Steven LeitmanPublished 3 years ago in GeeksThe American Dream
A Propagandized Society Influenced by Industrial Capitalism Miller’s play “Death of a Salesman” has the reputation of the Great American Play of the 20th century. Miller goes into depth about a family so concerned with achieving the American Dream that it leads to their downfall. The American Dream is the idea that any American regardless of their socioeconomic status is given the equal opportunity to rise in social status and achieve wealth. This dream helped in raising morale until the economic downfall during the early 1900’s. Using the correlation between this dream and the influence of the Great depression Miller’s play effectively describes the effects capitalism has had on the economic factors, and lifestyles of American’s controlled by a propagandized society for greed and money. Miller has a strong influence based opinion on socialism and how the Great Depression had a drastic effect on the lifestyle of many American’s.
Mary ODonnellPublished 3 years ago in GeeksPop Wars
The Pop Wars were an embarrassing time in social media history. Every style of pop culture took it upon themselves to prove who was the trendiest. From minor fads to the dominant idols of America, the internet had become a bloody landscape of overly competitive communication. New modes of interrelations between people were being lost in the reposts and reactions numbing the sophistication of human interaction. Anybody paying attention to the true contributions of these movements were less impressed and more concerned with the direction it was taking society. It was getting nasty because the toxic atmosphere of people joking about anything using popular ideas fostered an attitude of anonymous quarrels. Screen names symbolized their preference of trope. The judgment came down hard on any who failed to consistently live up to their clever pseudonym which became their identity more than their real persona. This was a major point of contention.
Kevin IzaguirrePublished 3 years ago in GeeksHow Netflix is Scamming Nigeria - Jude Chukwuka Spills EVERYTHING In New Bombshell Exposé.
"It's another scam." American streaming giant Netflilx made a monumental mark and caused a cultural reset when they decided to enter into the Nigerian market as Netflix Naija. Since then, they have acquired and distributed a slew of Nigerian movies and television shows. Blockbusters from Oloture to The Wedding Party to huge series such as Castle & Castle more.
Jide OkonjoPublished 3 years ago in GeeksMy Review of "Hustlers"
Hustlers came out in 2019 and I think people overlooked this movie because of the wrong reasons. It looks like a run of the mill crime movie about stripper. In a way it is but if you watch the movie, you'll realize there are layers to this crime movie that you wouldn't really think about. Even crazier is that this movie was loosely based off a true story.
Brian AnonymousPublished 3 years ago in GeeksYou Can Now Play As 'Star Wars' Characters In 'Minecraft'
By the time that Microsoft bought Minecraft for $2.5 billion in 2014, Minecraft had pretty much conquered the whole world at this point. Teaming up with Star Wars to add on to this creative popular block-based platform is pretty much no brainer. The Star Wars brand and their universe have extended their creative platform from LEGO to another popular block-based platform for people who love to be creative with the tools of the Star Wars universe. The extension of the creative mind goes beyond across the galaxy as a Star Wars DLC pack is now available in Minecraft. This Star Wars Minecraft is packed with features such as a new map, skin pack mobs & item reskin, a fresh UI, texture text with a new original soundtrack and sound effects. This Minecraft Star Wars universe is what it says to be its biggest downloadable content mashup to this date. This Star Wars downloadable pack is altogether priced at 1,340 Minecoins, or between $15 to $20 dollars. About $7.66, given that a pack of 3,500 Minecoins costs about $20 dollar.
Culture SlatePublished 3 years ago in GeeksFull Metal Jacket (1987)
In this article, we will be looking at 2019’s book “1001 Movies to See Before You Die” and going through each film in a random order that I have chosen. We will be looking at what constitutes this film to be on the list and whether I think this film deserves to be here at all. I want to make perfectly clear that I won’t be revealing details from this book such as analyses by film reporters who have written about the film in question, so if you want the book itself you’ll have to buy it. But I will be covering the book’s suggestions on which films should be your top priority. I wouldn’t doubt for a second that everyone reading this article has probably watched many of these movies anyway. But we are just here to have a bit of fun. We’re going to not just look at whether it should be on this list but we’re also going to look at why the film has such a legacy at all. Remember, this is the 2019 version of the book and so, films like “Joker” will not be featured in this book and any film that came out in 2020 (and if we get there, in 2021). So strap in and if you have your own suggestions then don’t hesitate to email me using the address in my bio. Let’s get on with it then.
Annie KapurPublished 3 years ago in GeeksA Filmmaker's Guide to: The Supernatural
In this chapter of ‘the filmmaker’s guide’ we’re actually going to be learning about literature and film together. I understand that many of you are sitting in university during difficult times and finding it increasingly hard to study and I understand that many of you who are not at university or not planning on it are possibly stuck of what to do, need a break or even need to catch up on learning film before you get to the next level. This guide will be brief but will also contain: new vocabulary, concepts and theories, films to watch and we will be exploring something taboo until now in the ‘filmmaker’s guide’ - academia (abyss opens). Each article will explore a different concept of film, philosophy, literature or bibliography/filmography etc. in order to give you something new to learn each time we see each other. You can use some of the words amongst family and friends to sound clever or you can get back to me (email in bio) and tell me how you’re doing. So, strap in and prepare for the filmmaker’s guide to film studies because it is going to be one wild ride.
Annie KapurPublished 3 years ago in GeeksBook Review: "The Trouble With Being Born" by E.M Cioran
I read this whole book in one night and honestly, it was one of the best books I have read this year. It really requires you to think about every single word because of its deep and philosophical stance on the fact that we should not be concerned about death but actually hate the fact that we were ever born. The book is formatted in various small bites of information and so, it makes it easier to read.
Annie KapurPublished 3 years ago in GeeksWhich of These 10 Toxic Social Media Superheroes Are You?
Everybody, including me, loves superheroes. One of the reasons we like them, however, is because they’re fictional. They stretch the imagination and have talents and abilities about which we clumsy mortals can only dream, but we don’t have to live with one.
