final paper- movie
A naked woman painting on a canvas with a cigarette in her mouth, a brush in her hand, a metal skeleton holding her body and she was sitting on a wheelchair. In her painting there was a naked woman whose body was sustained by a steel pole from her waist to her neck and the pole was exposed. Nails inserted in every part of her body while tears covered every part of her face.
I think this was Frida expressing her pain in her paintings: A body that was already half paraplegic and tremendous pain was torturing her body and mind but she still wanted to live a wonderful life. There’s a saying: The value of an art work is given by three simultaneous elements: A time, a place and an event that gives the work meaning.
The reasons why Frida’s art works were so valuable were: They gave rise to people’s sense of sympathy and the ups and downs in Frida’s romance life were a delight in talking about by the world, not to mention her art works represented the Mexican people’s attitude towards death.
Frida: Flower that grew up in the irrigation of suffering.
Frida Kahlo passed away 51 years ago but the ups and downs of this Mexican painter’s eventful life was never forgotten. Her old house in the southern part of Mexico City "blue house" is now a museum and more than 150 of her masterpieces are now collection of famous museums such as the Louvre and the New York Museum of Modern Art. And the film <Frida>
starred by Salma Hayek in 2002 gained 6 categories of Oscar nominations and was the opening film of the Venice Film Festival. This film also was a shortcut for people who desired to know about her.
An impressive appearance, physical disability caused by a car accident, struggling with a husband who was 21 years older, the desire for homosexuality, etc. All of these elements made this Mexican painter the interest of everyone, and a female film director Julie Motel took a more expressive method and showed them all to the world: She painted colorful butterflies on the plaster that she wore all around her body; Ambiguous emotionsfilled the room when she was dancing with the female photographer Tina Motto; She looked relatively small when she married to the so-called “big elephant” Rivera.
Frida Kahlo was the most popular modern female painter in the history of Mexico, and the most prestigiousmuralist in the 20th century and the wife of Diego Riverawho was somewhat of a national treasure. In 1907, she was born in a house called "blue house" in the south of Mexico City, but later she often told people that she was actually born in 1910—some people said that she was afraid of getting old, and others said that she did it out of her nature of loving making up stories.
Frida’s father was German and a Hungarian Jewish descent, and he was quite a photographer in Mexico City. To some extent, it affected her aesthetic views and later her paintings always showed a quality of transparence. As the third daughter in the family, Frida was never afraid of anything and her father liked her for this because she was like a son that he never had.
But, fate has tied pain to Frida’s life since 6 years old and it seemed like they were never severed. The crying of her mother and the sighing of her father left the deepest impression in her heart in the year when she had polio. Although she only brushed with death, her right leg began to shrink to the point where it was obviously shorter than her left leg. Although she was jeered at as the “wood leg”, she learnt to swim, play soccer, box, ride bikes, etc. Deep down, she was still the “son” that her father never had.
When 15, Frida was one of the merely 35 female students in the Mexico National High School which had more than 2000 students in it. Determined to be a doctor, she began to study medical knowledge and used brushesto copy the illustrations in medical journals. Just when she thought she had overcome the biggest frustration in life, another pain came striking. She had an accident in 1925 when her bus hit a tram and resulted in the fracture of her cervical spine and the comminuted fracture of herright leg, and an iron pierced her stomach, through her womb. “This accident lost me my virginity,” described Frida. She always enjoyed life even in pain.
The film <Frida> recreated the scene after her accident, but all the plaster was just on the outside—she was “broken”, but the pain was indescribable. She spent a whole year in a hospital bed and taking surgeries. To be precise, she spent the whole year living in plaster.
To resist pain, she picked up her brushes and started to paint on her plaster, and then on the customized easelthat her parents prepared. In front of the mirror that her mother bought for her, she painted on her face thickereyebrows, shining eyes, generous forehead and the sceneof her being in surgery, with blood all over her face. All those copies of medical journals in high school became expressive in her paintings. She painted herself as a deer with thousands of arrows through the heart in the forest, a naked woman with a steel spine implanted and nails inserted all over her body. And a painting of two identical Fridas sharing life through blood vessels.
