The many views of the world

                 In this movie there were many images that made you think of many ideas and conflicts that our occurring in the world today. I think that this movie related to semester one because it played with many ideas we explored. Some of these ideas where religion, war, culture, good and evil, and many more. This movie really made you think of other things outside the spectrum of your life. To understand some of these images you had to look deeper much like looking at the deeper meanings in semester one books. I think images that evoked wonderment were ones about religion and looking at all these separate religious properties like buildings and rituals. This just makes you think of the beauty of these buildings and rituals and how they seem to bring a group of people together that believe in the same thing. Another think that evoked compassion was the images of poverty. The movie does not limit poverty to one nation but shows that many nations deal with poverty. Some images in the movie also should cities and community’s build on poverty and living on trash. I think that for me this made me think of things inside my everyday life that I take for granite. I think that brussats opinions on impactful images differs because she is looking at things like the order the images were shown in and some nature images. I personally didn’t think that the nature images were as good as some of the other images.

                The movement and music of the film is very interesting and has a cool effect on the images. The movement I noticed goes from nature to poorer nations to more developed nations basically going through the life of different places. These places you can see all start and end in the same place and have many more comparisons through the journey. The Music of the movie was very interesting because it seemed to flow perfectly with the images. In intense parts of the film it seemed the drums sounded like your heart beat. In nature parts the music made you feel like everything was peaceful and quite. I think that the films main objective is to just show the similarities between everything on this earth. Some parts you saw what happens when we think that out differences are a problem like the holocaust museums and the burning oils. But through the film it made many noticeable comparisons between different cultures. I think its overall thesis was that humans have many differences but also many similarities and if we only focus on the differences it could lead to our ultimate death.
