Through listening to the presentations in class, I believe that they all were very informative. I think it is very interesting that all of the presentations are extremely different. They ranged from Lord of the Rings, to Batman, to Harry Potter, to 17 Again, and of course Space Jam.
I really enjoyed all of these presentations because they all were very informative. I have never understood the whole Lord of the Rings series, but through this project, I was able to learn and be informed all about it. Also, I never understood the whole Harry Potter deal, but through this I was able to learn more about it and in a sense, appreciate it more. A specific presentation that I really liked was 17 Again. The concept behind this project was very good. I really enjoyed the idea, which the hero did not have to be some macho man. The main character had to go through many trials to become a true hero. Another good and unique presentation was the one about Space Jam. This specific presentation got a few snickers and chuckles because it is a Looney Tunes cartoon with Michael Jordan and well, the Looney Tunes. The whole idea behind this movie is about a true hero and his journey to help save everyone from the Monstars. In this movie, Michael Jordan inspires the Looney Tunes to get their rights back and to steal the stolen powers and give them back to their “owners,” the NBA stars.
So far, all of the presentations have been very creative, thoughtful, and intuitive.

I agree Allie, I also think that all the presentations have been very creative and thoughtful. While I understand the movies that you say you have never really gotten a grasp for, these presentations for me as well were a great way to dive even deeper into the stories and look at the nitty gritty parts of each story. Good post.

ReplyDeleteI completely agree with what you said about enjoying the presentations that showed the hero cycle of complex movies such as Lord of the Rings and Harry Potter. Although I have seen both of these multiple times, it was very informative for someone to explain the exact hero cycle and how they can compare to books we have read in the class. I am looking forward to seeing your presentation today! Good Luck! And also Happy Birthday!!!

I also liked the wide ranges of the presentations. I talked about that in my blog a little bit too. I also liked Stephen's presentation on Space Jam, which is something else I talked about in my presentation. I am excited to see yours today about the Devil Wears Prada. I never thought that Miranda could be looked upon as a hero, however, it's cool that you found a hero in that movie. Happy birthday!!!! :) :) :) :)
