Propaganda 2011

Propaganda- information that is spread for the purpose of promoting some cause; a form of communication aimed at influencing the attitude of a community toward some cause or position. As opposed to impartially providing information, propaganda in its most basic sense, presents information primarily to influence an audience

Uuuummmm........ yeeeaa........ So, I don't really know what I'm really supposed to say, cause I really don't know and propagandas..... sooo..... yea...... I just gonna end this here. Sorry to anyone who wasted 30 seconds of their life reading this pointless post.

Beat Street

Honestly, my first impression of the movie was,"This looks like it's gonna suck." But after going on further into the plot of the movie, I gotta say, I like it a lot. It had a really good plot. Although they didn't really do much characterization, you can basically assume how these people would react because these were just the lives of normal people. Some of the thing I REALLY, REALLY liked in the movie was the graffiti art, the break dancing, and the music.I especially like the ending scene, where they have the wake/ dance party thing. That was really cool. Overall, I'd give the movie 4- 4.5 stars.

Hungary for Attention

I think Richard is not alone in his struggle for attention. Sure, he does some extreme things to get it, like killing a cat to get attention from his father, but he still trying to reach the common goal everyone shares of getting attention.
Whether you admit it or not, almost everything you do is to get some kind of attention. No one in this world wants to be ignored or forgotten, I know I don't. Getting good grades, causing trouble, etc. are all ways we try to get attention. It's human nature. Sure, some of us are "hungrier" than others for attention. I would say Richard is starving for attention. He craves it so much, that he is willing to go to the extreme to get it.
So yeah. Basically what I'm saying is that we all want attention and that we will do whatever we can to get it.
