About a movie that called BARAKA

Ok~ this is about our class for media appreciation. Lecturer said that he will gave us to watch a movie or video in our class~ He said that he like this movie very much and he watch it for hundred time and didn’t feel boring about it. Seriously? But before he play the movie in the class, he told us that we have to focus on it no matter how boring you feel at the first 10 minute for it. What? I thought that it won’t make me feel boring even one minute. Ok~ I try to be focus on it. The thing that I remember is the movie start with some bird fly over here and there and a monkey in a lake or river. It really make me feel boring, I am going to sleep at the time. But suddenly a gang of people sitting on the floor and shouting or spelling something. They look like sami and holding ceremony. Lecturer said that we will also get some idea or “surprise” from it. What I get from this view is like maybe in our eye, their action is so funny and superstitions, but maybe in them, it is important, they are praying for luck or healthy for them. Another part that I interest is about some chick in the industry. At 1st, we just feel like: “wow so cute”, but the next slide is the worker catch the chick and “burn” their “mouth”. It is so mean, I saw it from a book before, the worker burn their mouth is to prevent they fight and injured. It make the boss can’t sell them with the good price. I feel it so mean but I’m not vegetarian, I eat chicken also, am I mean also?  It is hard for me to become vegetarian, I love meat. It make me think about we always say that the guy that killed or mistreatment dog and cat are mean, but we eat chicken and duck is mean too…
If u guy are interest about the movie, u can search the full movie from google or youtube.
this is just the trailer~

semiotic


What is the first thing came to your mind when u saw this picture? Sexy? Hot? Yes~ haha~ this picture shown in my 1st tutorial class of media appreciation. The lecturer separated us to become six person in a group. He called us to discuss about this picture,analysis it. Then we start to discuss, about ‘him’. Erm…his smile so charm, he is so confident, his muscular, and why is the picture is in black and white… And the lecturer called one of the member from each group to give out their opinion.Unluckily, we are the last group, almost all our point are same we other, bt actualy we not dare to bethe 1st one, because we are ‘SHY’ haha. But, we havethe special point, that is about the black and white of the picture, none of the guy say about it. But in our opinion, we thought that it is because the model is too confident so that he don’t need any colour to help him to bring out the meaning of the advertisement. But we get a new idea from our lecturer, he said that maybe the black and white is help the people to put their focus on the white underwear. Wow~ it is cool, we don’t even think about this idea. Haha~ I think this is the message that the lecturer want to give out in the semiotic class, it mean that even a same things or picture, everyone will get different message from it.

Enjoy, Understand and Appreciate Media Content...

I think "TAKEN" can be count as the movie I love and enjoy most in my Top 3 list~
I father recommend this movie to me. Honestly, at first, I thought that it was just a normal action movie, nothing special at all..BUT, when I start watching this movie, I can't STOP. It was damn nice and the plot is quite meaningful. Maybe the action is quite cool or interesting for some other guys. But what attracted me is the love from the father to the daughter...
It begin with a girl called KIM has a divorced parent. She live with her mother and stepfather...ok ok...just start with the point, Kim lie to her father( Bryan) say that she is going to Paris with her friend (Amanda) for the U2 concert, but actually not just Paris and is European. Bryan find out that but because of the complaint from his ex-wife, he allowed his daughter to go. 
The things start when Kim arrive the airport, a guys name Peter show up and say that he would share a cab with Kim and friend. When they reach Amanda cousin condominium, Amanda invite Peter to her house and told Peter that no one is in the house now. Kim was shocked, she know nothing about that....
THEN, some guy show up and catch them..At the time, Kim is having phone call with her father. Bryan is a retired CIA, he told Kim to shout out anything thing that she saw from the kidnapper so that he can find her...
THe action place start... Bryan come to the Paris to save her daughter... The way that he save maybe is illegal but can we just judge that.. Peter die while Bryan chasing him, can we judge that Bryan unintentionally killed Peter?  
Bryan almost die because of Kim, it is so touching....( it is a Melodramatic movie, absent father and daughter reconnect)
This movie also cant count as the ability to distinguish emotional from reasoned reactions, like touch us at so touching scene, we enjoy losing ourselves in a good movie...