After discharged, Frida became a member of the Mexico Artists Group. There she made the acquaintance of Diego Rivera who was 21 years older and she was already a famous muralist in Mexico. Despite family opposition, out of the love of art and painting and the worship of Rivera, she married Rivera in August 21, 1929 and began to imitate her husband’s art style. This was opposed by her husband, “You have to focus on your own way of expression, the lack of skills is not important, but the essence of your art has to be pure and strong.”
But painting is just a part of their lives, the romantic Rivera was promiscuous in sex relations   even after getting married, including being involved with Frida's sister, so was Frida! The nature of being free of restrainled her to fall in love with a Soviet philosopherTolorwsky and even some of her female friends. Theirrelationship was on and off because they were angry ateach other for cheating, and then would got back together because the love for each other's art works. They drew inspiration from the native lands of Mexico and at the same time, found creative ideas from different lovers.
“The reality of Frida” was the truth of her being disabled, the truth of having a broken body and the truth of being miserable even though looking tremendously beautiful. She was finally free in 1954. For 47 years of her whole life, this Mexican female painter has taken 32 surgeriesincluding 6 spine surgeries from March to November in 1950. Her wounds were cut open and then resealed, and the plaster on her body was taken off and then put on again and again. In the last years of her life, she was partially amputated below the knee so her body had to be "hung" on the shelves made of iron shelves, belts and plaster.
Many of her art works used natural elements such asnative plants and animals in Mexico, but these elements were actually nationalistic. After the revolution in Mexico, a series of artists led by Diego Rivera launched the mural revival movement in response to the call of the government. One of the important aims was to revive the Mexico culture and Nationalism. Frida Kahlo’s art style was not just representing women being close to the nature. On the other hand, it could also be regarded as a symbol of local culture.
In this strange world, there were not many people who lived with pain but still felt happy, free and easy as Frida did, let alone a woman. And the last words of Frida were: “I hope the end of my life is happy because I can’t do this again.” It touched me deeply. The simplicity of folk style in her paintings was more than creative to conceal her lack of experience. Rivera was the only man who truly understood Frida. In a letter to a friend, he wrote, "her paintings are sharp but tender, as hard as steel, but as fine as the wings of a butterfly, as lovely as a sweet smile, and as deep and cruel as a bitter life."
Before knowing Diego Rivera, Frida was more like a lost person wandering around in the wilderness, and she left the world with more exercise drafts than complete works. Her Jerky brushwork revealed her confusion and wandering: the accident that took away her fertility when she was 19 and such a beautiful girl had to live with painful illnesses ever since. And the search for her future direction on canvas began. Diego Rivera offered her guidance or pointed out the direction of her development in art. And in the following days it could be seen that her art style became more stable and more mature.
A set of thick eyebrows drawn into a line as a bird wanting to fly, a tear hanging in the corner of the eye, slightly contemptuous but focused eyesight, rich national colour of clothing and luring people into the hell-like fantasy. Just as Freddie said, "I do not paint dream, I paint my reality". After Frida’s art style became stable, she used her brush to accurately conveyed the world that she lived in - hell and heaven.
She drew all her pain into the paintings: The aborted child, betraying her husband, like moths to a flame forlove, physical and mental pain, longing for the afterlife and the fascination on death, several failed suicide attempts, the temporary rush from alcohol and the endless emptiness afterwards.
For ordinary people, the love between her and Diego Rivera was a delight in talking about.
An age gap of 21 years, a young and beautiful girl with a young and successful political leader. Their Congenial political positions and artistic interests, their painful divorce and getting back together, their physical and mental unfaithfulness of love—Although bystanders couldn’t     confirm their soul infidelity
Only a handful of female artists could enjoy high reputation that Frida did. Even in the current feminist propaganda, they would say, " How many famous female artists were there in the history in addition to Frida and a few others? Not enough space in art was given to women!”
At that time, Europe indeed given enough space and evaluation to Frida, and she even received a warm welcome from Picasso. We have to understand thatDuchamp dared not to say hello to Picasso closely. “He only talked to people who were very close to him,” said Du Shangru.
