Oral Presentation- Part 2 - Historical and Socio-Cultural (Unstoppable)

II. Historical and Institutional Factors-

1. What are the institutional factors that may be important? As a production of a specific producer (i.e. Walt Disney), institution (Disney Studios), specific economic factors (Studio Film), or a political background? (U.S. politics 1959) : The economic factors of this film is connected to today's factors. The movie is aware of the recession, and of the insecurity and resentment among older workers, and how new comers want to take their jobs.  The political background is about just thousands of tons of iron, fuel and combustible toxic chemicals barreling like a rocket through industrial Pennsylvania. The movie is trying to show, that the boss of train wants to protect his money, so he doesn't want to give Will and Frank a chance to stop the train. Social factors are seen through this movie because Will and Frank are not having a good day. Frank forgot to call his daughter because it was her birthday, and his daughter won't speak to him. Will has personal issues with is family and on his first day of work, some guys were being mean to him. This movie has a mix of political, social, and economic factors that play a big role in this movie. Work cited : http://www.christianitytoday.com/ct/movies/reviews/2010/unstoppable.html
2. What is the film's historic background? As a document of its time, as a part of history of film? This film is based on a real story(picture above). On May 16, 2001,  a runaway freight train that barreled through 66 miles of northwestern Ohio with no one aboard contained hazardous material. This material was toxic if you inhale, digest, or touches you. The train had nobody on it, and it was going as fast as 47 miles per hour. The train was a no- man train for two hours, but a railroad worker jumped on the train and pulled its breaks. The railroad train was going 10 miles per hour, when the guy jumped on the train. Work cited: http://archives.cnn.com/2001/US/05/15/runaway.train.05/. Since this movie was made in 2010, the director wanted to make this true story sound more frightening, because in the movie, the train was going 40 miles per hour when Will jumped on the train.

III: Socio- Cultural Context
What is the film's socio- cultural context? 
as work from a specific country: This movie was released in the United States and released in Spain, but it was in English. 


as a work from a specific cultural: This movie is from an American culture because this movie relates to the run away train in Ohio, in 2001. The director Tony Scott, didn't make it boring he made the hazardous cargo  deeply concerning and this elevated the film to more than just another train film. Work cited: http://www.examiner.com/movie-in-lansing/unstoppable-not-just-another-train-film-review-1


as a work representing a specific part of its society: This movie is more of American society, because after a conflict and that conflict is resolved, the press would ask the heroes questions and it would be all over the news. In this film, we see this because when Will and Frank stop the train the press surrounds them. While they are trying to stop the train the film shows shots of the news. This movie is also American because, the white guy, Will gets injured and can't stop the train so Frank the black guy has to stop the train, but Frank had to jump on the train, and the jump was too far. So Will had to jump from a moving pick up truck and get on the train. So he stopped the train. Technically, Will was the hero because he stopped the train. Work cited: http://thelastpsychiatrist.com/2010/11/guess_what_is_unstoppable_movi.html


as a work made for a specific audience: This audience is made for people who like train movies, and or like action movies.

the actual bridge in Ohio seen in the movie Unstoppable

as a work made for a specific reason: This movie was made to tell the story of the Ohio run away train in 2001. Scott wanted to retell this story, but it was more dramatic, than what actually happened. This was also made to inform people that hazardous materials are dangerous to humans. Scott showed this idea throughout the whole film by showing the company's concerns and the railroad workers. Scott wanted to show that this actual story is scary because the actual run away train in Ohio could of killed many people by the hazardous material. Scott executed this in the movie very well.

Sound Design- Short Film Treatment

Jenna Fontaine and Jenevieve Rantisi: Sound Design- Short Film Treatment

Let Me In...title still in progress

Log-line: A girl who is home alone becomes a victim of her own mind when she hears a strange voice beckoning her to “let go of the fear.”  

General Flow/Scipt:

The screen is black. We hear a furious tapping noise. Then there is a hand, white against a dark table and casting a shadow. We see a multitude of fast angles, but never the face of the person whom the hand belongs to. The tapping stops, and the camera lands on a girl’s face. We see a close up of the girl’s face, with wild eyes searching. We hear her thoughts: She left me for one night. Just one night...

We see a full shot of

Girl: the small, dark room she is in.

...And now I’m here. Now I’m here...

