A vacation without a prior plan, a pilot without a map, or a family without a mission statement, leads to chaos rather than a destination. A sense of direction and a common purpose to work toward is what a vacation, pilot, and family need to function fully and vibrantly. A vacation without some sort of planning will result in wasting the vacation time because of undecided decisions that need to be made upon arrival. A pilot without a map becomes aimless flying; a family with no mission statement is a family coasting through life, tending to not seize each moment because of having to plan accordingly to each moment. I believe that upon the engagement of a man and a woman, decisions need to be made. Long-term decisions, for example, what is the purpose of our family? As well as short-term decisions, how do we want to treat and speak to each other? These conversations should be discussed before a proposal to marriage. A mission statement for my family will start with our purpose. My family’s purpose will be to do our best to please and point to The Lord through witnessing and living for Him everyday of our lives. Whether at work, school, the grocery store, or in the comfort in our own home, our purpose will be to reflect Jesus through our actions, words, choices and lifestyle. Through living for Jesus and doing our best to please Him, we will be able to overcome the obstacles that will be thrown in our way. Pleasing each other will not be the priority of our family, pleasing…

tell the story about Christ’s death and resurrection. Then in 2004 Mel Gibson made his version of the movie and as I like to say brought it in to the 21st century with updated graphics, violence, and blood. The combination of images, faith, and history this film truly was like no other Passion of Christ movie ever done. The Passion of the Christ is a serious and deep piece of cinematography, it not just show us how much pain one man went through for us but it celebrates for the unbeliever the…

Hamlet the Play versus Hamlet the Movie The movie Hamlet and the play have many noticeable differences. The Hamlet starring Mel Gibson added and cut scenes and lines from the play. The director most likely did this so that viewers could understand Hamlet better. Overall, the movie kept main themes and the plot however multiple noticeable changes were made. The differences start immediately, the play begins with Horatio and the guards waiting outside of the castle for the ghost to arrive.…

For example, when William got captured he was brave as he stood up to the judge. The judge asked William, "Confess and you may receive a quick death. Deny and you must be purified with pain" (Braveheart 2:30:46). William had an opportunity to confess and pledge allegiance to the king but he refused. William said to the judge, "Never in my whole life, did I swear allegiance to him" (Braveheart 2:30:34). If William pledged to the king, his barbaric acts would have been for nothing. Wallace…

In a world where technological and scientific advances are realized daily, communication with people around the world is a common occurrence, and knowledge is becoming increasingly accessible, a wider window has opened for the individual to explore, discover, and/or create their ideal self. We see ourselves passing the times of idle wonder and theory of our past philosophers and intellects. The consequence, however, is that knowing yourself, as well as projecting and thereby sharing this self…

hard to read Hamlet. In the play, Hamlet seemed to be faking his madness for most of the interaction on stage, except for the scene in which he kisses Ophelia. This seemed very genuine, he takes a break from his “mad” rant, in which he constantly repeats “get thee to a nunnery.” He pauses and takes the time to show his love for Ophelia. This pause reveals to Ophelia there is sanity behind his madness, and that he is putting on a show. Because of the sudden break, the audience may be confused on…

People read about the history of Scotland, about how people suffered British imperialism and civil war that took place in XIII century. But for some people reading books about history is not fully enjoyable and some may find books boring. In order to deliver the true feeling of Scotland in the late 13th century and give educational words about hardship times, that would stick within the mind forever, world needs something in larger scale. Mel Gibson gave the world opportunity of enjoyment and…

Beep. Beep. Beep. The alarm next to my bed sounded. Looking up, the clock read 6:00. Time to wake up. Time to save the world. I might not look like much. Average height, average build, and an unmemorable face. None of that matters in the Matrix though. In the Matrix, you can be anything. In the Matrix, I am the most elite hacker in the world. Hacking isn 't like what it used to be. Used to be AI sat there covered in their ice and all you had to do was run a program to break through without…

Shakespeare 's famous play Hamlet. Since 1900, there have been over fifty films of this play have been made, and all have been unique in their own way. The 1990 version of Hamlet, starring Mel Gibson, is one of the more recent and popular…

the term is known as ‘white-washing’. An excuse for white-washing in films by their producers and directors other than the Charles Bunnett, is that the audience will relate more with a white cast. Those excuses seem to puzzle me a lot especially since history have proved against them. One example is Aloha (2015), the films cast Emma Stone as the female lead (Allison Ng) who is meant to be Chinese and Hawaii decent plus the casting of Caucasians as majority residents of Hawaii despite the fact…
