Friday 5: Thats how the Movies did it

  1. In Citizen Kane, the main character’s last word before dying is “Rosebud,” which is discovered later to be the name of a favorite childhood sled. The idea is that this rich, powerful, hated man, in his last moment, finds himself thinking of happy, innocent times. If the film were about your life, what word might you utter in similar sentiment?
    Angel. My first dog.
  2. In Groundhog Day, the main character is forced to live the same day again and again until he has learned to love others and to love himself. If you found yourself in an endless loop, living one day repeatedly until you learned the lesson that was holding you back, what would that lesson be?
    I guess it would to be more social.
  3. In Freaky Friday, a mother and daughter who have difficulty understanding each other find themselves each living the other’s life (occupying the other’s body and everything!). If this were to happen to you for similar reasons, whose body would you wake up in?
    I guess if anyone it would have to be one of our customers at Wendy's. Who the hell doesn't know the difference between a jr hamburger and a single hamburger?
  4. In Raiders of the Lost Ark, Indiana Jones has to jump into an underground room filmed with the one thing that freaks him out: snakes. “Why did it have to be snakes?” he asks. If the movie were about you, what would you see in the underground room?
    I guess if anything it would be to see an empty room because that would usually mean that your going to set off some kind of trap that you wouldn't see coming.
  5. In Sideways, the main character is asked to explain his love for wine made from a certain grape. As he describes the grape, we realizes he is also describing himself, saying that it must be carefully tended and that it is easily damaged. If the film were about you, what passion (hobby, food, collectible, or activity, for example) would you describe and how would you describe it so that you were also describing yourself?
    Video Games. There are many things that i like about them from their beautiful graphics, to their compelling stories, to their intuitive game play. Because of all of these, i like how immersed you can get into a well designed game.((hmm, that didnt exactly have anything about describing myself, ill try remember to fix that later))
