Rear Window Part 1

 Impressive. After some research, I found that it was made in 1954 and it honestly doesn't look like it. I have seen worse from younger movies, quality-wise. Except for that helicopter that they tried to put in, it didn't look real at all.

    We watched a good part of the movie Rear Window today in class because we will start talking about film stories and everything that comes with it. The movie is about a photographer that got injured while doing his work. He is sitting in his wheelchair looking through the back window of his apartment. He kind of spies on people in their backyards. The one apartment seems very suspicious to him and multiple things make him think that the husband killed his wife. 

    Without having seen the end I think that the husband actually killed his wife and tried to hide it by not changing anything in his apartment. He is keeping the blinds open and isn't stressed. I think the photographer will be right and be very happy to prove to his friend the detective. I think the husband killed his wife but didn't put her in the box that he shipped somewhere like the main character thinks. One night, the husband walked in and out of the apartment three times in the middle of the night with his suitcase. I think the husband used his saw to cut her up and put her in that suitcase. He was going to get rid of the body parts that night and cleaned up everything before opening the blinds up again. 

    Maybe I watch too many murderers documentaries on Netflix but it sounds like it could make sense, a little bit. 

    I think the movie is a very simple one but a very hard one to make. The plot is very simple, one guy stays at his window spying on people. I don't know much about making movies but just thinking about it, it is definitely hard to make a movie captivating when it stays at the same location for one hour and a half and when the characters never change, or almost. When you watch the movie it seems like nothing really happens. it just seems like a normal day for an injured person but when you actually think about it, it's actually very interesting to see everything that happens. I think the directors also did a very good job putting some interest in every neighbor the photographer has. Every single one of them has something suspicious going on and could be a part of a crime.

    I would recommend this movie for a night when you are tired and don't want to try to solve a gigantic puzzle. It's very easy to follow and will give you a good laugh before going to bed.

Can't Like Everything

 Everyone has different interests and likes different things     We were asked to read other texts in my Intro to English class and two come to my mind right now. The first one being Kate Chopin's The Story of an Hour and also Jhumpa Lahiri's Interpreter of Maladies. I will go directly to the point, I didn't have that much pleasure in reading those two short stories.      One of the reasons, I didn't like The Story of an Hour is that I got a little bit confused reading it. I also think it was so short that we didn't have time to get to know the characters. We didn't have time to get attached to them or to hate them. Everything happens so quickly that we don't get to appreciate what actually happens.      The woman that is our main character, experiences a lot of emotions in a very small amount of time. We get told that she hates her husband, but also a heart disease, she thinks her husband doesn't let her make her own decisions. She dislikes ...

Backgrounds: Very Good or Very Bad

 People's backgrounds can be very difficult to understand.     Recitatif is one of the short stories that has opened my eyes the most this year. It was written by Toni Morrisson in 1983. The whole story is about these two little girls that were put into a place for orphans but they both still have their moms. We learn about their experience there but also after the orphan place, we learn about their path to being adults and taking on life as grown-ups.     It's about Twyla and Roberta, two young girls that were put in the same room at the orphanage, one girl is black and the other is white but the story never really tells us which one is which. Twyla's mom is a said dancer at night, in other words, a prostitute that couldn't take care of her daughter so decided to place her somewhere she could have a better life. Roberta's mom is said sick all the time, which made my class think she has mental problems which make her incapable of taking care of her little girl. ...

Why is My Brain Different

     Different races or all the same. We real cool or they real cool? I am talking about Gwendolyn Brooks' poem We Real Cool. Here is the poem: We Real Cool The pool players. Seven at the Golden Shovel We real cool. We Left school. We Lurk late. We Strike straight. We Sing sin. We Thin gin. We Jazz June. We Die soon.      We talked about this poem in class last week and some people brought up pretty good points. First of all, Ms. Brooks is black which automatically made us think WE was about the black community. She never mentioned it though. We assumed and stuck to that. Another hint that can lead us toward that conclusion is the line about jazz. Back then jazz was a music genre that was most popular in the black community.      This is something very interesting to me because I come from Canada and am not used to this whole race conflict. I would always see the things that would happen here with black and white people like the George Floyd ...
