My Film Job

For me personally, i would like to be the producer or the screenwriter. The reason i want to be a producer is because i like to be in charge. Not in the "i-like-to-boss-everyone-around" sense. It is simply because that is the type of person i am. I like being in charge of due date and i am responsible enough to hold that position. Also, i do not like not knowing things. i like to know everything and be in charge of things and how things should be done as well as taking others opinions into consideration. If i do not get the producer position, i would like to be a screenwriter. I love writing. I love making up stories or simply getting a real life example turned into a something scripted. I love being able to write about things the way i want them to be or how i see things. Not only that but its a comfort, for me, to write stories and it's just amazing being able to write a screenplay and see it come to life.

Conflict

Conflicts in movies are so much more different than conflict in real life. Gone Girl is a book that was recently made into a major motion picture. It was really successful although the book was better. In both the movie and the book, the conflict was that the wife disappeared. That conflict became a much bigger conflict when the town started to blame the husband, Nick, for the disappearance of his wife, Amy. In a real life conflict, it is less dramatic than in the movie. An example of a real life conflict, i think a real life conflict for everyone is trying to be who you are in a society that is very judgmental. There is much more horrible conflicts that happen in real life, but at our age, it is very hard to be who we are. We constantly change as we grow, therefore no being able to express who we are in the present is hard to evolve to be the person we really want to be. That would be a great and simple idea for a film. To just talk about how it is hard for teens to express who they are because people will and forever judge. 

Review of The Elephant Man

This was one of the best movies i have seen. It was very eye opening and very sad. I really love how the characters, most of them, evolved throughout the movie. Especially, Dr. Treves, he really showed a great improvement in his character. He started as the man showing John off to his colleagues to not hesitating to hug John. I am not going to lie and say i was not shocked when i saw the deformity John had, but i was not disgusted. I am a bit squirmy so yes i could not look at John for too long because i would get super squirmy. As the movie, progressed i fell in love with him. He is truly an amazing person. John Merrick is simply beautiful. He is this adorable, human who loves to build Cathedrals and watch plays. When he spoke for the first time, i felt an emotion i cannot pinpoint, but i felt warm. I felt sadness because of the way he was treated but the fact that John did not let that affect his happiness and was still happy even after everything truly shows the type of person he is. Overall, this movie was really good, it made me realize that no matter how you look you are human. 

My Name Is John Merrick.

Another person has come to see. What else is new? Every single day i feel less and less like a human. I hear Bytes come in and I hear another person come in. This is different. It is only one person. Not the usual crowd. I do not want to go through this again. I feel so ugly. and scared. Every one always laughs and laughs and i never fully understand why. I hear Bytes scream. It is almost showtime. I hear the curtain drop, here it goes. Bytes tells me to stand up, so i do. I turn around when i am told and i see a man standing, but he does not look scared. He does not look digested. Most people, well everyone, who comes to see me always look disgusted, that is the first reaction. Their face full of disgust and fear. I turn around, i feel like a robot. I do not even feel human. I know i am not an animal but every day i slowly began to feel like one. This mans reaction, however, was very different. Never have i once seen this reaction before, i am totally confused. He is cried, a tear feel from his eye. This is unusual. i am confused. i do not want to feel like this anymore. i do not want to be the clown for everyone. I am just like them, I am not an animal. I am not an elephant man. I am John Merrick. 

Welcome to My Nightmare

I have never really had any nightmares. Those dreams, those that are just so hard to think about and talk about. I usually never have those types of nightmares, they are usually you’re typical someone is chasing me or killing me. That is not really scary. Until recently, I had the worst nightmare ever. It took my worst fear and made it seem so real. In the nightmare, my family and I were at this lake. We were in a cabin at first then we were suddenly at the lake. There were huge, gigantic ships surrounding the cabins. Suddenly, the ships started to sink and they were turned around and were falling on top of the cabins. My parents and my brother were on the deck and I just saw a ship fall on them. it was quiet at first and then I see my dad come out of the water. He ran towards me and started looking for my mom while I was crying looking for my brother. My brother’s hand popped up and I pulled it but I couldn’t get him out until my dad helped me pull him up. My brother was crying and my sister suddenly appeared. I started freaking out because I couldn’t find my mom. We were all crying and looking for her.  I do not think I able to explain the fear I felt when I couldn’t find my mom. I was thinking the worst thing ever. It felt so real; I woke up crying and out of breathe. I do not want to experience that anytime soon, or anywhere in the near future. I know at some point they will be gone and she will no longer be here but I don’t want to experience that feeling I felt in my dream anytime soon. I felt as If I was really going insane. I couldn’t think straight or see correctly, I just wanted my mom to appear and hold us. That nightmare was the worst one I have ever had. Fear is a really horrific thing. People use our fears against us, to make us feel vulnerable and weak. I fear not only loosing my parents but a lot of thing. I fear many, many things.  I usually do not share my fears because I feel vulnerable sharing but in this case I am sure most kids with a heart are scared to loose their parents. 

