The Marxist lens examines the relationship between social classes: where the power lies and why. When viewing Don’t Hug Me I’m Scared, through this lens, the symbolism behind the setting, the character Roy, and “Red Guy” becomes the show’s most critical features. Tied together by the plot of the show, these critical symbols emphasize the fatal flaws of Western culture. When analyzed through the Marxist lens, Don’t Hug Me I’m Scared by Becky Sloan and Joseph Pelling argues that in a capitalistic society, the bourgeoisie class engrains the ideals of capitalism into the minds of those more vulnerable in order to perpetuate a system that encourages unfair distribution of power to the wrong people. But it also highlights that in order for individuals to

The PBS video, Merchants of Cool is about the merchant and media outlets that target the teenage population with their estimated $150 billion annual spending power. The video looks at how these merchants, through both pop-culture and teen surveys (i.e. cool hunting), give the impressionable teenage market what they want and what today’s top five enormous companies push them to want. Newscorp, Disney, Viacom, Universal Vivendi and AOL/Time Warner are responsible for selling nearly all of youth culture; they are the true “Merchants of Cool”.

I was very nervous when I first entered Jim Gunshanan's class. I had no idea what transmedia was and how I could use it to write. Jim showed me and the rest of my classmates the way. I never realized how much of my daily life was consumed using the tools transmedia creators use. I never knew until Jim's class that I can useFacebook, Twitter, and Instagram to tell a complete story. I truly feel my talents will be used effectively in the field of Transmedia. I will always appreciate Jim's class because his was the first class I was allowed to actually film what I wrote. Filming my Transmedia project is the absolute highlight of the program. I loved going into the woods and filming on the backlot of the school. Being in Jim's class allowed me

In "The Merchants of Cool", the relationship between significant media combinations and their teenage clients is analyzed through investigating the diverse strategies commercial ventures use to find and market the following "cool" thing. Commercial ventures keep up what the narrative alludes to as a "criticism circle" with their clients, which is a cyclic, supply-and-request relationship that hazy spots the line in the middle of fiction and reality. It has ended up difficult to tell which side is copying the other: who do the items and patterns that characterize prevalent youth society have a place with? Besides, the sexual and forceful hormone-energized practices on TV and in music characteristic in youths or would they say they are counterfeit

Merchants of Cool was a very informative video. I learned just how important and influential teens are in todays economy. The constant changing of the definition of cool puts an increasingly large demand for companies to quickly adapt and reform their appearance to obtain maximum profit and revenue, which is the main argument of this entire film. I learned that no matter what is “in” for the moment, could mean nothing the next day. This market is the survival of the fittest and if you do not have the man power to keep up with the constantly changing trends, you should just fold before you lose all of your money. The video really opened my eyes to how much the teens base their lives around what it means to be cool or for a more real definition,

The freedom of thought and the concept of fundamentalism: these are the two sides of an age old dispute. For as long as anyone can remember, The Bible has fought a great war with the concepts presented by of modern science. With each year that passes, the case for both sides continue to grow, and at the heart of the Monkey Trial lies this very battle. While the trial itself can only be based on factual occurrences and the word of eye witnesses, a film based upon it can be left to the interpretation of its filmmakers, and their views on the particular subject matter. In the film Inherit the Wind, directed by Stanley Kramer, the filmmakers chose to advocate for the side supporting the freedom of thought.

Throughout cinematic history movies have either hinted at or shown violence on screen or made it so the audience interprets violence occurring. In the beginning movies would either show an over acted incident such as being shot and flailing as someone falls to the ground or they would have the sounds of a violent act occurring without the camera showing it. This had changed dramatically over the years of cinema to today’s standards where people can be shown getting shot and violence occurring everywhere from movies to television. In movies such as the original Scarface (1932) you see people get shot and over acting without blood being seen by the audience. In Psycho (1960) the shower scene is violent but we do not see her being stabbed but

It always amazes me in slasher films that no one in a small rural area has a gun to protect themselves and if they do it’s always in the hands of someone who acts like he’s too scared to shoot the person that is trying to kill them.

While at the trailer park, they run into a trio of killers known as Dollface, Pin-Up Girl, and potato sack Jason. The killers have an urge for 80s pop music and putting knives to faces. The family must survive a night of hell in the middle of nowhere and no way to contact for help. There things to like and things

With watching the film Makers, it showed me how women pushed womens rights and never gave up no matter what. The films were inspirational and motivating in my eyes with also telling me that women can do just as much as a man. With Katherine Switzer being the first woman to run in the Boston Marathon, I think it motivated women to be more open about their home lives. What is the big deal with a woman running in a marathon? Well, the film reminded me why that was and it is because men felt like they are the only ones that should have the power. I saw how this effected women and the fact that the women came forward to make sure that their voices were being heard shows that women will stand their ground for what they believe in.
