(I have two different ideas)
Log Line 1: A boy wishes to play soccer but his parents forbid him to play and wish for him to get an education
Log Line 2: A boy becomes injured while playing soccer and strives to over come the injury by playing, but becomes even more injured and is unable to play ever again.
1) A boy is seen playing soccer in different locations. Rapidly switching from location to location. Streets to park to school to turf etc. Then you see him studying from place to place. Park bench, in the kitchen, at school, at lunch, in his room, on the couch. He comes home late in his soccer clothes and his parents scold him. They hold the soccer ball and take it away. The boy puts his head down on his desk in his room. You see him turn on the tv to soccer and then you see they pile of hw on his desk grow and grow and grow. He still neglects it ad instead keeps watching the tv.
2) Same shots as one before. A boy playing in all these different locations. You can tell he is good because he is always scoring and people are hugging and congratulating him. One day he is playing and he gets injured, he cannot live without soccer and you see him walking by the park helplessly staring at the people playing soccer. He goes to the doctor to see how long he has to wait before he can play again. The doctor says not for a while. So the boy eventually tries to play despite the doctors warning. He becomes even more injured and he is unable to play ever again.

Blog #10 - Foregrounding
Research Topic: Comparing how the characters in the two movies act and how it relates to their culture.
King Kong
One specific scene I was thinking about was in King Kong when the filmmakers are on the island and they let people die just to get a good shot of the dinosaurs. This shows the American culture as willing to do anything to make a fast buck. It also shows the morals of the characters and how a lot of Americans can be.
Another scene I was thinking of was when the filmmakers and others take down King Kong on the island. They capture him like if it is nothing and there is no guilt for it or knowledge of how immoral it is. This once again shows Americans and how they can be so oblivious to other cultures and values. They are selfish and greedy.
this fits for both scenes above because it has both scenes in the video
Another scene was when King Kong fights the planes. This shows his strength and will to protect Anne. This desire to help her proves his love for her. This symbolizes how even though he may be this huge powerful ape, he still possess the qualities of humans. For example, humans also have the qualities of wanting to be powerful like King Kong is, proving that they can overcome multiple enemies and be able to face danger, and seem as though they are invincible. Even though both humans and King Kong share these desires, they also both have the ability to love. (scene with T-rexes is good too)
Godzilla, Mothra and King Ghidorah: Giant Monsters All-Out Attack
There is a scene where Yuri says to her friend how she wish she had been born a man because then she would be able to do whatever she wants to do with out restrictions. She would be able to follow her story about Godzilla without disapproval from others. This reflects Japan’s culture and how they still look down upon women as not suitable enough to compete with men.
Another would be a series of scenes or flashes of each guardian monster attacking Godzilla. These monsters died to protect their homeland from Godzilla. It parallels citizens fighting corruption in the government but failing because the government is so powerful, as is Godzilla. Another thing is that the actions of the monsters reflects Japanese in how people put family first and their homeland first. They are willing to sacrifice their lives for the greater good. People can be very unselfish.
There is a great quote near the end of the movie when the monsters are fighting against Godzilla and so is the girl’s father. She explains how the monsters are fighting for their homeland so that the people’s children will have a future. It is a great quote. It shows the despair and hope at the same time. The combination of the inspirational speech and the fighting the background provides a dual feeling of suspense and hope. This relates to the fact that society in Japanese culture are willing to fight for family and other values.