Compassionate Science

People have the power to change the world if they wanted to. Science is very important to our generation simply because technology and science will be the future. Scientist are able to do so much with their unique and amazing skills. But what does it really take a scientist to say build an arm for someone who is missing one or find the cure to s deadly illness? I believe it is the compassion and the heart the possess. Caring about someone's well being takes a lot, especially if you do not know them. Scientist are working day and night to find answers and cure for people who really need them. Mike Ebeling is just one example of the few who has a giant heart and has this immense compassion towards others.He used his skills and knowledge to help people in a tiny village that was bombed, he helped Daniel get an arm. It takes a lot of care and kindness in the heart to use your kills for the best. I just think it takes a great, giant heart to do thing that people like Mike did. In this world, people like that are hard to find. People who empathize and do something about the problem are very rare. 

Future

Technology is what will be the future. We are in 2014 and there is technology that simply blows my mind. I am not talking about there being more cars, or computers. I am talking about how in the future the future is going to be technology. There will be a technology for everything. Not just computers or flying cars. I am talking about robots and machines that are deadly. Technology will run the future. There are so many things that are being invented right now that are just so scary to think about. Yes we may be advancing but i think that at some point in the future technology will be deadly. Our government will become corrupt. They are going to be controlling. Not that i am stealing others ideas but i honestly think that our government is going to become totalitarian. It will all be controlled. I also believe that sometime in the future, not sure if its ten or one hundred years from now, but we will have a World War 3. There is so many things going on in the world that none of us are aware of. The government does not let the people know what are some things that they are hiding. The people do not know anything, which is why when we least expect it we will be in a war. Probably even worse than the last two world wars because not only because we are way more advanced in the weapons but there will be deadly technology that can black out a whole country or just kill an entire city with just one push a button. Government, technology, wars are just some things that will be the future and in the future. Also, global warming and the whole issue of water may be getting worse or can start to look good. No one knows what the future will look like but what i do know as of right now, even if things can change or predications may be wrong, the future isn't looking so bright. 

Puns

The very last time i laughed really hard to the point where I was crying was on Saturday night. I am a sucker for dumb jokes and puns. I really find them so funny, like they are the things i go to whenever i am feeling sad or upset about something. I was texting my friend, and he is the only other person that i know that shares the same love towards them. We were texting and I saw this really funny pun about the song Blurred Lines and I just had to share it to someone. Therefore because he was the only other person that really likes them, i sent it to him. And we were both dying of laughter. Then, he begins to send me some that he really likes and I was laughing so hard. i really could not stop laughing.After, we just began to send puns back and forth. And all of them were hilarious. many people do not like puns because they are stupid, but that is the reason why I love them. They are just really funny to me. On Saturday both, him and I, were dying of laughter, I was crying at some points. They just made me really happy.

My Thoughts on Bullying

It is no surprise that many people think bullying is wrong. I have seen bullying happen and even if i may not be the one that is being bullied, I still sympathize with the person that is being bullied. I am really against it therefore if I see it happening i step in. I have not experienced it where it gets really bad just a few comment here and there. I was taught from a really young age that calling people names is something i should not do. I was taught to respect others no matter who they, what they say, or how they treat me, I am the better person. I really, really find bullying disgusting. It sickens me to know that there are people out there who find joy and humor in hurting another person. What goes through there head? What is the reason? The bully must have something going on in their personal lives that bullying others makes the feel better. Or as simple as they just want to be funny. I truly believe schools do not do enough. Yes, there is that one poster where it says to stop or the detention hour or suspension but none are really making a difference. I feel as if they should really go more in depth on the punishment. Not hit them or anything just get them where it hurts the most, their ego. I do not know what schools should do but i know for a fact that giving detention, suspensions, or calling their parents is making no difference.

My Favorite Movie

I believe for everyone it is almost impossible to be able to pick a favorite movie. For me it is really hard to pick a favorite movie because right now I have two favorite movies. One is a movie that i do not think many people my age have see it is called August Rush and the other I believe most people my age have seen it, The Fault In Our Stars. Let's talk about August Rush. I absolutely love August Rush, it is an amazing movie. I believe that the film had an amazing plot and every scene was well shot and it had beauty in it. August Rush or Evan was a musical prodigy. He told people he can hear the music and it will lead to him finding his parents. The actors portrayed their characteristics very well and they each were very special. Whenever I watch this movie, I feel so calm and the music is beautiful. Every song in this movie is just amazing. I love the fact that the mom played the cello and classical music while the dad played the guitar and rock music. The mixture of those two made really beautiful wounds. I love the fact that they mixed to types of music genres together. The Fault In Our Star is my other favorite movie not because it is a love story but because it shows how hard people with cancer have it. I am sure the book doesn't justify how hard it is but it gives an insight. This is one of my favorites because of Augustus Waters. He has such a positive out look on life and it is amazing to see how even though he is dying he still manages to have a smile and joke about him having cancer. It impacted me because i truly got a feel on how cancer can ruin someone but Gus, even if he is just a character, he showed that it is possible to have cancer but have a positive attitude and not only that but experience love even if it is the last time.
