I LOVE movies, but this year I haven't watched very many. On Saturday I found a way to watch two. I watched Casino Royale and The Fugitive. Both extremely excellent.
These are action movies. Lots of fighting, running, guns, all that kind of stuff. While I was entertained thoroughly and loved every minute, that night I felt pretty depressed and a little jittery when I went back to my apartment. This class has cursed me to always be aware of myself when interacting with the media. I know because of the content and amount I consumed it affected my thoughts and emotions.
Haha, try studying the media for over a decade and then trying to watch anything!
ReplyDeleteI find myself doing the same thing and really trying to observe how the media impacts me and the differing impacts it has on those around me.
ReplyDeleteI've totally done the same. Many times I've been in the car listening to music and a song came on that I love and then I really realize what the lyrics are. Crazy how much more aware I am about how the media affects me!
