Slow motion

Humans, animals, technology, and this planet, are constantly changing and adapting to their surroundings. Life goes on despite the extent of the change, just as the train represents time moving non stop past the tree, that represents life in the movie. The film Powaqqatsi by Godfrey Reggio, displays great change over time to the new industry that erodes the traditional ways of several countries. Transitioning from a slow motion opening scene to a rapid ending pace, the film uses facial expressions and grim tasks to exemplify the struggle the change brought upon the people. The song “Rise Up” by Andra Day sends a message to rise above. In the film and the song, change is pinpointed; rising above it through lyrics and the workers not giving up, the tempo in both increasing and the melody moving up and down in the media. Reggio’s film begins with slow motion video of workers struggling, working hard and not giving up. The lyrics in the song begin “You're broken down and tired, of living life on a merry-go-round, and you can't find the fighter, but I see it in you so we gonna walk it out, and move mountains.” Those words truly describe how the looks of the people working seemed to feel. The exhaust…

into the depth of his misery. Lighting is the critical element in the film. The shadowy and dark look of the movie upholds the theme of war and the tough dark journey the soldiers undertake therein. The lighting of the movie is exceedingly illustrative of the hazards of the war in the wilderness and also a figurative trip that the fighters attempt in the spiritual domain. The colors depicted in the movie mirror the whole journey. The root hues at the beginning of the movie remind us that we…

Have you ever marveled over why dogs wag their tails? We've always heard, through videos, movies, and books, that dogs wag their tails out of happiness. Yet, is that all there is to it? Dogs also seem to show other emotions than happiness, too! Even when they appear angry, afraid, or annoyed, they still wag their tails. If you're angry, it seems unlikely to represent happiness at the same time. How do domesticated dogs portray their emotions; to humans, and other dogs? Do dogs wag their tails…

How does a person grow up to be who they are? Most people would say it’s the way one’s parent raises them. “A helicopter parent is a term used to describe an overprotective mother or father that discourages a child’s independence by being too involved in their life” (dictionary). Basically, it sounds like a child’s worst nightmare. We live in a society today where we feel the need to constantly protect our children. But a line is drawn when overprotection occurs. There are parents that give…