There is a dull office with a man at a desk sitting across from a woman. The man looks tired and is dressed in a suit. The woman looks distraught and her eyes are looking into space.

Girl: ...At least it’s quiet now.

The man is writing on a piece of paper. He looks up.

Detective: [bored tone] What were you doing while your daughter was at home?

After a moment, the detective coughs. We see the lady close up jerking her head to look at him.

Woman: I left her for one night...

We zoom in all the way into the girl’s eye. We still hear the tapping

Woman: ...Just one night.

We zoom out of a clock set at an evening time and track over to the same woman preparing to leave a house. There is a still soft tapping of the girl’s hand on a table in the background.

Woman: I know I don’t usually go out at night, but work’s been so hectic. I really need a break.

Girl: It’s alright, Mom. I understand.

Mom: Are you sure? I know how you feel about being home alone at night.

Girl: [whispers] It’s alright.

Mom: [sigh] Okay. Hey I’ll order you a pizza! Just cheese?

She puts some money on the banister.

Girl: [quietly] Thanks. [frantic whisper] Lock the door!

Mom: Will do. Love you!

The girl, fear in her eyes, nods in reply. We hear the mother’s footsteps going down a flight of stairs as we linger on the girl’s face. She walks over to the top of the stairs when it closes, listening. She hears the deadbolt click and smiles a bit.

She is sitting cross-legged on a couch with all three lights on. She is absorbed in the television, but her expression is neutral. She jumps at the sound of some people chatting next door. She shakes her head and returns to the TV. Then there is an unintelligible whisper. The girl sighs and turns up the volume on the TV. But the loudness of the whispering dominates the TV. She presses mute, and the whispering stops.

The girls face twists in confusion and she turns off the TV. She gets up and walks over to the next room, a dark portion of the house. The whispering continues.

Voice: [voice of girl, distorted] Come. Come. Let the fear go and be free. It’s easy.

The girl turns on the light, but the voice stops. She turns it off again and the voice starts again, repeating the previous lines. The girl steps out into the dark room and continues, looking for the source.

Girl: [franticly] Mom. Mom! Is that you? Stop it and come out.

Voice: Forget about Mom. You don’t need her. Just come. Come. Let the fear go. Let me in and be free. It’s easy.

The girl runs to her room, turns on the light, and locks the door behind her. The voice begins to overlap. She sits in the corner, eyes shut, hands over her ears, rocking back and forth.

Girl: [frantic whisper]: Shut up. Shut up! [she begins to cry] Shut up! Shut up! Shu...

There is a loud knock on the door. The girl jerks up, alert. The whispers stop. Then there is a single whisper.

Voice: Just do it! Stop the fear for once.

The girl, neutral-faced, stands up, goes into another bedroom, opens a drawer, takes out a gun (fake no worries!) and walks slowly to the door, hand trembling. She slowly turns the deadbolt, opens the door, points the gun at the pizza man,

Voice: Let me in and be free.

Pizza man: Hey, wha...

Bang bang. The girl smiles madly.

Girl: [distorted voice] See, it’s easy.

Zoom in to the girl’s wild eye.

Zoom out of her eye in the dark room again. The girl is still tapping furiously.

Voice: You thought I’d gone. [tapping stops] Wrong. You live your life in fear, so I’m taking it.

Girl: [desperate]: Leave me alone!

Girl: [distorted voice]: [chuckle] Never.

The girl smiles madly. Fade to black.

Sound Design plays and important role in the development of the conflict/character because the distorted voice is what leads the girl to go crazy and kill. The interior monologue is also meant to give a sense of intrigue. It is important to the setting because the girl is alone in the house and the dark room. The subtext is emphasized with the italicised words as well as the captions, especially with the frantic whispering that demonstrates the girl’s fear. We will have foley sound effects for the pen scratching, the deadbolt locking, some of the tapping, the TV, the distant chattering, and the (fake!) gun going off. The rhythmic match will be associated with the opening shots when we see the girl at different angles, but not her face. The sound bridge will be used a few times, such as when we hear the girl finishing her thought in the beginning when the girl says “At least it’s quiet now,” when the mom says “Just one night,” and the tapping noise during flashbacks/forwards. The most obvious leitmotif is the evil twin’s voice. We also associate her with the tapping of her hand because of her anxiety. When there is tapping, we know it’s the “good” girl, but otherwise we depend on the distorted voice to know for sure she’s not. Music will also be added to accompany the different personalities: evil or good. For example, sad music will fade in after we are shown the first shot, but during the very last shot there will be dark music. That will be added in the 2-column script (dialogue was just really important, so we put it in the general flow).

