Star Wars: Video Analysis

If Isaac Newton was to watch the clip from Star Wars, there would be many reasons why he would be sad. Many aspects of the clip go against his laws, Therefore, making Newton sad.
One example is that in the video there are ships flying. However, because there is no air in space, there is no air resistance, meaning there is nothing pushing against the ships so that they could fly. In Newton’s first law, he states that “Every body perseveres in its state of rest, or uniform of motion in a right line, unless it is compelled to change that state by forces impresses thereon” It is the law of inertia. This scene goes against this law because there is nothing pushing on the ship to make it move. So the movie implies that there is air in space, when really there isn’t.
Another reason why Newton would be sad is that in the clip little robots appear to be flying backwards towards the camera, in a fast state. This is not possible because there isn’t any air in space to push it backwards. The movie makes it look like there is. In the article Inertia- Forever, it states “Simply put, it means that an object will continue doing whatever it is doing (resting

In the article “How Roller Coasters Work”, its says “Inertia is the reluctance of a body (such as a coaster train) to change its state of motion.” So, the robot should have stayed in its state because there was no force acting on it. The ships are quite obviously in space, and because they are in space there is no gravity unless they are by a very large object that has a large mass. If they were by a very large object with a big mass, then it might be reasonable to say that the robots was being pulled by gravity towards the large object, but there was no large object to be seen. Therefore, it could not have been suddenly pulled away the way it

    From the first activity, I thought Bradley’s words were melodramatic but as the lesson progressed I realised there was truth to his perspective. Taking inspiration from my initial thought my group decided to exaggerate the first scene starting with Aastha, Erin, Georgia and Maddi who all played the roles of futuristic robots. They conveyed their role by having their face faced downwards and only when I switched the ‘button’ on with an elongated ‘beep’ sound they began to start operating. They remain stationary with a neutral facial expression, arms parallel in front and rigid body posture, to convey they could only be operated by human commands. I portrayed my role as a chef by walking very frantically and rapidly, furrowed eyebrows and a scowled…

    The first and one of the most important concepts I’m going to link the MS13 video to is, ‘Population’. The book states that population is, a target group to be studied (Henslin 130). The MS13 population first started in Hollywood but has nearly spread around the whole world. MS13 consists of mostly immigrants from Central America, but they recruit anyone that is desperate for an opportunity to change their life. This happened because members of the gang were usually immigrants from El Salvador that came to the United States.…

    This film impacted the way I evaluated my life. Considering all the hardships the people of Tooksook, Alaska endured: being treated horribly for embracing their culture, young children having to learn how to provide for their families at a young age, and traveling to places in rigorous conditions. Nevertheless, those struggles were forgotten when, the game of basketball was being played; it brought the whole community together as one. As a result: brothers, sisters, teachers, grandparents, parents, and all others from the community traveled many miles by sled even to witness their local team compete in the basketball tournament, the gym was packed. All the people were filled with despite their hardships, it showed me the game was greater than…

    The legacy of Star Wars still exists today partly because it was constructed by so many different philosophies and religions. The trilogy includes aspects of Taoism, Zen Buddhism, and even Christianity. Sometimes it is hard to find, but the teachings of Christ and the truth of the gospel are paralleled several times in the films in the morality of the Jedi and Luke Skywalker. With that, while the Force and Holy Spirit are alike, the Force is not the only small aspect of God in the films. Caleb Grimes, the author of Star Wars Jesus, brings up an interesting debate in his writing, which is the idea of the connection of Christianity and Star Wars.…
