This past week in class has been a struggle for me personally. Missing class on Tuesday was hard because I missed the Titanic tragic hero video, and felt like I missed out on a lot that would have helped me to plan for my essay and the poster. My group spent all of this week planning our poster. I think we're having a hard time coming up with the right ideas. I'm not sure if the rest of my group feels the same way, but I really want our poster to look amazing. I hope it will come together beautifully, the way we plan. It's been hard to plan or get anything done when someone from out group was gone everyday. I've definitely been feeling the stress. However, I do feel better now that I have gone ahead and bought some materials and things for our poster and started the first stages of my essay.
This week I also watched the movie for our poster, Public Enemies. I'm not sure if I like the film, it's very dark and heavy. There is so much violence and blood, and so many guns. If you can see past this surface, I think there is a really emotional side to this movie. My feelings for the main character, John Dillinger, are really conflicted. He is a criminal, a bank robber and has killed people. But Dillinger is so hurt, so broken underneath the surface. He is self-absorbed, but underneath it all, he doesn't love himself. He might even loath himself. If he truly loved himself, he would not be so careless, almost like he wanted to get caught.
