Blog Post #27 Character Development Part: One

 Today I will be analyzing the character development in the film "The Green Mile" and how it helps convey the overall plot and the essential idea it is trying to convey.



The Green Mile is a film that uses the character development of the guards in the prison and their image of "John Coffey" throughout the film. At the beginning of the film the guards are seemingly afraid of John Coffey, and they are rather skittish around him, this is because of his sheer height and size with him being listed at 6, 8 and built in the film's bio. But as the film progress and the plot continues to expand, they learn to trust John and become somewhat friends with him. Then finally at the end of the film, the guards are heartbroken as John Coffee is forced to face the electric chair.



 With them even offering to free him and risk losing their jobs, this character development helps convey the main point to never judge a book by its cover and that some good people still face problems they can't overcome. "John Coffey" in this film is conveyed as a saint from heaven with him only wanting to help and heal people. This leads to him unfortunately being falsely convicted of killing two young children, even while he was trying to heal them of their wounds. The point of John Coffey's character is to convey the idea that a good person can even be seen in a bad light. This leads to the direct character development of the guards and this character development helps to convey the other main essential idea to never judge a book by its cover.

  Today I will be talking about social media and its affects on our perspectives. So, everyone that we know and mostly everyone in our world uses social media for everything from sports to politics. This use of social media can help us in many ways such as staying up to date on the current fashion trends, helping us stay entertained with fun videos, and even helping us with day-to-day situations through tutorials. That being said social media can also cause many people to unfortunately suffer at the end of social media. This includes spreading mis-information, cyber bullying, and even identity theft. So with that being said let's look at some ways that social media can hurt or help athletes across the globe. An example of social media helping athletes is Ja Morant, where his highlight plays throughout college helped him develop a name for himself as a highlight reel machine and this helped attract the attention of NBA scouts. He wasn't in a flashy college like Duke or Kan...

Blog Post #6 Sports in Film

Today I will be analyzing The Longest Yard, which is a Sports Films and how it is good at helping convey the other genres in that film through its different micro elements, specifically Mise-en-Scene. The Longest Yard The Longest Yard is a football movie that is centered around a star quarterback who got into trouble with the law, this getting him arrested. Then this brings up the location which is centered in a prison with the quarterback ("Paul Crewe", The main character) having to put together a football team to compete with the guards of that prison. This is because the prison wants to humiliate the prisoners and make it seem as though they are nothing compared to the guards of the prison, it will also re-assure the public about their prison security and their overall security system. But that doesn't go as planned because the "Coms" win and prove everyone wrong, becoming the crowd favorite and partially restoring their public image in the process. This conn...
