Austin Powers

-


If you are a fan of spy movies and have a sense of humor, Austin powers is a must watch for you.
The series has three films:
Austin Powers: International Man of Mystery
Austin Powers: The Spy Who Shagged Me 
Austin Powers in Goldmember.




Let me warn you that they WILL remove any sort of image you might harbor of an ultra-suave super spy.
The movies poke fun at James bond movies and characters like Dr. No, From Russia with Love, Gold finger, You Only Live Twice.it has various references of or rather parodies of fight scenes of movies such as crouching tiger hidden dragon.
The movies have a 1960s or 70s vibe which can be explained easily: being cryogenically  frozen or even time travel.
Mike Myers has a double role throughout the franchise as Austin powers and Dr. Evil. Both characters are, umm, let’s just say intriguing.



Austin Powers is your below average looking (weirdo with bad teeth) British spy with daddy issues who apparently females (god only knows why) find attractive.
And Dr. Evil is well EVIL. (Evil as in Villain with a Cat and a dwarf sized clone of himself.) He hatches various plans throughout the franchise to take over the world. (Did I mention even a 10year old with a brain could make a better plan to take over the world?)
It has funny characters, outrageous plots and mild (maybe not so mild) sexual innuendos and is therefore a must watch on your “to watch this summer list”.

     “With the single exception of Homer, there is no eminent writer, not even Sir Walter Scott, whom I can despise so entirely as I despise Shakespeare when I measure my mind against his."-  George Bernard Shaw              Reading or listening to Shakespeare can be like learning a foreign language. And then some people have trouble finding the "real" or "true" emotion or feeling in the words. It takes time, and everyone is in such a hurry. Well, not everyone. People liked the movie "Shakespeare in Love", but then the language was changed when the "real" characters were talking with each other while not reciting their lines. The main issue may be intellectual accessibility. They are nauseatingly boring to read. And all I learned was that Early Modern English hurt my brain. The most bizarre and probably the coolest of all was Muammar al-Gaddafi on Willy, who was,  Sheikh  Zubayr bin...

Black Lives Matter

'There comes a time when silence is betrayal'.   -Martin Luther King .  To where it all started… Let's go back in time to the year 2013- The year 2013 which has made all difference by celebrating the acknowledgment of the existence of black lives, when the never answered injustice in the form of racism was questioned. Black lives matter is the world famous movement which signifies the contribution of the black folks in the society. The movement came to life against the white supremacy because of the deadly oppression and the brutal behaviour faced by the black race community. The movement black lives matter focuses on changing the mindset of racists that there is no black-white, African-American, the only race is Human race. In other words, humanity should be our race and love should be the religion. How digital media played a role? The gruesome death of Trayvon Martin a 17 year old African American who was shot in Sanford, Florida by George Zimmerman wh...

Feminism: The Way Of Being

  A feminist is anyone who recognizes the equality and full humanity of women and men. Gloria Steinem. Feminism not a one way concept, a wide spectrum…       Feminism – an eight-letter word which has shaped the beliefs of all of the human-kind, which has kept the connotation of ‘feminism’ as the advocacy of women’s rights the grounds of the equality of the sexes. Through this piece, I’d like to share my notion about this sentiment, seeking to establish parallel ‘hope’, ‘freedom’, ‘space’, ‘contingency’ and ‘cut’ through a male prospect. The penchant wave formally began in 1848, where about three hundred men and women rallied about for the cause of equality for women. The socio-historical oppression was born when contradiction was seen as the antagonism between both of these sexes on the basis of biological differences, being compared to men, it was believed that women were at a biological disadvantage, as the reproductive function of a woman was considered as a ...
