The future is one of the most uncertain things in the world and a thing that humanity has been trying to figure out for centuries. Humans have never been comfortable with the things they can’t understand. We always want answers, and if we are not able to get them, we invented them. The history of humanity is full of our constant obsession with the future, what will happen to the human race. We know the past or at least some of hit. The future instead has always been a mystery, what can happen, will alien invade us, will the world end because of a nuclear war, or could mother nature get her revenge on us. The truth, well we will have to wait to get it. In the meantime, we have invented a way to imagine what will happen and also a way to shared our point of view of the future with others. Movies and our ambitions of the future have always been on the same side, that’s why every year Hollywood have 10 movies or TV shows based on someone perspective of the human’s future. “Snowpiercer” (2013) is another movie based on the future, on how we will end up destroying each other because of our ambitions, but at the same time is something more, is deeper than the vague future.
I definitely like the movie even thought is indeed a movie that belongs to a cycle of movies we have been watching over I may say the past decade. These movies all belong to the same genre, they are futuristic movies based on our destruction. For some strange reason we are obsessed with our extinction, it’s
This Movie and short story of Minority Report is a great thriller, and gives a really cool look at what life in the future might be like. If only we had Per-Cogs to predict the future to stop crime today. To only know what the future has in store for
In the 21st century, America faces various threats and challenges to its authority as a growing world power. These threats and challenges help define America’s role as a growing world power in the 21st century. As a large nation, America faces a plethora of issues and continues to compete against other world powers. America today is plagued with various economic, social, political, and military problems, with little or no simple or practical solutions available.
We all watched Elysium, and it was about two separate worlds. Two different kind of people with two different life conditions. Elysium gave me this idea of what’s going to happen to us in the future is the advancement and complexity of what’s happening today. The movie helped me to realise earth and technology are enemies and we all are dangerously improving, now by this I mean there’ll be a day, humanity doesn’t exist and people will forget the earth and where they’ve come from.
Everyone wonders how the future will be. What will change, what will stay the same? Everyone has their own views and scenarios on the future just as Brave New world and Divergent do. Brave New World and Divergent both take a look at the theme of social stability by analyzing setting, perspective and control. They both depict the future to be divided into five factions or castes where everyone is designated to a specific one. However, that may not always be the case as these two works show.
The future is a thought entertained by most people, wondering where our civilization will be in twenty or maybe even one hundred years from now. Many stories take place in the future; a few pique the interest of viewers, becoming movies or short films. The short story “Harrison Bergeron” shows the future trying to achieve equality but failing miserably. While the words written by Kurt Vonnegut describe and set the tone well; the short film takes it a step further. 2081 uses lighting to show the enlightened, Harrison and the jaded, Glampers.
What will happen in a couple of days? a month ? a year? or twenty years from now? The answer is not known. Author Ursula K. LeGuin gives us the answers about the future from her point of view which can be seen through her article Science Fiction and the Future and her novel, The Lathe of Heaven. Ursula K. LeGuin believes people try to control the future they may have when in reality they have no control over the future. Every single day we see examples of people trying to control the future and see the situation fail every single time.
A viewer of this film can put themselves in this movie (which 2022 is only four years in the future) and get the sense of hopelessness and fight to survive. Rust writes.
This film got it right because I am sure that many people can relate to this film. Many us have probably gone
Julia Fincher in the article, The Future Four: Why Olympic Gymnastics Team Will Have Four Members in 2020, states that in 2020 the Olympic Gymnastics committee will be cutting the team sizes down from five to four members. This is a disadvantage and an advantage and can be argued from both sides, this article argues from both points of view.
In this essay I will try to explain why visions of the future are so
The movie is very realistic and maybe can leave some people scared. The reason that I liked the movie is because of how the movie is unfolded and how things start to
During the 2000’s, the word apocalypse petrified and frightened humanity around the world knowing that the world will soon come to an end. Post-Apocalyptic films illustrated the importance of catastrophic events as the films worked their way up into popular media during the 2000’s and how the world itself changed creating diverse conspiracies and predictions on how and when our planet will come to an end, which frightened humanity. The 2000’s are when post-apocalyptic films began to explode in popularity. Due to environmental and social trends which became popular during that time period, these movies showed the importance that humanity will survive no matter what apocalypse may come. The major focus of these films is to show and give humanity
Do I recommend this movie? Yes!, yes I do it was a wonderful film and it did have some kind of personal effect on me as well like I personally think that this movie was made so you can see what the problems are in terms of the real world. To me the problem was leadership and control. The main reason the decepticons were there was to gain control and live to benefit themselves and their planet. Near the end there is a betrayal for position, in terms of who’s in charge. So I feel like in this world society has a painted picture of how everyone’s family should look. And I feel like people are fighting to gain that position of power or leadership to make changes either for the better or for worse it all depends on the person’s point of view. So in this diverse country how can we learn to accept eachother and ourselves? well i think that the best way is to provide empathy and have
The most critical social problem of the 21st century is Capitalism. Capitalism today is what use to be the color line as defined in the early 1900s by W. E. B Du Bois as: the question of the relation of the advanced races of men who happened to be white to the great majority of the undeveloped or half-developed nations of mankind who happen to be yellow, brown or black (Karenga). As Du Bois researched the color line, Capitalism in America is a systemic system of oppression transcended through time and space. In the 20th century, systems of systemic oppression were overt and known methods of suppression, alienation and repression, while today they are more covert in both practice and those who oppress.
Willy Brandt once remarked:” Western Europe has only 20 or 30 more years of democracy left in it; after that it will slide under the surrounding sea of dictatorship” (Crozier, Huntington, Watanuki, 1973, 2). It would seem that democratic governments have become increasingly unable of facing “the challenges of the modern world”. Specifically, democratic European governments have become increasingly incapable to adequately represent the interests of the governed, while economic growth has also produced forces within nations that could potentially lead to the potential “regression”(Crozier, 1973, 49-50) of European states from democracy into tyranny (Crozier, 1973, 49-50).
