The series, `the walking dead` has been a paper I wanted to write about, although people have different opinions on what the movie is about. I find it involving quick the mix of politics, survival, psychology, and power. The show teaches us what humans are capable of doing especially when their lives are being threatened. It also shows how humans still want power even when their species are being extinct. Each character in the movie has a different philosophical standpoint that made the movie interesting as well as applicable in the real world. Kant, Mill, Socrates, and locke can be used to explain the philosophical analysis of the movie. Rick is the lead actor in the series, his personality was selfless, brave and honest. If Socrates was …show more content…
These people experienced both pain and pleasure making then a judge because they have actually lived in both worlds (Mill, pg. 159) to be able to survive in the series. An example of one character is Coral, who was a sweet innocent woman constantly been hit by her husband, but after the death of her husband and things got tough she stood up for herself and sometimes took matters into her own hands. In season four when the prison got infected with the deadly flu that was spreading, she secretly eliminated the infected people, because the flu was deadly and transmittable. In Mill’s Utilitarian her action was justifiable and selfless, rather than have the whole group die an incurable transmitted disease it was in the groups best interest to eliminate the few infected ones for the survival of the whole crew. Kant will most certainly disagree with this because in Kant’s system, `all our moral duties are expressed in the form of categorical imperatives’ (Vaughn, pg. 164). His philosophical mindset coincides with Dale, who believe every life is important even when his wife was dying of cancer he still could not accept her fate. Both dale and Kant believe any interior motives to action cannot be regarded as good. Beauty and virtue are inner feelings that derive from within the human; and morality depends on reasons, goodwill, and duty. But in a more practical society we all can’t be virtuous, neither are we allowed to be self-centered, but a bit of both world help give society in balance. Humans have a purpose, the purpose to live and survive, the purpose to succeed and achieve success and the purpose strive every day. It is these purposes that distinguish us from other
Do you live in a dystopian society? No one tells you anything, you’re unhappy, or you feel inferior to others or in some cases exactly the same. Then you might live in a government controlled or dystopian society. Important lessons that can be learned from the movie about the dangers of a dystopian society or a government controlled society are no individuality and you don’t have any control. One characteristic of a dystopian society is no individuality.
Everyone has experienced pain, but we all deal with it differently. Some people try to avoid experiencing pain, for they are scared; while others accept their punishment and agony. Moral people tolerate their pain and trauma by making their traumatic experience meaningful and important. They learn from their punishment and try to provide insight. In the stories of Antigone and Boycott, Letter From Birmingham Jail, righteous people fought for their beliefs without violence and dealt with their suffering without hesitation.
First Thoughts in the Zombie Apocalypse: This Sucks The zombie apocalypse is a fate that modern entertainment seems obsessed with exploring. It seems every summer a new hit blockbuster appears, covering the horrific details of yet another fictional outbreak of a disease which turns humans into mindless, cannibalistic shells of their former selves. The appeal of these stories is obvious – not only is the thought of our loved ones becoming mindless animals titillating and terrifying, when one watches these films one begins to question whether he or she could survive such an ordeal. The struggles are arduous, and many; could our society manage to work together against a common enemy, could it manage to exterminate those who were once loved family
Rick Grimes the Hero Someone who I think is a great hero is Rick Grimes, from the television show The Walking Dead. A hero is someone who embodies the characteristics of courage and strength, and they are able to overcome their challenges in order to defend their families, communities, and even the world. In my opinion, I think Rick embodies all these qualities and many more. He will do anything to protect this family, friends, and way of life. I think Rick is a great example of a hero in the contemporary media.
Many people wonder why us teens enjoy dystopian movies and literature. Our reasons why we enjoy these kind of films and books are because it interest us, it makes us to think outside the box, it shows us a different lifestyle to live. For examples like the book “Anthem” by Ayn Rand and the movie “The Giver” by Philip Noyce. The movie and film both have a dystopian setting. For their dystopian ideas they both made them having some kind of rebel, who believes in more than just black and white or normal.
He urges people to live simply and warns against the difference between “essentials” and just extra “stuff.” As he says, “Our life is frittered away by detail. ” We focus so much on the future and all the silly distractions going on around us, that we lose sight of what is really important. He believed we don’t need as much technology, for example. Also, we could live off of one meal a day instead of three or four.
In the article “My Zombie, Myself: Why Modern Life Feels Rather Undead,” Chuck Klosterman offers profound commentary on why zombies are so popular. One reason Klosterman’s argument is
The film focuses on the characters lives and how they can keep going when they struggle with society. The film uses rhetorical strategies such as pathos, ethos, and logos to make this movie bring emotions, blank stares, and leave the audience to question reality. The purpose of the specific camera shots and angles is to provide an appropriate view of the movie. Lastly, the use of persuasion to allow the audience to interpret what the film says versus the thoughts in their head. The film does a good job of pointing out the flaws in our system and a specific culture that the flaws
Parker begins the essay with a crash-course on the zombie’s early popularity before moving onto more modern times, beginning with what he considers the start of the zombie’s fame: Romero’s 1968 film, Night of the Living Dead. From there he begins describing the zombie and the media it has appeared in using explicit details and metaphors to illustrate it all to us – the readers. Once he reaches the point of the zombie’s origin he elects not to drum it out like a
He thinks that people should slow down and take the time to enjoy life and realize the beautiful things not far from civilization. Just like what Thoreau says “Why should we live with such hurry and a waste of life”(1921). Thoreau
He mentions the three different type’s selfishness that we all act on. The first type is that our story is the main and only story in the universe. Subconsciously, we might believe that when we closed our eyes the world stops moving until we wake up. This innate thought has crossed each of our minds, even in the faintest way. Just wondering what another person is doing is hard to comprehend.
With this film device, conflict and character progression can be seen through the spoken words, and the theme of the film is
I don’t believe that this film expresses any political view. I believe that image, speech, sound, music, and writing interact to produce meaning. They are all in sync with one another, but I believe writing dominates because the film is based off of a novel. The facial expressions and speech of the younger actors add to the film, evoking emotion and sympathy from the viewer. The novel emphasizes the spectator more so than in the film.
Ideology The movie that I have chosen to analyze is the 2004 film Crash. This film emphasizes the intertwining cultures of today 's society and the conflicts faced from class, culture, stereotypes and racism. The explicit content of this film is to teach the audience that one person 's choices has an impact on another person or multiple people and to persuade the audience that we as a society need to change how we treat each other. The films overt message does generate social dialogue, however, this film can be interpreted by the audience through their own beliefs and behaviors causing some misinterpretation.
The Zombie Apocalypse Under the moonlight that strike passed through her transparent glass windows, Ellena sleeps on her medium-sized bed. Her stars and moon purple printed blanket covers half of her body as she sleeps on sideways with one knee bent position. The sound of her deep, but even breathing fills her violet-themed bedroom. Everything in her room is a shade of her favorite color. It was not soon when Ellena starts to hear sounds from afar that wakes her a little.
