Uncanny and the Shadow

The uncanny according to WIkipedia.org is a Freudian concept of an instance where something can be familiar, yet foreign at the same time, resulting in a feeling of it being uncomfortably strange. in my opinion it means it gives the ability to a person feel the feeling we all know as Deja Vu in a way. Meaning for example i had an experience one day going to the supermarket and for some reason i had the feeling i've been there before and i saw the same people and i went in to buy olives and for some reason i was expecting something to break because i realized that i had a similar dream to this

Abre los ojos: Open your eyes

"Open your eyes" is the original movie that gave " Vanilla Sky" the idea of it's remake. It stars Penelope Cruz , and Eduardo Noriega. It's a bout a man (Cesar) that nearly dies in a car accident but it does cause him to completely disform his face into a hideous monster. He is going through pain and suffrage, he was willing to pay all the money in the world but only to wear a mask. One night he gets drunk and at the end of the movie we realized that he had died since that part. He had enter a program that freezes him after he dies that way he can be waken up in the future years from then, in order to fix his face with all the new technology that will be in the future. Basically the theme of the movie is " A DREAM LAND". eVERy thing that happen after the drunken incident is all the mind of Cesar and he thinks everything that happens is real. The reason for that is because of the program deletes the ending of his last memory and restores it with new events that are happening after his face is fixed. The point is that he himself controls his surroundings, its all in his mind. The relationship he had with Sofia, the fight he had with his friend Antonio and him being in jail for killing Sofia for beliveing it was the other woman that cause his face to be destroyed; it was all a projection of Cesar's Mind because he was in his own DreamLand.

103 Final ProjeCt

For the final project for we have to write a certain type of research which can be formatted in paper, issues based website,PowerPoint with at least 2,500 words in MLA status, or a short film that is at least 10-15mins long, with the total script with also 2,500 words based on any subject that is relevant. I ma not sure yet of what i might do yet but my top choice is "HOW DANCING AFFECTS YOUNG VIEWERS THROUGH MEDIA". My main point in this short film, I'll try to interview some b-boys that I know probably get some information from them on how break dancing affects their life and how they think how more people these past years are influenced by the dance through media and what they think of it. I'll probably get information on how many viewers are watching these dance contests on T.V. Other then that I'll try to get other information on any other references like movies or articles or radio comments. Even people's opinions on the streets. THere are still many ideas i have but I'm still not sure of them.

The royale and farscape

The Royale and Far Scape episodes were really somewhat alike in different perspectives.
They both had the same idea, as with the same problem and same solution just not likewise but very connected. The Star Trek episode "the Royale" is about the commander send three of his companions to planet earth and to be more specific they were sent to a random casino in the United States. I believed episode mention Nevada but I'm not really sure. So, they are sent there to examine the human life as it is but when it comes to gambling or just that particular moment that they were visiting. The 3 companions experienced a murder but they didn't know what was going on. They had fun gambling without really noticing what they were doing, they believed in order to get out of the casino they had to buy their way out because for some strange reason the revolving doors leading outside lead back in. At the end they got the idea that the human race are very greedy when it comes to betting and are very sneaky to the players because one of the companions notice the dice weren't equally shaped and that affected a lot on a roll and money. They met the Jealousy term and also the happy term among the people inside the casino. They thought they were weird (the people and their characteristics). They left after they bankrupt the casino and bought it.
In the Farscape episode John O' Conner is in a ship that save his life during a bad trip from earth. He is an Australian Astronaut. His friends and him discover a wormhole and see earth on the other side. O' Conner took his only chance to return home and was taken in by the Humans. It was a very confusing procedure but at the end of the show O' Conner is tricked that he was in earth but really he wasn't far from where he was before and everything was just projected from his memory. He had strong feelings about his fellow friends when he supposedly discovers they were killed (but they were fine)but his feelings were beyond the standards that the other aliens posing as humans were expecting to get. So the point of this episode of FARSCAPE is to see how the human will react to a mind projection involving his friends at risk that are not of the same specie.
The comparison of the two episodes are that each race wants to see a different perspective of the different race and see their surroundings and how they are affected by life itself.
