Green

Green is a movie that makes you feel so sad and depressed. It was an eye opener and gives you a new look on the world of animal captivity. The movie shows the secrets and lies of the business. Giving you the story of a dieing monkey and how it gets captured. Showing you how you think something so small can be so big and you never think about what really happens. You only see the nice side of animal captivity and never wonder the bad. I never wondered how the system really works and what really goes on with the animals. This movie showed everything from the deforestation to how the monkey died. The movie had no language just music in the background which made it more interesting and made you pay attention more. It was like watching a movie with caption you had to watch everything to get the movie.The deforestation made the whole movie more informative and convincing. It gave the movie another look at how the forest gets destroyed because of our needs and wants. It mostly our wants and we don't know how it all happens.
The movie gives you a feeling of guilt and regret. All of our consumption, destroys so much of our world and the animal world. People think they are doing their job by saving the animals and their lives but they are really destroying the only life they have left. All of our greed and power makes everything worst and we never think of how it is destroying the earth. We have all we need but still we take more and more, until we realize there is no more. I think the movie was mostly about all the deforestation and animal captivity

Class Movie

I really did know what to say about this movie, it was okay at the beginning and than it got to crazy at the end. I think that its okay to be gay but i really don't like seeing all the kissing and touching. I think gay men are the hardest to see kissing and touch that's just not right but they have the right to do what they want. Girls are okay but still its not right and seeing them kiss is so weird. Gay to me is okay but I just wish they keep it secret, not so public.
People do have their own feelings about this issue and some go to extreme measures to fight against gay people. Movies such as this one would cause so much commotion in society because it shows everything. I didn't like the end it was to much for me, I wanted to leave the classroom. My family is against gay couples and do not like the fact that they are out there. We don't really care or think about it but we don't deny that its out there.
I have gay friends and it does gross me out when they do all the kissing and touching but they are such good people. I just hate when the gay men try to hard to act like woman. They think they know how it is to be a woman, when in reality they have no idea. It bothers me so much when gay men try to talk like woman too, it annoys me so much. Other than that I do love my gay friends because they have deeper sympathy than other people.

Making the Man,Courting Condi

This movie was so interesting, stupid, funny, and very informational. At the beginning I guess you call them previews, but they were little movies. The first one I did not get at all and the second one was annoying until the end. All of them were very interesting though and you thought of why they made these movies.

The first little movie to me made no sense at all. I kept thinking about what it meant and still have no idea of what it was about. It was a bunch of fire hydrates in a line, crawling around in the dirt. Maybe it was about wildfires, i don't know it was so weird.

The second little movie was at first questionable too and annoying. It got boring because they just ask him questions over and over and over. He was acting all stupid too, he kept getting the answers wrong or they had to tell him what to say. He was very weird and made u want to hit him or something. But at the end you understand why they did this interview with this guy. It was very surprising and made u think of how businesses are run.

Now for the main movie, Courting Condi which was really different from anything i have ever seen. The movie is about a guy who falls in love with the Secretary Of State, Condoleezza Rice. He has ever meet her or seen her in real life just on TV. He makes her movies or you can call them music videos for her about how much he loves her and that he wants to meet and marry her. He begins to find out about her life, by visiting her family and friends. Where she was born, her schools she attended, her church, and even tried to visit her mom. Well he did this he changed himself for her. He travels all over the U.S.A to find out about her and what she did to became this lady she is now. He fall so in love with her and than finds out what she is really about. Everything she did for President Bush and the Iraq war. All the lies she told to make Bush look good. Singing papers to kill thousands of people and covering up the evidence. She is a very powerful woman who lets her power go to far. But in the end after finding out everything about her he stops loving her and begins to hate her. He stops making those movies for her and begins to rebel her. Overall he never meets her and just starts to hate her and goes on with his own life.

The movie in a way gave u so much information even though it was weird. it opened my eyes to what really goes on in the White House and all the secrets. All the lies we are told and how we believe the news and press. I guess the truth came out of this movie and in that the movie was good.

Class and My Thoughts

Class this week was very interesting week, I learned a lot and it was very interested in everything we watched and learned. Everything we discussed or watched really made me think about media and what it does to our life. I wondered what the world would be like without media. Would it be a more peaceful place, more respectful society, or would the world be worst? How would kids of this generation act, talk, and be defined as a person to society or peers? Would the economy be as strong as it is or would it be in more danger? How would we look at the world or our community without media?
I thought about so much and how my childhood and those of my little nieces' and nephews' differ so much. They grew up with TV, since they were babies and I finally got TV when I was 7 years old. That's a whole 7 years, babies learn so much in one and with that I see such a difference in how they act and talk. I was always outside running around or helping my dad fix stuff. My little nieces and nephews are no where near that. They can barely clean the house and they are so lazy and really don't do much and just watch TV. We started to turn the TV off and make them work and started to limit the amount of TV watched. At first they were mad but after a while they spent more time outside than in and are very independent.
We as a nation depend so much on media, we would probably go insane without it. We all have to have the latest news in a flash or click of a bottom. We all need to know whats going on 24/7 and never think bout the real problems that are from media. All the wrong messages, false information or how this even got to be media. Media is one of the most important aspect in our lives today. We just look the other way and pretend its not and go on with life. But in reality we are always looking for whats new and what entertains us. There will never be a moment that media is not part of our lives because some how everything revolves around it.
Going back to the two classes this week, I learned that even though media is all around us and will never go away, that we have to be away from it for awhile. If not we will all get caught up in this reality that is not true most of the time. From the presentation of the Porche and Brittany Spears. I mean Porche is not the only luxury car or ride out there and if you don't buy one you are not safisicated. Even though you look, sing, or dance like Brittany Spears, people are still gonna hate you. The films we watched were very interesting, scary, and intense. We heard a whole documentary on and i didn't know how he was and did. No matter how big you get or are, most people will not know you. It is all just a big cycle of who you know and how you are represented to society. They will know and love you one day and than in a blink of a eye, you are hated everywhere.
