temp 451

So wow ha, that was an awful movie. It actually had some very intresting themes though, and most of the movie could be related to Nazi Germany in some way. Most of the characters all had the notorious aryan look, with the blonde hair combed to the side and the blue eyes. Another thing that made me think of a Nazi related subject was when the wife turned the husband in. This made me think of how many German citizens would turn in people who were hiding jews, and they would get a reward. Also when the woman died when defending her house, that reminded me of how many German citizens tried to hide jews. The whole secret library was very similar, and when that other girl came home to her house being boarded up and that is what happened in Germany. People who hid jews would competely just go off the radar.

Objectivfied Movie

       One of the things I found really interesting in this technology movie was the land fill topic. I had never really thought about how much stuff we use and how much and how big land fills must really be, because every person uses about the same much of stuff, and people are all over the world, so where does all that garbage go. Like are their underwater just piles of trash, or mountains being formed. Like in the future there could be entire mountain formations that are made of just trash.
       Another thing that really caught my attention was a quote at the end. "We used to think Africa  was so far away, but with our connected world we could really make a difference." When I heard that quote I thought to myself that is really true. When you think about the other side of the world it seems almost none real, like it is on almost a different planet. It just seems like there is nothing you could do to make an impact on anybody over there but with how teched up our world is now, we really could make an impact.
      Lastly what I thought about was how weird it is going to be living in say twenty years. We already think that the world is super high tech now, but think about how weird it is going to be. Like honestly the possibilities are endless because people are just getting smarter and new technology keeps coming out. I guess I just feel like it is going to be mind blowing with all of the new technology that will be available to us all.

Bad Scenes of a Blade Runner

The scene where Deckard is killing the android Pris was completely awful. The acting by the Pris character when she got shot was probably one of the worst "deaths" I have seen in any movie. Also when the fight started Deckard was getting his face beat with Pris's legs? Like come on that is not realistic at all and if that was actually happening then Pris would not have let go with her legs and run away to do cart wheels, she would of stayed on top of him and beat him to death instead of giving him a chance to kill her. Overall I just did not like how the scene was written or played out, it could of been a much more realistic fight and much more entertaining.
