Museum of Natural Art.

Field trip was quite interesting. At first i felt like i was in grade school again. I was gathered in the right group of people, which made everything quite interesting. The people in my group was Daniel, Omar, Lizbeth and Sabrina. We first scroll through the boring stuff such as dinosaur bones and such and then what interested me is the old age. Behind the glass there was models showing us how they used to survive and their living conditions. Apes was quite scary and I can tell the human body had evolve so much. Dear god we did evolve because i don't wanna be looking like a monkey. The sea animals of the museum was quite interesting. I was told that the insects was real but just dead and preserved. There was different types of roaches and the evolving of each species. The big lion looked very fierce, almost looked like it was alive. I bought my sister's camera which means I took many pictures of what interested me. I will soon upload some pictures. Of course not everything was visual, I did learned many new facts about the pass and the future.

Dark City. . & A vision of Students

It's a different type of movie made, it's another mind quiver movie. In this movie the scenes are always dark and it definitely can relate to matrix. It's about a guy in a world that's very odd. He woke up one day not remembering who he is or who is was. It's like everything in his mind has been flossed. In the movie there are these weird aliens making everyone sleep in a certain time and brain washing them changing their memories around. Im not sure for what reason but they constantly go around and giving people shots in their head and the next minute they will wake up and act like it's all natural. They want to mix memories around so they can see who has the human sole. Obviously, they found the right guy, His name was John Mardock. He has control that no other human has. He can battle the aliens and can destroy them. John made them realize that he is the one they need and looking for because he is "different". In another words, they looking for someone with special powers.

The video of visons of students today had made me realize things i've haven't seen. Financially, it's true people do make less than a dollar a day because they spend more than a dollar a day. People say laptop is a technology that has improved our life. Unfortunately i think not. People get their mind off things because of so much technology such as stay on the phone for hours and stayiong on facebook throughout their classes. Maybe, laptop isnt the best thing in our life during class time. This video shows us different perspective of students today, and it isn't wrong.

Simone

Simone is a very interesting movie. Let me just sum it up a little. Simone is a make believe actress all audited by computer. Its different pieces of history stars put together. Thats how she conceive her personality , characteristic and how she sounds. I like it because it keeps me thinking and predicting about whats going to happen next. While i was watching it i was predicting that Simone was to come alive or something and overcome her creaters power. I was hoping she would just pop out the screen while he was being questioned by the detective or police. It was so funny when he said "yesss i killled her let me go" lol i find it as such a humorous line. This connects to our media today and how they can show what you see can be not what it really seems like. Everything you see can be patrolled by computer, human , imagination and what not. Simone was a normal make believe but her creater had put parts of legends in her. Which definitely made her seem like she got it all. She got the body, attitude, voice, way of acting and hair. Every part of her belongs to someone else. It isnt hard to be someone else in Simone's case. Her creater victor had let his creation overcome him. He got so used to the fam and such he lost his inner personality. Again this movie can relate to matrix. HOW? well During matrix Neo needed Trinity's incouragement to his ears in order for him to be able to fight back and in Victor's case he needed his daughter and wife to incourage him and tell him that things has changed and his daughter had saved him from an acuse, the cops had acused him to be killing Simone. How would you kill someone that isn't real? I wonder all the time, if i stayed unknown and unseen, would people believe i ever exist? In the movie simone never did showed her real face and such noone ever truly met her formally, If i was to never shook hands with anyone or associated with anyone but only through telecom, do you think people would believe that i was real or fake?

Uncannnnnnnny. .

The "shadow" is something that haunt us. Once it has scarred us, then it'll scar us forever. It's basically a mental disorder. Some people got robbed before and got held by a knife in the back would most often, look back when they walk down a hall or a street just to check if their safe so they can calm their nerves down. Shadows like that, is better off left alone or be solved before it gets worse.

