What can I do for u,my future?


I usually ask me question why the world needs communication.Why we have mass media? And why we have some many entertainment program? Since these questions stuck in my head,I decided to study even harder in my communication major.I already learned many things from the text and teacher's lectures but sometimes I still feel confused. The good thing is no matter how confuse u r and how many questions u have,the world we are living will give ur answer.However,u need to open ur eyes and use ur intelligent well to find out the correct anwer for ur confuse part.Tonight,I've been watching a very short movie over and over again and kind find some answers for my confuses.It is special and very short that named "The lunch date". It basically talk about a meaningful story about a old lady in the train station. U can see a old lady was walking in station hall,and depend on her dressing style u can tell she is very rich. She oredered a dinner in the restaurant of the train station. After a little while she lived her table for grabing the fork and everything,she saw there was a black man was eating her dinnner.She was very angre about this but she just couldn't stop this guy. Even she is so elegant, even she acted like a nobility,she still feel hungry.So,she have to throw her elegant away now.She decided to eat with this guy and she actually share the food from him. Well,this is a point. Why this black amn let her shared the food and why he even bought a cup of coffee for this lady later.He supposed to be a poor guy or begger,how did he have money to buy coffee? People got to think about this after watching the story.And that was what the director want. At the end of the story,the movie gave us a supprise and also gave the answer for those question. In fact, this lady kinda messed up her memory. She thought that black man sat on her position but actually her seat was not there. So,when she saw him had the same order,everything was just going wrong. Finally,the movie is over but the audience still keep thinking. How to judge people? How to be more fair? How to get the truth from the strong stereotype? How to catch people's behavior to tell their personalities? How to use items to show what u want to tell audiences? Some questions are for audiences and some of them are for the movie maker. I remember the charactors in the movie never said who is the thief,who make mistake. It just show everything with certain items. Like the lady always with big bag in her hand and the bag where she put it in the movie tell audiends she made a mistake for her seat. This is a good example for teaching movie maker how to use movie items in the movie. Before the main story came up,the director also brought some small episodes to audiences in the movie. Like when she was waiting for the train,she bumped into a black guy.All of her stuffs were just everywhere on the floor.At that time,the black guy try to help her pick those stuffs up to her but she said "NO". After she missed her train,she figure out she lost some pesonal belongings after bumped into that black guy. If u watch the whole movie and u see how the lady acted during the bump time,u will believe that black guy is a thief. Most importanly,u will have the same stereotype to this lady. So when u see the thing happen on the lady,u will feel the same way. U can tell the black man who was eating there even know she just made a mistake.He just didn't say anything to this old lady. I pretty sure there are some people live in the world might be like this black guy in the movie.They might suffer unfair horrible cruelties,but they just keep silent. It doesn't mean they don't care or don't feel pain,it means they let people shows the darkness point of the world... I do believe when people realize how urgly they are and how many problem in our society,they will feel shame and gonna change the world.This is the idea of the movie gave and this is the way I believe.
