What connections can you make between the beginning and the end of the film? 

Which global context would you link the movie to and why?

2.The movie conveyed the message by making his father realizes that he doesn’t need two televisions and should be content with what he has and smaller things sometimes matter more than others. He realized that the hedgehog will bring more joy to his son rather than the television which wouldn't bring true joy and will only make him happy for a limited time.

3. The father is shown as a risk taker and open minded because he took a risk and climbed the wall for the ticket. He is shown as an opened minded person because at the end of the movie the father realizes that the hedgehog will make his son and him will be more happy.

The son is shown is shown as a caring and open minded person because his son cares a lot about the hedgehog .

A1. The elements of this film that impacted me were the
Setting - The setting of the orphanage was not directly revealed in the beginning and the boy spent most of his time in the dark gloomy attic
Characters - The boy, the visitors and the mother all played a crucial role in establishing the emotional connection in the film
Flashback - This was the climax of the film and revealed the purpose why the boy stole the yellow umbrella. This stylistic technique helps shows his past and creates a sense of empathy in the viewers.
Music - Throughout the whole film, the music was relatively soft but when the main scenes were taking place, the music was softer and more sombre creating a serious emotional tone and mood

Question 2
A2. In the beginning and the ending, we see that the umbrella is a fixed object. People were slightly hesitant to give it up at first but eventually they were happy to oblige and give it to someone who could use it better and for a longer time. We also see that the girl who came to visit the home, is also present in the ending when the boy becomes old and when he falls as she helps lift him up and takes him back to his shop. 

Question 3
A3. The global context I would link the movie to is Identities and Relationships. Here in the movie we see the changes in the relationship of the boy and his father when they were refugees and the hardships they faced like hunger and poverty. We see how the identity of the father lies in a yellow umbrella as that is one way that the boy remembers his father.
