Movie

Over the weekend I watched The Village. I watched it because I saw it a long time ago and thought it was terrible so I figured that I would remind myself of that. Pretty much there are some people living in a village and it has monsters that attack it so everyone has to be careful. Well it turns out the monsters aren't real and they are all just living in an amish village. The main character has to leave the village to get medicine from the outside world and that is when she discovers the truth. The movie is pretty entertaining in the beginning when you think that there are real monsters, but once you learn that it is all fake the movie is ruined. I think it is a terrible plot twist that doesn't make you more interested like a good plot twist does, but instead makes you laugh and think how horrible the movie has now become. If I were making this movie I would have made the monsters real because they were pretty cool looking and it gave the movie some decent suspense. I'm not sure what my new plot twist would be but it would be a lot better than, "Oh guess what? This is an amish village and the cool scary monsters are fake, so run along now." I would would say that I hate this movie but it is interesting to talk with others about how bad this movie is so all I can say is that the movie is annoying and horribly made.

If there was an apocalypse in the future it would be a zombie outbreak. People would randomly start to get infected and by the time people realized what was happening it would be too late. Of course I would be fine because I would never let any zombie get me. No one will know how the first zombie comes about but then all the zombies have to do is bite someone to infect them and that is easy to do on unsuspecting people. Once I learned of this outbreak I would first head over to a gun store and buy a ton of ammunition and then I would head over to my cousin's house and borrow a couple guns from them. Next I would drive over to Costco and tell any remaining people I knew to go there too. Once enough people were inside we would start to close off ever entrance to Costco so that no one could get in or out. We would survive forever with all the food in there along with all the other fun stuff they have.

My future is very different from Phillip K. Dick's because in his future the problem is nuclear weapons and androids while my problem is zombies. If we were to somehow survive until a time when there were no more zombies then it is still possible that my future will end up like Phillip K. Dick's because technology will keep advancing. Eventually people will destroy the world and make advanced robots but that takes time.

In Blade Runner there is not much lighting when Deckard meets Rachel. It is dark and it is only possible to see a little. I think this is done so that the audience is focused on only certain things in the movie at this point. The dialogue is mostly asking short questions with short responses to them. The characters keep their dialogue to the point and they only say what they have to say. They do not show a whole lot of emotion to go along with their speech either. They answer questions easily and emotionlessly. The costumes show each character's role. Deckard is dressed like a detective would with his coat, Rachel is dressed up like someone that is just there to greet you, and the Dr. is dressed like someone of importance and knowledge. The way they are dressed is so that the audience can make assumptions about a character before they even know a whole lot about them. This way the audience is always thinking and interested.

When Deckard and Roy are sitting on the rooftop at the end of the movie sound, dialogue, and music are all used together to stir up emotion and get the point across. Roy just wants Deckard to feel empathy for androids so that is why he is talking how he is. The audience hears a mixture of the dialogue, music, and sound which helps make the audience feel empathy for the androids also. The music is very peaceful and slow and it goes really well with the sounds in the backround, which is mostly just rain. Deckard is speechless throughout this because his enemy just saved his life and is now dying right in front of him. The sound and music really play a role in conveying emotion to the audience because they are not completely sure what is happening but they know how to feel due to the music.

I think after Deckard is done in the movie he goes to live a peaceful life. He hangs out with Rachel for a little and then she dies so he is all by himself again so he just sits and does nothing. That is until he get the Millennium Falcon. Deckard then changes his name to Han Solo and flies over to some galaxy far far away. He then meets a friendly giant hairy dude name Chewbacca and they become best friends. Since Deckard is bored and he still has plenty of skills he goes ahead and becomes a smuggler. Han then fights off an evil empire and gets married. He now can live happily knowing that his wife won't drop dead at any given moment.

My research topic is the future of space travel. My research is going well, I have found many good sources that are of great help. The topic is tough but there are many intelligent people out there that have good insight on it. The main solution that seems possible is faster than light travel. To do this we would simply need to make something that bends the space time continuum and then we would move through just space and not time. It is an odd idea but scientists do think it is possible to achieve one day in the future.
