Blog 13: Minority Report response

 As we can see In "Minority Report" people live in an Utopian world where they completely got rid of murder by looking into the future and locking down those people who are destined to commit the murder way before they commit the act. They believe they live in this perfect society but they're wrong. They're wrong because life is about living the present not a lot of good things will come to you if you know things that might happen way ahead of time.

 It sounds really good to being able to look into the future and protect the humanity but not knowing whats going to happen next its what makes life worth living. It's like watching a suspense movie, the suspense makes you want to know more and more about what's going to happen next. It wouldn't be excited anymore to live a life where you know whats going to happen the day after tomorrow.

  After they knew who was going to commit the murder act they would look for them and lock them down. Why would they do this? instead of warning that person of what they know and tell them not to do it and just have them on lock down but in their own houses. Humanity isn't perfect and I believe we should just live life and whatever happens... happens. We should be able to have our own privacy and beliefs we're not all the same and we can't make this humanity better than what it is already.

MOMI activity

 While on our trip to the Museum Of the Moving Image I realized that the movie industry is full of history. Every single thing has its own history. How the recording cameras went from white and black to color. How the television went from heavy and huge boxes to what we have now. I also noticed how in this industry there's a lot of hidden secrets and how they use a lot of fake things and make them look like they're alive. It was a great experience I learned a lot of things from this trip.

      According to George J. Annas in his essay (The man In the Moon) he tells his readers that “The new ideal human, the genetically engineered ‘superior’ human, will almost certainly come to represent ‘the other.’ If history is a guide, either the normal humans will view the ‘better’ humans as the other and seek to control or destroy them, or vice versa” (236). I believe that he’s right and everybody in this world can relate to this statement. Everybody no matter how important that person it is by other people he might considered to be ‘The other’. For example in the world we live in now one big problem that has been going on for decades is when immigrants are put down by people because they come from other countries and they think they should go back to their own native countries. Immigrants are considered to be 'The others' when it comes to immigration and this shouldn’t be like that because we're all humans and it doesn’t matter where we're from. In Gattaca the invalids are known to be the other and for the invalids the perfect created humans are the others. This is what Annas is trying to show us. He's trying to let us know that you might consider a group of people like to be the other but for them you too might be the other.

Blog 9: Hero (REVISED)

       How do we really know if some of the things we watch on TV are real? That was one of the many doubts that the movie “Hero” left me in my mind. We should be very careful choose very wisely when it come to Television programs and where we get our information’s from because some of them are suppose to tell us the truth and sometimes they aren’t really honest. Sometimes they just give us false rumors and tell us lies and tend to leave some good information out, because they might think that is better if we don’t know the real deal. The movie “Hero” directed by Stephen Frears get this major point across by letting whoever watch this movie that we shouldn’t trust in everything we see or hear on T.V, because sometimes the things they say aren’t 100% true.

       In the movie Bernie Laplante committed the heroic act by saving many of the people from a plane that crashed and it was about to bust in flames while he was on his way to pick up his son. After committing this act he left the crash scene really fast and he didn’t stood there long enough to get his recognition for saving some of this people’s lives. Bernie told his close friend John Bubber about what happened last night and how he saved many people from a plane crash. We then see all over the news that they’re searching for Bernie to give him a million dollars for being a hero. Bernie is sent to jail and isn’t able to go and get recognized as the hero and this is when John decides to still Bernie’s identity.

     John is believed to be the hero during the whole movie but he really is not the one. The news channels didn’t know about this until the end of the movie when they really find out that Bernie was the famous and mysterious man who they’ve being looking for best known as “The hero”. After finding this tout the news channels prefer to keep this as a secret between them. They never tell the people who are watching their news the truth because they don’t want to loose their viewers trust and they don’t want to look bad because they have a good reputation. They made this guy John Bubber to be recognized as a hero and many people loved him and they already gave him a million dollars because they think he was the one who saved the people from the plane crash. How bad will they look if they now tell their viewers they have been wrong all this time? Telling their viewers the truth will mean major disaster to the news company and they would loose most of their viewers and their rankings will go lower and lower, and they will loose a lot of money in this process. To them is better to hide the truth than to tell who the real hero is. That’s why Bernie tells his son at the end not to believe in everything he see on T.V.

      Next time you turn on you’re T.V just know that whatever they’re informing you about might not be an hundred percent real to you. The media is many times is hiding things away from us the viewers. They lie because they know that at the end of the day we’ll end up believing them and we believe In most of the things they inform us about because they’re known as to always telling us facts and not lies. The media is like a secret society like the NASA . Only them know the real side of the story and I don’t understand why they believe is good to just feed us false rumors sometimes and hide us from the truth.
