think this is interesting because I can relate it to my life in many forms of media, such as TV shows, social media, and music. There are certain TV shows that members of my family will put on and I won't be interested so I turn to my phone for entertainment. Also, I constantly flip through radio stations if the songs I don't like are playing. I find it interesting that as soon as we aren't interested in something from the media that we seek out another form of media to entertain ourselves and…

Gone Home has been called a walking simulator, where the notion of a simulator suggests an attempt to recreate reality in the virtual world. Gone Home does attempt to recreate the protagonist’s, Kaitlin’s, home in a realistic setting. Exploration of this home is based on interactions with items, discovery of objects in plain sight, and reading. As promoted on the game’s Steam page, there are no battles and no puzzles. Simple. The game is founded on a simple premise as well—coming home to find…

think that because we have televised events, and televised news, that we as a society are exposed to more things and ideas, and that would foster greater thinking and progress. Unfortunately, according to Postman, we’re more concerned with the entertainment value of everything we see on TV. Yes, we’re more exposed to what goes on around the world, but we’re less concerned about the substance and more on the flash.

Historical Period films, like any other movie, should have a good source of entertainment so the audience is not easily bored. However, one of the most truly important parts of a historical period film is the accuracy of what is being portrayed.

The Young Victoria is the type of film to do this. While…

I challenge you to eat a meal and not pick up your cell phone, to check Facebook or to check the status of a game you are playing on your phone. Look around you the next time your at a sit down restaurant or a family gathering and see how many individuals are using there cell phones instead of having a real conversation with the individual next to them. How many meals at home do you sit at the dinner table or are you in front of the television watching the next episode of your favorite program…

Even though the film is two decades old, the quality and the camera works of it is something comparable to today’s film industry. In fact, it was awarded for “best picture” for the 67th Academic Awards hosted by the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences. The cinematography of the film was very well programmed. A great example of this is at the beginning of the movie when Forrest first appeared on screen; the cinematographers used of the technique of zoom shot to shoot from high above and…

I believe that this is a very excellent film it talk about law and is very interesting and it helped inspire my opinions on the gun control topic and some of the views and ideas I have concerning this controversial idea about how the gun companies can get away with all the life’s they have took and all the stress guns cause now I am not saying guns are bad it is just the people who are bad there should be tight restrictions for guns that way they don’t get bought and sold on the market because…

Sadly, this new form of entertainment would eventually leave an unmistakable mark on the family unit and American culture as a whole. People could point to the age old argument that television is not reality and people should not be so easily influenced. Nevertheless, people are…

Film is used for a multitude of reasons not limited to entertainment purposes only and its contribution to social standard reform is evident in its work. Movies have been used to convey what can’t be easily spoken but expressed visually, artistically, and symbolically. Throughout every country, culture, and community, films have been used to express both ideas beyond the confines of reality and matters beneath the boundaries of morality. Films like Perez and Rashomon, setting aside their…