Her self-portrait was collected as the first Mexicanpainter's work in Le Louvre Museum. The value of her paintings are among the highest in the world’s women art paintings. She greeted people with smile but on the other side she expressed pain on canvas. A personal favorite“The Suicide of Dorothy Hale" (1939). Frida was invitedby the Dorothy Hale’s family to paint a portrait of herself committing suicide, and to everyone’s surprise, Fridadrew a scene of herself jumping off a building. We can see the specific expression of this painting’s Mexican elements and the Mexican people’s attitude towards death: No one knows when demise will come, so it is better to accept with a calm attitude. We do not know whether she went to heaven or was taken to heaven- or maybe she has never been there at all.

Blog Assignment: Blade Runner
Watch the 1982 version of the movie, Blade runner:
https://123movies.is/film/blade-runner-4202/watching.html
In her text A Cyborg Manifesto (1985), Donna Haraway defines the concept of a cyborg as a rejection of rigid boundaries, notably those separating “human” from“animal” and “human” from “machine”.
The 1982 film Blade Runner, is built on an unanswerable conundrum. As robots evolve, at what stage do they become human? And as our lives become more and more computerized, at what stage do we start to become machines?
Write a response to this statement in relation to both the movie and our contemporary present moment.
……indicates that cyborgs, in their merely four yearsof life, witnessed singular events so phenomenal thatnormal people won’t encounter their entirely life. Sadly, everything will be erased and forgotten as their lives end no matter how extraordinary their life expriences have been. Such outcome is inevitable for both human and cyborg for it is a part of life.
It’s without difference when it comes to experiencing life, death and the meanings that comprise their value. This came from the inner heart of the cyborg, who knewthat themselves and even human were insignificant. In the pursuit of eternity he spared no pain to find his“father”, only to find the cause impossible. He laughed inpain!After everything he’s been through,no matterhow majestic the view were. They all seemed like anirony for they would perish as his demise comes, and themeaning of his existence seemed lost at the moment.
Human aren’t capable of answering the ultimatequestion about the meaning of existence. Who will knowof my existence if the universe is bound to be destroyed? From a more macro level, we can see that every technology innovation is a social differentiation. The population on the top and the middle of the food chain becomes more scarce, and the number of people who struggle merely to survive increases.
The recent wave of the internet is the most obvious example. It has brought considerable economic achievement, but the number of people who actually benefit from it is too small to even count. Human has started uncovering its origin or finding the maker for too long. <Blade Runner> implied the exploration of human origin by telling the fate of a cyborg, and concluded by indicating it was something mythic.
Therefore, Si-Fi movies started to actually touch people’s soul.  Masterpieces from both the East and the West ultimately points to the question concerning the meaning and the origin of human life. <Blade Runner> is substantially a Si-Fi version Bible, with a Si-Fi appearance, that raises questions to and appreciate blessing from mythic beings as before.

