If I could be any character I think I would be Effy Stonem from skins. Effy is a teenager that lives in Bristol with her mom, dad and older brother. The show is about her life and all her friends going through their last two years of high school. She is very outgoing, and wild yet she has a soft side to her that she doesn't let anyone see. I think I like Effy so much because she is like a lot of teenagers who like to have fun, and party but hide their true feelings. Everyone wants to be seen as the life of the party and act like they have no actual feelings or worries, when in reality they are hiding so much inside. I also like the fact that she just parties all the time, and has fun with her friends.

I guess it depends on how they are getting my cells and how they are using them for research. I get that it is for the good of man kind but if it is then why couldn't people just be asked to donate their cells for research. There are many people who would love to help contribute to these kinds of experiments but they still thought it would be okay to use people without their knowledge. I don't think that it's the fact they use others cells but that they don't tell them. Yes I would be upset, but would I seek restitution? I don't really think I would because to me it's not as big of a deal as it might be for others. My main question still is how would they get the cells of body parts? Is the reason they aren't telling people because the way they do it is illegal, or harmful? I would have to know the answer to that before I could really give my honest opinion
Boss Baby deals with many real life issues one being the worry of a child getting a younger sibling. Timothy thinks his life is great and that there is no need for another kid because his parents have him, and when the new kid comes he feels left out and abandoned even if it's not intentional by his parents. Kids feel as if they don't get all the attention then they don't get any which isn't true, but to them it is the worst thing in the world. I think that the target audience are kids around the ages 5-10 because it deals with young kids and babies going on a mission to make sure babies are the most loved thing. It might be necessary to show kids that no matter what you are loved and yes something/someone might take some attention away from you but it doesn't mean you are loved any less or the other is loved any more that you. It also shows that if you give someone a chance instead of not liking them right away you might grow to like them and find a family in them.
Logan was a very good/interesting movie in my opinion. There was a lot of action that made it exciting and kind of scary while there was also a good plot with it. What i really like about Logan was that it was a standalone film, that requires absolutely no knowledge or familiarity of any prior films about either Wolverine or the X-Men. The reason I liked that is because I could go see it with people like my mom who isn't up to date with the recent X-Men movie but can still watch it without asking a bunch of questions about what is going on. One of the many good things about this movie is that in it the very best moments aren't action scenes, instead they are the small, quiet ways the characters interact with one another. Most action movies (like the original X-Men/Wolverine) are just based on the action and keeping people on the edge of their seats, that kind of movie is a type that only certain people can really like. With the sweet, tender moments it can bring in other people that don't typically like action movies. All together I thought the movie was well made and written and i would go see it again.
I feel as if the preview sold the movie as well as it could without giving away anything important. The scenes in the trailer have just enough action and suspense to make someone want to watch the movie just to see what happens. It is long and detailed enough to give away hints without telling you what will happen but that make you assume what will happen, which is what they want. The point of a movie trailer is to make someone want to see the movie not just because it looks good, but because they have already been pulled into it and have to watch the whole thing. That is exactly what the trailer did in my opinion.
A film I have recently watched was LaLa Land directed by Damien Chazelle. Who is widely known for his second feature film, Whiplash which was made in 2014. Whiplash is a movie depicting the relationship between an ambitious jazz student and an abusive instructor. Damien's style in his movies show the real struggles people face in achieving their dreams. He shows how people go through hardships and how they either overcome them or give up. All of his movies are known for being very detailed and true to how people going through these experiences actually feel.
In my opinion what makes up a hero is many different things. They should be strong and courageous, but they also should be able to show vulnerability. A hero can't just be all amazing and not have any flaws or weaknesses because then people wouldn't be able to relate right? Someone who can get over hardships and overcome things they might not have been able to at the beginning is a hero. They have to grow and show that there is more to them than meets the eye. I haven't seen Zootopia so I can't exactly compare the two main characters of that and Creed, but I can say that with both nobody really believed in them except a few and those few are the reason they can be considered heroes. I don't really have a favorite hero but i like spider man so I'll talk about him. Peter Parker and Adonis both were kinda nobodies that people didn't really pay attention to. They had their insecurities and hardships but both overcame them. They fought and tried and didn't stop until they could be their best. Heroes are people who have to work for things and that's how they got to where they were in life.
