Walt Disney the master mind behind the creation of the great Disney work, right from a mouse who can talk to the last fairy tale Princess with extraordinary long hair, ones made a statement ‘Of all our inventions for mass communication, pictures still speak the most universally understood language. ’ By this statement he simply meant that the pictures always speak louder and a thousand word than any regular normal language.
One of the best example to support the above statement is ‘The Girl in the Picture.’ It only took a second for Associated Press photographer Huynh Cong to snap the iconic black and white image 40 years ago. Phan Thi Kim a Vietnamese girl at about nine years of age running naked on the road after being severely burned on her back by a South Vietnamese napalm attack. The Girl in the Picture deals primarily with Vietnamese and American relationships during the Vietnam War, while examining themes of war, racism, immigration, political turmoil, repression, poverty and international relationships through the lens of the family and particularly through the eyes and everyday lives of women. It communicated the horrors of the Vietnam war in a way words could never describe, helping to end one of the most divisive wars in American history.
When the image of the naked little girl emerged, everyone feared it would be rejected because of the news agency's strict policy against nudity. It was a chilling photograph that came to symbolize the horrors of the Vietnam War and, ultimately, helped end it. Also this photograph helped Huynh Cong "Nick" to win the Pulitzer Prize.
The second example is an image that captured an epic moment in U.S. history the ‘V-J Day in Times Square’ where a sailor locked in a passionate kiss with a nurse in New York City's Times Square at the end of World War II. The photograph is known under various titles, such as V-J (Victory over Japan) Day in Times Square, V-Day, and The Kiss This couple who won the nations heart was captured by Alfred Eisenstaedt. Kissing was a favourite pose encouraged by media photographers of service personnel during the war, but Eisenstaedt was photographing a spontaneous event that occurred in Times Square as the announcement of the end of the war on Japan was made by U.S.
