The book of John quotes Jesus as saying‚ “Let the one among you who is without sin be the first to cast a stone.” The notion he put forth is that no one is without sin‚ and therefore no one should have the right to judge others. Director Martin Scorsese goes one step further with his gritty film Taxi Driver‚ as he explores the mind of a delusional Vietnam veteran who feels he has the right to harshly judge others. The film is about antihero Travis Bickle‚ and his urge to clean up New York City by

Everyone loves a good superhero movie‚ but what about one that is focused on the bad guys and for some reason you actually want the bad guy to succeed. In some movies it is not always a superhero/villain. It may be a character who is just morally flawed but that viewers still pull for. In the case of the movie Deadpool he is both the superhero and villain. Viewers of the movie Deadpool admire the main character despite him being morally flawed. He is one of the examples where he is actually a bad

MYTHS AND HEROES I’m going to present the notion of myths and heroes. Myths and heroes have always been part of our lives‚ so we can ask: do we need heroes as role mode? To answer that‚ first I’m going to give the definition of a hero‚ and then I’m going to explain how a hero can influence us in our actions. To my mind‚ the two documents that illustrate the best this notion are “dream jobs” and “superheroes and morality”. This first documents is from a biography‚ “fighter pilots‚ the memoirs

With great super hero power becomes great responsibility‚ to the world in which we all live in as well as to the people whom live in it. Having the ability to become invisible would be a sight to see‚ or a sight not to be seen. My choice of a great and the ultimate superhero power would be to fly. For instance‚ no one else on Earth has this ability so it is an intriguing and unique opportunity in itself. This ability would place you in a rare class of superheroes‚ due to the fact that you so do

I found the connection between dreams and ancient religions to be the most intriguing part of the reading. It certainly does make sense that dreams might have inspired animism and other forms of religion and the way that the ancients interacted with dreams seems to share many similarities with how we interact with dreams. Similar to what happens in a Seneca Dream Guessing ceremony‚ people today analyze their dreams and interpret them in various ways‚ although it is not always in a spiritual light

Rogue One is a fantastic and well directed movie. The cast have done an amazing job in playing all the characters of the movie. The droid KS20 was probably the most lovable character‚ with his dry and sarcastic humor. The fantastic acting and development of the characters made their deaths extremely saddening. The visuals were top of the line. The space battles were planned perfectly‚ with subtle nostalgic moments in them‚ but not to the point where the scenes became a carbon copy of scenes from

Many fictional characters are based on what we wish we were like or what we want to be. Some have superhuman powers‚ while others are known for their extraordinary abilities. It is this desire to be like them which motivates us to aim high and set outstanding goals. Many people look towards film and television characters‚ and the one I look up to is Iron Man. Iron Man‚ also known as Tony Stark‚ is an influential scientist‚ inventor‚ and a member of The Avengers. As a young boy‚ Tony was fascinated
