The Matrix

 Red Pill

"You stay in Wonderland. And I show you how deep the rabbit hole goes."
  • The truth

Arguments:

Be in control of your REAL life
  • I see on social media and my friends have said to me that "we're living on a floating rock, why does it matter?"
    • My response to her was that even if we are, this is all we got so we might as well take the opportunities we have and live life to the fullest
  • By taking the red pill you have the opportunity to have control over your life, even if it might be hard, I would rather fight for my own life than be blissfully unaware
Wouldn't Neo be found eventually anyways?
  • The agents were searching for him, specifically Agent Smith
  • With the red pill, he can be prepared and put an end to the Matrix altogether
He would have never found his love
  • If Neo took the blue pill, he would have forgotten about Trinity
    • Trinity confessed her love for Neo and pulled him back into the real world, saving his life
Neo would have never known that he is "the one"
  • Without this knowledge, he wouldn't have the skill set to save the other humans
    • This would leave Morpheus and his team without the one person who can greatly help destroy the matrix

Creative Process Behind our Final Project

Don't Look Up Poster Creative Process: We decided to conduct our final project on the film, Don't Look Up. We drew inspiration for our poster from the ideas of politicians and social media blinding the world to the dangers of climate change.  Sofia laid out photos and text while outlining a border to cut and create a new background shape.                                         Me gluing down photos and text for the main piece of our poster.  Sofia beginning to place and glue photos and text on our newly shaped cover piece. Finished Product: We attached the two pieces together with staples to complete the look.

2001: A Space Odyssey (1968)

Space Odyssey Observations: Ape's fighting against one another Why are they rivaling? I found it very interesting how one side ganged up on a member from the opposing side and beat him until he was dead Russians The Russians questioning about the private mission was very interesting Real-world connection Technology throughout the film It is incredible that the creators imagined what they thought our future would look like and actually got so many things correct Things like flat screens and voice control HAL Very creepy voice Plotted against the humans Even killed them Tried to outsmart Dave Then proceeded to plead for his life as if he was human This failed and Dave shut Hal down Begs the question: Was Hal actually afraid of death or was he trying to stay 'alive'? Dave zooming through the galaxies The creators of these scenes have very creative and innovative minds  The colors, zooming in and out, the view of planets and galaxies All combined with music that kept you excite...
