Kong: Skull Island

The movie, Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon, is a historical fiction. It occurs some time in China under a dynasty. Some of the events that happened in this movie relate to some of the material that we covered in class. One event that happened was when Jen and her family travels through the desert and were attacked by Lo and his Dark Cloud on horses. In my interpretation, I believe that Lo and his gang of bandits, displayed some similarities to The Mongols. As seen in the movie, they rode and fought on horses, were nomadic, and lived by raidings, which are things that Mongols are known for. They use horses for mobility and height against their enemies. When Lo and Jen are in Lo’s cave, he assumes that she is part of a Han dynasty, but she corrects

The theme of the film would be the plot or the character of the film and series. I think this because there’s a lot happens which would make the theme about plot or character. For Plot, they have all the action and the interesting things that happen throughout the movies of The adventures of Indiana Jones. He would seek lost relics and ancient artifacts that can be way too powerful for humanity to manipulate. Such as the nazis try to use the artifacts to their own greedy reasons. These things would fit for the theme plot. But it can also be character. Indiana Jones is an archaeologist that seeks many artifacts and relics. Yet some of those relics can change the future of humanity or potentially destroy everything. Throughout the movies, Indiana

Pans labyrinth is an intense movie of a young girl struggles to break free of the restraints of being a child and the cruelties of living through Spanish fascism. Pans labyrinth is anything but your ordinary ‘time filling’ movie. It has great depth and an intricate web of occult and archetypal symbols. Guillermo del Toro, the director, does not shy away from exposing the harshness of reality and the intertwined fantasy. This one of a kind movie gives you a rare moment to see the world with a different light. You begin to appreciate the beauty of Mother Nature and life. It brings up the question of have people living in the materialistic world of the 21st century lost sight of what is real. The movie’s compelling storyline, rich

First off, I love Mathias Clasen’s paper, about people becoming reanimated corpses or zombies. I would not know what I would do if my Mom become an undead monster, or worse, what if my father, who passed away six years ago, came back from the grave. Could I bring myself to kill them, (well kill my dad again because he already dead) or tie them up, lock them in my basement and just go to see them, like the movie, Shaun of the Dead. The dynamic questions come into that what are monsters within and without. Clasen talks about zombies being “dull creatures” and having one life goal, “to eat fresh and brains” (3) compared to vampires or werewolves, who retain their intelligence. Compared this cultures and looking from the outside on taboo monsters that are alive monsters (aliens, killer sharks, or killer humans), the undead breaks the code of

The Call of Cthulhu is a horror story that is able to break through and cause terror. The horror comes from forcing the reader to witness awful and unexplainable things happen to the characters in the story, especially without the ability to prevent the misfortunes from happening. It becomes terror because Lovecraft places the entire story in our reality rather then a fictional setting. Becuase of this, we are forced to relate the story’s events to our physical world. It inflicts a sense of danger by insinuating that the forces in the story exist around us. Lovecraft is able to effectively place the imaginary story in our physical world by arming the story in science and logic, using familiar references and locations, and makes you an unofficial

Close Encounters of the Third Kind was written and directed by Steven Spielberg. The story first starts off with a group of scientist that discover a bunch of perfect condition fighter planes in the desert that went missing in 1945. After that, a couple of commercial flights reported seeing a strange bright light, that they could not describe to ATC in Indiana. Widespread power outage hits Indiana and an electrical lineman, Roy Neary had an encounter with a UFO while driving. He chases the UFO’s until he runs out of road. While this is going on, a little boy named Barry follows the UFO’s out of his house after all his toys started turning on by themselves. His mother Gillian chases after him until she

The theme of this film is all about discoveries. Throughout most of the movie, the main protagonist Indiana Jones is getting or looking for treasure. At the beginning of the movie Indiana Jones was first getting this golden skull looking this but he got it stolen from himself. More later in the movie Jones then starts to look for the lost ark which is something that is not supposed to be discovered by man but Jones manages to find it before the evil nazi men have the chance to. All this evidence helps me conclude that the theme of this movie for sure is about finding stuff and making discoveries. I believe the filmmakers who made Indiana Jones Raiders of the Lost Ark was trying to teach us how to be adventures and to go outside and make small

The film “Pan’s Labyrinth” is a cinematic masterpiece of 2006, directed and written by Guillermo del Toro. Although the film is considered partly within the fantasy genre, several of the themes within the film reflect certain historical realities of post-civil war Spain. Themes of reality versus fantasy, gender roles, and children and war are developed within the film.

Similar to the films, most recently Mad Max: Fury Road, Mad Max is a game about the death of a civalation and the story of losing hope in a better tomorrow. The franchise has been able to capture your attention because of the need to hold onto something in life that is worth while to the characters and then watch it burn as it is destroyed by the ever dangerous and extensive Wasteland.

Genre: The genre of this book is fiction. I think kids my age would like to read this book because this book involves teens and it shows some scenes in which teenagers now can somewhat relate to. I do typically read these kinds of books when i'm assigned to do something I have to be interested in. If it wasn't for books like these I honestly probably would not read books at all. If i'm being honest I hardly read. Although I do like these specific books by Cassandra, but I’m picky as to what I will read.

What is the most mysterious video game you have ever played? The Legend of Zelda: Majora’s Mask is by far the darkest entry in the series (Beast). Majora’s Mask, the mysterious pastime that gave its creators nightmares, is not only one of the best participants in the Legend of Zelda series, but also one of the top games of all time. Even though it had a slow start, because Nintendo’s rival released the PlayStation 2, a few days after Majora’s Mask was released, in spite of this, it still claimed its spot as one of the greatest technological amusements of all time (Luckerson). Majora 's Mask received many incredible ratings, many of which were near perfect scores.

I am reading The Pillars of the Earth by Ken Follett and I am on page 200 out of 1000 in this book. This book is a medieval novel that takes place during thee 11th century and is about the building of one of the most important structures of the time, a Cathedral. The pillars of the Earth title refers to the pillars of the cathedral; however I believe there are better suiting titles for this book such as, The prologue of Macbeth, The Medieval Accords of the Construction of a Cathedral, or The Endeavors of an 11th Century Human. First, The prologue of Macbeth is an appropriate title.
