The Movie ' The Forest '

“When we pay our four or five bucks and seat ourselves at the tenth-row center in a theater showing a horror movie, we are daring the nightmare”. When King says this he uses your imagination to put you in a practical situation at the movie theater that many people have experienced. The preparation for jump scares and nerves rushing through a person’s body creates an entirely new experience of excitement than being at a normal movie. A personal horror film experience that I have experienced was watching my very first horror film. The horror film was the worst scary movie I had ever seen and that was my first horror movie, but it was still more exciting than watching a normal movie because of the rush. The beginning of the movie said “BASED ON A TRUE STORY” which made my pulse race because I had no idea what was

In the movie Finding Forester there is many concepts throughout the movie. The Concept that stuck at the most is opportunity. The reason why is because, Jamal a teenager who didn’t have his father with him and wasn’t in a good neighborhood. Had a talent that only few possess in the world. He started out reading at a young age because his father abandoned the family. By reading and writing he knew that it would make him a better person. Would make him make smarter decisions than his father did when they left the family.

If somebody asked me what my favorite type of movie is I would probably say horror. I would say horror because it provides a thrill in me that no other type of movie sparks within me. When reading Stephen King’s article I realized there is more to a horror movie than just thrill, there is anticipation, and even suspense shown. In “Why We Crave Horror Movies”, Stephen King uses a mysterious tone and pathos to successfully persuade his audience of kids and adults into watching mysterious horror movies that will let you re-establish your feelings.

The Ghost Tree is an old sycamore tree that is famous for its stories and legends. Towards the end of the novel, Jenna goes to the Ghost Tree because that is where her and father would hang out during her childhood. Jenna goes to the tree to the tree to heal herself because that is where her father told her was a “place of healing.” During Michael’s childhood, the Ghost Tree is where him and Joe would hang out at. There was a rumor that if you stayed the night there, you would be able to conquer anything, but at the end of the novel, Michael realizes the Ghost Tree is about “facing things that haunt you.” The Ghost Tree plays a significant to the novel because Michael and Jenna both have dreams about the Ghost Tree and that is where Michael

The Light In The Forest, a novel by Conrad Richter, depicts the struggles of a young boy named True Son, or John Cameron Butler, who has been raised by Indians but must go back to his home with the “whites.” The story takes place in Western Ohio and Pennsylvania in the year of 1764 where the relationship between the Pennsylvanians and Indians is not great. Throughout the story, True Son learns the differences between the Indians and Whites, and how each group views the other. Knowing the views between the two groups, True Son things about trying to figure out which group he really identifies as and belongs to, which is one of the conflicts in the story. Through all the troubles that True Son encounter, the theme of the story is the true identity

Not many things in life stay the say anymore. You can expect one thing to happen but then all of a sudden its turns out totally different. There is a quote that kind of speaks to me from a movie called forest Gump “life is like a box of chocolates you never know what you’re going to get”. It’s so true but we as humans, we adapt we take on these changes and we adapt to them. I’m going tell you about a big change for me about seven years ago the move that changed many things for me.

Spoken by Joseph Campbell, myths “support a certain social order and define humanity under any circumstance.” The film Dances With Wolves tells a fictional story that expresses those two mythological functions through the journey of John Dunbar beginning as a United States soldier and becoming a part of a Native American tribe, the Sioux. Through this transformation, the mythological functions help define what it means to be a true human being. A true human being is someone who has become so aware of the multitude of cultures and ideologies within the world that they have the ability to recognize the greater good within them and be selfless in the decisions surrounding that. A true human being only acts in an evil way when it is necessary

Cabin in the Woods is about a group of five friends who travel to a cousin’s cabin for the weekend. Once there, they quickly release a horde of zombies upon themselves and chaos ensues. Despite the typical beginning, this movie attempts to put a fresh spin on the classic horror model and somewhat succeeds. Along with the group of friends, several workers appear to be directing the action from behind the scenes. They provide a sort of unneeded comic relief from the disaster occurring above them. The humor and drastic change of scenery takes the viewer away from the horror landscape and draws them out of the engaging and scarier story in the cabin.

Throughout the entire novel, the forest is a symbol for mystery and wildness, a place with no rules, where anything can happen. Inversely, the town is a symbol for strict orderliness, where people

The forest, throughout the stories of Roll of Thunder, Hear My Cry and sequel Let the Circle Be Unbroken, symbolizes the protection the forest provides to the Logan family and their community. For example, when the fire spreads through the Logan farm and threatens the forest, it draws a huge gathering of people to help extinguish the fire. This shows the forest’s importance to the community. Furthermore, through all that happens from both novels, the forest continues to thrive unharmed and provide sanctuary to the Logans. For example, when Stacey leaves, Cassie and the others tend to take walks through the forest and take the sweet gum.

The forest past the town represents nature. Here, Arthur openly comes to terms with his sinful behavior and repents in the nature. He feels free from the pressures and strict rules in the town. Pearl and Hester also act more freely in the forest. Hester takes her hair out of her cap and lets her hair down, where as in town it is pulled back and hidden because she is supposed to act more reserved.

     The setting of the dark forest represents the devil's home. It's a place where one would picture the devil living because of the darkness. It is a place where very few would normally travel very deep into. The forest is like sin.

Further, King goes on to state that when we watch a horror movie, “we are daring the nightmare,” meaning we are almost begging to be scared. King also states there are multiple reasons for this, but one of the main points is “to show that we can, that we are not afraid.” He then appeals to the audience experiences by making his paper more relatable and comical when he compares horror movies to roller coasters. King states, they are both usually liked by the young, but once their age reaches to the forties or fifties, “one’s appetite for double twists or 360-degree loops may be considerably depleted.” Additionally, King uses his clever collage of comparisons to explain one of the horror genre’s many intentions are to show us right from wrong. Which might also provide some of us with “psychic relief,” throwing ourselves in a place where intensive questioning is unnecessary, giving people a small break from their complicated daily life.

Horror is designed to scare, cause alarm and dread, while also entertaining the audience at the same time in a cathartic experience (Dirk, 2016). Horror films are meant for a specific type of audience that enjoy scary films. Dirks (Tim, 2016) approach to genre horror, is that films went back as 100 years ago, from the earliest days our vivid imagination in seeing ghosts in the shadows to be connected emotionally of the unknown, and fear things that are improbable. You watch a horror film, it makes you aware of the scary surroundings, the essence of fear itself, without actually being in any sorts of danger. Dirks argues that there is a fun and thrill factor in being frightened, or watching something disturbing. It gives you that feeling of an adrenaline rush, as well as having that feeling someone is actually next to you lurking in the dark (Dirk, 2016).
