Test Your Brain Documentary

  

 

Today, I choose to review on a documentary premiered by the National Geographic channel on the title ‘Test Your Brain’. This documentary is very interesting since it shows us many things that we did not realize all this while. The thing that we called magic is actually a trick that runs through our mind. Sometimes our mind can be fooled by the things that we see with our eyes.

This documentary gives me a lot of information about how the brain works. We tend to believe in what we see, but not all the things that we see is the truth. I am very interesting on how the man is using his trick to steal things and the victims did not realize it at all. In this clip, I know that human barely can do the multi tasking. The man is talking with the victims while stealing so that is why the victim did not realize about this at all. I know that our brain usually work really fast but sometimes it can not catch the thing that hard to see. Our brain also transferred the information received to our nerve cells. That is why when I am watching the action movies, sometimes I would felt that I’m in the situation. Although the character in the movie gets hurt, sometimes I can feel the same.

Test Your Brain really challenging our brain since it shows me many tricks that make my brain works in different way, but I often lose this challenge that involved the brain. It shows that my brain is hard to focus on many things at one time. So, I’m not the multi tasking type of person. I guess I have to stop on doing things last minutes. The best part is, this documentary teaches me how to plan my daily schedule. This documentary is the best and interesting documentary that I’ve watches all this while.

   

Our brains are hardwired to make sense of what we see, hear, smell, touch and taste, and fill in missing pieces with whatever our expectations suggest should be there.  This helps us understand sentences even when the letters are out of place.  But while brains are amazing at processing the world around us, how much should you actually trust your own brain?  Enough to multitask by chatting on your cell phone while taking a drive?  Think spotting a dancing, life-size penguin sounds easy? Or how about riding a bike with your eyes closed, or picking the right person out of a line-up after witnessing a crime?~(http://natgeotv.com/asia/test-your-brain/about)

Animal Farm By John Stephenson

 

This is my seventh assignment review. I’m writing a review on a movie on the title ‘Animal Farm directed by John Stephenson. This story tells us about how the animals succeed to revenge and stand together to win their rights. At the beginning of the story, it shows that the farm had been destroyed by the disastrous nature. The story begin when Jessie, a female dog tells the true story that happens to them and what is the reason for all of their disastrous life.

As we can see, the story is about people and animal that strives to gain power and continue to use people under them without concerning their needs. This movie shows how people behave and treat the animals without pity and force them to work unwillingly. The owner, Mr. Pilkington is a very selfish person and often forgets to feed the animals. Until one fine day, the animals gather together and planned to rule the farm and they succeed. Napoleon, a pig is their leader. At first, he was a very brilliant person, but after a while, we can see that the pig behaves like a human. Napoleon become cruel and ignores about other animals.

From my review, we can see that the animal begins to behave like men. They become cruel and selfish. They forget what they supposed to do. Every living thing in this world is a very selfish being. We tend to forget about others to fulfil our own need. We also tend to use different kind of method to get rid of others that tries to stop us including killing them.

From my opinion, if we try to cooperate and appreciate each other, this will not happen to us. We can create a harmonious living by respecting others. If the human did not treat the animals with fierce, the animals will not get their revenge. They will gladly help us to live. We are nothing without each other.      

The Social Network By David Fincher

 

I’m reviewing on the movie ‘The Social Network directed by David Fincher’.   The film was released in the United States by Columbia Pictures on October 1, 2010. This movie is a very interesting movie since it tells us about what happen to this developing world. The technology creates information towards people but certain people use this kind of technology for their own benefits. This short film review about how people socialize with each other without having a conversation. Just a ‘click’ to a button and you can be friends with millions of people.

As for my opinion, this movie shows how people use others technology wrongly. The main character, Mark had misused the technology for his own benefit. This movie also shows about friendship, workplace and their social environment. We can see the lifestyle of a student although it is too social, but that is how the American teenagers live. This movie is focused on a group of brilliant students that involves in creating illegal websites. What I love the most about this movie is the negotiation process that occurs in this movie between each group of people. We can tell that Mark is an expert in negotiation since he use and attacked others opinion with his own arguments. He stated his fact with full of confidents and make people believes about his statements.

By watching this, we can conclude that this movie can give a lot of good example to us. It will also help us to be more confident in our life and it teaches us on how to use a good arguments. Good arguments can lead to a good conclusion. As in the end, Mark is success in his life and he becomes one of the Facebook staff. Although he get all this thing by a dirty trick, but that’s the movie is all about, ‘you don’t get to 500 millions friends without making a few enemies’.
