platoon

In the movie platoon I saw a lot of blood and violence why is that a surprised because it was a war film. During the Vietnam War many soldiers and innocent lives were lost it was really sad. The director was war veterans himself we don’t really know what actually happened in Vietnam but when people watch the movie they think all the events really happened. War itself it a big word to digest because a lot of people are against it like me and there are others that are with having a war. The soldier’s risks there lives to fight for our country it’s not always easy physically, emotionally, and mentally that is the only credit I give the soldier’s. Well some stores sell army color shirts, hats and pants just to make a profit and other imitations of classic war films like platoon. War is a part of history because there have been a lot of them for centuries and many of them were revolutionary like the Vietnam War and civil war. MASH was a show about a group of people living on army base during a war. Even though it was a comedy/ drama it showed the viewer how they deal with a war. The media make war sound and look good and fabraticte everything as usual that is why we have to listen to more than one source so you can have different things you can talk about. In my opinion the Iraq war is the one that cost the most money that is why things are going up like gas and many other people are going broker than usual. The world is messed up and the war needs to stop because many people are dying.

New york performing arts 2008

I went to the NYPA center Wednesday it was hard to find because they had up walls and they were doing construction there. When I went inside of the place I thought it was very nice and quiet. There was a lot of security all over the building just like the library on Bryant Park but hey you have to keep the place safe. In the beginning I was by myself so I went into the Jerome Robbins room and I saw a lot of pictures, video, and books. As I was watching commentary about him I saw a few classmates like: Anthony, Usman, Farzan, and Tushing, walking up the stairs and I literary ran to catch up with them. We went on different floors to check out the place on the first floor i saw the information desk and computers that people were using and the Jerome Robbins room. In the back I saw different pictures of pictures of plays displayed on the wall. I can't believe that people still have VHS in the year 2008. I'm saying this because I saw different tapes of movies like shaft. On the second floor I saw books about movies, plays and television shows like Annie the musical and Saturday night live. Also, I saw DVD’s like six degrees of separation not the one with the actor Will Smith. There is another computer lab that I saw people using and photographs of dancers and there was on picture that was taken by Louis Greenfield of a Black woman doing a movement of dance. That blew my mind away why? Because I like seeing nice photographs of people, objects, and designs. On the third floor there are books on contemporary theatre, film and television from volume 2-81. I saw magazines like billboard and ne-yo an r@b artist was on the cover looking really nice. I saw another picture of the Mozart family in 1780 by Joseph Lacroix. It just reminds me of togetherness sometime I wish i have that but anyway on a lighter note I thought it was beautiful. These artists that draw pictures of people, and take pictures are very talented. I want to be in an industry like that so people can see my work just like everything else I have to handle criticism from other people and deal with competition. To finish of everything I liked it and the area it is around.
