The Only Alarm You Might Not Want To Snooze: Love Alarm

 I was immediately interested to this show due solely to the fact that it involves a modern smart phone.  I feel like I haven't seen a movie that is able to successfully a gimmick phone plot and have it be good.  One recent example I can think of is a horror movie called Countdown in 2019.  Basically the plot was if you downloaded this app that told you when you were gunna die it was now completely unavabible and 100% to happen at that exact time.  Horror movies and this romance show are completely different, but what I am saying is that I am excited to see if a show is able to execute an interesting plot without it being too cheesy or anything.  In the end, I am glad to say that I liked the show and how it was able to use its smart phone plot for it.

The opening of the show was very good a showing just how big Love Alarm is, to the point where it is just ruling over their heads through the medium of clouds.  It would seem that everyone's lives is just completely dominated by this app.  Despite the popularity, it almost seems like not everyone has found love at all.  I couldn't help but compare Love Alarm to a modern ay app like Tinder and its effectiveness. Despite a large amount of people who actually are trying to find love through tinder,  there is an audience of people who only use it to browse people and don't actually plan on using it for love.  I wonder how something like that would transfer into the world of Love Alarm.  What percentage of people are actually using it compared to people who are just maybe looking for an ego boost.  I think in the end, the show is trying to show us how infectious media platforms like Love Alarm can be.

[FIST 100] Uno Reverse Card: Daughters of the Dust

 It's been a bit of a long week so I'm using the title as a joke to get a laugh out of some people.  As a bonus the title relates to the post too. I really enjoyed analyzing Daughters of the Dust and discussing Dash's may ways a defying Hollywood traditions.  I mostly enjoyed this through her sue of cinematography.  In most Hollywood films the way the story movies along via dialogue between characters, but in Daughters of the Dust this story telling is don't through largely the cinematography.  In Hollywood most cinematography are beautiful shots of some event that's happening and those shots are frequent in a movie.  Many of the shots include the main characters.  In Daughters of the Dusk, cinematography of the amazing landscape is put over dialoged to establish the world and tell the story.  It almost feels as if the camera is the main character and the cast are the4 supporting roles.  (This is why its an Uno Reverse Card).  This makes the movie rely more on cinem

[FIST 325] Bad Hair - Pelo Malo

Pelo Malo is an interesting look into the world of Venezuelan culture.  I think that the use of Junior's hair as the plot point through throughout the film is an interesting way to explore his culture but also what Junior wants to be.  Junior tries many different ways to straiten his hair much to his mother's disapproval and this creates lots of tension within the Junior and his mother.  The thing I want to discuss in this blog is how that tension was used in the film.  The movie itself can be hard to watch at times because you feel bad for junior unable to find the support he wants and the hostility between him and his mother adds to this.  But there are also times in the film where these moments of tensions can create some beautify done scenes.  The scene I want to use as an example is the scene we watched in class where junior cuts his hair.  This is obviously a very hostile moment between Junior and his mother and this is evident in the stares they give each other.  Particu

Flashbacks to Middle School: PEN15

 PEN15 was easily the most cringe piece of media I have seen all term.  This is, however, not the fault of the show.  When watching a show about people developing in middle school, you can't help but think back to your own middle school experience.  Middle school in general is just a pretty horrible awkward time for most people, I can't think of a person I know who genuinely enjoyed middle school.  I for one absolutely can't stand thinking about my experience at that age.  But that is simply just middle school, and that age is just a supremely awkward time.  Nonetheless, PEN15 does a decent job of exploring just how award and rough middle school can be.   The show did a number of things especially well.  One thing that I enjoyed was the use of music throughout the show.  I thought the music added an extra layer of comedy that helped the show.  I also thought the relationship between Maya and her family, or more specifically Maya's character as a whole was really interes
