Conflict

In the movie Step Up: All In the conflict would be the main characters struggle against society to make it into the cutthroat competition that comes with being a dancer.  This begins as they can’t seem to get an audition and once they enter a competition they realize that this is it. The main character must fight against friends and others with family to get where they want to go. They also have to fight against other dance crews to win a place in Las Vegas. The main character also has to get over his ex girlfriend and learn to understand his new crew better. In my life I would say an example of conflict could be the struggle to maintain grades up and to get into a good university. We could make a film that could involve a student’s conflict I keeping their grades up and the struggle to pick and get accepted to college.

My FlLM job

I feel that for the purpose of film making would be a director because i feel like i have a good eye for emotions. Being a director would mean  that i would have to be able to oversee the shooting and see in which way i could bring the most amount of emotion and story-line into the film. I feel that i have a good understanding of the basic shot and the elements of  a good movie successful. I also feel that the production of a good film is all in the establishment and the sequential orders of films. I also feel that out of the rest this is the best choice however acting would also be a good alternative. Acting has always come easy to me and like acting the expressing of emotions is something that i could be successful. I would like to be a director and actor because i want to be able to create something that could inspire people.

My Review of the Elephant Man

In the Elephant man we see the life of a man come to life. The story of John Merrick a man who suffered horrible deformities that led him to be abused and ridicules. We also see the difference in lifestyle that his life takes thanks to Dr. Frederick Treves. I personally think that the Elephant man was one the best movies I have ever see. It inspired me to be a better person and to not judge people by the way they look but by their actions and personalities. It has taught me that people are afraid of what they don't understand sadly John Merrick had to first handedly be exposed to the horrors of society. In this movie I particularly enjoyed the relatability of John Merricks life to that of Christ’s. The use of biblical symbols made the storyline and the actual facts stand out and make understand that there is always the good and the bad and that good people can be bad during certain circumstances in the same bad people can be good. 

My Name is John Merrick

Today was one of the happiest days of my life I was visited by Ms. Kendall she was so beautiful I never thought a woman of her stature would ever see me as anything more than an elephant man. She brought me a book on Shakespeare. I always enjoy reading books it helps me escape. No matter how wonderful the writings are I cant get the kiss Ms. Kendall gave me out of my mind I am so glad to have gained a new friend just like Dr. Treves. I am forever thankful to him for his help in allowing me to lead a somewhat normal life and for rescuing me from Bytes. I do miss the Bytes’ boy I remember his wanting to help when things got rough and wonder if I could ask Dr. Treves to help the boy gain an education. I feel like having a bit of reading to fit in before bed so I must admit that I no longer wish to write

John

Welcome to my Nightmare....Bwa ha ha !!

My fear of the dark is irrational and I know it. I have always been fearful of it and what it hides. I feel like one day its going show me something terrible. The weird thing is that I am not afraid of the darkness once my eyes adjust to the light it's the few seconds in which I am blinded that make me panic. This has been presented to me in the shape of numerous nightmares and every time I go to sleep. When I was little I remember having a recurring nightmare in which we lived in the future after the end of the world (weird I know) and that we had to place a strand of hair exactly in a key to not be ripped apart. It was a weird nightmare complete with monsters and death but I didn't shake it until I was well into my teenage years. I remember waking up in the dark and feeling even more scared. It probably didn't help that one of my favorite shows often depicts psychopaths murdering people at night and in their sleep.

Compassionate science

When I grow up I want to be able to go and help people through medicine. To be able to go to far away places that have been ravaged by war and help people get their health back. I am a very compassionate person but sometimes I feel like its not enough because of day-to-day selfishness. Personally I feel that it’s not fair we have all these commodities and that is why I want to bale to spread health. I’ve worked with the Interacts and I’m thankful I have. It showed me the things I should be grateful for. It has taught me compassion and its what drives me to become a physician. To help people in need weather by dispensing food and water or through free medical care. I’m not in it for the money I never have, sure there are some perks but the biggest would be being able to see the faces of the people I would help.