Everything, that might seem like it's there, might just not not be there. A way to compare to Uncanny with the infamous "Matrix" is that uncanny is based on imagination and the way you desire things is the way you picture it. Maybe the word "desire" isn't the right way to explain it but in the Matrix what you see is not what you think, what you feel might not be what you touched. Everything is a phrase. Uncanny, real life, matrix is just a definition of make believe or fantasy. Whether or not it's a good fantasy or a bad fantasy, it's still a fantasy. Fantasy relates to foreshadowing. Foreshadowing is a self conscientious situation, you picture stuff and imagine the negative stuff. That's why many people are very cautious and aware of where they go, what they do, what they say and how they think. Uncanny and matrix can relate to all these element and all these elements relate to how someone survives through the real world.

Open your eyes . .

My spring break is most definitely safe because i didnt do anything :[. Well i'm glad jason has enjoyed his vacation unlike some of us. Well, on a more important note i got to write about movies and themes. During the movie we watched in class last 2 weeks ago with the spanish artist, I really got into that movie and it really messes your mind up. When i was watching it my head was like WHAT? the things he did, he thought was real but truly didnt happen because he felt like it was a dream and it wasnt and what was a dream he thought it was real. At the end he really needs to stop the illusion because his whole life he was living a dream and if i was him i would jump off a building too if that happened to me. It's kind of scary living a life that you not even sure if its real and then when you wake up you live it all over again but then when you wake up you find out that waking up was a dream and illusion. Thats messed up.

Pre pre pre pre writingg.

Oh boy, the ideas in my head makes me feel like i can say alot because i really want to put my words out. I am not only doing this final project to get a grade but just to realize my inner thoughts to the class. Our topic is a must to relate to media of course because we're in the media cluster. I want to state what i want to write about and it's a large topic but i'll try to skim it down to a specific topic to one main thought. In order to state from there I would state the problem which is today's music media. The rap music is a good creation of music but throughout the years the songs has very sexual lyrics towards girls and i see a problem with that. It gives the world a icon that the sex females has a lower standard then man because in their lyrics we are most oftenly a toy, a fling, a one night stand, and in most lyrics a "bitch" or something you can "bang". I find it very disrespectful. Although some songs I understand they want to state the important of females in their SEX life but they used the wrong terms and ways of showing it. If songs like this continously change the way people look at women then women nowadays is going to go back to back in the days where woman has no right and no say because man is the main sex that everyone would need. I would go into a more smaller topic that has connections with martin luther king and rosa park because they basically risk their lifes for our freedom and we slowly let these victims hurt by letting music media change the faces of us independent lady.

Virtual Cinema

According to my past experience, movies such as "The Human Reaction" and the "The Royale" has been very similar to the movie "Matrix". It's very significant and it has a similar theme. The theme of all these movies is the illusion theme. All these movies has a sense of illusion and someone wants to take over their existing life or place. It's a miracle that i understood these movies because when you watch all these movies at once, when your tv shuts off, then your going to be falling into a world and believing what happen in the movie is happening to you. It's a kind of freaking feeling. In the movie matrix and the royale john and neo had similar similarties. There was always someone there chasing them just to get to what they want to succeed in their goal. As in the Star Trek, honestly I really didnt connect with the movie therefore i cant really make much connections to matrix. the movie lost my train of understanding the illusion world unlike the movie matrix and royale. Both movies show a sense of confusion in both main characters and victims. It's not that the people that are trying to take over their lives are harmful such as Morpheus and the Aliens but they just want to show these people that lives in the matrix what is REAL and what is an illusion. They just want to show you the truth and make them believe is better off living in the REAL world rather than the illusional world. If we look at different aspect, the movie MATRIX has many different way of looking at it. Ways such as religion wise, belief wise, and certainly the way your taught and rise wise. Things that might be common to you might not be common to someone else because the way you are taught and rise as soon as you were born and blessed by your guardians. Well that dont sound too right but you know what i mean. All these movies kind of make me remember the movie i watched from back when i was younger. The movie name is called Matilda, why? well it makes me think about it because neo didnt believe he can be the "one" when he actually belief in himself and he used his powers for good use and in Matilda's case she had the same situation and she used it on revenge. I believe every movie can relate to one another in one way or another.
