Holding her hand finding a companion, so he isn’t lonely. I love this movie. There are so many cool things about it. First is that there’s no dialogue for about the first half of the movie, they communicate by cool sounds and is really funny. Also even though this was a cool pixars child movie, it also had a scary truth to it. It shows a possible future for humans in two ways. We are either gonna fuck up the earth even more until it’s dangerous for us, or that we will become lazy and rely on technology as it takes over. Even Though a lot of thing that seem impossible would need to happen it’s still scary. I like that this pixar movie about a robot in love can have a dark background being there the whole time.

500 Words on The Social Network

The Social Network is a movie based on the origins of how facebook got started and the guy that made it. Mark Zuckerberg is played as a smart asshole that doesn’t really care about others or about actual social events. He’s seemingly emotionless, but his actions prove otherwise later in the movie. He goes to school for programming and is really good at it. The movie opens up with him on a date with his girlfriend and ends up with her breaking up with him. Clearly to everyone that it was his fault, everyone except him. He insists that she did it because he is a nerd, but she tells him it’s because he’s an asshole. He goes home and get drunk. He decides to talk shit about her on his blog. At the same time he makes a website that has him hack top college internet security and take pictures of every girl. The website shows you various girls and you decide which one is hotter. He gets a lot of views that get him noticed by members of a Final Club, which he desperately wants a part of. They notice his skills as a web designer and ask him to make a website for them, He says yes, but never does, He makes a better similar idea, thus Facebook is created, These members try to sue him and his friend for stealing their idea, but Mark swears that they didn’t use any of thier code and made a better idea and website. The site gets popular and expands out to more places. Mark and his best friend Eduardo start seeing it as a buisness, but have different views. Eduardo wants to try and market slowly while Mark wants to make big progress fast. Eventually the guy who started nabster finds them and helps Mark turn the website into a big company behind Eduardo’s back. Mark even tricks Eduardo into doing stuff, Mark is now very wealthy, but has made a lot of enemies from being an asshole. Eduardo and the Final Club members sue Mark. This is how the rest of the story is told. In the court sessions where it’s from flashbacks from the main characters, but not at the same place or time. They would show a scene and then go to one of the people describing it as if they were telling someone about that scene  the whole time. In the end he gets sued and ends up alone. This whole movie had a couple themes such as Greed and identity. I think identity was the main one. The identity them showed itself many times.The identity of our generation and how we all interact relating to facebook. The way people were nosy about other peoples info and wanting to have friends on there and how important it was to add all these people and be a a part of it.I enjoyed this movi a lot and it was the first time I seen it, so it was all new to me.

I hated this book

400 word Children Of MEn

 Children of Men are a film that takes place in a futuristic dystopian world. The world has gone to shit and only London being a safe place, but even London is messed up. Humans can no longer have babies and segregation.  Anyone that wasn’t from there was sent back or put in concentration camps. The movie begins with the youngest person in the world has died. He was 18 years old and that lets the viewer’s know that something isn’t right. Everyone is in tears because it signifies how close the human race is to total extinction. The main character walks out a coffee shop after hearing the news and shortly after gets blown up. He looks back as if it’s nothing.  He ends up helping the only hope to save mankind, by helping the only woman who has gotten pregnant in years. Throughout this movie the director uses some cool camera techniques. He uses long takes about 7 minutes long. That is something that many people haven’t done. I think the action and suspense is more dramatic and interesting that way. There’s also this scene where the main characters are in a building and there are broken windows all inside. Two of the main characters are talking inside while the pregnant woman is outside in the background. During this conversation every time you see the woman in the back ground she was shown clearly in the holes of the window and never behind the dirty glass. This film technique was supposed to show that the woman is a sign of hope and joy. There’s another technique he uses that has the camera follow the main character. It makes you feel like you’re in the movie looking through the eyes. It has you turning your head with the camera and feels realistic and cool. This movie had a cool story on dystopia and somewhat possible problems we can face in the future. It also has a lot of cool camera work that you have to pay attention to notice.

