Had to share...

...this video of a 29-year old woman, born deaf, after receiving a hearing implant, reacts to being able to hear her voice for the first time.

Overall

Throughout the first hour of class i thought it was helpful getting feedback on how people seen the movie. I now see the main points to look after when the movie turns another direction. I feel as if now when I see a movie I will pay much more attention to it and the characters them selves.

Refection

In the pass hour of class my refection On structure writing has been on how can I improve in structure in writing, because I just don't want be average writer.
I never knew green meant love, I was thought red because the celeberate Valentine Day as red boy how society lie to our young youth, and they wonder why.

Really I cant think of a closing sentence cause break is over

NEWBEE

I have not seen any of the movies on the list, after listening what you guys had to say I would like to see American Beauty and Million Dollar Baby. It's cool to me how EVERYTHING in a movie has a purpose and is there for a reason. From the choice of lighting to the color of someones clothing, it's all symbolic.

Class Discussion

Today's conversation was great. I always thought of how i wanted to make a future, so that my kid's kid's could have something great to fall back on. Everything start's with me. They told us when we were kid's that we are the future. It makes me sad to know that all of my pier's don't feel the same way about that as i do.

treatment pointers

• a treatment just tells the story - and/or the angle on the story.
• it does not "assess" or "judge" - so no need to say things like "this is a great film" or "such and such actor did a great job."  those are assessements, judgments.  You just synopsize the film: the plot or the angle/style/idea.
• You also don't have to say "directed by so and so" or "released in 2010" - just identify the film.
• Remember:  snappy opening sentence and powerful closing sentence AND GOOD TITLE

2 films that deal with sociological issues

Just watched "The Adjustment Bureau" and "Clash of the Titans" and found that both films were interesting in that they both connect in religion, power/struggle, entrapment, love, and testing fate/faith/chance by making your own destiny regardless of higher powers that be. Free-will.
