Rio 2, is an American 3D animated musical adventure comedy film for all ages produced by Blue Sky Studio and directed by Carlos Saldanha. Rio 2 is the follow-up to the 2011 animated film Rio, and it is the studio's first movie to have a sequel. The title refers to the Brazilian city of Rio de Janeiro, where the first film was set and where Rio 2 begins, this time the film was in 3D to give it a life like illusion and to give the images more depth so the viewer feels more involved in the scene, which was pretty cool. The plot for Rio 2 was very predictable with it being a sequel, Rio was a box office hit so how could they top that? They made it more colorful and more busy which made it exhausting for viewers my age, but it was great for the youth audience which is the target audience the producers where trying to reach. Rio 2 is a comedy adventure about facing your fears.

Since 776 BCE, the Olympics have been a way for people of different cultures to come together and compete in friendly competition. In 1892 the first modern Olympics were held in Athens, although it had been over a thousand years since the last game it still had brought together an assortment of different religions and ethnic groups together. Many factors shaping the Olympic Games reflect the changes that have taken place in our world since the last game in 393 CE in Greece such changes include woman’s suffrage, global economy, world wars, and proving competency.
Grease is a beautiful musical, but sometimes two isn’t better than one. For die hard Grease fans is was truly sad to see how much of a disappointment Grease two was. The music in Grease two doesn’t even compare to the music in Grease one, even the theme of the two were completely different. They could at least be somewhat similar so that I could tell it’s a Grease sequel. Grease two was kind of like a reject version of the first Grease. I just strongly feel that Grease two was awful, and Grease one will always be one of the best
Facing hardships, problems, or obstacles shouldn’t discourage one from completing their task or job. Many of authors usually put their characters through tough complications to show the reader that no matter what happens; anyone could pull through. In the short story, “The Most Dangerous Game” by Richard Connel, the main character Mr. Rainsford gets stranded on an eerie island with a bad reputation. He meets General Zaroff and gets thrown into a huge hunting game, where his life is on the line. In the end, he wins the game and will continue to hunt animals, but not people, as the general once did. He will continue to hunt because one, hunting means everything to him. Two, he will not continue the general’s crazy ways, and resort back to the legal and non-dangerous to other humans sport. Third, he feels powerful when he becomes the hunter and not the hunted. Giving up hunting would be like giving up his life, so just because of a minor block he had to overcome, he will not give up hunting.

The positive message that the creator of this movie trailer wanted for people to comprehend was the fact that even a bird, in this case Rio who has been raised in a home, far away from its roots, will always have room for new experiences. In the human world, I see this as a message that no matter who you are, there is always room and time to get to know yourself better, and to explore all the possibilities that the world has to offer. The new experiences will always help to grow and to eventually conquer fears. The trailer also shows the importance of having family support and the importance of family. In the human world, family should be a priority.

During a wrestling match, you are using all of your previous knowledge of the moves you have been practicing over and over. On top of that you need to have the mental mind set that you are gonna win. You may think it is easy because it's only a six minute match, but all the blood, sweat and tears that us wrestlers put in for those six minutes, may be the happiest or saddest experience of our life. We spend hours a day working with our coaches to make sure our technique is close to perfection as it can get. Most likely, you will win or lose a match on how well conditioned you are. We will usually wrestle a twelve minute match in practice, so that six minute match feels like nothing. Even with the time and effort you put in this sport, they will always be someone who might be just a little better.

Toughness has become, or perhaps has always been, an American ideal. We want tough politicians, tough punishments, and tough citizens. Which is why it’s no surprise that an advertisement for American Football would want to be seen as “The tougher football.” In 2009 the Dusseldorf Panther’s released a billboard ad for their American football team that read “American Football. The Tougher Football” (Outdoor Advertisement). These words take up the bottom third of the photo with the second, smaller line reading “www.dusseldorfpanther.de” there’s then a break in between text where the panther’s logo is located followed by, “Getting Tougher Since 1978.” The image behind the words is that of a black man flexing his bicep. His bicep is shaped like
The Olympics are supposed to be a time of peace and a time where countries could come together and be free from politics. The Olympics are also a time where nations should put away their differences and celebrate the reason why they came to participate in the games, which was to play sports. Throughout history, many of the Olympics have lived up to this expectation. At the same time, there have also been some Olympics that have not lived up to this expectation because they have been experienced boycotts, political protests, and even violence. The politics in the Olympics need to be kept out because it there is no place for it. The 1980 Summer Olympics in Moscow is an example of one Olympics that was not free from politics because of the boycott started by the U.S.
The Race Beat, written by Gene Roberts and Hank Klibanoff is the story of how Americans reacted to its race problem, and how a country who expected nothing more than for a united nation after World War II came into the knowing of the inequalities of racial segregation in the South. It is a story of how the press, after years of paying no attention to the problems of the United States, began to realize the importance of the civil rights struggle and turned it into the most relevant story of the twentieth century.
The main characters in the film include Sebastian and Costa, who happen to be lifelong friends. Sebastian is a compulsive visionary who strives to direct controversial a film about one of history’s most influential figures, Christopher Columbus. He is determined to escalate the “myth” that western civilization's arrival in the Americas was a force for good. Instead, his story is about what Columbus set in motion; the hunt for gold, captivity of, and penal violence to those Indians who fought back. His story is counteracted by the radical priests Bartolome de las Casas and Antonio de Montesinos, the first people to ra...
The subversion of the stereotypical passive role of women on the road is also seen in the Brazilian 1998 road movie ‘’Central Do Brasil’’, directed by Walter Salles. The road movie displays the leading female character as an active player in shaping and forming the story line. The opening scene of the movie shows us people pouring in and out of trains and bustling around the train station of Rio de Janeiro from every segment of society (Brandellero 2013, 152). On the faces of these people one reads fear, uncertainty, haste and hopelessness and in this setting, Dora, a retired school teacher, supplements her income by writing letters to be posted for illiterate people to their loved ones. We are introduced to various characters who are desperate to share their
