This post will be focused mainly on some of my favorite films and why I'm taking the class. One of my personal favorite movies of all time is Terminator 2. I had watched the first Terminator prior to watching Terminator 2 and liked it a lot. It also made me wonder going into the film, how can they make the sequel better than the first and strong entry of The Terminator? I found my answer as I got to within the middle of the film, as the story of the sequel compared to the original is more layered, along with the superb action from the first film being in this one. There are more characters in Terminator 2 as well, and they are also more important and central characters to the plot as well, and they all work together so well. One of the best sequel films ever in my opinion.
Another film I enjoyed a lot is American Psycho. This was mainly because of the psychological aspect that this movie brings, with the main character slowly losing his mind as the film goes on. The best part about this film, though, was its ending because it left it up to the viewers to interpret the ending, and what happens in the film itself. I took this class because I enjoy watching movies and TV shows, and I want to learn the evolution of filmmaking, as well as watch certain genres of films that I don't usually watch and see how I like them. I don't have any career aspirations in the field of film and media, though I do plan on watching more film and media this year and beyond.