Black Mirror
In my opinion, The high-tech can not distinguish between the virtual and reality, this set is more focus on a person’s inner fear exposure. When someone tries to ask you what is the most thing that you will be afraid, spider or mice is the kind of immediate thing that first come to your mind, just like copper. The boy who bullied him when he was young, though he did not admit it. These two figurines are easy to mix together and get a concrete spider boy, and then his subconscious of a conspiracy theory of the project: they are cheating the tourists to do an illegal test, maybe someone will be scared to death; The other is the subconscious of the girl’s conspiracy theory: she recommended me to this terrible project, behind a conspiracy. This is a potential preparedness for a stranger, and he is not aware of it, but the system can discover his subconscious mind and achieve it. The combination of these two conspiracies led to the horror of the fourth act. Now the main character is on the brink of collapse, that triggered another idea that makes him feel desperate. the project simply cannot stop. The system immediately realized the scene and convinced him that he would be trapped in this terrible place, and then exposed his fear: his mother. he thinks he jumped out of this system and will go home to face his mother. However, on the way home, the closer he gets to his home, the real fear comes out more. The system lets his mother cannot recognize him, and his inner bottom of the fear becomes a reality. As the end, the beginning of the story paved the intertwined of the virtual and the reality, and there’s no explanation of it. Unless the screenwriter jumped out to give an authoritative argument, this system will constantly be digging and confusing the virtual and the reality to achieve audience’s inner fear, constantly pushing people into the abyss of despair, which is the most horrible place. At this time the reaction of the cooperative brain takes the initiative to find the source of fear. Each of us needs to be aware of the things of the outside world, gain control over our own grasp and sense of presence, especially in the era of information explosion, a lot of information is not only just to understand the world, but also to find some “catchable” rope, through these “ropes” we can understand ourselves. There is an irony how technology blindly pursues a more realistic experience, and this is actually hidden behind the murderous, science and technology development. (when the main character dead, the game company is still recording without emotion) Castle, spider, high school classmates, fear of the game, (keyword) stop, the boss, did not receive his mother’s call, are all consciousness, he never left the first room and did not go to the boss’s room at all, the boss’s face is when he read the magazine, he remembered. The end of the game is his mother’s call, the story is not telling us how terrible science and technology can be in the future, but to cherish the real treasure around us, the companionship to each other through the difficulties, rather than escape from risk.

The Matrix
Neo: “What is The Matrix?” Morpheus: “Control. The Matrix is a computer-generateddream world, built to keep us under control in order to change a human being into this.Morpheus holds up a battery to Neo.
This is an American-Australian film was released in 1999
Fear of the unknown surrounded the world based on the turn of the millennium and the style of dating computerized documents.
The film created a sense of dystopia that will be experienced in the future, which represents fear and a frightened society. The society is surrounded by a totalitarian governments, environmental destruction, dehumanization, crime and poverty.
The picture represents the conspiracy theory, the film begins with the question ‘what is Matrix’, to set the stage the conspiracy theory seeks to cause the audience to not only believe what has been presented on the surface but ask the question ‘what if there was more to Matrix.’ As a result this will trigger a reaction to the story and the audience will ask more questions and involve their creative imagination concerning what matrix is.The representation of the main actors in the file, the Matrix.
Trinity, a hacker is caught off guard by police in an abandoned hotel, she fights the police over powers them and she manages to escape. The follow her to the rooftop and she manage to disappear and could not be traced. This scene represents the presence of super human powers and the ability to vanish from the eyes of normal humans. The battle was however, between trinity and extraordinary suited agents, this is the battle of the super human powers where the one who has the most powers is able to overcome the agents with lesser powers. Trinity serves as a go between of humanity and super powers.
When Neo realized that there is a problem in the world and sought to find out the meaning of the cryptic online phase. Morpheus, a character that monitored Neo’s activities was introduced to Neo by Trinity, offered the two pills to assist in explaining what he needed to find out about the matrix. The red pill was to assist him find out the truth and the reality about the matrix and the blue pill was his choice to go back to the original self and live a life without the memory of the matrix. In reality the pills were to assist Morpheus track and extract Neo’s body from the real world.
Neo chooses the red pill, representing the beginning of making life choices and taking sides. The notion highlighted is that circumstances in life lead to effects and causes of life events. The matrix is said to favor only those who have faced the realities of the matrix. Hence, the matrix cannot really define who you really are.
After taking the pill, the realities that define his life dawned. The scene introduces the realities where human truth renders an individual helpless and they are no longer in control of their lives, it actually tends to overwhelm them as it directs to where the waters lead. The black waters lead him to the light, which is a representation of the truth he will start living by.
He wakes up to finds himself trapped in a web of wires and submerged in slime and in the matrix. He attempts to break off the pod but realizes that the wires are connected to vital parts of his body, the neck, the head and the spine. Neo’s ability is now limited to the confines of the computer world.
Neo was snatched out of the pod by the Morpheus’s agents. He is given super natural powers that in a way give him no limitations. Here he uses the powers to fight back the bullets from the agents. He is represented as one able to punish the vice in the world and even have powers to control matters in the heavens. As an agent for Morpheus, he is given power to work as a rebel and also deliver others that have been put under control.
