Blankets

After watching the Blankets trailer on Youtube, I think it does a fair job describing what happens or is going to happen in the book.  But I do not think it highlights all the key parts.  You have to read it for yourself in order to get all the key points.  And on top of that, having read the book already it if definitely more enjoyable reading the book rather than watching the trailer.  It does not give you the same experience!


If I had to make a trailer of Blankets, I would probably leave out all the sex and minor themes and focus on the bigger picture.  I feel like that would be best considering trailers are only two to four minutes in length.  Obviously what needs to be in the trailer would be Craig's family, Raina's family, and the blanket.  I would focus on Craig and Raina's love story because every audience loves romance. My audience would include teens because they love romance the most. 

The Incredibles

The Incredibles was a great movie.  I have seen it in the past before but seeing it again reminded me of how good the movie was.  One of the important scenes that I thought was most important was when Mrs. Incredible, Dash, and Violet were in a cave-like area towards the end of the movie and Mrs. Incredible had to leave them to go help Mr. Incredible.  She told both Dash and Violet what the most valuable possession was and it was their masks because their identity is the most valuable thing to them.  I think this is very important because like most super hero movies, super heroes want to keep their identity unknown in order to protect themselves and their love ones.  It also makes their lives easier and they can keep normal like other people in public.  For example, the kids go to school and if they were to use their powers, everybody will know who they are.  Not only does the mask protect their love ones but also protect who they are.  For example, if people were to know who Spiderman or Superman was, their loves one would be in danger which also put themselves in danger too.  Spiderman's grandma and girlfriend and Superman's girlfriend will face dangers throughout their lives if villains find out that Spiderman is Peter Parker and Superman is Clark.  Identity also dictates what they have to do.  This scene also showed that Mrs. Incredible trusted Violet to be in charge over Dash, which made Dash mad.  This showed that Violet is more fit in charge and more mature than Dash.  Overall, this scene plays a very important role in this movie.  It helps the viewer or audience know how important the masks or more specifically the identity of super heroes.  And if their identity are known what possible consequences can occur according to previous super hero movies I have seen. 

Kumu Hina

First off, I thought this was very interesting to see!  I thought it did a very good job talking about Hina.  I just thought it had a very good story, which was just perfect in my opinion.  Hina who was a struggling boy who wants to become the women of his dreams.  A proud transgender woman who hopes to become a leader among men.  Hina who is a Kuma or teacher, cultural practitioner and community leader journeyed a long way to become who he is today. 





I did a little research on Hina.  He travels and discus his life to a lot of different institution and also there's is a lot of screening shown of him.  I would recommend it to anybody who wants a good watch.  If you do not think you like it go watch the trailer on Youtube it will change your mind!
Overall, I really thought it was really cool that we have people like Hina in this world.  Someone really kind and does what he think is right. 

The Longest Yard

My favorite movie is The Longest Yard.  I love this movie because I am a big fan of Adam Sandler and I enjoy watching comedies.  I also play football and the movie is about a football star going to prison and has to play a football game against the guards.  Also Hall of Fame wide receiver Michael Irvin also stars in the movie which makes it very interesting.  A couple of other stars are also in the movie like Terry Crews and rapper Nelly.  This movie has a lot of intense scenes and racial scenes  I like the movie a lot and have watched it plenty of times.
