POST #7 (All Film Is Construction)

I think The movie Hidalgo did a good job of constructing a Believable reality. Take the wounded knee scene for instance. In the scene there is a lack of communication between the Natives and The Whit men and the white men then slaughter the whole tribe over nothing. This was very close to the truth and really captures the truth of that moment. The rest of the film is believable as well.

Star wars does not construct a believable reality. It uses technology that can't or won't exist for a long time yet the time the movie occurs in is set early in time.

POST # 4 (Rambo)

1. Rambo is a tough guy who is muscular and never wears a shirt. He always has a big gun within arms reach. He doesn't show emotions and has no fear. He doesn't need any help and usually goes solo on his missions.

2.Yes. It is consistent with what was portrayed as a real man in tough guise because Rambo is the embodiment of tough in the movie. He kills hundreds of enemies, shows not pain or weakness, doesn't need anybody to help him and is muscular and fit.

POST #2 (all media is construction)

In this photo the differences are that the one on the right is glowing more, skin tone is perfect, breast size is larger and that her hair is fixed and looks better. My emotional reaction is Between she is hot and disgust. \the message in this is that you have to look like the model on the cover to be beautiful.

In this image the difference is that they made her nose smaller her jaw line more curved ans sleek, made her face shine brighter, made her cheek bones more defined and fixed her hair. My reaction to this was thats terrible. \I think she looks fine originally but the people who made the ad obviously did not thinks so and i find that very disturbing.

Post #1 (Frank's Pizza Empire is Sexy)

1.In this Advertisement A hot girl seductively eats pizza while a fat guy (Frank) tries to act sexy while making pizza but looks ridiculous. Then the logo for GoDaddy.com shows up and says get a website domain from them.

2 It is memorable because it is really funny and makes you laugh really hard and you want to watch it again. It is sort of a "what did I just see" moment.

3 The add is not directed at me. The add is directed at people who want to get a website doamin and that have a sense of humor as well.
