Superior Position

Although hardest to incorporate into a movie, superior position is one of the best elements to include in a movie because it keeps the audience on their toes. A movie in which this happens is The Last Song. In this movie, Ronnie is visiting her dad on vacation. She doesnt know, however, that her dad had recently been involved in a fire for which he was blamed for. This fire, along with her dad inside the church, were shown in the begunning so we know that he was there. Later on, there is even more superior position when we see a conversation between Ronnies boyfriend and his bestfriend about this night at the church. They, apparently, were the ones to blame for the fire and they tell Ronnies dad. Ronnie, though, is oblivious to all this until she overheard other neighbors talking about the incident

Beginning, Middle, and End

All movies have beginnings, middles, and ends. However, a movie that I really like that has a clear beginning, middle, and end is A Walk to Remember. In this movie Jamie  is a very innocent, preachers daughter. She finds herself constantly being harassed by Landon and his group of friends. Landon is a trouble maker who gets caught by the police trespassing and is forced to act in The school play, in which, coincidentally, Jamie also acts. In the middle they practice their lines and slowly fall in love. The end, though sad, is a great one. Jamie dies of leukemia; however Landon, the school bad boy end up in med school, surprising his whole family. Everyone's lifes beginning is their birth, the middle is their whole life, and, unfortunately, the end is their death

Undeserved Misfortune

Undeserved misfortune is when a character, usually the protagonist, experiences something horrible that  they for no reason deserved. An example of this in a movie is in my all-time favorite movie, Frozen. Anna and Elsa are both shown to be innocent little girls. Else is cursed with her powers to freeze thing. Elsa never did anything wrong prior to the curse to have gotten it. Another example of undeserved misfortune in Frozen is when Anna is struck with Elsa's power to freeze and falls to the ground. The innocent little girl who was previously playing freely can no longer even move for quite some time. Her sister also is not allowed to play with her because she can hurt her again. Both of them experience undeserved misfortune.

Welcome to My Nightmare

Have you ever had one of those dreams that is so real that you feel like what happened to you in it actually happened in real life? You actually feel pain, smell the blood, and hear the traffic. You even wake up crying from these dreams. Well this happened to me with a nightmare, that too many would seem silly. Because I have a phobia of dogs, their appearance in my dreams are never pleasant. In this particular dream I dreamt that I was on my way to the store with my brother and his friend. On our way there we saw a dog approaching us in the middle of the street, and, like many people would do, my brother called it over. I began panicking as the dog went around my brother and came directly to me. In fear, i went on top of the car parked nearest to me and then jumped off and ran back to my house. to my horror, the dog followed me into my house. I started crying to my mom and right when the dog ran inside my house i woke up in tears.

My FIlm Job

There are two film jobs that I see myself doing: producer and casting director, but I would prefer being a producer. Because I like things to get done correctly and on time, I would only be comfortable with it getting done by me. I do not consider myself a mean person so i would never treat the people in my studio company bad, but I am assertive. When I want someone to do something or finish their jobs, I make sure they do it without being rude. Although i have other classes that take up a lot of time,

My Review on the Elephant Man

When the movie just began, I had no idea what was going on, making it extremely difficult for me to get into the movie. However, as the movie went on, i started understanding it more and more. When the elephant man, or John Merrick, made his first appearance, I did not get a feeling of disturbance like most of the characters in the movie. At first I thought it was because I was not actually seeing him in person, but then I realized that most people in our class did get scared. I was very shocked, but instead of being overwhelmed with a feeling of disgust, I was filled with pity in a way. Knowing that this movie was based on a true story only made this feeling of sorrow for John even stronger. I tried to put myself in his position, but no matter how hard I tried, I could not imagine how difficult it must have been. It was here when I really started getting into the movie and enjoying it much more. So far, this has been my favorite movie that we have watched in class.

My Name John Merrick...

My name is John Merrick and today I lived my worst nightmare. Everyday here at the London Hospital seems to get better, but I knew it was too good to be true. You would think that after a life time of being made fun of and being mistreated I would be used to this, but I guess I still am not. Getting away from Mr. Bytes was the best thing that had ever happened to me, but today... today I saw him again. It has been a while now that the night porter, who's supposed to be taking care of the hospital, has been bringing his friends here to watch me. Being in the circus had already got me accustomed to being watched and made fun of, but the amount of embarrassment I felt today was imcomparable. They must think I am beyond stupid if they believe that it does not bothering me that these drunk, ugly men are drowning me with alcohol and making me kiss these women. The humiliation I felt only increased when i saw Bytes was here and even more when he took me away with him once more.

