10. Real Presentations

Today we did our "real" presentation. I thought it won't be any different from the old one, but grading makes it different. When you have the fear of getting low mark you start to think differently. I thought it went pretty well, although people said it was a little long, irony huh =). Our topic was pretty good too. I enjoyed doing a reasearch about it. I'm not saying the event is joyful, but the gender issue is being argued a lot these days.

9. Full Monty


These guys are not actually the actors of the film The Full Monty, but they went full monty too so it is a related picture. I haven't read the writings though, forget the writings. Think about them as 5 regular guys taking a picture while they are naked. I wonder why they took the picture. It must be some kind of an advertisement. Yep, now I'm sure it's an advertisement.
5 regular guys stripping is not the topic of the film. It was the only solution for them, they were obliged to do it. They oppose the society and stand strong in front of it. In the end they don't care what the society things, and dance proudly at the que.

8. The Ultimate Reality Show


The Truman Show is telling a story of a regular person who is being watched by all the people around the world. But the real thing is, he has no idea about it. His whole life is a made up story. His only purpose in life is to be a part of the show. He has no opportunity to change his faith, which is decided by the god of the set,director of the show.
The life in the set isperfect, no conflicts, no lack of money, no wars. It can be said that it is better to live there than outside. But doesn't he have the right to choice where he wants to live? Is it okay to force him stay in the set just because you adopt him? No, every person should have the ability to change his life. You can change your faith, just like Truman did...

7. Boys Don't Cry - Cure



The central issue discussed in this movie is sexual intolerance. Teena hides his biological identity by disguising as a tough man. In parallel to Tough Guise, in order to be accepted by society, he overacts his role, the most obvious example of which is his trying to get into fights all the time. Setting is also very important. The film takes place in Falls City, Nebraska which is a very conservative state.
Even though, Brandon is not biologically a man, he gets more girls than me. That shows that women are more attracted to more sensitive guys. If being sensitive makes one more desirable for women, why do all men put this though guy "suit" on?