400 Words on Eternal Sunshine of the SpotlessMind

In Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind is a romance movie starring Jim Carrey. Not seeing Jim Carrey in a comedy movie made me think I wasn’t going to like it adding to the fact that I don’t even like falling in love and then erases each other from their memories, literally. They find each other again and fall in love again then find out about their previous relations and start again knowing it might repeat. I thought this movie was cool because they weren’t your typical couple. They didn’t have any ridiculous obstacles they had to overcome to be together. They mutually broke up because they didn’t like each other anymore and had real problems. They both go to a place where they can have the other person wiped completely from their mind. To do this they must get rid of every single thing they have that relates to the other. Then they go to their homes at night and undergo the process in your sleep. During Jim’s procedure he wanted to stop it and was trying to hide in his memories while saving his memory of Clementine, his girlfriend in the movie. There’s a cool camera technique they use when he’s in one of his childhood memories where he is hiding under the table. The movie makes it one scene, but It took many takes because it switched from his view he is a kid being played by a different kid actor. When Clem is looking at him he is Jim Carrey. They both however fit under the table which means that they had two different tables for the scenes. They also have the beginning of the movie really be the ending which is cool. There is also the part where he is in his memories and the movie goes from romance to sci-fi action. Cars start falling they are traveling memory to memory. It gets more dramatic and fiction like. This movie was a good romance movie that wasn’t lame like other ones, and very cool characters and an interesting story.

Animal Farm 400 words

Animal Farm by George Orwell is novel that is written like a fable. The story is full of animals that represent certain kinds of people and has a moral in the end. This novel uses examples of dictatorship and communism as themes for the farm. Each character represents a certain kind of person. The whole story revolves around farm animals wanting equality amongst each other and humans. Old major, who was an old boar, was someone all the animals looked up to. On his deathbed he spoke of an upcoming rebellion and teaches them the song Beasts of England. The song is like an anthem to them. His final speech and death sparked the rebellion amongst the animals. Two other pigs decide that it is up to them to start the rebellion. Napoleon is a big pig that gets his way with intimidation and force. Snowball wins others with great speeches. They use the term “Comrade” which gives them the characteristics of famous dictators such as Stalin. These two use their charm and leadership to convince the animals to kick Jones out. Jones is the farmer who is seen as the current dictator. The pigs describe him as an evil drunk tyrant. There are other important animal figures that represent the people who follow the pigs. Boxer the horse is a loyal hardworking follower that everyone looks up to. He will do anything the pigs tell him. However he is also gullible and dumb. He sometimes questions his orders, but only briefly and then dismissing them. He represents those who blindly follow dictators and do what they say without thinking. There are many other animals, but the pigs are the main characters. As they slowly start deceiving the other farm animals more and more, the pigs have a struggle for leadership. Napoleon refuses to share leadership with Snowball and runs him out the farm. Since then Napoleon has said that Snowball was a traitor the whole time, and becomes a scapegoat. Anytime something goes wrong Snowball was the culprit. As things get worse the pigs start doing things that are now obviously wrong to every animal. They move into Jones house start wearing clothes. The animals are stunned as to why. The pigs start getting more violent and executing animals. The animals are wondering if it was better with Jones around. With most of the animals gone or dead there is no changing the way things are. The way the farm is now described like a labor camp. The pigs are now associating with other humans and walking on two legs. The farm animals peek in on them one night having a night with business men. To their terror they could barely tell the difference between the humans and pigs. The ending has them turning into men while they were already representing humans. This is an analogy on how humans have acted just like the pigs in this story.

Moulin Rouge Review

The Moulin Rouge is a movie that takes place in France 1900. It's in the slums of Paris where the Bohemians live, or in the big palace like club, The Moulin Rouge. I thought I would hate this movie because it was a musical. I actually enjoyed it. It starts out with the protagonist crying and typing a story. This then transitions to the beginning of the movie. Throughout the movie  they express the theme many times. The theme being "The greatest thing you'll ever learn is just to love and be loved in return". The main character is Christian who is a writer who goes to Paris for inspiration. When he arrives he meets others that show him share bohemian morals and plans to write a story. Trying to book the Moulin Rouge for a performance he meets the love of his life, Satin the top courtesan of the Moulin Rouge. His first time being in love he is able to express his beliefs, finally knowing what it's like to love. Throughout many obstacles get in the way of their love, the main one being the duke. The duke is a selfish man who is funding the play and refuses to believe that Satin can love a poor bohemian.  They do get over these obstacles, but of course the story doesn't end so happy. Shocker. Satin has the consumption. As the duke leaves for good she drops dead. Their love finally conquered, and only lasted about 10 minutes. So sad. Her last dying wish is that she writes their story, it then returns to the beginning of the movie. Now knowing why he was crying and what he was writing. Having the beginning be the ending is a cool way of showing the plot unfold. The songs they sang throughout the movie were not from that time period which I thought made it better than a regular musical. other musicals have boring dramatic opera songs. The director instead incorporated songs from a different time, yet still make them relatable. this movie also had everyone speak English and none speak French, even though they're in France. There were also a lot of different and interesting camera techniques. These little things made this movie stand out to me. I give it a 4 stars.