Textual Analysis: Part 1

Unstoppable

The movie I will be doing my oral on is the movie called Unstoppable. Unstoppable, directed by Tony Scott, starring Denzel Washington and Chris Pine is about a runaway train carrying a cargo of toxic chemicals. Pits an engineer and his conductor in a race against time. They're chasing the runaway train in a separate locomotive and need to bring it under control before it derails on a curve and causes a toxic spill that will decimate a town. First I will be talking about the genre of this movie and the intended audience.




1. What tradition or genre is it in? This movie is an action, drama, and suspense movie, but mostly action and suspense. This is a action movie because througout the whole movie Frank and Will try to chase and stop a run away train. It is a suspense genre because the audience is always on their feet because they don't know if the actors will stop the train in time before it decimates a town. For example there is this one scene where we see a train with kids and the audiences is scared that the runaway train might crash into the train with the kids. The whole time, this movie was suspenseful.
   



Kids screaming on the train created suspense.


2. What are the features determining genre? The cinemetography determines the genre of action, because the shots have lots of different angles. As the train would move the cinemetography would be shaky. The cinemetography also determines that the genre is suspenseful, because there is different angles of shots that make the audience know what is coming next. This movie has a little drama in it because Will and Frank have family issues. The features that determine the genre of drama is when Frank and his daughter had a fight. Another feature that determines the genre of drama is the actor's emotions in the scene. For example, Will was telling Frank about his problem with his family. As sitting in the audience, the viewers feel like they are listening to him speak to them. It was very emotional.




lots of camera moveement


3. What other work might it be connected to? Run-away Train  is a 1985 film about two escaped convicts and a female train worker who are stuck on a runaway train as it barrels through snowy desolate Alaska. This connects to Unstoppable because there is also a run-away train. Both movies have two people that try to save the train from people. Both movies have emergency alert so people won't get hurt on the train track.
  



Frank on top of the train going between 50- 100 m/p/h


4. Who made this? Why? Tony Scott made this movie and he made it because he wanted to shoot the movie in a real setting. He did this to show that the train is the "beast". Scott wanted the movie to be in actual real setting. In the begining of the movie, the train was going 50 m/p/h and at the end of the movie the train was going 100 m/p/h. He wanted the actors to actually be on top of the train while it was moving. He trained the actors, so his movie would be realistic. He also wanted to have the story line in the movie as the actor were on the train. He said it was "dangerous". He wanted to make this movie more realistic because he wanted the viewers to always be off the edges of their seats.




Will with his family after stopping the train


5. What can we tell about its' creators? I can tell that the creators of this movie wanted a real life setting of the whole movie. Even when the actor was on top of the train, the train was moving in real life. The creators also wanted the audience to stay on the edge of their feet because the whole movie, you don't now what is going to come up next. The creators didn't also want real action, but they wanted to show the background or personalities of Frank and Will. Since the movie was about the train, the creators gave us the best way to learn about the actors. For example, before Will gets the train job, the audience sees that he has trouble with his wife and son. The same ting with Frank, he has a fight with his daughter. The creators wanted the audience to see the action of the train, and the emotions of the actors.




train footage


6. How does it fit within the director's other work? Does it share significant narrative or thematic concerns? Does it share particular visual or technical elements? In Unstoppable, Scott had good cinemetography. The actors faces were in exreme close ups, and the train footage is very in depth, because the audiences sees everything as they were watching it in person. In another movie he made called "The Hunger" had good cinemetography beecause he added his own style. Another movie that relates to this movie is Man on Fire" because it is an action movie based on a real story. He shares lots of narrative concerns because he made movies about trains, cars, and about pilots. He liked to have action movies. The most common actor he casts is Denzel Washington.
7. What is the film's theme? The theme of this movie is that life can run out of your hands when making the wrong choices. For example, Frank had a fight in the morning before the run-away train begins. The same thing with Will, he wanted to see his family but his wife didn't let him. These two characters made mistakes, and they didn't think about the rest of the day. They could of been killed trying to stop the train. That very same day, they had fights with their loved ones. This shows that the theme of the movie is to not make a msitake you will regret, because you don't know what is going to happen to you or that loved one.
8. What is the target audience? How does it adress its audience? This movie is PG-13. The target audience would be for teenagers from 14- 17 years old, to maybe 20-23 years old. This movie has lots of action and it is about trains. Lots of teenagers like to watch action movies. The targeted audience would be for people who like trains or run away trains. This movie addresses the audience by making the audience stay on the edge of their seat. This movie makes the audience suspenseful about the next shot.

