Motergeist, A Film Analysis

Improved Essays
Being able to cope with dead bodies has always seemed hard for me to do. I’ve watched a lot of movies of people working with the deceased. Only thing I don’t understand is how do morticians do it. There has to be that one nerve that makes them feel un-easy about being surrounded by covered up dead bodies in an enclosed room. I just don’t understand how the deceased don’t bother other people. I can’t fully say that I am all the way un-easy with being around dead people because I stood in front of my grandma when she died. The feeling was so un-real but I just knew I couldn’t just leave her room without seeing her one last time before the morticians showed up at her home. Now I will say that it was very hard for me to sleep that entire …show more content…
My only reasoning for that statement is because of the movie called Poltergeist. The movie is based on ghosts who are lost and want to find their way back home. In reality I know that isn’t true, but life works mysteriously and I have been curious for a while to know if anyone has been to Heaven and Hell at the same time and what it’s like. As crazy as I might sound writing this, I want to know where the hell I’m going and what to be prepared for when my spirit leaves my body. I pray it won’t be anytime soon, but everyone has that one thought that just seems so ridiculous but something that has to be figured out. In the Poltergeist a family of 5 moves into a house that has been vacant for more than 49 years. The youngest son gets a weird feeling about the house when he first stepped foot inside. The youngest daughter makes a friend that night with the lost people behind her closet. For some reason the closet wouldn’t open but whenever the daughter touched the door handle her hair frizzed up. It didn’t take her too long to realize that she was being set up by the lost …show more content…
On the way to Papa Vito’s I asked my mom why she was up so early. She hesitated to tell me at first, but then she told me that she had a nightmare. I asked her what it was and she finally said it, my mom dreamed that she woke up to go use the bathroom, but when she walked in she felt someone else’s presence in her room. She stepped outside her bathroom door and she saw herself smiling. At first she didn’t know what to do, but then she said she saw her mirrored reflection smile harder and wave nonstop. A few seconds later her reflection jumped up, did a karate kick and cut off her ceiling light. My mom screamed my name but heard nothing, so she knew she was dreaming. After my moms’ mirrored reflection cut off the light she ran into my room and ducked by my T.V. as if she wanted to play. It really scared my mom because she is going on 40 years old and still having nightmares. Scary part is that my mom wasn’t smiling, but her reflection

    "Wanted" is basically from a comic book that has limited series written by Mark Miller and J.G Jones, it is about an amoral protagonist (Wesley Gibson) who is discovered as the heir of super assassin. Russian director, Timur Bekmambetov, he is the cream of the crop, he turns this comic into a movie that make the viewers not sit still and make their adrenaline and cortisone levels spike with the actions.
