Good vs Evil


I enjoyed watching transformers more than i thought i would. I really thought the graphics were not going to be up to my expectations but it exceeded past. In this certain scene i really liked it because it showed how good stood against evil. Time to time we see that in movies and this was a really nice depiction of good vs evil. This is not the exact image that i wanted to display but it is a comparison of who is good and evil. The scene i wanted to talk about was the scene when optimus prime was getting his butt whooped and somehow he manages to find a way to defeat evil. It is a very typical ending for a good vs evil film but it was very fun to watch.

Taste of Blood


After watching the other Hannibal movies this one was by far one of the better one in exception to silence of the lambs. I like this particular scene because he gets a taste of human blood for the first time and finds out that he enjoys it or it seems that it brings him closer to his significant other that died. Not only that but it looks like it brought out a darker side to him that will reveal his true self. His whole indication and purpose of living now is to seek out revenge. This scene also shows that he has made up his mind in who he truly is and who he truly wants to be. In curiosity, i just wonder after the revenge was finished, why did he continue to kill and eat people in the other movies. I assume he just got so use to it that he couldn't control himself anymore but what really happens after revenge.

Mayans and Colors



I chose this specific scene because i like the different colors that were used and the traditional costumes the Myans wore during this sacrificial ceremony. Although i can not say that i was really drawn into the story, i did like the whole idea of seeing people in their cultural clothing and how a person was indicated by the color they were painted. I noticed that the lower class people didn't wear any color, the captured prisoners were painted blue, and the higher class people that sat at the top of the temple wore really bright colors. According to http://www.princetonol.com/groups/iad/lessons/middle/color2.htm, the native american color symbol was
blue represented defeat and trouble, white represented warmth, peace and happiness, and red was the color of the sacred fire, blood, and success. Understanding these color made me understand why the villagers were white, the captured prisoners were blue, and the priests wore the color red or bright colors.
