Farenheit 451

        The movie I chose to see was Farenheit 451. The film's main character is Montag. Montag is a part of the fire department. In this futuristic setting, the fireman's job is too burn books instead of put out fires. A lot of people including his wife are hooked to the TV and on a lot of prescription drugs. He questions the idea of burning books as the movie progresses. He himself even takes books himself and reads them. His wife rats him out for doing so. Montag is taken to his house were he commits the murder of his police chief when he is asked to burn his own books. Montag's neighbor told him of a secret society were people represent certain books. He runs away to this colony and joins them.

       Overall, I thought the movie was very interesting. I read the book a couple years ago and really liked it. I like the storyline of the movie although it is kind of slow and not very dramatic. It is interesting to watch the change of heart of Montag as he starts to reason through what he is doing. I thought it was a fairly good movie for being so old and would recommend it to anyone.

Objectified

I found the documentary very interesting. One of the things that caught my eye was Marc who had a collection of objects he was just interested in using in some way. Almost creating an object so he could use another certain object.  Another thing I found interesting was the building of chairs and the talk of why every chair we sit on is not comfortable. I've sat in a chair and complained about it being designed weird and not being comfortable but never really thought about the dynamics that go into making it. A third thing I found interesting was the talk of how functional and simplified the company Apple was. Everything they make seems to be made with the least parts possible, making everything they make really efficient.

Blade Runner Film

The ending scene with Roy and Deckard was one of the worst scene's of the already bad film. The film had already built up to a terrible ending. Roy pleading for empathy while Deckard struggled to get away from Roy who had broke 3 of his fingers. I think this scene was just poor all around. The fact that Deckard just sat there and watched Roy die as he released a dove was really anti climatic.
