Terminator Genisys In Terminator Genisys, there is a scene where Sarah Connor and Kyle Reese are in the hospital. The nurse that was taking c are of Sarah was talking to his friend about the new Genisys program. He says that he had pre-ordered it and that it will connect his phone to his car and pretty much every other electronic that he owns(skip to 7:50 in the video below to see the scene in which the nurse is taking care of Sarah Connor). There is another scene in the hospital where John Connor comes and says to Sarah and Kyle that people in this year (2017) can't live without their phones and technology and that they depend on it too much. My apologies for not being able to find that other scene, but since the movie has recently came out no footage of the movie is out for this scene. The point that Terminator Genisys is leading on is that technology will be our downfall and will destroy us since we depend on it to much. Basically the whole movie it's self is to show us how technology is destructive to our own individuality, that we depend on technology so much that we can't even think about what is going on around us. Especially in that first scene with the nurse. media type="youtube" key="_ri1EF4UCOY" width="560" height="315" align="center"

Transcendentalism in The Stanley Parable The Stanley Parable is game about a man named Stanley who works at this job where he sits in front on a computer monitor and is told what buttons to press and he loves his job. But, one day Stanley had received no orders on what to do when he was in his office and found it pretty odd so he takes matters in to his own hands or that's what you would have thought. You see in this game there is a narrator speaking to you throughout this whole game and pretty he much tells you what to do. Now keep in mind there are multiple endings to this story and the ending we are going to be looking at is the first one you get (depending on if you follow what the narrator says). While listening to the narrator you will stumble across this room where there are a lot of monitors and each of them have a number on it, one monitor has your number on it and you realize that to these people you are just a number and freedom means nothing to these people. Stanley soon finds out that they have been mind controlling him and that he was just under someones control all this time, and how his emotions have been manipulated to love his boring job and that he was blind to this the whole time. Stanley ends up shutting down the machine and a big door opens up to the real world and how he will finally get his freedom and will finally be able to find his true happiness, thus Stanley is finally happy. Now this ending and the story for this ending falls under Non-conformity in which society is a "conspiracy" against your individuality. As you can see throughout the first 16 minutes of this play through down below the narrator describes what is going on, what Stanley is thinking, and how Stanley feels throughout this whole experience. media type="youtube" key="_clYqFjTMtU" width="560" height="315" align="center"

Hotline Bling

You don't need no on else You don,t need nobody else, no Why you never alone Why you always touching road Used to always stay at home, be a good girl You were in the zone, yeah you should just just be yourself Right now, you're someone else

In the song Hotline Bling, Drake is talking about a girl who has changed (as you can see in the lyrics above) and he pretty much states that you're not the same person that I knew before, being such a good girl and now you are just like the rest. Throughout the whole song (which you can hear by playing the video below) Drake sings about a lot of different thing like the way the girl dres ses and how she hangs out with new people that don't really seem like the type of people she would hang out with. Now i believe that this song falls into the theme of humans are innately "good" and that they are corrupted by society. media type="youtube" key="uxpDa-c-4Mc" width="560" height="315" align="center"

Transcendentalism In The Hunger Games The movie “Hunger Games” show the four types of transcendentalism optimism, individualism, self-reliance, and intuition. The main character is a girl named Katniss that lives with her family that barely survive and therefore she has to hunt for food in the woods with her bow and arrow. Since doing this for a long time Katniss ends up having an incredible ability with the bow and arrow. Since Katniss lives in a variety of different districts the government hold a tournament between all 12 districts. Katniss little sister was chosen to take part of the tournament, but when she found out she decided to take her place instead, and that was the first glimpse of Katniss being a rebel and not following the rules therefore saving her little sister from the potential death that would’ve awaited her in the tournament. Katniss was a rebel from the start because she didn’t follow the rules. When the training started for the games, Katniss wasn't so prepared for the training like the other opponents. But when she needed to talk to the council people they wouldn’t pay attention to her, which made her shoot a arrow at them. Another example of her being is when her district was presented to the people of the major city her and the other person that was chosen for the tournament named Peeta, not following the rules they chose to wear unique outfits. There outfits were on fire. Finally when the tournament started she was an individual, meaning she was by herself because some of her opponents traveled in groups to kill off the weaklings. Soon at the end of the tournament the was only two people left and it was Katniss and her friend Peeta. In conclusion they chose an optimum way to win the games so they wouldn’t have to kill one or another, they were going to eat poison berries therefore there wouldn’t be a winner, then the government decided to award both of them the winner. The transcendentalism in the movie is that Katniss doesn’t follow the government because it’s corrupt.



Transcendentalism in "After Earth"

In the movie "After Earth" people were forced to leave Earth a millennium ago to establish a new home on Nova Prime. The story is that a father and son crash landed on earth and the only thing that could help them is a device that is found half way across the planet. In my mind this movie is transcendental because if we don't take care of the e__arth it__ will soon be like the one in the movie.

"UP"

Transcendentalism in this movie is the a old man named Carl just wants to fulfill a lifelong dream. By tying balloons to his house he tries to escape the city and travel his home to south America and living there for the rest of his life.

The antagonist named President Business but his villain named “Lord” Business he wants everything to be perfect so he made the instructions and basically everything we humans have in real life to keep us happy he uses chain restaurants, and a song that is repetitive on the radio every day. As the movie progresses Emmett is told to trust his instincts so he may become a master builder but he can’t do it until later on where he shown a cat poster with the words believe on it and he then has the confidence he needs to fight back against lord business and win.

{video game} DmC: Devil May Cry (materialism, conformity)

In the video game DmC: Devil may cry, it is about a main character named Dante

in the game you play as a Dante a half-angel half demon but in the game they are called Nephilim. This game portrays the negative effects and has the ideas of materialism also with conformity because in the game the main antagonist is called Mundus he is the demon king but in the human world he is the most powerful man who wants to own world by debt. Now in the game as you play through and progress in the game you start to understand the plot of the story and if you pay attention you find little messages in the on the walls most are plain in sight during some cut scenes such as this,



while some are hidden but found if the camera is moved to a certain position like this or like this more examples like this



Dante is known as a terrorist in the game because the Demon King Mundus knows that nephilim are the one thing able to kill a demon king. So dante has never been accepted in the society but he also doesn’t like nor care for anything but himself and has been on his own for long time until he meets his twin brother vergil who leads a rebellious group called “the order” who know that demons control the city by using the world’s favorite drink many other types to make people come under the control of the demon king mundus.

this cinematic trailer kinda gives off the idea to the video games plot media type="vimeo" key="123705500" height="281" width="500"