Hurt Locker- Film Response

In class last week, we watched the movie Hurt Locker, directed by Kathryn Bigelow, the first women to win Best Director, and this movie also won Best Picture, which beat the move Avatar. This movie is about three United State men who are on the same team for Explosive Ordnance Disposal team. In the movie we see these three characters try to overcome mental and physical problems because of the war, and it was difficult for them to go back and live in their own normal lives.

1. Opening Remarks
The opening began with a quote, and the quote had the phrase "war is a drug", at first I didn't really think about this phrase until the movie ended, because one of the soldiers, James, was talking about how he loves only one thing and he can't let go. I think that since this character in in love with war, it is a drug to him, because he can't let it out of his life. I also thought that the first opening scene was interesting because there was a lot of camera movement, and when one of the soldiers tried to disable a bomb, we can hear the soldier breathing. When the first bomb in the movie went off, the shots were very interesting. Like when we see the smoke, the camera cuts to the dirt, and we can only hear the dirt, then when it cuts to the car, we can hear the medal on the car. I thought that the opening scene made the movie sound and look real.

2. Context
a) Place the film: The film was shot in Jordan within miles of the Iraqi border, and I think the director chose this place to shoot because it would make the setting look real. Also my mom's relatives live in Jordan, and I have been there before, and I did not notice that this setting was in Jordan. So I give credit for their mis en scene, because they did a good job with the setting and props to make it look more real.
i) Director's Work: I think that the director did a good job with have a good setting to shoot this film. The director also had good extras, like for example the boy, Bekkum, because that boy helped us learn that Eldridge was being nice and had a little attachment to this boy. It helps the audience see the relationships with the soldiers and the people living in the area.
ii) Time when made: This film was made in 2008, but it premiered in a Venice Film Festival, after it was sent to America in 2009. This is a modern movie, since the war is still going on until right now.
iii) Relations to other films: The camera movements in this movie remind me of the movie Amelie, because in Amelie there was different variety of shots and had lots of camera movements. Hurt Locker had lots of camera movements too.
B) Place the Extract
i) Position in plot: It's based on personal feelings about soldiers. The plot tries to show us that soldier are mentally and physically affected by war, for example, Eldridge always thought that he was going die, and used to talk to the doctor about his feelings. The plot tells us that soldiers in war feel different when they go live their regular lives.

Camera angle is an extreme closeup when the characters reveal their emotions

ii) Thematic Threads: One theme of this movie is the name Hurt Locker. I think this name symbolizes the locker each soldier has when that soldier dies. Because when the soldier in the opening scene dies, his personal belonging are put in a locker, which is sent home to his family. It's called a hurt locker because the person that is going to receive the locker is going to be hurt and sad since their soldier has died.

3. Setting, Acting, Costume

a) Visual Style: This movie won Best Picture in 2009, and I think that they deserve this award because of the visual style. For example, when James was looking into the burned car, he ripped open the inside of the car seats. At the same time the camera was cutting back and forth to James actions and the other soldier with him (parallel action). I this the style is classical cutting because we have different variety of shots and lots of reaction shots. I thought the visual style was very good, because that's why it made the movie more interesting to watch.
b) Iconography: I don't there was lots of icons or symbols that I seen in the film. Maybe one icon would be the mosque because its the religion of the people living in that area.
c) Actors: I thought that the actors did a good job, because at the end when Sansborn and James were talking about their emotions, I felt like it was real, and I felt sad. The actors did a good job as acting like soldiers when in danger like when there was a suicide bombing but James couldn't diffuse the bombs off the man. I felt that there was a lot of emotion when James was talking to the man. I liked how the actors had different sides to them because they showed the audience many different faces.
d) Production design: The production design was well made, especially the production designs for the bomb. I felt like I was actually seeing a real bomb explode,or when the soldiers went into this building and found a dead boy, I thought that the building design was good because it looked old and desolated.

