I turned on my laptop one hot September, and as I decided to re-watch Snowpiercer, then a thought occurred to me about what happens when a huge disaster comes to drain most of humanity population to short numbers. Sadly, Snowpiercer takes my thought into a reality that I can 't stop from keeping my eyes from being glued to my screen. Knowing very well what the movie has in store for the viewer and, yet I knew I was going for another roller coaster ride that would make me question humanity since of justice. Snowpiercer, wild roller coaster ride takes use to a place ware humanity has almost become extinct. The only thing keeping them from total extinction is a train and its social standers in living difference. Sadly, Snowpiercer does not stop Before, this black jello protein bar was giving to the lower class they lived a month with out any source of food be sides them selfs. So many converted to cannibalism since the hunger was so bad all because Wilford (ED Harris)did not include them in his grand plan of survival. The other thing that Wilford (Ed Harris) forgot to do for the lower class was give them an approbate living conditions; instead, they are force to live in a very tight short space area where this is no such privacy can behave. Another thing they have that the higher class does not have to live with is having to live filth rather then enjoying the juice 's of life. At this point I ask my self why Wilford (Ed Harris) did not think about his lower classes citizen on board his train. Maybe, just maybe because they did not buy a ticket? To add insult to injury the lower class gets not just mistreated but humiliate for any kind of rebellion action they show towards the upper class. For example, someone from the higher class came looking for children of a particular size. Sadly, the higher class finds two children of the size they need and just take them by force. One of the children 's parents takes his shoe of and threw it at a lady that seem to be a very important person. As a consequences Andrew (Ewen Bremner) the father Although, the higher class submits they now must obey the demands of the lower class. However, know that the lower class has gain some motivation they feel like Wilford (Ed Harris) has to take their living conditions into hand. However, as you keep watching you start to notice the tone of the leader of the lower class change. Curtis (Chris Evans) is the main man in charge of the lower so when you start to notice his tone from redemption to revenge you start to question how far will he go for it. Their a point in the film where Curtis (Chris Evans) is offered the position of train

  • The Glass Castle Reflection

    858 Words  | 2 Pages

    Poverty can be a choice or a last resort for many across the globe. The Glass Castle a memoir written by Jeannette Walls, portrays how her family rejected civilization and embraced poverty. I felt Rex Wall’s notion of “sink or swim” (Page 66) portrays the failure and success of having a family. The situation in the Wall’s hopes manifested itself as a Glass Castle, a mysterious glass house the family would hope to build and live in. In order for the family’s dream to succeed, they would have to face many demons on the way. Throughout the book, I protested against some of the choices that were made, but I soon came to an understanding that some people will not change the way they live. I kept on thinking there always a possibility that there is always a cure to a problem, but sometimes there is too little time or understanding on both sides. A common theme that kept on going

  • Spring Awakening Reflection

    Spring Awakening, my first and final play. Shelley Elman the director of the play did not live up to my expectations. It was hard for me to understand what was going on throughout the play, and where exactly it was taken place at. There were also many technical difficulties with the sound that took my attention from the stage. This was my first play I have gone to, and it was not a good experience. I went on a Friday and was seated in the middle of the auditorium, and would definitely not recommend seeing this play with your mother as I did. The auditorium was not a full house, but there was still quite a bit of people. Everyone in the audience reacted to specific scenes in the play that were uncomfortable including me and my mother. Spring Awakening was definitely a play that got you thinking, but is not something I would go see for fun. From the start of the play to the end was extremely awkward for me. A lot of the content in this play were topics that are common, yet not many individuals like to talk about. The entirety of the play was interesting, but did not show me anything spectacular. Spring Awakening was a jumbled mess that needed a lot of help.

