Escapism

The movie "Fresh" provides a riveting and eye-opening portrayal of the farming industry. Through its lens, we see the stark dichotomy between the idyllic image of the countryside and the harsh reality of animal mistreatment and overprocessed farming techniques. Watching the film, I was shocked by the lack of care many farms show towards their animals and the environment. However, it also highlighted the problematic reality these farms face in trying to meet the demands of a growing population in the United States. Despite the disheartening scenes, "Fresh" provides a powerful and necessary critique of the farming industry and encourages us to consider the impact of our food choices on animals and the planet.                                                             Source: Fresh At the film's beginning, we are introduced to a couple named...

 There aren't many shows that made me feel a specific way. I'm not one to have much of a reaction when watching or reading certain media. However, there was always one, Evangelion, an anime about three teenagers saving the world from alien monsters called Angels. Oh boy, surely that's what it's all about. Hang out with friends and go to the beach while saving the world simultaneously. Aren't most media about piloting giant robots all about? What more is there? Why is Evangelion, an anime from 1997, still being talked about?  To summarize the plot, there are three main characters: Shinji, Rei, and Asuka. All three have been tasked with destroying the Angels, giant monsters that come down to earth, seeking to destroy it. It's a simple enough plot for most people starting the anime, though that's what the anime wants you to think.

Advertisers strive to make their commercials engaging and entertaining to grab their audience's attention. Some commercials succeed in doing so, while others fail. One such successful commercial is Allstate's advertisement, which uses pathos to evoke emotions and create a light-hearted mood. The commercial uses humor to depict the consequences of not having insurance. It portrays the worst-case scenarios that could happen without insurance coverage. The actor featured in the commercial is Dean Winters, who does a fantastic job of portraying a bear with a sense of humor. In the commercial, the bear completely destroys a car, which is the focal point of the advertisement. The message is clear: unexpected things can happen, so having the right insurance coverage is crucial. Allstate is the insurance company that ca...

Childhood is a precious period in everyone's life. It's a time when we experience the world with fresh eyes, full of wonder and possibility. It's when we create some of our fondest memories, meet lifelong friends, and live a simpler life. The nostalgia of childhood is something many of us hold dear and never want to let go of. In this blog post, I want to dive into the world of the indie game Omori and explore the character of Sunny. Sunny, the game's protagonist, symbolizes the struggle of leaving his childhood behind. As well as the world that he created for himself, Headspace.   Sunny is the protagonist; the player plays for the whole game's length. Sunny is classified as a shut-in who wishes to not leave their home. While playing as a shut-in may not be seen as exciting, it's why he's the way he is. It's a massive plot twist, which I would not be spoiling. Nevertheless, Sunny ends up creating this whole world called Headspace. It's an imaginary p...
