Week 10 Bone

I remember reading Bone when I was in middle school, I loved reading it again for this assignment. Bone is an adorable graphic novel, something I think people of all ages can enjoy from the more mature humor and cute illustration style. Bone is such a sassy main character it's easy to get sucked into the stories of his side characters instead.

Voice and Auteur Theory

For this assignment I focused on films made with the wonderful directing vision of Wes Anderson. Specifically the films of his I watched were "Fanatastic Mr. Fox", "Moonrise Kingdom", and "The Grand Budapest Hotel". The first thing I notice when I watch a Wes Anderson film is the certain way his actors behave. Everything is very serious and one tone, as if each character has the same quick and to the point personality. It's actually one of the most entertaining parts of his films, and his signature.

It was boring at my age, but I found these interesting action packed movies that I'd never even sneezed at before because of the date it was made. I feel as though I could do something the same with Wonder Woman for the sake of delivering her message...perhaps while still providing a thrilling experience one expects from a theme park. Wonder Woman's whole message has to do with feminism and equality. She was an amazon from a world without men who entered a world where men ruled. I mean actually ruled, as in woman were considered to be lesser than a man. It's 2018 and I find it unbelievable that could be real, but we do still live in...

It's quickly become a staple in the life of many in America and of course other cultures.
