In the film, four men go fishing, and one of them discovers the dead body of a young indigenous girl. Instead of reporting what they found to the police immediately, they decide to stay and continue fishing.

M.T Anderson’s novel Feed gives readers a representation of a future dystopian world, one in which technology is not simply around us yet embedded inside our heads.

Violet is a very cute, feminine name which fits the character’s role as the femme in the lesbian relationship. One could accentuate the fact that whenever Violet is away from Caesar, she appears to be less feminine. Also, whenever Violet is talking to men, her voice becomes high-pitched which seemingly makes her vulnerable ensuring her to be taken care of. This can be seen in many scenes from the film especially the scene where Caesar opens the briefcase and finds nothing in it except a stack of newspapers. Caesar asks “Where could the money be?” Violet replies with her...
Violet has a deeper understanding of the society she lives in, and she also begins to question the corporations who run that society.

At this particular scene, Violet sounds paranoid as she explains her thoughts, “Everything we do gets thrown into a big calculation. Like they’re watching us right now. They can tell where you are looking. They want to know what you want.” (Anderson 80). Violet is now understanding why they are programmed the way they are.

Split Review Dissociative Identity Disorder, better known as Multiple Personality Disorder, has fascinated the general public and perplexed clinicians in the mental health field for decades. While little is understood about this complicated disorder, those who suffer from it exhibit behaviors of alternating personalities or identities with gaps in memory not explained by ordinary forgetfulness. After a series of relative box office flops, M. Night Shyamalan capitalizes on this rare and intriguing disorder and finds his groove again with his new movie, Split, which takes the viewer inside the tortured mind of Kevin and his 23 personalities, who with the help of his trusted psychiatrist, Dr. Fletcher, unlocks his final, most dangerous personality yet. Written and directed by Shyamalan, Split, is a sinister and sentimental tale with a twist of fate with the introduction of each new character. Shyamalan has built his career on surprising audiences as demonstrated in his first major hit, The Sixth Sense.

Father Gabriel (Jeremy Irons) leads a religious mission, spreading Catholicism to the Guaraní Indians of Paraguay, and building physical compounds for Indians to worship God. Europeans thought of Indians as the barbaric feeble-minded who, by undergoing a Christian
I found Sara Bareilles's official music video for 'Brave' to show as my video on YouTube. This video is obviously a music video, but it still stretched my personal definition of what dance is. In the video, Sara Bareilles is singing her song ‘Brave’ while random, ordinary people dance. She starts off the video with a shot of herself dancing in the street or in a park or something.
The development of motion pictures into an industry can be explained with one word. Money. It actually began before motion pictures became what we call today movies. The kinetoscope, a device invented by Thomas Edison, would take still pictures and present them in such a way as to make it appear the images were moving. This was done, not by passing the image in front of a light to project an image on a screen, that comes later, but by flipping still pictures to give the illusion of movment.
