Umm Kulthum Movie Review             Music indeed has a significant meaning that organized society in the Middle East by instituting biding affairs among communities. This formed a comparable identity that motivates people more than any other art. Therefore, Umm Kulthum’s career and her film provide remarkable connections between music philosophy and social organization in the Middle East communities (Lohman, n.p). Throughout her considerable talent, she brought mediocracy to the stories of other Middle Eastern women, where else her musical mastery helped to bring social development and togetherness in Arabs society in the new century. Also, she played a noteworthy influence on the notions of nationalism, whereby she became a political voice and an advocate for social and political issues from her charitable contributions to military efforts.

THE TRIUMPH OF PAN BY NICOLAS POUSSIN The original painting of Triumph of Pan was a not so subtle celebration of culture, as portrayed by Nicolas Poussin, leading painter in the baroque style that was synonymous with French painting. The painting depicts pan lain in the middle of a tight-knit group of people who appear to be reveling in all kinds of pleasure, some in lewd sexual positions, and others seeming to partake in alcoholic drinks. Some of the men and women appear to be completely naked and exposed as others appear to be struggling to get up, possibly due to the alcohol intake, or the coercion may be interpreted as a representation of rape. The painting does not seem to hold just a single meaning but maybe understood uniquely by everyone who sees it. Recently, in the year 2017, Louis Vuitton, a popular fashion and luxury retail store, took the bold step of collaborating with famous contemporary artist Jeff Koons in their latest chain of handbags (Editor). The whole idea was the creation of luxury bags with famous paintings done…
