However many viewers do not realise that documentaries are only a version of reality. Moore exploits this ignorance by employing the elements of documentary construction to create a misleading and manipulating relationship between the filmmaker and his audience. Constructing Lies! The first way in which he uses the construction process is by incorporating shot construction. This creates an impression between the director and viewers giving a more desired effect.
While I enjoyed the movie, I feel some important parts were left out. The beginning of the movie really moved quite quickly. I feel Hassan and Amir's relationship was not developed properly. One thing I was grateful for is that they didn't show the rape of Hassan - it was more implied, still heartbreaking though. I was a little upset that Rahim Khan didn't tell Amir that he knew what happened to Hassan.
It’s very confusing because for one the story line starts backwards and shows a scene then it goes back and shows what happened before that lead to the current scene and so on. In my opinion when Leonard says, “We all lie to ourselves to be happy” to me that means like no matter what you believe, “The Truth” will always get triggered and changed depending on the person and their experience and perspective and point of view during that moment. You want yourself to look a certain way and be seen as that particular person so you lie and sometimes you actually start to believe the lie so you start to convince yourself that it’s the actual truth. This movie shows that peoples “truths” are only trying to help themselves or make themselves look like as innocent as possible and to try to convince you that what they’re telling you is actually
I'm much more of a "genre" fan, and I much prefer fantasy, surrealism and absurdism to realism. My preconceptions were throwing me off of the film initially. The realist drama stuff seemed to drag on, and it made much of the film a hard sell. I loved the touches of weirdness, but they were too little, too far between--at least until I reached my personal interpretation of the film around the halfway mark. The film is also odd in that it's so retro.
Dear Mr. Gibson: Fahrenheit 451 is a well known book that most high school teachers have their students read. From my experience as a sophomore in Seoul American High, my fellow classmates and I had trouble reading the book. There were complaints they didn’t get it, the book was interesting then became boring, or they just weren’t into it. So, as of you being the director of this movie, I would like you to use some of opinions for Fahrenheit 451, as you may. The original version of Fahrenheit 451 was worse than I thought it would be.
Comparing my religion to a fairy-tale is like insulting my race or intelligence; I am obviously not going to take it very well. I found certain thing about his “documentary” offensive. First of all I do not dislike Bill Maher, so it is only fair that I could have an opinion about his movie. I enjoyed his documentary like movie in which he was set out to question people about their religion. That being said anyone who is religious would feel uncomfortable while watching “Religulous”.
The books are not filled with words, but with emptiness instead. The people’s freedom of choice and expression are limited. This utopia is not as perfect as we think it is. As the movie progresses, we can see the people begin to break the lines of censorship. When the lines are completely broken, a new perspective is found.
The butterfly effect extra credit After watching the film "The butterfly effect" I was very intrigued regarding how the idea of determinism was implied in it. I personally do not believe in determinism. The idea of determinism makes future plans seem frustrating because according to determinism the universe has already decided how the future will be and no matter what you do the turnout will be the same. It does not seem fair to me because then that makes me feel as if we're not really free, it makes me feel as if the only point of life is to tough it out, follow through, and stick to what was predestined for you. I would much rather believe that we have the option to make choices that will lead us through different paths to different turnouts.
He found his passion through his addiction to filmmaking, but it came at a price of making poor grades in school. In other situations students are multi-tasking with technology because of their addiction. While doing homework or writing an essay the students are being distracted by listening to music, texting, and watching television. In my personal experience with this I also get very distracted and sidetracked and cannot keep focused on what I’m supposed to be doing. I end up forgetting I have homework and not coming back to it later that night or the next morning to finish it.
Younger generations are mimicking what they see in movies and television shows, while forgetting to do important tasks, such as focusing on schooling. It is obvious that a dreadful trend is developing within our country. A dangerous message is being sent out by pop culture and those influenced by the media are wasting away into a mind state of pure stupidity, because stupidity is what is being promoted. There are some cases where being intelligent and independent with one’s thoughts have not been a key factor to becoming successful, the cases are rare but it is a possibility. Skoble’s reasoning for this uncommon situation is that the individual has either stole to reach their achievements or attained them by inheritance (412).
