Superior Position

Undeserved Misfortune

There have been many movies over the years where there has been undeserved misfortune, but the one movie that out bests them all would be the movie “I am Legend”.  In the movie, the main character loses his dog that he has had since he was a puppy. His dog dies saving his owner from turning to an infected person. In life, the one moment that I have witnessed undeserved misfortune was when a classmate of mine was accused for something that he didn’t do which caused him to get detention for the other person’s mistake. My idea for a film of an undeserved misfortune would be about a man who since Friday the 13^th has had undeserved misfortune because he did everything your not supposed to do on that day.  He has had so much misfortune that in the end, the only way to get rid of the bad luck was to get good luck, so he got everything that brings good luck. In the end he is able to get rid of his bad luck and now has good luck. 

Conflict

There have been many movies that have had conflict, but the one movie that I thought had the most conflict was in the movie “ Transformers”. In the movie, the conflict is that humans are unable to accept alien robots from living among them. There have been many conflicts in our society, but one of the biggest conflicts in our world is war between other nations for power. By using this conflict from life, the idea of the film would be a person who is trying to save society and another person who is trying to destroy it. The person who is trying to bring peace between nations, would have to beat the villain who is the one who always causes war between countries.  For example the villain would have been the one who caused World War 1 and 2. He is doing this for his own entertainment to see the outcome for the next war he would cause. 

Blog # 9 My Review of The Elephant Man

The movie The Elephant Man was overall the best movie that I have seen in black and white. I believe that it should have received academy awards because it had all of the factors that a movie needed such as suspense, plot, and a theme. I liked how the movie gives us a theme that you should never judge a book by its cover. I liked how every person had a specific judgment over John Merrick and then later on changed that judgment into a welcoming personality towards the monster. The movie also shows us that we are all in one point a monster; not physically, but instead mentally. The movie in the beginning gave me a disgusted look toward the elephant man, but as the movie progressed, I started to have sympathy towards him. The movie had a horrible ending although because John Merrick died in his sleep, but at the same time, it had an ironic ending due to John dying trying to sleep like a normal person. 

Blog # 8 My Name is John Merrick

Today, after being rescued by the circus people, I was put on a boat back to London and I am happy I can once again be united with the people who care for me instead of the people who abuse me such as Bites. When I got off the boat, many people who wanted to see my disordered body were following me which made me feel like a monster and not a human being. I let the people know that I wasn’t a monster but instead a human being just like them. After that, I went unconscious and when I woke up, I discovered that I became reunited with the people who love me as a human and not a monster. Ms. Kendall was gracious enough to give us box seats to her play and I was excited to see the theater for the first time. Dr. Treves told me that I wouldn’t be different amongst the people in the theater but instead like them. This response made me feel like I was not a monster but instead a human being. 

Post # 7 Welcome to My Nightmare

I’ve had many nightmares that have caused me to wake up in the middle of the night and make sure it didn’t happen, and one of those dreams that frightened me was when I caused a car crash. It was at the time when I was able to drive and while I was driving my family to my cousin’s house in Pomona, I accidentally hit a car on the side of me. Once I hit that car, it caused many other cars to crash too. When I got out of the car to check if they were ok, I saw many people have major injuries from the crash. Some of the injuries I saw were glass in a man’s eye, people had glass on their head, and some people lost their hand. Once I saw the damage that I have caused to innocent people, I immediately was shocked and woke up in an instant.  Now every time I practice how to drive, I make sure to always focus on the road and try not to distract myself with other things. 

Post #6 Compassionate Science

When I go to college, I want to study about engineering so I can become a mechanical engineer and help the world out with some of its problems so that it can become a safer place. Just like in video, I want to show the same compassion he did towards the world’s problem and not look away from the issue. Once I obtain the intellect I need to become an engineer, I will use it to help others just like how other people have helped me become the way I am today. I believe that the only way for society to improve itself is by having compassion towards people’s problems instead of waiting for a solution to appear into our lives. I believe that solutions don’t appear out of thin air but instead we make our own solutions to a problem with the knowledge and compassion we have towards others. 

Post #5 The Future

In the future I believe that everyone would be equal and that everyone will have a job. I also believe that in the future we would have robots that would be mostly be used in the medical field so that they have a better chance to help out the sick people. I believe that later on in the future, we humans would have found a cure to all the worst diseases and viruses such as cancer or Ebola. I also believe that we will have more improvements on technology such as flying cars that don’t run on gas or any other toxic fuels that affect our atmosphere. I also believe that in the future we would have teleportation devises instead of planes to take us to other countries. In the future, I believe that they would solve the problem of global warming so that we can have normal temperatures instead of having more broken records everyday.  

Post #4 Funniest Moment Ever

There have been many moments in which I have laughed so hard that I couldn’t stop laughing, but one of the moments that made me laugh the most is when my cousin got hit in the face with a soccer ball. That was the funniest moment because when we were playing soccer in the park with my relatives from my dad’s side, we were really into the game a lot that we would get hurt many times. Everyone was getting hit by the ball in areas such as arms, chest, and backs, but the funniest moment was when my cousin got hit in the face with a ball. At that moment everyone who was playing stopped and laughed at my cousin. At the same time we also went to see if he was seriously injured. It was so funny that when I went home I still laughed about it and everyday we play soccer with our relatives, I tell my cousin to pay attention to the ball at all times. 

Post #3 Modern Times Thoughts

The movie Modern Times by Chaplin was a movie that had all the characteristics it needed to have such as comedy, plot, climax and it was suspenseful. Since the movie was made in 1936 I would have expected it to be a more modern movie with sound but even though it was a movie without sound and color, it was a great movie. I liked how the movie pertained to that era’s problems and how even though their life was difficult, they would never give up. I liked how the ending wasn’t a depressing ending but instead an ending in which actually gave me a lesson I should use throughout the future. The intro was also good due to Chaplin relating workers to sheep, which shows that we are like other creatures in the world. Overall this movie helped me change my perspective on black and white movies that also contain no sound. 

Post #2 Bullying

When I was in Elementary bullying was not a problem in my school but when I went to Middle School, I witnessed bullying every time. I saw a couple of students being pushed around because they were new to the school and since they were “scrubs”.  In Middle School if you were a “scrub”, you would become bullied but as you move up grades, you become the bully toward the new students. I once witnessed a kid being bullied because they talked weird. The reason I believe that there was bullying in middle school is because we were at an age where we believed that only the strong can succeed at this level. I also believe that people were bullied because we weren’t mature enough to understand the effects that bullying can do to someone. Now during High School I have witnessed little amount of bullying because I believe that at this age, we are old enough to comprehend the consequences of our actions. 

Post #1 My Favorite Movie

My favorite movie that I have seen so far in my life would have to be The Dark Knight. The reason I liked this movie so much is because it has a lot of action and it has so much surprises. The movie itself has so much plots and it basically showed much of the comic book character’s origins. I also liked the fact that characters throughout the story changed their personality, which made me believe that each character couldn’t be trusted until the very end. I also liked how the main villain changed other people’s perspectives of how they looked at the world. The reason why I liked this movie so much is because it included my favorite superhero and villain in the same movie. In the end I also liked the fact that it leaves behind unanswered questions which keeps me wanting to watch the next movie. This movie overall deserved a 5 out of 5 due to having every necessity that a movie needs to have in a movie.
