The media is a way of life. Many people live by the media. The media tells us what is popular, what isn't, and what the "cool" people in this world are doing.
The media keeps us up to date with the world. It is an expression through some sort of physical medium, as oppose to speaking. Newspapers, television, the internet, radio are all types of media. Just like people, these medias have opinions. The difference is that many people are buying into these opinions. Somebody could sit at home all day and never go out and would still know what is going on. They could just buy into what the media is telling them to like. As people, we need the media and we rely on it. Still, we can't get to obsest with it. People need to be their own person and have their own opinions. The media can be very manipulative and nagging.
The media plays a HUGE part in past and this upcoming election. Most of the country gets to know the candidates through the media; through television, newspaper, magazine, and the internet. Bush could be a completely different person than what he poses to be on the media. He could have a media personality and a normal one. He likes to portray himself as this "man from the ranch." Most people don't know that he really didn't grow up on a ranch. He grew up a rich boy going to private school.
Most people aren't up front first row watching Bush and listening to what he says. We learn about him from the media. The media is made up of people and their ideas. So in fact, we are just listening to other people's interpetations. Now, everybody has opinions and preferences, so who is to say they can't put a tilt on what they put out.
The War in Iraq is a huge factor for Bush's fait as future President. The media could show him up with the war and make him look bad. They could criticize the war and why we're there, while linking it back to Bush. On the other hand, they could glorify the war and talk about our national security. They could say that the fight on terrorism is over or lessened and this is all due to Bush's actions. The people could either agree or disagree with both, yet if he media is siding with one opinion, the public will follow. We are too dependent on the media.
Bush has a plan on how he will win the election. He is going to attempt to put it out in a cetrain way, get out exactly what he wants, but it will have to be through the media. You never know, the media could change what he's saying, put it out in a way that Bush hadn't intended, or attack his points, for example, the casual ranch man he is posing to be.
Basically, a good film has to have many aspects to it. First off, the movie has to start off right. It needs to catch my attention and lure me in. A good film should have good shots, memorable shots. I want to get a sense of the environment and mood. Next, the actors and actresses need to be good, honestly. I want to love the way they act and be able to sympathize with them. If something is happening in the movie and the actor is acting a way I really don't think someone would act in the situation, I begin to watch the movie focusing on the bad parts and how I would change it. Punch lines and scenes need to be included. The director needs to get into my mind and bring out my interest. In movies I like, I enjoy being surprised or lead on the wrong way. Directors that play with the viewer's mind and emotions are the real good ones, for examples, Quentin Tarrantino. He goes back and forth with the story, letting you know exactly what he wants so that the ending is very powerful and good.
