The part of the story told by the movie the move that was the most powerful was how the poachers treated the mountain gorillas. The poachers only need the hands and the head of the gorillas to sell, and most didn’t take any of the meat. In the movie they showed a band of gorillas and their growing families, and how they interacted with each other. The focus was on one particular family, the father, mother, and baby gorilla. When the poachers attacked it was frantic as the camera moved around, giving off a sense of panic. Then when everything was over in a matter of seconds the camera focused on the father gorilla. Laying on the forest floor without a head and arms, this part of the movie made me see how real a situation and what a true tragedy
Freedom of speech, the First Amendment to the United States Constitution, “Congress shall make no law respecting the establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or the press; or the right of the people peacefully to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances.” The First Amendment is a primary tenant among the liberties our forefathers intended to be bequeathed to future generations of Americans. They sought a world better than the one that they were born or immigrated into under British rule.
Throughout the whole film, the directors reeled people into the film by conveying emotions and feelings and with how the documentary is all about the abuse of Orca whales at Sea-world, they had
From this scene until the end of the sequence, Kubrick plays with different editing techniques. When this ape is observing skeleton, the shot cuts to a low angle shot of the monolith. This shows the audience that the ape is thinking about the monolith. When the ape smashes the skull with the bone, it cuts to a shot of a dead tapir. The quick-cuts of the crushed bones and another cut of a beaten tapir illustrates that the apes are no longer scared of tapirs or any other predatory creature. It gives the apes a sense of power and dominance over their so called predators. This method of editing not only becomes an insight to an ape’s thoughts but it also seen as a depiction of mankind’s predatory instincts. The music also invokes the feeling of power because it indicates a connection between the outskirts of space and this major breakthrough of human evolution. As a result of evolution, the apes have a newly-developed intelligence as well as a dietary change that primarily consists of
and beards. The silverback is the leader of the group. He is the father to all of the young in his group, and he likes to play with the older ones. Sometimes there are two Silverbacks in the group, and they share the responsibilities of leadership, but one is usually more powerful than the other. and then there are the young and their mothers.
The Oregon Trail's most dangerous set back was The Rockies, an immense mountain chain that stands over 14,00 feet high. U.S Westward Expansion and Manifest Destiny caused numerous emigrants to venture west, taking on the lethal challenges that awaited them. Westward Expansion impacted the cultural practices and migration patterns of Native Americans, African slave population, and early American Settlers.
The last part of the video shows the lost boys being re-united with their family. This is probably the most heartwarming part of the documentary. Back in Africa, children are shown singing songs upon one of their arrival. One of the lost boys shares a picture of a woman who was chosen for him to marry. The aftermath of the film shares their upcoming success upon moving to the United States. This shows different cultures can be adapted no matter how different they are from each
My favorite part about this movie is that there was very little talking, yet there was so much language and expression being portrayed. I think it almost puts us in the perspective of the infant. There was some talking in another language but I did not understand it, this is the same for a baby. They hear the talking but do not make sense of it. Instead in this video we must rely on our other senses to get the story. We need to vigilantly watch the setting and body language of people to understand what is going on. We cant just half watch and listen like we all do to other movies we aren’t interested in. Like an infant, we must use more than just our hearing. There are three topics I want to bring up that jumped out at me in this movie. The first is the immense amount of communication skills present as an infant. Then, I want to touch briefly on some imitation that I saw. Finally, I want to compare the four babies and how their language skills are culturally affected.

Planet Earth is the one and only home for humans, and it’s their natural duty to protect it and all of its inhabitants. For many people, the fate of animals is of little importance, especially when there are so many of their own species suffering throughout the world. However, only when one has respect for nature can he or she come to appreciate for his or herself. In the past few decades, some animals have progressively come closer and closer to extinction. When compared to demographics 30 years ago, less than 5% of tiger and rhino populations remain in the wild (Congressional). The main culprits for this abominable crime against nature are avaricious poachers who seek personal gain and profit. Poaching is the illegal killing of
This event is newsworthy because due to the fact that gorillas are on the endangered list, some people may think that it was incorrect to kill Harambe the gorilla- more people would want to know about the situation. There's been a huge swell of social media critics against the mom and the zoo. Arguments over human responsibility are being raised, as are debates about gorillas living in captivity and questions about the ethics of having zoos in the first place. By providing the public with this information, the media is allowing the citizens to have their own mindset and view about the situation.
In 1994, the Rwandan Genocide forced over a hundred thousand refuges to the Democratic republic of Congo (DRC) which would soon be in a 7-year long civil war. In 2011, some institutions decided to study how that had affected the Grayer’s gorilla. A combination of illegal hunting, civil unrest, and habitat loss led to an 80% decrease in population. In 1995, there were about 17,000 and now there are only 3,800. The Grayer’s gorilla, along with the other 3 types of gorilla, is on the critically endangered list. They are the largest gorilla, growing to be over 400 pounds, and they only live in the remote forests of eastern DRC. One main reason they are going extinct is because the mining groups located near their habitats and controlled by armed
Later, the sequence shows an ape holding the tools and hitting the ground with the tools along with a dramatic non-diegetic sound emphasizing the significance of the scene, and this scene also foreshadows that the violence will gradually get more serious relating to the human society later in the film. Other then the sounds, Kubrick also uses jump cuts from the ape to the monolith, then back to the ape followed by the animal bodies hitting the ground, finally cutting between the ape and the tool hitting the ground. With the shots, Kubrick exaggerates the violence to call attention to the action, so introducing how violence will play an effective role in the rest of the film, as well as how violence influences the behavior of human as they
Omega Gaming entered the online casino world in 2012 and have been on quite the wild ride ever since. Each time they create a game they seem to put together something truly creative and entertaining. They recently released Eye of the Pharaoh, which shows that there are no signs of stopping this runaway wave of momentum anytime soon. There might be many games based around Egypt and Cleopatra in 2016, as the market is practically flooded with them, but Omega Gaming have managed to create something different, which appears to stand out against the masses.
Imagine the world without hunting laws and regulations, the ecosystem would be unbalanced. Beneficial hunting would go down and possibly lead to certain animal species extinction’s; therefore, to avoid detrimental changes in the ecosystem, people need regulations and laws to keep balance. Both society and the environment play a role in maintaining a balance between each other. For many years game wardens have helped patrol and protect the untamed environment. There are times where problems will arise and can be very difficult to handle, yet there is always a way to solve these problems. It just might take some time to put the plan into action to make a change.
The director pulls the viewer into the struggle to survive and what it feels like to be hunted like animals.
