    Ferris Bueller analysis. Here’s mine. Bueller is a self absorbed narcissistic low grade sociopath. He lies to everyone around him to satisfy what he wants with no remorse. He lies to his parents, he impersonates a parent and uses his emotionally brittle friend to the max. That’s the short of it. Did I miss anything?

    8:25 "In what waaaaay does the author's use of the prison symbolize the protagonist's struggle... AND how does this relate to our discussion of the uses of irony?" This film is really about the garage dudes taking the Ferrari out for a spin to put some miles on it for Cameron. OK, OK, it's really about how Jeannie, after her encounter with Charlie Sheen in the police station, has a complete attitude adjustment and outlook on life and saves Ferris' butt from Edward Rooney at the end! Also Ferris gives us that great advice at the very end - "Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while you could miss it."

    I don't think the Oscars are legitimate at times where critics and those that decide who wins the award have yet to see the movie that they chose for the nomination. (Sometimes they just ask what their friends think, thereby killing the point of being a critic in the first place. It's impact is thus dulled as a result of this happening.) It doesn't help that nowadays Oscars have an increased dependency on quotas for movies being nominated, thereby rendering art into forced standards rather than fully unobstructed or nuanced forms of art, as they should be.

Richard does end up teaching tech ethics 😆and I do think they leave the door open for actually creating a better future, its just an honest look at how hard it is.

    After watching Moral Orel I felt glad to be born and raised in a family and a culture where organised religion fell by the wayside decades ago for the majority of the population. Where I’m from, religious people are the minority. Out of all of the religions I’ve been exposed to in my lifetime, Christians have been the most judgmental while also being the biggest hypocrites. I’ve known Muslims, Sikhs, Jews, Hindus - and none of them ever told me I was going to hell. My best friend when I was seven told me I was going to hell because I’m not catholic - that is what she got out of the classes she took in preparation for her first holy communion. I told my father, who told her mother - who then phoned our house apologising profusely. Still - that is what she took away from her religious education - I haven’t forgotten it.

    Andrew was a very nice, super sweet, and attentive guy. The only problem with that is, being nice doesn’t pay the bills. From his mom, his college girlfriend, and even Domino, they all “needed” a man who can pay the bills, and whatever other nice things brought to the table are simply a bonus. I’ve experienced this in my own life, having a great connection with a woman, only to be passed up for some guy who makes a lot of money. This movie is a great lesson for guys who are hopeless romantics but haven’t put much thought into their career. Love doesn’t pay the bills.

    Barbarella has been made into a better film through these odd take aways that it is some clever female empowerment film. But Barbarella is essentially nothing more than a sex toy in the film, she is constantly in the need of saving, being talked into sex, lucking into winning, putting men in jeopardy, and boiled down to nothing but eye candy. Even the concept of humanity losing the ability of human sensation isnt correct, it was just the rich that found sex through technology to be more appealing. Its also a strange takeaway that they dont make movies like this anymore, they do, its just, like this movie, they are now dumped on streaming and not seen as a blockbuster because like this movie they are cult trash. Barbarella wasnt a huge success, being listed 45th on the grossing film of 1968 so comparing this to dune is a bit of a stretch. it would be more fair to liken These swings in science fiction to the form of superheroes, which is what Barbarella technically is by based off of a comic book. I find its positive outlook confusing and see the only reason for being happy about sydney sweeny doing a remake is because people are attracted to her. Jane fonda herself has stated that she hopes they make it feminist because they missed the mark.