First I'm going to talk about my worst movie experience because I feel like it is always best to talk about the bad stuff first. I went to go see The Purge: Election year with my mom about 4 days after it came out. We went to the Birkdale movies because on Tuesdays the tickets are only 6 six dollars. Because it was a new movie and it was on Tuesday obviously a good amount of people were there. We got there pretty early though so we got popcorn, drinks, and some good seats. At first the movie wasn't super crowded but once the previews were over all the underage kids that bough tickets to other movies and decided to sneak in came. Some of them were about 13-15 and didn't think they would get caught but they were being really loud and obnoxious. Around the middle of the movie some of the workers came in and started kicking people out. It would have been fine if they weren't talking loud and interrupting the movie. The kids were upset that they were getting kicked out and were talking trying to persuade the workers but all they really were doing was just interrupting the movie and making me and my mom mad. Finally the people left and so did the workers and me and my mom got to finish the movie in peace. (plus my mom complained so we got a free movie ticket which was cool) Now I am going to talk about my best experience at the movies. I have had many good experiences because like I said in the first story me and my mom like to go to the Birkdale movies on Tuesdays and if we go at a good time nobody is there because most people are at work or school, but this time I went with my friend on the weekend to go see Pete's Dragon because we had two free movie tickets.We kinda expected people to be there but we lucked out because when we got into the theater nobody was in there at all and nobody ended up coming in. We also went to the Walgreen's before and stacked up on donuts, candy, and soda to put in my purse. So basically we got to see and good movie by ourselves for free and we got to eat a bunch of snacks and not worry how loud we were because it's not like anyone was going to complain. All in all it was a good night :)
The way lighting plays a role in the tunnel scene is that it adds to the suspense. It makes you scared for the characters, because you don't know what's going to happen to them. The way it only shows light at certain parts and barley shows the creature that is chasing/attacking them makes it scarier and has people wanting to watch it more intensely to see if the light shows anything important. With the lights flashing the way they do it kinda has us feeling like we are in the movie witnessing what the characters are. We only see what the characters are seeing, we are feeling the same as the characters because they don't know what is happening either. To me the sound that stands out the most would be the yelling of the characters or the explosives. The way the characters are screaming for each other to watch out and asking where they are was very big in the scene. The explosives are also very prominent in this scene because it is probably the loudest sound. They both help me understand the scene by providing insight that something bad is happening and the characters are trying their hardest to get out of the situation they are in. They are shooting at whatever is trying to kill them and they are doing whatever it takes to survive and make sure their friends also survive.
In this film there is a lot of controversy and problems. One big problem is the social issues in the movie. There is a cast system and some of the districts get treated better than the others. The people who live in the capital are in their own little world and they either don't know or don't care about what is happening to the districts. Snow (the president) likes to believe he is helping everyone but in reality the only people he is helping are the ones in the capital that have money. The president is a dictator pretty much because he is in charge of everyone and everything. He makes people compete in the hunger games, he limits peoples food, and he even bombed a whole district because he didn't get what he wanted. Which was for everyone to obey him and to stop revolting. The social issues are just that Snow is in total control and nobody seems to be able to do anything about it. Snow and the capitol believe that everything he does is for the good of the districts and that if people want to be unified and safe then a little death is okay as long as they reach their end goal. The rich people are biased because they don't understand how it is to live like the districts. They don't believe anything is wrong because they don't pay enough attention to notice what is going on. The districts on the other hand believe that they need to come together to do something about the whole capitol. They don't believe it's fair that in the capitol people just party all they want, eat all they want, have anything they want while everyone else is starving and working all they can to be able to provide for their family and eat dinner. They are suffering and are mad that people in the capitol have everything they need and then some. They don't have to go into the hunger games, they just get to watch and cheer on people to their deaths. V.S The way this film tries to persuade us of its message is by showing us that by one person standing up for what they believe and not taking crap from anyone else can start a chain reaction. Just by Katniss showing she cares about Rue and standing against the hunger games others followed in her footsteps. (Skip to 5:20 of this video) |
