Movie Review

So many movies that I want to review.... but I guess I will just do the most recent one that I have seen. It is the movie The Town directed by Ben Affleck. This movie has just about everything..... intense action, good acting, a nice story, and a good lesson is taught.

The movie starts off with a group of experienced bank robbers going for a heist. Ben Affleck's character holds the bank manager hostage but he ends up forming a connection to her. Throughout the movie, Ben Affleck's relationship with the bank manager ends up ruining their bank robbery group. My short plot sounds a little lame, but you will understand what a good movie it is when you go and see it.

The movie is packed with some intense gunfights and probably one of the best car chases in movie history. Some very good acting is displayed by Ben Affleck and Jeremy Renner. One of my favorite lessons that the story tries to teach is that you can't just change yourself without paying for the mistakes you have made in the past. Spoiler alert: Towards the end, when Ben Afflect decides that he wants to get out of the bank robbing business, he finds himself in quite a bit of trouble.

The lesson I learn in the movie can be directly applied to myself. I expect to get good grades and be good at stuff like music and sports, but I haven't paid for being lazy in the past. Anyways, this was a really good movie and I think anyone should watch it when they have the chance to do so.

Art Review

I am not too familiar with famous art pieces or artists, so I had to go online to look up some pieces. I searched famous art pieces and I found this piece by Vincent Van Gogh called a starry night. I know there are different interpretations of this art piece, but I will give my own opinion of it.
The many stars in the sky can light up the world in mysterious ways, giving us a sense of hope. But when there is hope, there is also doubt. The towering black plant looking thing represents the doubt and the evil in this world. Another way that I see it is that everything looks dreamy and bright because it is being compared to the dark plant. The "beautiful" in this world are made more "beautiful" because of the "ugliness" in this world. People in this world only want more because we compare. We only recognize "beauty" because we  see some people as "ugly."
Sure, Van Gogh was in the mental asylum when he painted this but just because you are insane doesn't mean you are stupid. His painting here shows so much that the interpretations of it could be unlimited. In a way, he was a philosopher of his own.

We Have the Right

We have the right.... or do we really? Who or what is it that determines what we have the right to do? We live our life, doing things that we see as the "right" thing for us to do, blindly following a path. No one is there to tell you whether or not we should keep going or if we should stop because we have the "Right" built into all of us.
This blog makes me question everything around me and my motives in life.. Sure, I have the right to do whatever I want right now. Not only do I have the ability to do it, but I also have my parents to back me up with whatever decision I make. But, instead of doing something that it is worthwhile, I feel like I lose a part of myself everyday. More paths, problems, and questions pop into my mind. Having the Right to do whatever want might sound like a good thing, but in my case it seems like it actually limits me instead. I would want to do something but I always hesitate because I think of the other options that I can be taking instead.
I have the right to just lay on my bed and to just give up but I choose not to. The right to do whatever I want should be a blessing, a blessing that should not be forsaken. I guess what I should work on in college is to determine where all this freedom can go to.
