When a person annoys his or her community too much, they hire a priest to zombify him or her. The priest would make him drink a deadly poison from the porcupine fish. The person who drank the poison heart rate would slow almost to a stop, he would breathless and his body temperature would dramatically…

I found the video to be insightful and interesting. For instance, when I first saw that two therapists could have been overwhelming for a family but it seemed helpful. What I learned from the video is that object relations theory focuses on the internal unconscious relationships that people have that is different from their external relationships. I think this was shown in the video when the family did not address their feelings about the death Victor. The family rarely discussed the loss of…

could happen?” Fortunately, there are few films out there that have a very deep meaning to others. To others, they are just more than movies. What they watch allows them to keep on believing and always work for their dreams. The film “Secretariat” has a universal message and a very strong impact on the viewer. The difference between a movie that entertains people and a movie that sends a message to people is that there is a certain meaning in the film. In many action movies, there is no…

at Youtube videos, I was so interested in how the edits really made a difference. I would look at videos that the quality wasn’t good or the edits were done poorly. I would find myself making suggestions on how to make the edits better, or how the film process could have been…

world. He gave his readers hints in the book Catcher in the Rye“If there’s one thing I hate, it’s the movies," he writes. "Don’t even mention them to me.” this turned out to be very true because films are far from the truth and cliche. Scott Imad and Chris disobeyed Salingers request by creating a spectacular film that accurately depicts the book. The scenes we chose stood out the most in the book and were the critical scenes that really made the book impact the lives of young readers and…

In the movie Warm Bodies (Levine & Lieberman, Hoberman, Papandrea, 2013), there seem to be many connections to the Christian faith. The imagery of zombies and humans is always a powerful one that can evoke fear and excitement in the crowd who watches. Warm Bodies specifically interacts with the emotions of its consumers. For those whom have not seen this masterful work of art, the plot goes something like this: a zombie named “R” meets a human girl named Julie and instantly falls in love, but…

allegations made against the president, it mirrors the women that have accused President Trump of sexual harassment and assault. As the allegations are now garnering the attention of public media, I am curious to see if it will be handled similarly to the film; will tensions with foreign policy be escalated with events like the North Korea nuclear scare or the recognition of Jerusalem as Israel’s capital?

In many ways I believe sometimes the critical questions, get skipped because of the lack of allotted time. The next…
