The Metropolis of the Modern Times

Modern Times and Metropolis are both black and white movies made during the 20th century. Both of these movies were considered silent movies and extremely successful, though Metropolis wasn't successful at first but it eventually caught on. Modern Times has voices and sound effects but the way it was used made it remain a silent film. Like Metropolis, Modern Times use title cards for dialogue; They also used voice here and there though it's often filtered or distorted in some fashion, never truly directly to someone. Despite the usage of voice, Modern Times and metropolis are both silent movies.

Birth of a "Star Wars"

D. W. Griffith, the director of "Birth of a Nation" left various skills of film making within the industry. Cross Cutting and editing remained an important part of the film. Star Wars of course, has much greater quality in it's acting and production budget as opposed to the 1960s movie.

German Expressionism

To express oneself is to show people one's feelings and thoughts. The German's movie making heavily depend on lighting, the already limited amount of colors, and the extremely far fetched looking stage sets. They uses an awful lot of contrasting black and white to keep a particular perspective or mood (often dank and dark)

These are the main elements the Germans use to pour out their thoughts and ideas within a movie.

You're wrong!!

Dear Robert De Niro

I have recently watched a movie which revolved around some hotshot where it should've been about me but enough of that. I know a thing or two about acting myself and I know that you did actual good. I disapprove of how you showed my style of teaching, I'll have you know that I only spent 3/4ths of that scholarship and I was saving the last piece for a new rifle. I demand you either redo the movie or compensate for my ruined reputation.

-Dwight.

PS: Conctact me about your desicion, this is no joke, you hotshot.

IN AMERICA!!! -Bandit Keith

The American Dream, rumored to be that single family house with a wife/husband (depending on thy perspective) after giving birth(on purpose or by accident) to a pair of twins.(or at least two children).  Living where the air is clean and the commute doesn't murder.

It's proven difficult and almost impossible as we read the books that Schraiber provided.

"The Natural" = Baseball Hero / downfall!

"Fahrenheit 451" = Governmental official with status / DOWNFALL!!!

"Therou in jail" = Simple man with simple needs / JAILED!!!

Etc etc.

That dream is available but...  Many sacrifices are made... constantly.

Hammered and Wasted!

Not really...  this is about the Poem "Wasteland" by T.S. Eliot, not me getting drunk.

1. The woman, fiddling with her hair and... then plays it like a harp?...  Music somehow comes out and it sounds rather sad...  That's right, music.  The melancholy tune rings throughout the land.

2. The squealing of the bats, flying back and forth, the flapping of their wings and the woman, still playing her head of harp- I mean harp of head- I mean harp of hair.

-A long day-

The bloody blade stood over the pile of the defeated

It stood tall and proud; under the thin layer of victory juice, it shone brilliantly

The trim of gold shining in the setting sun showing the end of the skirmish.

A soldier with a feather fitted helm climb the pile.

The footing: harsh yet insecure, the pile, moving and vibrating as if to throw off the soldier

It's Vigilance is all he needed to climb the stock and grip the sword.

The shine only increased in magnitude and glory.

A single lug, the soldier, now general.  drew the sword out of the backside of his enemies.

The scene was now: picture perfect.

Technology and science was what brought this country together and what also rid this country of diversity among the people's daily lives.  Back before the radio: "The life of a regular American is that there is such thing as a 'Regular' American."  People had their own forms of entertainment that differ from one town right into the next.

Following the styling of that phrase perviously mentioned.  "You gain similarity to lose diversity."

Technology is indeed a great thing, but unknowingly, we give up the things people consider to be the "elements of the good ol' days".

Army of One in front of the Army of All

An individual may not have the strength to convince society to change...  but an individual may have the strength given the conviction to change parts of that said society and thus, that society picking up equal force and increase that magnitude by 30-fold, and send that power glass-ward!!... I mean society-ward

The individual doesn't have that strength, but those he/she affect may.

The line that can't be crossed... or at least shouldn't

The line, the great line of which people like myself thrive upon for no apparent reason but it is just so much fun.  I wouldn't know how to live if not for that little blurry of great fun and full out unacceptable.

Honestly, there is nothing I would think of to be completely unacceptable...  if done correctly.

See like, religion, it's only appropriate if the teacher doesn't force the idea upon anyone.  If one were to read it and to be attracted to the idea, it is their own business.  But an outside force of an upright standing rank such as a teacher or a member of the government cannot show favor nor hate of a group no matter what.

Racial Slurs plus

Even though racial relations are much more stable and better on both sides but seems to be against a new group of people, Huck personally wouldn't quite care due to his light-hearted and simple outlook on life.  Jim however, would feel much better about the possibility of being kidnapped and then pulled back into slavery is gone for good.  YAY~!  No slavery.

Though there's a chance Jim might not like the new selection of the racial slur catalog.

If there is a book out there... TEACH IT!

Teach teh book!!!

Not entirely sure why people are so offended by this book...  Are they so simple minded that they can't look pass the little words and usages that they can't actually think what the meaning of the book is really about.  Not to mention the situational irony that how everyone assumes that blacks are troublemakers when all the real bad people were themselves.

Sure the little speeches from the non-main character are a little hurtful...  But that's how it be around that time...  It's important for an author to be consistent.

YAY HUMANITY~!~!!

Blog 2 : Humanity is just about one of the greatest evil in the world.  Sure you may believe humanity can have some good... 

Nope~!!

That's false~!

Those few good people out there trying to make a difference is kinda like a murderer sparing a single person so that he would be at ease that he isn't a TOTAL bad person and be able to sleep at night, one stopped death and his guilt is lightened enough for him to go sleep at night without a care and continue on...  Possibly killing again.

Like humanity as a whole, there are a few people repenting and humanity as a whole feels better then goes on it's way with warring, usin' resources and etc as usual.  Humanity needs more shame in order to stop themselves from destroying everything.

"Satire has no effect on this guy..." -Veigue

Satire is a form of comedy of which depends heavily on the mocking and the absolute ridicule of it's subject.  The concept of satire as a whole is to make fun of anything that has even a small bad side and can be multiplied 10000-fold.  All while done in good will and in good sense of humor in hopes of improving the subject mind you.