The Future

I believe that in the future we will all live in peace after the great nuclear war of the year 3000.People will be able to travel to other planets and inhabit them. We will have received messages from life in other galaxies. The planet however will be in decay in certain war ravaged places and we will be controlled under 3 major governments. All of Europe Africa and Middle East by the Aura National, Asia by the United Serving Nations and, the Americas by The American Association. These three governments will control the entire world. Peace will be maintained through endorphin injections required starting at the age of 10. People will be mathematically matched with their most eligible mate and lived happily. There will be free health care and people will have wristwatches issued by the IDT that will allow for instantaneous teleportation’s to any of the confederations and planet boarders by voice command. We will all be implanted with a brain tracker that will be monitored to prevent crimes and rebellion against peace. There will be much happiness until the forced transport to another planet by the destruction of our sun.

One time I laughed really really hard

It was a long time ago I was probably five of six and I remember doing something bad I don’t exactly remember what but it was bad. I remember not wanting to tell my mom because I new what awaited ne was a spanking. It was mid afternoon when I finally told her and again I don’t remember what it was but my mom got really mad. She was red with anger and I knew what was coming however before she could I ran. I jumped over sofas the coffee table over my moms ironing board and made my way to the bedroom with my mom hot on my heels. I mad it to the bed and grabbed two pillows my mom was seething. However, I don’t know what it was whether it was me sitting with one pillow on my butt and other held up like a shield that got her, but she broke out laughing and so did I . I had never laughed so hard in my life.

Modern Times (Review)

Modern Times was silent film by Charlie Chaplin depicting the era of depression in the world along with that of the industry boom. In the movie we are presented with a futuristic industry with machines and technology not available yet but that are there to make the workers miserable. However, Chaplin changes the setting to a present view to show that either way in the future or in the present people are still miserable. The unemployment during the great depression is shown in this film as something regularly seen. Chaplin depicts himself and the Gamin as regular people trying to make due with what they have during these times of trouble. As a silent film Chaplin was showing a movie behind on the times something ironically contrasting with its title. The talkie revolution had since happened. However, he never strayed from the idea that a picture is worth a thousand words. He clearly showed that the troubles the world was facing and that he himself was facing with the police in his real life weren’t something out of the ordinary. He wanted them to take notice in every language out there. What better way than with a silent movie. Modern times depicted the life of many Americans during this era, people who during desperate times fought to survive. His last message being that one must smile and never give up because things will work out…eventually

My thoughts on Bullying

People sometimes feel the need to establish their superiority over others. Bullying isn’t a natural defense we don’t prey on the week by nature. However we are drawn to them. In this day and age society has more than often no ostracized those who do not fit the mold. Bullying secludes those that don’t fit in and even the ones that do because of petty things. Especially in school we see students taking to each other in cruel ways that even lead to tears. Society has presented us with an ideal of what they think is okay and people that fit the criteria bully those who don’t. Some bullies have even been bullied as well. The only way to fix this problem would be to change the way society in general views others. This may take time because not only are we hard set to maintain the aura of abuse but also we want to feel better than everyone else. This is what causes bullying.

Favorite Movies

My favorite movies include John Q, The Fault In Our Stars, and finally Divergent. These movies include resounding plots and filmmakers that are extremely good at showing us the message behind the movies. They use different locations, as well as music to connect images to the plot. They take shots from different angles to draw in emotions from a scene. These were especially necessary for the making of The Fault in Our Stars and John Q. In the Fault In Our Stars the make of the movie used the narration of the main character as well as special effects to show us the thoughts and emotions of the love story from a dying girl. However, in Divergent and in John Q we were not given the characters point of view directly but through scenes and expression. Divergent, specially, used special effects to show a futuristic time and computerized images of the ruins of Chicago. This all ties in with the plot allowing for the viewers to be completely emerged in the film. These particular movies drew me in because of the great messages behind them, some of which I had never considered. For example the cruelty of the world we live in tied in with every aspect including the medical one (John Q), the possibility of infinity in a numbered amount of days (Tfios), and the that were are defined by our choices and not our preconceptions (Divergent).
