Even though we had a short class and discussion today I still thought I wold post a little blurb about what I thought. Well for starters I thought that video about the reality of a firefighters life was just hilarious. It made absolutely no sense for woman to pass out when she saw that there was fire, or for the child to not wake up, and then for the firefighter to be spraying water around randomly. I guess movies back then were just supposed to be on the funny and not realistic side of things. Then we watched a glimpse of the beginning of saving private Ryan and we discussed how movies in today’s time era are not realistic. They are made to pull on the viewers emotions not portray something that is realistic. Technology has shaped us into thinking and transforming our minds to accept these movies. It was pretty cool to see the differences in movies from back in the day to now. I mean I could never sit through a movie with no sound at all. The last few moments of class we began talking about how you cant “own” us like people did indentured servants before the civil war. When you asked the question of “why can’t I own you” the first thing that came into my mind was because it’s against the law…duh. Then you started to challenge us and asked besides that why not. Honestly that is where you lost me and then began to explain the concepts of having two selfs. I’m still pondering on what that statement means to me exactly, but until I know for sure i’m just going to leave this post as it is. Until next time.
