Entry Mission Four: Fight Club

Image result for fight club movie poster        Do you remember that 1999 movie that came out that was about a man that didn't realize that he had two personalities until the conclusion of the film? Yep, you know what movie I am talking about, Fight Club. This film may seem so unrealistic to the levels that the film took the characters Brad Pitt and Edward Norton to the point of destroying where the character lived. Yet, there have been so many conversations, inspirations, and connections that we have seen throughout the years since the release of the classic film. Some may come to say that the film is better than the book that was written by Chuck Palahniuk. I have not read the book, but personally loved the concept of the film as well. I still have to rewatch it and see the connections that the film makes to the mental capacity to creating this "Fight Club." But we all don't ever get to the point that we feel the need to create such a club, create such a lawless aspect of fighting. In the film, it was a way to release anger, but in real life, the pain and consequences become more real than they seem. I am here to say that there has been a report today of a "Fight Club" in the center of where the public would never expect. 

     "2 day care workers are charged after child 'fight club' video surfaces," Jay Croft and Marlena Baldacci, CNN introduce the title of their article. Nope, I am not lying. Two daycare workers organized multiple children to fight against each other. All the children that were in the room being supervised were between the ages 4 and 5. If you thought that was crazy, it was a 10-year-old, he had his brother in the class fights, that recorded almost 30 minutes of the actions that took place December 7th, 2016. You think that two women would devote their lives to the children that they raise, maybe try to earn money outside of their day

job. Nope. The women that you see to your left Mickala Guliford, and to the far right is Tena Dailey. I wouldn't even know their names if they organized this type of event with adults. If I would questions that seem to come unanswered would  be, "What were you thinking?" "What was the lesson you were trying to prove to the children?" "Was there a designated purpose for allowing children to battle one another with minimal protection? 

     Well, that is what the world is turning to. At least it took almost two decades to get the point that these women seek it out to be a good idea. There is no further information that is on this matter other than the arrest, but that is all that I need to know to be satisfied that "Mickala Guliford, 28, and Tena Dailey, 22, were charged with endangering the welfare of a child, a felony, according to probable cause statements from prosecutors,"(Croft and Baldacci).

Entry Mission Three: Slanted Reports

Image
    Hey, there aga in, I am here to bring a film that was released to your attention, and to the light that it may deserve. If you had read my previous blogs, you know my interest in films, but I stumbled upon reading about facts that connect to the film Gosnell. I was unaware of the film, as the advertisements on the films have been pulled from the general audience. What you may also be unaware of is the facts itself. Gosnell ran an abortion clinic and the reasoning behind his life sentence in prison is  involuntary manslaughter . Now that you know the facts behind the man, we can dive into breaking down the report that I can come across to define more of an opinion.      The title of the article  by Jason Riley, October 16 at The Wall Street Journal  fires away, "Movie of a Murderer serving life sentence faces media blackout. " (Riley).   Riley doesn't take the consideration of going into the trail and only goes directly going into th...

Entry Mission Six: KIN

    I watch a lot of movies, and the one that I would like to talk about that is fresh on my mind. Watching the trailer produced for the film, you think that the movie is just going to be straight syfy action throughout. That is what my thoughts were leaping into this film about a boy that finds a weapon that only he can control. When he finds the weapon, it triggers people to hunt for the weapon throughout the film, meaning that a fast-paced plot can thicken in a two-hour period.     If you were having the same thought process, you are wrong as much as me, yet it was a heart-warming surprise. This might be one of my recent cherished films because it comes close to my heart when it comes to what the plot of the movie developed into. Movies are not becoming any better, as there are so many that are hard to top the classics that live on. KIN is a film that has so much going on but revolves around the young actor that stars in this film. It was calm, although had that ...

Entry Mission Seven: Conversation Starter

    Do you use hashtags? If you do, that's awesome, although I do not use them I get the concept simply because I have been in the world long enough. I may not use social media, but I talk to people in general conversations, and it is hard enough to bring up topics that one person would like to talk about. Talking to multiple people is the sole purpose of social media, especially when it comes to spreading the word that you would like to get out.     You want to speak to your audience on topics that you would like to discuss, hear opinions, and get to the bottom of what you desire an answer from. For example, if I was to go to go to my account and just type #Weekend  I would get so many different responses that no two will be the same to how the responder sees their weekends. Some people may be able to relate to how they felt on their weekend, or the activities, or what everyone just got to accomplish on their weekend. Or you may be apart of the un...
