A Long Walk to Freedom and The Last MAn Down

 

[paper cup]

A Beautiful Mind
Death of a Salesman
The Crucible (I haven't seen this but my teacher said yes to it)
Anything on Mandela
A heap of Leunig cartoons
Also look for articles in the media that might be related to the concept - gives you fresh outlook
frost poem 'stopping by woods on a snowy evening' - I think this has been mentioned.

 

[urf]

I used:
Fight Club (film)
Green Day - Welcome to Paradise (song)

They seem to be working pretty well in terms of the inner journeys depicted in them. I suppose when I use them for an assignment will be the real test.

Donnie Darko (film) would also work but it is much too complex for me, I reccomend it if you're brave or skillful enough.

 

[paper cup]

so far I have:

glitter (movie poster)
crossroads (movie)
walk on the wildside (song)
a picture of these vivienne westwood watches...its relevant i assure you

i want to do something on eva peron.

you mean the britney spears movie...cos I'd advise you against it.

 

[urf]

Anyone know any good leunig cartoons BESIDES the "let it go" one? It seems to be the only thing anyones mentioned.

 

[freaked]

How many texts are we suppose to study ourselves?

 

[nwatts]

I use The Motorycle Diaries (film, 2004 - Walter Salles), The Crucible (play, 1953 - Arthur Miller) and Amelie (film, 2001 - Jean-Pierre Jeunet). Often i'll use them with set-readings 'Blood on the Tracks' and 'The Town Where Time Stands Still'. The prescribed text I use is 'My Place' by Sally Morgan, which I hate, but is an excellent inner-journeys text.

I have great notes on The Motorcycle Diaries, so if you're familiar with the film you may be interested.

I've also used Donnie Darko (film, 2001 - Richard Kelly), however i'd advise against it. It features an incredibly complex narrative, that really needs to be explained in order for comments on the journey to surface. This means that you'll be wasting time writing content that won't get you any marks.

 

[freaked]

I will not be studying Donnie Darko, I love the film, but I am not too confident with my essay writing skills, however, I would be really interested in reading notes you have on the film.
Let me know, Thanks

Song - Believe it or not Metamorphosis by hilary duff... bad song bad bad song but it is really relevant.

"Oh! The Places You'll Go" is awesome for physical/imaginative and inner journeys... its a picture book by Dr. Seuss.

The movie Rainman is really good too.

What are some ideas of journeys portrayd in "Oh! The Places You'll Go" by Dr. Seuss that i can use in the exam????

Also i need help in section 1 part 1 of the english exam... can i get a list of all the techniques i should look 4 when looking at texts.. thanxx heaps

 

[Crestwood's_G]

do we need to know BOS booklet i know it but im wondering if they will ask us to include it with our text for me it is cosi

 

[slinky_cumquat]

in reply to someone earlier: we need to have our set text, one stimulus (that stupid shiny thing) and 2 of our own choosing.

im thinking diversifying as much as possible in text type, markers will like it much better!

 

[hot princess]

Um okay I have a few on my list for inner journey's texts,

Movies
American Beauty - The last few scenes where the guy (sorry can't remember his name) is reflecting on what has happened as he dies.
LotR - there's heaps of sences in this Frodo and what happens to the ring. Aragon's choice with the Paths of the Dead. The decision of the fellowship to send Frodo and heaps more. The books are sometimes better.
Moulin Rouge - At the end where Satine tells him she doesn't love him and how he goes back to find out why.
Rabbit Proof Fence - The Journey of the girls and there perserverence to make it home regardless of the distance.

Books
The Tommorow Series - There's heaps in these books. The inner journey of any of the characters and how they manage to deal with the idea of a war so close to home.
Letters From the Inside - The stories of the two girls lifes and how they deal with them.
Firesong - Inner journey of Bowman and Kess when they leave their parents.

Poems
Footprints - Kindda self explanitory

Songs
Cats in the Craddle - The father and how he realises that his son is "just like me."
Superman - "even hero's have the right to dream"

Okay yeah that's about it from me for now I hope it helps oh yeah Wizard of Oz - and how all of them go on a jjourney because they need something and how they discover that/find that. Yeah so that's all hope it helped.

[~*Bubbles*~]

would big fish be ok, i know its imaginative, but will has an inner journey wen he accepts his father as the truth, has anyone done this one?

 

[B35tY]

Has anyone seen the Time Machine? The new one, with Guy Pearce in it.

Would that be an inner journey, shown through the metaphor of a physical journey (much like the road not taken)?

 

[shelley686]

I think doing the footprints poem would be really interesting, but i fail to see much of an inner journey, like i know it is, but there isnt really a change of state of mind, could you clarify? Thanks
