Final Thoughts: Hon 255

My final thoughts on this course: Overall, I really enjoyed this course and love how Professor Echeverry pushed each student out of their comfort zones. A room full of majors like biology, psychology, marine science, political science, etc. and our professor had us putting on fashion shows. I also liked how we were assigned many group projects. This allowed us all to collaborate and bring each other's creative sides out. My favorite assignment was the Interstellar project. That was my favorite movie we watched by far, and creating that video was a lot of fun too. I liked using this class as an escape from the more boring and exhausting science courses I am used to. I loved having Professor Echeverry as a teacher: he always kept things real and interesting and opened my eyes to a lot of things I would have never even thought about before. His assignments were always different and creative, and in turn required us to be different and creative as students. Thank you for takin...

The Matrix: Conclusion

Red Pill vs. Blue Pill After much debate between taking the red pill versus taking the blue pill, I can conclude that I would personally take the red pill. Although I see the pros and cons of each pill, if it was brought to my attention that there was a whole truth behind all the lies I was being fed, I would never be able to simply ignore that information. I would need to know the truth. Although it presents more of a risk, I could not take the blue pill and continue living my simulated life happily: I would always wonder what the red pill would show me and regret not taking the opportunity to learn. It is normal to question reality, society, the government, etc. but if given the option to know the truth and know that we could at least attempt to do something about it, what does it say about us if we do not take it and continue to live in ignorance?

Interstellar Reflection

This is literally one of the most brilliant movies I have ever watched in my life. I am obsessed. I have been listening to the piano soundtrack and watching Tik Toks of it ever since I finished it. It is AMAZING. Not only is the cast incredible, but the story, every element of this film has left me speechless. At the end, I was SOBBING. Matthew McConaughey is probably one of my favorite male actors, so I loved seeing him in this movie. I adored his relationship with Murphy and it reminded me of my relationship with my dad, which just made the whole movie even sadder. It was just amazing wow. A part that stood out to me was when Cooper was finally able to receive the video messages and he sees Murph all grown up. McConaughey's acting in that scene is unreal. It literally gave me chills. As far as the ending, I guess it was essentially a happy ending but it was just so sad. I'm glad they were reunited, but it broke my heart. The easter eggs throughout the ...
