blog 11 movie project 11/12/2010

the blog is about my favorite project that i have ever done for a class.  This project is about my beliefs in life. which are: i believe that decisions or choices you make, make you who you are; i believe that people are basically good and just appear evil; i believe that if you want something bad enough, no one can tell you otherwise; i believe that people should take responsibility for their actions' i believe in that if you do something good there will be a reward for you and vice versa (karma).  all of them are connected in a moral way.  the way i describe these beliefs is i movie with movie references. like for the first one i use the god father, scarface, and john dillenger.  i still need to mess with the timing to make it longer and add more pictures to drive in the point.  I am trying to use classic movies that everyone has seen and its becoming a real challenge but its a lot of fun!

blog 10 friday november 5 2010 movies and such

remember, remember the fifth of november for the gunpowder, treason and plot; i know of no reason why the gunpower treason should ever be forgot. ----guy fawkes

that is a quote from a very famous historical figure and it also a very famous line from one of my favorite movies.  V for Vendetta.
 today i am going to talk movies.  over the past 24 hours i have watched 3 different movies.  all of them different but all so similar.  two of them were academy  award winners for best picture for 1993 and 1986.  can u guess??  the two movies are Platoon and Shindler's List.  Now on my list for my favorite movies of all time.  Platoon centers around a military platoon who's leader has made a bad decision and and set the platoon in to a civil war with its self.  its based in the vietnam war during the 1960's and it has an all star cast ranging from best supporting actor to best lead actor.  The plot of the movie is about the directors, oliver stone, experiences in vietnam which gives the film a sort of realism.  if you have not seen them i highly recommend them!!
