Changing Perspectives
Things do change, nothing is the same old thing. In particular, perspectives change which is evident in Peter Skryznecki' s two poems "Felix Skryznecki" and "The Migrant Hostel". Text 5 of the Stimulus Booklet, "The Fractal screenshot" also has a great deal to say about change. So too have the film, Matrix and Peter Goldsworthy's novel, Maestro. Various language and film techniques convey the changing perspectives in these text.Felix Skryznecki" is a poem written to extend the poet, Peter's inner affection for his father. In the poet's perspective, there is the presence of awe and admiration, which he feels toward the way his father has survived through life. Felix is a man of individuality who lives to his own simple satisfaction. The second line of the poem indicates this in "Kept pace only with the Joneses, of his own mind's making". The detailed description of body parts such as the hands shows the poet's close observation of his father and emphasises Felix's stoicism and optimistic will. The hands are compared to cement and cracks, like "the sods he broke". Felix never shows any sign of fatigue or complaint about labor and work; instead, he passively accepts it as a part of his life. Peter has never lived like the way his
The Matrix is a futuristic movie about a complex, incredibly advanced simulation, into which are plugged the minds of six million humans imprisoned unknowingly in tanks. The perspective change is the line of acceptance and understanding of two realities: the true reality and the reality, in which all of the enslaved humans think they live - the simulation. A small number of talented people are able to change the codes of the simulation. The character Neo is introduced to the perspective that his life is in reality a mere simulation, and he must learn to accept it. The idea of having a simulated reality is similar to the way Peter Skryznecki describes the vulnerability and lack of control the immigrants have over their lives in "Migrant Hostel". The simulated reality is the linear plane of our changing lives. The true reality is like our destiny and all of those set values of ones life that are outside of our control. The perspective change happened in the movie when Neo Anderson dies and revives with fresh understanding of the simulation. He becomes capable of looking at the simulation objectively and recognizes the running codes of every action inside the simulation. His new acceptance of this fact enables him to reject the commands of the AI and alter its fibers to the way that he sees fit. For example, bullets can be stopped, speed can be increased and even objects transformed. All of the above relies heavily on computer visualization so that graphical effects such as the realities, waves of a bullet can be produced vividly. The use of slow motion in many cases helps to establish the feeling of an altering reality, and emphasizes the Neo team's transcendent abilities. Accompanied by many film techniques, the movie shows that even in a world of simulation, there are rebellious beings attempting break through in order to gain total freedom and self-control. Once again, the changing of one's perspective can affect one's life greatly, hence showing that nothing can stay the same. father did. He is ignorant of the forced labour in Germany and the awkward years of Post World War Two. He, himself has grown up in a society different to his parent's heritage and his life is unmistakably of a fresh culture and style. Felix's polish friends, all share the same reminiscences of their culture and something unique that only migrants like themselves can understand. The poet claims that as he grows older, he distances himself further away from not just his Polish heritage, but his parents as well. In the last stanza, Peter refers to his poor understanding of his cultural language that he has forgotten his first Polish word. The mention of the "Hadrian's Wall" highlights the division that is starting to occur between the poet and his father. It symbolises the old and the new whereas in this case, t
