5 favorite movies

*Not in order 

1. Casablanca- This movies is maybe one of the most classic best movies I ever watched. I really like everything about it: the script, character development, plot, and setting. It is just such a classic love story, and probably one of the most quotable movies in the world along with the Godfather. 

2. Omar- I saw this movie about a month ago at living-room theaters in Portland Oregon. By the way it is the best movie theatre in the world you can order key lime pie and you can have them bring it in the audotorium while you are watching the movie. Anyway, this movie is a foreign film, and it takes place in Pakistan and it is another love story, but also has a not-so happily ever after like casablanca. I thought the plot was really interesting and there was a lot of dialogue which I really enjoyed. 

3. The Godfather- "I am going to give them an offer they can't refuse". This movie is maybe the best movie in the world. The Godfather is based on Mobsters in New York in the 40's, I love mob movies because i love the social dynamics of the whole Mob. 

4. Her-  This movie was surprisingly good I also saw this one in Living Room Theatres. I really liked the plot and how technology could take over our world and cease human interaction. This movie is based in the near-future and is about this guy named Theodore who falls in love with an OS which is this sphere like object that you stick in your ear you it will talk to you, kind of like an earphone without the wire. Anyways the cultural aspect of this movie as well is really quite intriguing. 

5. Gone With the Wind- Scarlett O'Hara is maybe my favorite character in any film ever. I love this movie, it takes place during the civil war and it is just her adventure through it. I will warn you though about 4 people about six people die in this movie, making it pretty depressing but the end is so irritatingly great.

Power isn't happiness

In the second quote that Dr.D gave us it is states "If you are in a position of power, you are happy. I disagree with this quote for multiple reasons. The first one is just because you are high in the social class hierarchy or political hierarchy doesn't mean your life is full filing. Everybody has problems and tends to be the people who have an abundant amount of stress layed on them. Which tends to be the people in the higher part of the hierarchy because they have so much stress put on them. There is also a  whole physiology study on how people are perfectly happy with not people in power, and are full-filled with their quaint modest life. Just because you are in power doesn't make you happy, it is people who stand by you and interact with you that make your life-fullflilling. This refers to Macbeth long need for power, and how his wife will not be happy without becoming Queen of Scotland. 

Ambition is the key to success

For the first quote it that was presented to us it stated "Ambition is a positive desirable trait in a person". I completely agree with this, ambition is definitely something everyone should acquire throughout their life towards a goal. One time during summer two years ago I really wanted new bedroom furniture. My was all scratched up pink and child-like. I found the one that I wanted and it was a lot of money like $700 and I never saved up anything like before. So, overtime I began accumulating money whether it was from babysitting jobs, mooching from my dad, or doing chores. Eventually, I raised enough money to buy the furniture and I was so happy because it was something I did all by myself. Ambition also has to do with mental capability, meaning whether or not if you have that I think I can attitude towards life. This relates to Macbeth in the passage that we read today in class. Now, it is not in the most positive light, but it still refers to what I am saying. When Macbeth's wife is trying to convince the Macbeth to do it, but he doesn't think he can, but with enough encouragement and influence from Macbeh's wife he believes he can do it, and we all know that he ends up doing so. So his ambitious goal is succeeded.
