by the police. this is a common movie.

The abscence is a contemporary movie of Senegal. This film gives a message to the viewers that"we should never avoid our sibilings for any reasons, we can't get them back. we had completely lost that person". These theme is depicted in adama and his sister aichas life. This film touches on the social issues of drug, prostitution, corruption, brain drain etc. Adamas abandoned his family especially his deaf and dumpb sister aicha. This will lead to aicha in the sex racket. He didn't care aicha. He is a successful scientist, he had reached home through an anonimous letter saying grandmother was ill. but he is not interested to stay in Senegal and he wants to return to France. Adama's teacher got angry because he return to France. His teacher says you are born and raised in Senegal, so that you should work for our country . This is the best eg of brain drain. This film touched me and viewers also.
