Computers have made the world a better place

In our times the computers have become a very necessary and practical too. They're essential for the business, school work, scientist investigations...
On the one hand computers help us to do a lot of technical things, but we can also enjoy them. We can play computer games, chatt and surff internet to visity the webpage which we prefer.
On the other hand there's a serious problem related to computer games. There are children and teenagers who are addictive to them. They suffer some phychological problems because of it and others: they argue with their parents a lot and their school marks low in general.
In conclusion the computers made the world a better place depending on how much we abuse of them and for what situations we use them.

Questions about The Others


1- The Title

The title refers to the ghosts who are living in the mansion: Grace, Anne and Nicolas principally. They don’t know that are dead.

2- The Setting

The dark atmosphere, the old mansion, the lonely and foggy forest, the play with the voices, the soundtrack, and Nicole Kidman who has got a pale face and very light color eyes make the film horror.
I think that Alejandro Amenábar chase a very good and simply elements, I wouldn’t like to add any more.

3- The Time

The film set terminus the Second Mundial War.
The director show us when Grace’s husband has arrived of the war and finally he returned there.

4- The Cast

Grace, the mother:
She feels scared and responsible of her children’s dead.
She educate their very religiously.
Grace had become mad because she killed her children and after she killed to herself by a rifle, all this things happen after the film but in the large of story we can know it.

Anne and Nicolas, the kids:
They think that suffer photophobia but they are ghosts so they can’t have any illness.
They cope

Mrs Mills, Mr Tutle and Lydia, the housekeepers:

They story role is make see to Grace that she and her children are ghosts and that the others who are in the house are alive.

Alejandro Amenábar, the director:
Tesis is another film that he has directed. He was 29 years old when he directed The Others because he was born in 1972 and the film had made in 2001.
The Others won a Goya for the best film, the best director and the best original script.


5- FINAL QUESTION

Yes, I think that The Others can be considered a representative of Gothic fiction.
It isn’t a blood horror film the principally topic about religion and discourage superstition by providing evidence of the existence of good spirits. And appear a lot of darkest fears.