4. Cinematography and Lighting
a) Style: The style of this movie was realistic because there was a lot of variety of shots, and establishing and reestablishing shots.

b): Angles, Framing, Lens Choice:  This film had one best picture, and know I know why, because it had a variety of shots. Every time a bomb would blow up we would see this in different of angles, and in slow emotion. I think that the action is in slow motion because it emphasizes that the bomb it big, and its in slow motion to show different angles of the the soldiers.
There was a lot of manipulation of time especially with the bombs. I think one symbolism that was very important was the bomber's suit. In the opening scene we see the first man to wear the suit dies when the bomb explodes. Then after this person dies James is the one that begins to wear this suit. This makes the audience feel curious because is the bomb suit safe? Is James going to live?

Genre: The genre of this movie is action because its based on these three soldiers on the same team to diffuse bombs, and risking their lives everyday.

Closing Remarks:

I thought that the closing remarks wrapped up the whole story. Since in the beginning of the movie we got "war is a drug", James goes back to his regular life. There is this one scene where he has to chose a box of cereal and there is tons too choose from. This shows that since James at war had to make life and death decisions and in his normal life he had to make small simple decisions, that's when he realized his addiction to war, that is why "war is a drug". James is in love with war, that he wants to stay there, he doesn't want to go back to his regular life.

Short Documentary Blog:"Art Works"

The short documentary called "Art Works" by Natalie Hon and Emily Munoz
from Freestyle Academy won first place the SI DocFest 2010. These two people earned 10,000 dollars, and I say they deserved it. They made this documentary to explain the non profit organization The Image Bus Project. This documentary showed how kids love doing art, and it relieves them from school, and makes them express their feelings. I believe the theme of this documentary is that art is full of color and a world without color makes everything dull. This organization helps many kids be creative everyday, and the kids love doing art work. I thought that the narrative was well showed because we didn't see the same people talk and talk, we saw a variety of people. We saw the kids talk about what they think about art, a parent, and the organizers of this organization. I also thought the camera work was interesting because I saw different perspectives on everything, like the kids playing with the clay and the teachers talking.
I also liked the first shot of the documentary because it showed the school as dull and an  unhappy environment, but when they showed the kids drawing or playing with clay, the shots were filled with color and the environment was happy.

The sound wasn't that interesting, I mean it wasn't unique, I feel like I was familiar with the type of music they were paling, but it didn't affect the narrative of the film. The sound was fine, but what made me like the film was the use of different perspectives. I just liked how they should different opinions about the organization from its members to the parents and to the students.

Jen&Jen's Fencing Short Documentary Treatment

In class, we watched the movie "Baraka" and it inspired Jenna and I to make a short film documentary. Jenna thought of the idea to do a short documentary on her fencing club, and I decided to go with this idea because it sounds interesting. I also wanted to do this topic because I don't really know what fencing is about, so during this project I will be learning and having fun making a short documentary. Jenna's fabulous idea is now going to turn into a short documentary.

Purpose: The purpose of this documentary is to inform people about the true life of a fencer and what fencing really is.

Contacts: Peninsula Fencing Academy: Jay Choi (fencing coach),  John Stayner (fencer)

Interview Questions:

1. What is fencing really?
2. What kind of protection gear do you have? 
3. What does it take to mentally and physically prepare for a tournament?
4. How has fencing become such a major part of your life? 
5. How big of a part does it play in your life?
6. Does fencing cause stress? If so, why do you continue? 
7. How do you cope with stress?
8. What goes through your head as you're fencing a bout?
9. How does your coach influence you and what do coaches try to do for their students?
10. What does victory mean to you?
11. What does it feel like to lose? 

General Flow: We are introduced to the main coach who talks about what fencing really is. They are in the Peninsula Fencing Academy on a break from coaching. As they talk, there is a typical class in session. Then there is going to be a private lesson going on in the background. As the coach talks about protective gear, all of gear is shown laid out, we see a fencer putting it all on.

Next the fencer is introduced and we learn how fencing plays major roles in their lives. So we see John enter the club. Then we see him leave hours later (clock). We see the particular fencers in medium close-ups working on skills with their coaches during adult classes.

We hear the coach's perspectives of what they try to do for their students and then we see the coaches helping John work on his skills. During this time there is a fencer having a private lesson on the fencing strip while coach is explaining how to do something to John. The fencer than does the action.

