    Gavin Hood's adaptation of Orson Scott Card’s Ender’s Game was an okay film it was neither great and neither was it bad. The movie does not include how the buggers communicate with each other, and battle school looks different from what I pictured it to be. The movie makes look the same and just move some things around. The way the movie shows the battle room is still pretty cool, because you can float around and do some awesome things while floating around. In the book the battle room would change the environment every time after a battle was finished. The battle room has these big led squares for cover. In the book ender did use the cover that had led lights on them, but he also used himself as camouflage,…

    The birth scene has a gloomy tone and color scheme, suggesting that this method of living is something humans should avoid. Since this film is a futuristic film about the use of the findings from the Human Genome Project, this film is warning us about the possible misuse of the new genetic information. Geneticists are an important job in the film because after one second, the blood is being tested and geneticists can determine your life and future.

This can be seen in Blade Runner by Ridley Scott, THX 1138 by George Lucas, and Children of Men by Alfonso Cuaron, as the landscapes help develop the complexity of the story. The directors of these films use setting and landscape to express and contribute to the development of the main argument of each film.…

    In studying the nature of knowledge I find myself agreeing with empiricism. I find it to have valid points that make the most sense to me. Born without experiences, we go through life developing schemas, good and bad ones; however these schemas and ideas become a part of us, and helps us to see things as we have experienced them in past situations. The things we learn from these past encounters become empirical beliefs. As an empiricist, I need empirical evidence to justify believing in something. I find empiricism attractive for the simple reasoning behind it. I can know my mother is standing in front of me because my senses of seeing, feeling, and hearing are reliable forms of empirical evidence.…
