Mew Media Rough Draft



In today’s world it seems that some people cannot live with their phone, social media site or checking up on their favorite site.
When looking at facebook specifically it is very easy to post something. You can do anything within a couple of seconds. Some people are more outgoing or just annoying when it comes to facebook. Like me I don’t hardly don ever post a thing but some people post every hour about what they are doing. When looking at facebook you can see who liked what picture or who shared what video. You can see almost everything and what other people doing. The effect of this can lead someone to be more cautious.
Recently I remember seeing a video that went viral. I didn’t know the girl at all nor was I friends with her after seeing the video I was somewhat disgusted but after reading comment the video did even bother me. The video was just of a girl that was recording herself. In the video she was telling people especially girls that if your boyfriend hit you then he loves you. Her reasoning was because he is risking his life for you. If your boyfriend beats or hits you he is risking his life because he could go to jail. If you have a boyfriend that hits you he is a keeper and you need to obey him and do what he says. She explained that her boyfriend asked her to do something and she didn’t do it so he her and then she says that she now knows she is wrong and should’ve listening to him in the first place. Her boyfriend gave her a black eye and said she deserved it. Her boyfriend then took her out to get her hair and makeup done so it made it ok.
Of course after seeing anything or reading anything everyone will have their different opinion depending on what they believe in or how they were raised. After watching this video I was just speechless. Who in there right mind says that this ok? After watching this video I clicked on the comments and my thoughts of this video changed. Some of the comments were surprising. There were actually people agreeing with this girl and some said that their boyfriend beat them and glad they could relate to someone. This was very sad to me. Then there were more comments thinking how I was thinking. People said that this girl needed help and that she is crazy. Then there were these comments that were very simple and just said she only wants attention.
After reading many comment I felt the same way. I now felt that this girl was only trying to get attention and he was sure getting it.
The effects comments on a certain post or video can change your opinion on anything or lead you to make your own opinion.
This video had so many views and controversy that the girl went on DrPhil. He was worried because so many young girls had seen her video and wanted people to know that this isn’t right. This also changed people view on this video. He felt that she was trying to get attention and went over why she would because of her past. When you have someone that is popular and famous people with agree with you. DrPhil is credible and people began to listen even if they didn’t before.

American Sniper Analysis Rough Draft



When previews came out for American sniper there was not one person that I know that didn’t want o see the movie. It was advertised everywhere. Billboards, TV, and lots of social media sites. When this movie came out people flocked to the movie theaters to see this movie. 

This movie is based around his first kills. 

I feel this movie had a bigger target audience then most movies. This movie is rated R so it audience was for anyone older than 17. Young people can relate to it because maybe they have been in some type of force or maybe they are starting their life and know what its life to struggle and start a family and become a husband. Older people can also relate to this movie because maybe they have to go in to some force and now they retired. They know what’s its like to not see your family and see things in war that no one should ever have to see. Even if you haven’t gone to war people can still relate to this movie because it’s about a family man. Maybe they know someone that has went to war or they are simply thankful for the men and women that go and fight every day. This movie is so strong and powerful that anyone can relate to it in some way and that’s why the target audience is so big. 

There are many Culture belief values and attitude bedded in this film. 

If looking at the movie and the actual real story that this movie was base off you could find more myths but if you are looking at just the movie it is hard to find myths because od what its based off.  Although it is based on a true story doesn’t mean everything in the movie is true. A myth that someone could point out is just the life of Chris Kyle and his wife as a whole. For the most part there life seems perfect. Chris Kyle is the perfect man. He is an example of a women man. He is strong attractive and hard working man that supports his family. They fall in love at a bar and ten soon get married and have kids. He goes to war to protect and care for his family. Most men and women will do this.
This film promotes both positive values and negative values. It shows the life of a navy seal and lots of the ups of his life and man of the downs. Positive values are when he finds the girl of his dreams and get married and has kid. These are all positive things that happens in people life. Using the positive experiences makes this film likable.
The American sniper delivers a sense of vivid tribute to its real life subject. Things like this happen every day.
As you can see this movie was very powerful and an inspiration to many.  It would be hard for someone to say that they genuinely didn’t like the movie because it is based on a true story and almost anyone can relate to it in some way.

American Sniper Pleasure and Escape


Prior to watching American sniper in the theaters I saw the previews many times and I really wanted to see the movie. I am never in to these kinds of movies so many people were surprised that I wanted to see it. Before watching this movie my expectations about it were that it was going to be a good movie about a family and a father that goes to war. I thought it was going to revolve more around the son then anything. I also heard lots of things online and my friends and family on how great of a movie it was.  Of course this influenced me to want to see it even more because I trust my friend and families views. I watched this movie with four of my friends. After watching the movie I had a different outlook on life. This fulfilled my expectation and so much more. Through this experience I did find “pleasure and escape.” This movie left me wanting to know more about what happened to the soldier. Also finding out that it was based on a true story left me feeling sad. Though it was sad doesn’t mean I didn’t find pleasure. The purpose of entertainment is to provide pleasure and escape, of course not everyone will find please and escape in some things but that’s why there are so many different forms of entertainment.
