  • College Admissions Essay: My Pursuit Of Perfection

    471 Words  | 2 Pages

    I have always been curious why perfection is so strongly sought after, even with the knowledge that such flawlessness is unattainable, and imperfection is often equated with failure. It is human nature to want to succeed; no one strives to do poorly, but it is not fair to limit ourselves to a system of either passing or failing. I used to believe that I must be the best at everything, regardless of my actual skills, interests, or talents. I wanted to be the distinguished athlete, the brilliant student, the amusing socialite and the compassionate friend at all times, and more importantly, I wanted to be the best in all of those categories simultaneously. The day I realized I couldn’t be perfect at everything was the same day I thought it would be best to drop out of AP Calculus.

    High concept films are generally known to be characterized by succinct storylines and mass audience appeal. Steven Spielberg’s 1975 thriller Jaws was historically pivotal in establishing the elements that constitute the framework of Hollywood high-concept cinema. With high box-office returns and heavy advertising, Toy Story 3 by Lee Unkrich (2008) also constitutes the same elements and worked along some of the same premises that constitute high-concept cinema.
