I am beyond excited to see this movie. Ever since I saw the first preview, I was instantly hooked. The level of violence, deception, cruelness, hatred, and intimacy seem so riveting. The dynamics between the two characters are so intriguing and haunting, I have watched the trailer at least ten times because it is that enticing. I also enjoy the role of a dominant, female character. Just from the previews, Amy Adams seems ruthless, dangerous, and clever, one of the main reasons I am so excited to see this film. I love the haunting, darkness the movie gives off, can’t wait to see what it is all about!
Westworld has become my new, favorite show! It seriously evokes so many different levels of thinking, it’s mind boggling. It is one of the reason why I love the show so much. It represents so many different situations and characters, it is fascinating. I feel so involved and in relationship with the characters, I want to take part in the Revolution with them. I also like the strong, female characters. The women are figuring things out on their own, they do not need anyone or anything to validate their quest as to who they are, or what they are living in. I am so excited for the future of this show. Continue with your greatness, Westworld!

Since the news of the recent presidential election, it is easy to say that people of color and women feel disenfranchised and isolated because of the views of what the American people chose on Nov. 8. It is almost surreal to even understand what actually happened, but as the same time, in order to understand the horror, we must learn why America leaned toward a racist, sexist, homophobic man as our president. Toni Morrison’s article does a great job breaking down the logic behind this chaotic election and outcome. I feel sadness for myself and my fellow peers who have been, are, and will be affected by this outcome.

I am so excited to see this film! I think it is amazing that it's being broadcasted for free around the world. Education is one of the most powerful platforms, and all have a right to access, learn, and understand the fate of our world. This is something that EVERYONE can learn from. Sharing this around the world will only bring us closer and fight for climate change. I was instantly moved when I saw the first commercial. Knowledge is power, and the fact that this is given out for free, makes it so much more special and important to watch and understand the importance of climate change.
Excerpt:
By now, you have probably heard that Leonardo DiCaprio has a new documentary about climate change coming out. So how can you watch it? The Fisher Stevens-directed documentary will make its television debut on National Geographic’s channel in 171 countries and 45 languages on Sunday, Oct. 30.
Additionally, in an unprecedented move, National Geographic also announced today that Before the Flood will premiere commercial free across digital and streaming platforms around the world as part of the network’s commitment to covering climate change.
That means not only can you catch the critically acclaimed film on cable, from Oct. 30 through Nov. 6, you can also watch it on just about any website or device where you regularly stream online videos. The exhaustive list includes: Natgeotv.com, YouTube, Facebook, Twitter, Amazon, iTunes, Hulu, Sony PlayStation, GooglePlay, VOD/Video On Demand (through MVPD set-top boxes), MVPD Sites and Apps, Nat Geo TV Apps (iPhone, iPad and Apple TV, Roku, Android phones, Xbox One and 360, Samsung Connected TVs) and more.
The idea behind this historic premiere is to educate as many people around the world about climate change and to also bring the topic to the forefront before the Nov. 8. election where a number of candidates seeking public office—including a certain orange-hued Republican—denies that climate change is even real.
Coming back to you was the best decision I made. No one or place in the world has made feel the security like you have. Something about being surrounded by your endless opportunities, culture, love, independence, and freedom shape my pride. My abstinent from you only heightened my curiosity. You embody a degree of possibilities, education, and life. I have let these things surface back into my own life, and I owe it all to you. The challenge was well worth it. You have not only impacted me but the world and people I share it with. Don’t ever change.
I fell in love with this movie the first time I watched it. I think it does a great job representing the beauty of everyday life. The director invited us into the home of a family that we have seen on many occasions, exemplified the natural situations, and showed the value of these moments. We hype ourselves on the idea that certain, routine moments in our life are supposed to shape and define who or what we will become, but the moments rest on the daily, influential relationships you have with others and yourself. The movie does a great job to highlight these aspects of life. It is easily relatable to all people.
“That’s a lot of what the movie is about—the importance of everyday life, and that these big moments that we expect to define us in the end don’t mean anything, really, or don’t mean anything more than the other moments, and that it’s really every moment that counts. That’s more what our conversations were about—little things about how I interacted with my friends on a daily basis, and how I talked to my parents and what I would do when I was alone.” ~ Ellar Coltrane, on Boyhood
