Hi! How are you guys spending your weekend? Hope you had a good one.
Next week's media discussion is based on the film "Varmints" which we saw last week. When I first saw the film, it was hard for me to understand what the author wanted to say. I understood that it was about ecology and the urbanization taking over control. I couldn't get what the jellyfish meant at the last part. Moreover, the film didn't have any lines so we had to pay attention to the pictures and the bgm. There were sounds of like birds flying and varmints building skyscraper. Those sounds helped us to understand the contrast between the peaceful life and the life full of sadness and illness.
This film made me think seriously about the environment. I think that it is a complex issue because we just can't say to stop building bildings to developing countries because rousing the industry by building things will help the country to prosper. I think each one of us should take the environment issues seriously and make the world a better place to live in for our descendants.
