Perception of War Movies/Platoon

I must admit I have seen a great an amount of different kinds of war movies, similar to platoon. These films always leave me wondering what these soldiers really felt like. I think platoon was great in its own special way. The one thing I found that I found interesting about the particular film is how they focused on the social life of the soldiers. I personally enjoyed the scene of the soldiers getting drunk. Before watching this film, I didn’t know that these things existed in the Vietnam War. But it seems that of all of these movies the main idea is showing the pride of the American military. Because one thing I can say that is common amongst all of these different war films is the way the present the U.S Military. All of these movies give me a perception that the U.S soldiers went through tough times, but at the same time everyone felt a tremendous amount of patriotism for there country. I think that the most important, that the viewers have a sense of respect for the U.S Military. A similar movie that I thought was similar to this movie the patriot, with stared Mel Gibson, It seem that the makers of the film general purpose was to show the viewers the pride of Mel Gibson, who was a soldier. Or even troy, though it wasn’t about the U.S military, the fact still remains that there was a strong sense of pride on both sides. I sometimes wonder why this idea is emphasized so much in films no of days. I personally think that these movies are designed under this idea because perhaps the government feels that it’s important of how other nations perceive us. Generally I think that these films can only be air if is demonstrates the military in a fair way. Through Platoon showed some negative scenes of the military. I don’t think it necessarily think the scene of the vandalizing the innocent villages, or getting drunk and high was appropriate. So over all I the war films in this country present the military in a certain way, in a way that the viewers feel confident in the military soldiers.

New York Library of Perfoming Art Library

The New York City Library one of a few interesting libraries that i visited within the last few weeks. Like all other big libraries, this one has it's own unique style. First and formost, i found it very dificault to find. The idea that you had to walk through the whole outside exhibit, before entering the libary, made it quite hard to reach my destination. Due to the fact that there was very little classmates there, clearly means that i wasn't the only one who had problems getting to the library. I also found theater movies and CD's such as Bruce LeeI didn't really find to much the struck me as being interesting, i didn't really find anything more but a well structured first floor. I walk past the front desk to pursue the second floor. This is when the library began to become interesting. One thing that i like on the second floor was the collection of videos. There was acully a colletion on videoes on accent. The DVD's acully offers leasons on how to perfom a accent diffrent from american. One that caught my eye was the David Alan Stern Series.
On the third floor i found what seems like a very usefull resource area. With resouce computers. To go with the the resource center i found great drawing from as early as the day of Mozart, there was a great painting of the Motartz Family in 1780. This was just one of many different paintings that i observed. However i did find so usefull information that i think would be relevent to my final project. Due to the fact that my project will explore the idea of public decentcy laws, in which certain states find it unacceptable to wear your pants the way to want.
I saw some interesrting magazies on fashion. I think magezines with this kind of information would be very usefull to my to my project, in the sense that i am focused on the fahsion and the perspective of the society, veres the government's perspective.

My weekend

This was a great weekend for me. Friday i went to a party with my brother, and i had a ball. But what made my weekend so cool was the fact the my i brought a xbox 360. Now my room is complete. I don't have any reason to be bored. I am always busy now. I am not sure if it's benificial, but i do have fun. I sometimes worry that the game will distract me from my school work, and keep me up all hours of the night. I try to have self control.