  • Analysis Of Black Boy By Martin Luther King

    1056 Words  | 3 Pages

    In Black Boy, Richard can no longer sit back and allow the injustices. He like Luther is a go getter; he takes action and doesn’t just wait. When it comes time for Richard to read his Valedictorian speech the principal demands him to read the one she wrote. She wants him to read hers because there were going to be whites in the audience. Richard refuses, and the principal threatens to not allow him to graduate. To Richard the principal is shallow for trying to make him read a different speech just because a white would be in the audience. Richard is not the kind to sit back and allow his life to be affected just because a white person is in the room. Richard decides he must leave. Richard cannot stand to live in the south where he is constantly looking behind his back for problems. He doesn’t respect his family who continues to allow segregation to happen to them and they do nothing about it. His Uncle Tom scolds his cousin to stay away from Richard because he is “no good.” Uncle Tom is shallow because he just accepts the white man’s opinion of blackness and lives up to it, nothing else. Richard, like king, is going to act like himself, not what others believe he should be. This is a main contributor to why Richard is fired from so many jobs. He continually opens his mouth and spouts off to bosses. When told by Griggs he must “think before he acts, think before he speaks,” he attempts to do this

  • Snowpiercer: Film Analysis

    919 Words  | 2 Pages

    Just as Big Brother represents a god-like figure, Wilford is the train’s conductor and is not seen until the end of the film. Wilford supposedly controls every aspect of the Snowpiercer and maintains “the sacred engine”. Naturally, Wilford must have his lackeys to protect him and carry out his orders. One example is Minister Mason, a woman who often reports to the back of the train to deliver Wilford’s message. She also asserts her power over the impoverished residents in a multitude of ways; She refers to them as “shoes…[that] belong on the foot”, takes away children in an attempt to brainwash them with the teachings of Wilford, and, if especially defiant, she cripples them by removing entire limbs and permanently marking them as examples of what will happen if they fight against the bourgeoise class. The majority of passengers near the front are also given copious amounts of alcohol and mood-altering drugs, possibly to keep them from challenging the law as

  • Reflective Reflection

    1250 Words  | 3 Pages

    This reflective essay will lay emphasis on one of the learning needs I have developed during my two week taster placement in hospital. Reflection helps an individual build upon their skills and makes room for self-criticism as he or she can contemplate upon actions and make relevant changes (Taylor, 2000). I will be applying the “What”, “So what” and “Now what” model of reflection by Driscoll (2000) in this piece of work because it is a more coherent and comprehensible approach to follow when writing a reflective account and is also an easier guide to writing reflections. The learning need I chose to reflect on from my learning plan is having a better understanding of diabetes and the 6 basic medications used in treating the condition since it is a common illness on the ward I am have been allocated on for my first placement. The timescale set for achieving this objective was by the end of my two week placement that is from 27th January to 9th February and I achieved it with the help of a host of factors. In this assignment, all the names of the patients and wards have been omitted and indicated with letters and numbers for confidentiality reasons as stated in the Nursing and Midwifery Council (NMC) code of conduct (2008). The paper will primarily touch on the type 2 diabetes and furthermore on the achievement on my learning need.

  • Falling Down

    The 1993 film falling down provides a look into two separate men’s lives in the course of one day. Although the movie was highly acclaimed for it’s portrayal of the new human situation, the covert and overt racism, sexism, and classism leave a sour taste in this viewer’s mouth. The movie comes across as a lame attempt to show the “White man’s ever growing burden.” The audience is expected to feel a compassion for both lead characters. The message that is supposed to be portrayed is similar to films of today such as fight club and American beauty. All three pointing at what they see as specific flaws yet offering up no real solutions to these problems. With these flaws in this system pointed out Michael Douglas’ character William Foster is held up as a martyr. He is not portrayed as a real villain through out the story.

    ...satisfied and comforted. People in the tail section were utterly exhausted and lost their hope after experiencing a host great turmoil. The most serious and crucial problem I found in the movie is that a manager from the head section regularly visits the rear section and take some children with her. In the latter half of the movie clearly demonstrates how the children are being ‘abused’ with several purposes. Immature children with short stature go into the engine, the heart of the train, and modulate the saw teeth not to be mingled with each other. At the place where they have to lower their heads and close their legs, the innocent children were being sacrificed for the unknown people. Children with pure spirits became the victims of the pleasure and fortune of the greatest number of people. Who on earth would pledge the rights of the children and their parents?
