      The Fifth Element was such an interesting film. When we watched the beginning in class, I was pretty confused on what was going on, but the pace of the movie keeps the audience excited to learn more about the fifth element and how it will save humanity throughout the movie. The costumes and the sets throughout the movie were extraordinary, and unlike anything I have ever seen. Korben's futuristic apartment was so cool to analyze and see their vision of what living looks like in the 23rd century. The flying cars, highly advanced weapons, humans colonizing outer space, and everyday technology was very unique and a cool way to imagine our future.      I think Leloo's character is incredibly interesting, but the most important part about her is what she  represents. She is made to be a perfect human with the capabilities of saving the human race from evil. Although she is seemingly perfect, it is revealed that Leloo is not as strong as everyone ...

      My favorite designer is Carolina Kleinman because she strives to make sustainable clothing, ethically creating her clothing, and using artisan work from several different cultures to capture the beauty of these cultures. Kleinman's father worked with artisans in Bolivia in the textile and design industry, so Carolina had a passion and knowledge for the work at a young age. She travelled the world with her husband and children, when they decided to settle in Mexico. Carolina developed amazing relationships with artisans from La Paz, Bolivia, Cusco, and Peru, and used their traditional work as inspiration for her brand. Not only is she preserving history and culture in her designs, but she also is committed to making sustainable clothing. She has launched a "Zero Waste  Initiative," which ensures that every inch of fabric is used while making her designs. Natural and recycled fabrics are mainly utilized in her designs. She is also fully committed t...

      I LOVE this movie so much!!! The cast does such an amazing job conveying the story to the audience and the plot sheds light to a problem that the human race will have to face one day. The cinematography and CGI elements of the film were incredible, and make the audience feel like they were in space with the crew. The star studded cast also did a  phenomenal job pulling the audience in, and keeping our attention throughout the movie. Matthew McConaughey is one of my favorite actors, and I think he does an amazing job showing all of the emotions that come with leaving behind your family for several years in order to save the human race. I also loved watching him and his approach in this movie because it is very different from his movies that I am more familiar with.      The blackhole scene is by far my favorite scene of the film and bends the minds of every person who watches the film. Connecting the fact that Cooper was Murph's "ghost" ...

     I really enjoyed watching "Ready Player One," and I remember seeing commercials a few years ago when the movie originally came out. The animation in this movie was unlike anything I've ever seen. The avatars looked so real, and The Oasis was so detailed. I would love to know more about the animation style and how they made these characters and different worlds so incredibly detailed. The main thing I loved about the movie was the soundtrack!!! I love how the movie was set in the future, but they used so many classic songs. It made the action scenes much more entertaining, and hooked me from the beginning of the movie!     It was crazy seeing how VR had essentially taken over the world. Considering our environmental situation and how technology is taking over society, this could be a reality for humans in the future. One thing that did not sit right with me was that humans just turned a blind eye to how they were the reason the planet was essentially de...

     "Ghost in the Shell" was definitely the most confusing movie to follow for me out of all of the movies we watched, but it interested me more after gaining some clarity. I had to do a little research about the major themes of the movie in order to better understand and analyze the movie, and the most interesting point i read about is how the movie explores the idea of humanity. When you live in a world where most are part human and part cyborg, where is the line drawn where you aren't considered human anymore? We see an identity crisis through Motoko's character; she doesn't feel entirely robotic, but she doesn't relate to other humans. A quote that resonated with me was, "T here are countless ingredients that make up the human body and mind, like all the components that make up me as an individual with my own personality. Sure, I have a face and voice to distinguish myself from others, but my thoughts and memories are unique only to me, and I carr...