The pod like structures with human beings inside, this is a representation of how the computer world is energized by the creativity of the human beings. Literary the machine world is directed and driven by human energy for it to find meaning. The movie shows evidence that the computer cannot be energized by any other source. It is successfully energized by fully taking control of human activities. In essence, as explained by Morpheus, the computer overpowers the man who created it and the initial and unchanging design of the computers is that it cannot be powered by the solar energy; hence the computer will continue to harvest its energy from human beings.

Monster-2
The article by Cohen talks about a monster in the theses with thesis 4 describing monster as a “different flesh that comes to dwell among humans, as an incorporation of the external forces that people distance themselves with yet they originate from within. The author, therefore, tries to relate any alteration within societies to be the massive body ranging from the economic, cultural, racial, political and other differences. The author quotes the Bible in Number) to communicate the exaggerations of issues to distort the usual form to justify events taking place. The author is wary of the tendency of treating cultures that go beyond people as heroic citing events and scenarios where the great observation are made among people.
What I wanted to talk about is a true monster Yangonin. A person with many criticisms online, What he have done to the society, to the kids are unbelievable. I always thought that as the internet has been wild spread, internet addiction is becoming past tense, or gradually disappear. Because the whole society is changing into an internet mode, everyone is holding a smartphone, and it has become an important part of the study, work, and life. However, the Chinese government has certified Yangonin as “Linyi city mental health center. Government psychological doctor”. He also tirelessly publicized his quit addiction career. As always, by demonized network, unscientific treatment, his “students” were being tortured until suicide. He invents a treatment called “electric shock therapy”. countless normal children were insane after this kind of therapy. During 2008, Yangonin suddenly appeared in front of the public. He used a TV documentary to show what benefit will his therapy bring; make family be together, and make children “obey” their words. The “electric shock treatment ” continues even the government said is too radical, his “school” didn’t even get a production license. Moreover, This treatment is not suitable for people who have normal minds, and it’s principles are not injuring, not compelling and not respecting human rights.
Youth can be described as the future and hope of the land, more and more young scientists rely on efforts, their paper published in the “Science” magazine, and it becomes the glory for the country! In 2009, Yang Yongxin, who abused the youth, also boarded the “science” magazine in another way, The most authoritative academic journals in the world used “The most infamous” to described Yang Yongxin. Fortunately, the relevant departments have already started the action: CCTV, the Ministry of Public Security, the Communist Youth League and the Supreme Procurator ate of the Justice Network are also sounded, to end the “addiction treatment” chaos.We have to believe that justice will come because justice is sometimes late, but It will never be absent.
The author explains in the article how a hermaphrodite validating heterosexuality over homosexuality even as the person is perceived to be extreme and living with gender ambiguity and sexual abnormality. The article rise beyond the common issues that are known to cause difference among societies to present the place of race in proving to be monstrous over the other common factors people are aware of. The article raises the issue of race, and the insignificance of Africa and the West and the perception people develop around the issue of race. The question around race has received wider assumptions will all negativeness pushed towards those perceived to be a lesser race.
The author presents monsters as a personification of misconceptions and prejudice that runs through societies and communities with the views that people perceive to be deviant from the norm regarded as the monster. The piece presents some sense of rigidity and intolerance of people on different aspects within the society, and the tendency of the people to believe that what they know is presumably which is right. The author presents Gender, sexuality, national identity, and ethnicity as the core factors of conflict among different groups of people, and the descents that arise from the factors are considered monstrous. The author has given in the piece, a flow of elements that are monstrous and the manner in which different groups perceive and handle them. It is clear that the author portrays issues that people deal with continuously to be monstrous given that they arise from within people themselves to create a severe impact on the people.