Compassionate Science

In a world where technology is taking over rather rapidly, it is of great importance that some of this technology is for the benefit of others too. In order to do this, one must under take a career in the science and engineering fields. It is very difficult, however, to create something for the benefit of others without being criticized or judged for it hurting others as well. Every new piece of technology causes an ethical dilemma between many people. If there were one thing I could do without causing any controversy, it would be finding a way of creating stem cells. Nowadays, the only way to obtain these is through the fetus of an unborn child. Many people detest this idea because the only way to get these is through fetuses of babies that have been aborted. It would be wonderful to find a way of, maybe not creating, but rather discovering where else these cells could from. If we had access to these and could implant them in other people, then those who have been paralyzed could walk again, talk again, and eat again. They will no longer depend on wheel chairs to get around or tubes to feed them. I would do anything I can to figure this out

The Future

I think that the future carries much hope for us in many aspects but mostly in technological advancements. It seems as if nowadays instead of coming up with new inventions, engineers are just improving the already made ones and giving them a higher number. If this trend continues, in ten years there will be an iPad 20 and a Samsung Galaxy S38. If there is such things as these, they better make new features available like having a hologram of the person while you are talking to them on the phone, or being able to send a text message and take it back if you regret sending it. On phones they should make an actual thumbprint reader to unlock it to assure only you will ever be able to access it not those fake ones that count seconds for how long your thumb has been on it. I also hope for a closet organizer where you input a picture of every shirt, jeans, jewelry, shoes and basically every piece of clothing into a computer. The computer will then tell you what outfit you should wear and keep track of how many times you have worn it. In order to help save the earth and reduce the need for gasoline, car companies should make cars that can power solely on air. Every person should also be able to have their own clone so that they can perform the tasks we are too lazy to do or to get multiple things done at the same time. If there are not clones we should at least have our own robots to perform simple, daily acts.

One Time I Laughed Really, Really Hard

One time I laughed really, really hard was last year in my auto mechanics class in sixth period. I was with a group of about six people and we all found ourselves cracking up by the end of the period. Everyday for about two weeks one of our friends, Efrain, was telling us a lot of dumb jokes. We were getting tired of hearing the same old jokes like "What's a fish's favorite color? Bloop, Bloop, Bloop!" and others just as ridiculous. Every time Efrain would tell the joke he would start laughing like it was the funniest thing he had ever heard in his life. After having told him we were tired of these same jokes, he pulled out his phone and went to his browser to a website he had tabbed. the website was called dumbjokes.com We didn’t know whether to laugh at the fact that the jokes were so stupid or rather because he had to look up jokes because he couldn’t think of any on his own.

My Review on Modern Times

Having been my first silent, black and white movie, Modern Times did not disappoint me. I always had this idea that these movies were boring and never something that I would enjoy watching, yet I did. At first it was a little difficult for me to understand what was going on in the movie, for I am used to the voices being what the movie make sense to me. As the movie went on, I started to understand the story and got the hang of reading the actors' lips if I needed to. Because the movie was silent, I noticed myself paying more attention to the little details in the scenes. The silence also made it impossible for me to get distracted because I knew that if I did, I would not understand what was going on in the movie. My favorite part of the movie was the end where Charlie Chaplin’s character tells the gamin to Smile. The 1930’s were a time full of hardships not only for Americans but for people all over the world. With the Great Depression in place, many found themselves in the same situations that the gamin and Charlie Chaplin did. This last word tried to assure them that everything would be fine and it was important for them to smile and stay positive. Similarly, this year being my last one in high school, may be filled with many hardships. However, by smiling I can maintain a positive attitude and accomplish what I have to.

My Thoughts on Bullying

Though I have never been bullied nor have I ever bullied anyone, my strong hatred from bullying still exists. It has always been an action that I dislike but when I realized that my younger sister was getting bullied at school, that dislike turned into hatred. Movies portray the people getting bullied as the so called geek, or the so called dumb person and the person bullying a huge jock. Never would I have thought, under these stereotypes, that my sister would be one to get bullied, much less expect those who were ones her friends to bully her. She would come home everyday and go straight to her bedroom and fall asleep, or so we thought. It wasn't until one afternoon that my brother called her out for dinner that we realized she would go to her room to cry. Of course, when we asked her why she was crying she did not tell us the truth right away. Instead she said it was a really bad headache. However, we noticed that this was going on everyday and after an hour of questioning she told us that a group of four boys and a girl had been bothering her everyday at school. When my mom asked her for the name of these students, she realized that these were friends of my sister who had even come over to the house just to play. We all became furious, and right the next day my mom went to school to talk to the teacher. They had to involve the principal and when being questioned, three of the five kids cried and all five were told to apologize to my sister. one of the boys even took her a little gift the following day as a form of apology. Even though in this case the principal's involvement intimidated the children, this is not always the case, especially when it is at middle schools or high schools. As much as schools try to prevent bullying, there is not really anything that they can do stop it 100 percent.

My Favorite Movie

Because I like two movies almost equally as much, I couldn't decide which one of the two was my favorite movie. These two are Frozen and Pitch Perfect. These movie are completely and totally different yet they both became my favorites. The one similarity that does exist between the two, however, is that they are both musicals, therefore there is a lot of singing done. Singing is one of my favorite hobbies, making most of my top movie choices musicals.  I loved Frozen because it teaches little girls that the Prince Charming is not always the one that has to rescue the Princess. A girl is just as capable as a guy to do the rescuing and most Disney have depicted the male as the only rescuer. However, this movie does not do such. Although, it was an animated movie and the target audience was children, it definitely taught even teenage girls a lesson. All the songs in this movie were catchy and just made me want to sing along, which is probably the main reason why I like it. Same thing goes for Pitch Perfect. All the acapella singing made the movie much more exciting and the dancing that went along with it only made it even better.
