My Film Job

The job I would like to do, would be an actor or a casting director. I think that when it comes to acting I can do an ok job, because when I'm around my friends I can be loud and a little outgoing so I won't be so camera shy. If i am not doing acting I would like to watch other people act and ensure that the people acting our movie is someone who can actually do the job right. I think I would be good for this position, because I can judge somebody's acting very well and since it is our group I will know what to expect from and what is required from the actors. I might also like to do the music supervision, because although it doesn't sound like such a big role, it is one of the most important ones, in my opinion. As the film "How to Disappear Completely" shows the song, it brings so much more emotion into the movie.

My Review on The Elephant Man

The movie was so well thought out, I really enjoyed it, and because it’s not like most movies we see today that all have one happy ending. The conflict of the story was ongoing throughout the whole movie and although it was a sad movie it was interesting and left us wanting to know what was going to happen next. It was such a sad movie that had us thinking why would John Merrick want to kill himself after he had finally obtained happiness and once he was finally socially accepted in a humane way. What I found most interesting was that it was based on a true story, according to Dr. Frederick Treves’ writings. The movie has a much deeper meaning to it that many of us probably would have never caught. David lynch had such a unique way of presenting religion to us. Through out the whole movie he was giving us a message.

My name is John Merrick

Today was such a memorable day. Ms. Kendall invited all of us in the hospital to go watch a musical play she composed. I had a great time, because I have always been interested in these types of musical plays. I have never been able to attend because no one has ever tried to be my friend and I have never been invited anywhere. I am so grateful for this once in a lifetime opportunity everything was so beautiful the actors were dancing everywhere, the music was so loud and lively. I really enjoyed the costume designs and all the thought put in to it. 

Welcome to my Nightmare

My biggest fear would have to be dying at a young age. It's something that scares me, because I wouldn't be prepared. My parents wouldn’t be prepared because I’m going to be young and I know it would be hard on them. I would also love to be able to live to a much older age to able to get everything I’ve always wanted. I would hate to die knowing that I’ve spent most of my life in school and never been able to travel which has always been my life goal. I’d like to know what it feels like to have kids of my own, a family of my own, and life of my own. I would also like to repay everyone for what they have done for me before we’re all gone, especially my parents. I’m also scared knowing that there might be something waiting for us once we are dead. 

Compassionate Science

I believe that in order to live up to Mike Ebeling's goals we must have compassion for people whom we've never even met in our lives. We must also be committed like he was, to go around the world to help people he didn’t know. In school we have learned many things but none of which can help us change the world. We have not been taught that in order to make this world a better place we must help one another. Mike helped all these people with the use of technology, we’ve learned the basic ways of using a computer but nothing up to Mike’s extend. I think that as students in this school we aren’t prepared to make such a change like Mike did. If we are really committed to what we want to do we must learn ourselves and teach ourselves what we want to do.

The Future

I think the future 100 years from will be almost perfect. There will be so many smarter people and the world is going to be so competitive. Each day people will be inventing new things and of course technology will be really far advanced. Besides there being smart people, there will be lazy people and the overweight population will increase by a lot because technology will do everything for us and we won’t have to move a finger. People will be creating their own species and other people will be modifying themselves. I think that in the future everyone will be having plastic surgeries. Right now some people have them and they are acceptable in society and by that time they’ll be so advanced that everyone will want some. There will also be different kinds of crazy foods and maybe also new species of animals who crossed with different ones. 

One time I laughed really really loud

I can’t think of one specific time when I laughed up to the point where soda comes out of my nose. I’ve had so many moments with my friends where we laugh for no good reason and it is hard for us to stop laughing because if one person says something someone else comes into the conversation and says something else and it continues until we are just laughing. Every time we go out to public places there are people staring at us because we can’t keep calm. Most of the time it is when we are making fun of each other and we just keep going at it. 

Modern Times

I really enjoyed the movie Modern Times, because it was different from all the other movies I have seen before. I have never seen a silent movie because I always thought they would be boring. The way that Charlie worked very hard to make every single part of his movie also makes you appreciate the movie even more. I like how most of the movie was based off comedy, with a little bit of romance. Even though it was a silent movie he didn’t lose the audience because he really knows how to keep us interested. We can all relate to this movie because just like Charlie and the factory workers, we all have to work day by day to make our living and buy what we want. At that time other people related to the film, because he showed actual events that were occurring at that time.

My Thoughts on Bullying

I have never witnessed bullying happening, but I have heard many events where it has gotten out of hand. The victim ends up doing something crazy because they can't stop what has been happening to them. The victim might be too scared to fight against their aggressor, but they have no other way to end with their problems. In our community, we sometimes hear of bullying happening, but it never gets to such extend, so for us bullying isn't much of a problem. It doesn't seem like such a serious problem, unless there are threats along with the bullying. You can avoid the bullying if you just learn to avoid the bully himself. I think that usually the people whom are getting bullied, often don't look for the help they are supposed to be getting. Sometimes they are too scared to confront their problem, or embarrassed to ask for help, bullying can be prevented.

My Favorite Movie

My favorite movie is The Family. It is different from most movies out there that usually have a happy ending or are usually full of romance. It is not only based on one genre, it has a variety it has a little bit of romance, some comedy, lots of action and drama. This movie starts off with a nice normal looking family and their dog but as the movie continues, they show how the family has lived all these years and how they are not so normal after all. It shows their background information and their struggle of being in the witness protection program and being involved with the mob. It shows different sides of the story and it also shows the point of view of the bad mobsters. I also enjoy how at the end of the movie there is lots of action involved and they defeat the bad people.