Monster-1
In the Monster Culture (Seven Theses), Cohen wildly discussed the “monsters” that is related to their culture. It’s usually complicated and probably go against nature. rather is the outlook, culture, sex, or race. even though there are unreal monsters, but real people can be monsters as well. in order to let the “freaks” be in control, the people who followed order identify other people’s status and stating who they really are. Cohen tried very on unmasking our value of the culture. In this article, The monsters are the topic. He chose to investigate if monster really exist. this question bravely changes the focal spot from the theory, and questioned a doubtful point, to let the reader believe his own theory. He put his reader in the middle, using contradictions to clear the reader’s doubt. Cohen built up to the eruption the boom moment and demonstrates a serious yet playfully provoking attitude toward the audience. In this article, monsters have been defined as seven different aspects, related to their personalities.   
 first of all, the monster is actually symbolic and cultural representation. They are due to certain parts of time or feeling generated. Monster is "an instance of a cultural moment”.In the Monster Culture (Seven Theses), Cohen wildly discussed the “monsters” that is related to their culture. It’s usually complicated and probably go against nature. rather is the outlook, culture, sex, or race. even though there are unreal monsters, but real people can be monsters as well. in order to let the “freaks” be in control, the people who followed order identify other people’s status and stating who they really are. Cohen tried very on unmasking our value of the culture. In this article, The monsters are the topic. 
He chose to investigate if monster really exist. this question bravely changes the focal spot from the theory, and questioned a doubtful point, to let the reader believe his own theory. He put his reader in the middle, using contradictions to clear the reader’s doubt. The article presents cases in several countries such as France, Bosnia and the United States where monstrous scenarios are evident and how groups appreciate extreme acts that disadvantage other people. There is an explanation of the article on how the Jews refused assimilation into Christianity and the challenges they undergo as a result as they are viewed to be aliens in cultures that are distinct from the rest (Cohen, p.8). The differences in politics and ideology are seen to be the active catalysts of such extreme events and actions that disadvantage other groups over others because of the unbalanced priorities among groups. The author on page 8 presents an analysis of political situation and events that lead a person to lose favor and the might present initially to become of less value.
With the case of Richard, the article shows the manner in which cultural alterations pavesthe way for monstrous processes, the envisioning picture that makes people believe in such events. With the events of the Actions of Richard , the author feels that the history itself is a monster that that exposes things that reinforce people’s beliefs on things that they were not used to earlier. The article then relates gender issue and the view of the people on gender roles and the consequence of overstepping mandates of a particular gender and risks relating to such actions . Societies view those that deviate from the set gender lines as extremes that fall beyond the reasonable expectations, and it happens that events unfold that discredit the beliefs that people ever cling on as their precepts.
People justify the monsters through different aspects evident in the manner of defending race with religion positioning one belief to belong to a particular race than another. The author argues that the monsters have brought about divisions of commonalities and that a difference in one aspect can equate to a difference in another aspect. The except presented in Cohen , depicts how the difference in race is related to the difference in nations and ultimately behavior and the author express the need for correcting such misconceptions.
According to Cohen , the problems are created by a combination of the different form of issues that arise from societies and cultures that are not accommodative of deviance. These differences that are created by people tend to negate the positivity of the differences to remain independent identity propelled by diverse groups against others. The perpetuation of the discriminatory belief related to the fear of the discovery of the nature and characteristic of the perpetuating group. The author expresses concern that the issues that create the differences can bring destruction to the constitution of individuality through continually writing differences against the existing cultures that can progress to convey the monsters in a different way.

Today, I'm going to talk about Sia’s music video “The greatest”. In this video, the background is;Orlando shooting incident on June 12, 2016, Orlando, Florida. A large-scale shooting occurred in a gay bar. 49 people were being killed and 44 were wounded. In Sia's participation in the "The Greatest" MV, the young dancer-actress Maddie Ziegler decorate herself with rainbow tears makeup. Including her, a total of 49 dancers appear in the MV, and its the symbol of the 49 victims in Orlando shooting. At the beginning, but I do not know what it is, I called it “the whistle”.The body lodging on the ground, then the lens gets closer, the dancer used the rainbow color make up to represent tears. The expression on her is firm?  fear? I couldn't identify. The dance moves indicate her group identity (homosexual or LGBT).