Next, then John talks about how he deals with stress (insert b-roll). John states why he still fence, even though it causes him stress (insert b-roll). John tells about his particular case where he got injured, but is still willing to fence in the upcoming tournaments.

Now Jenna catches a plane to Milwaukee, Wisconsin, where a national tournament is going to be held. We are introduced to the rather huge venue, where all fencers are preparing for the tournament. At this time, we hear how John mentally and physically prepares, as we seehim warm up before the tournament begins.

Finally, John is ready to fence, and we see him all dressed up in their protective gear before his bout begins. We hear what its like to be on the fencing strip, and what it feels like after a bout. Through the mask see their expressions on the fencing strip. The two opponents are fencing in slow motion, but as one of the fencers hit, it cuts back to regular motion. We need a couple of more touches in a regular motion.

After the fencing tournament, we see John taking off their protective gear as we hear if they won or lost the tournament Also how it feels to win or lose. We see the last shot of the camera zoomed in to the protective gear than zooms out while a coach says that's what fencing is about.

Baraka Film Review

Today in class, we watched a film called Baraka. The film is shot in 24 countries and it shows the different cultures, geographical views, and social diversity in the 24 countries. This film was made in 1992 and took over 13 months to get the shooting done.

 



Foreground, midground, backgroundshot



 

high angle shot

In the beginning of the film, it felt like it was going to be a boring film to me, but it swept me off my feet. In my opinion, I never seen good cinematography in a film, maybe that's why it took over 13 months to shoot it. There was long shots, and in the majority of shots there was foreground, midground, and background. The shots weren't just fast edits, images were panned or dollyed. For example, when we saw shots of the mountains covered with snow, the shot was a dolly shot. All the shots were so interesting, I never saw anything so beautiful. In the shots, I saw a pattern, it was that all the shots were seen from high angles, or the camera would pan up to be in a high angle shot. Since this movie doesn't have actors or a plot, it didn't make sense to me. The shots would just come in and it jumps from one country to the next. Its hard to tell where each place is. The director of this film should have inserted captions so the viewers, like me, won't be confused. Another thing I disliked about the film was that some shots took forever. What I mean is that one shot would take about 4 seconds to pan up to the object than it would take 4 seconds on that image. This drove me nuts because some shots were so boring that it took really long to see the next shot.

Baraka means "breath", I think that this film was named this because Earth has many people of different cultures, religions, and social diversity. Everyone on Earth breathes and if all people stop breathing they will die. When everyone dies, Earth will die. I believe the point of this film is to show how people's different cultures and social diversity changes our planet.
After seeing this film, I learned many new messages from this movie. One message is that everyone in the whole world is living differently due to culture differences and social diversity. For example, Baraka showed how people sleep in Japan, how there is many cars in New York, and people in Nepal do rituals. Another message I got was that people shared religion. All over the world people practice Christianity, Buddhism, Muslim, catholic, and other types of ritual sacrifices.
The only reason why I disliked this movie because their was no narration or text throughout the movie. There was music. The music and sound effect flowed with the shots but it didn't help me understand what is going on. If there was a voice or text heard or see, the film might be less confusing.


Poor villagers



I got to admit that this movie inspired me. I am glad that I watched this film because the shots were so professional, and it makes me want to have really nice looking shots in my next film. I would have never thought to see a movie like this with each shot having a foreground, midground, and background. That inspired be so much. I saw so many beautiful shots of different places in the whole world, yes it makes me want to travel to those places.

The music was very unique because as seeing beautiful shots there was smooth calm music, but when I saw the scene where all the men wave their hands and dance and yell words out, the music was different. After that scene there was a transition of music to a sound effect of boom. And the boom was form a volcano that erupted.



baby chicks bing squished



In the beginning of the movie we see lots of poor people in rural areas. I think that this movie is trying to show how different cultures and social diversity affect poor people. Poor people are also living near dangerous places, for example, near volcanoes, and that affects their health and economic status.



humans being sqished



Overall this movie was interesting and I encourage everybody to watch it, because it MADE INTERSETING PARALLELS BETWEEN BABY CHICKS AND HUMANS. I thought that was we see baby chicks being squished and humans at a substation, people are jammed and squished as walking around. I think these parralles tell us that humans and animals are the same becausewe both live on the same planet and have many things in comen. I consider everyone who read this, go watch the film now!!