With the rhythm of the prelude, people stood up.The first sentence begins: “Running out of breath but I, I got stamina.” The dancer kicked the door open, and she led the crowd out of the cage. She Leads the group to the aisle, she awaked, and everyone start to realized they are different from others. Struggling, doubtful, uneasy, the mood in this part of the dance.“don't give up,I won't give up don't give up, no no no” This line let us know that Sia keeps on telling people ran out of the woods, and do not give up.
“I'm free to be the greatest I'm alive” The dancer Neglect of social rules, her tongue showed that she, and also the group she’s representing eager the freedom. She knocked her head, and pulled her own hair, seems like that the group has been bullied and threatened. the dancers threw their invisible mask away, and look around the room, the emotion on their face is scared and shocked. They danced in two different directions but hit the wall and they all fell down. but the young girl dancer used a hand signal to recall the other dancers to stand up. everyone regain the braveness and start to be a fighter.
When the chorus began, the girl dancer cry and laugh again and again creepily during the lyrics “free, the greatest, alive” I particularly like the backlight of several pictures, make me want to cry. after this line, she came to the background with blood red wallpaper, hint that the tragedy is about to come.  
Mind disorder, disturbed, Faced with strange posture, is the group of people who were unable to extricate themselves. When entering the last chorus, the group dance gives a great shock, They directly dance into the carnival after the panic. I Noticed that the right side of the screen is the stage, the general stage is inside the bar, and the entrance is on the left, I found out that there’s a large blood red light on the left. Then, the murderer comes. The dancers turned their sight to the left, all panic.
Finally, these people that have a variety of different emotional experience are gathered together to enjoy the night. The sound of the whistle sounded when people had not fallen down, then the sound of the music diminished to the end.The girl dancer peering at the camera, in the expression of dissatisfaction with discrimination, Her hair was messy, Facing the camera, helpless and painful. I watched this music video least sixty or seventy times, First of all, the Eccentric tonal contrast made this music video into a higher level. Bleak gray, blue, strong blood red, are representatives colors of struggling and dark. There is also a special bright space for freedom, As the lyrics and lights are constantly changing, It Seems like is describing the feelings of homosexuality or LGBT people. They extremely want freedom and hoped that they have enough courage to publicly identify themselves in the future. In fact, you can not deny that some people still discriminate and even hate these people, and these people may inexplicably fall into panic and guilt. Both Sia and I hope the world is going to get better.

This picture is about and related to the news that happened in china during the end of 2016. In Tianjin China, There’s a woman who was starting her business with balloon guns game inside of a park. it's not harmful, not sharp, slow, legal, and its all plastic. But police came and imprisoned her. Because the five of the gun-like toys on her game table are being recognized as real guns. The result of this case was ended by three years and six months. The public was shocked and questioned the Chinese government with this law:  if the shooting guns are bigger than 1.6Joule/cm², and it’s a real gun. Under this law, and of the shootable toy guns are going to be restricted.On the top of the image, The bolded Chinese sentence means “criminals of illegally holding a gun”. This sentence is being printed on a flag and pulled four ways probably on two poles. This is what typical Chinese police do when the reporter is trying to interview them. When looking at the center of this image, we can definitely see three poor babies, literally one or two years old kids are being handcuffed and being forced to stand straight in front of people. The six police are staring at these kids like they are serious criminals. Police are well protected with bulletproofed jacket and glass helmet with the medal on it. Believe it or not, the “guns” that are placed on the forward ground are water guns, exactly the type of water toy gun that you can easily find in Toy r us. The five of them are made of plastic and colored. I assume the illustrator who draws this cartoon piece is trying to point out these toy guns by making it an emphasis-immediately observed what type of gun is this. By just looking at this art, feelings are being delivered to me when seeing the emotions on both the babies and police’s face. The three babies represent from left to right: publics, the woman in the news, and people who made up and benefit from this law. Publics are frustrated because of the gun’s law and they are also disappointed because the news that happened. The middle kid represents the woman herself, sadness, tears are all over this kid’s face; and last the “people” not to give a rap, don't even care about what happened out there. Solemnly policies in the picture seem very serious about this unreasonable crime. This is very sarcasm. The Chinese government should focus more on benefits people but not just randomly make up laws that disappoint the public's.
