thambelina Posted February 2, 2015 Report Share Posted February 2, 2015 My classmates and I are due to begin presentation planning soon and I was thinking of potential RLS. I really really want to talk about films or TV shows, did that with Jurassic Park last year (almost did Mean Girls for a practice one earlier this year). So here are a few potential shows that I was thinking of. 1. Sherlock - the Hounds of Baskervillehttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ibpJvtB4WIE I basically got my idea from the clip above - it's a clip where John is in the cage and he thinks he can see the hound, but then Sherlock releases him and tells him that he only saw the hound because he was told what to expect. 2. The Truman ShowThe whole show is about perception and I love love love the film but I'm not sure what to focus on. :/ 3. V for VendettaSame thing for this one. I feel as though there's a lot to be said for language and emotions, but not sure what to focus on. 4. Harvey Dent - portrayal of a "villain" as a "hero"Inspired by his quote, "You either die a hero, or live long enough to see yourself become the villain." At the end of The Dark Knight, Dent had done quite a number of bad things, but Batman insisted that those bad things be covered up for the public good. 5. Doctor Who - the Beast Belowhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HqSoRgqWeiw Based on this clip ^. The Doctor is trying to choose between:i. freeing an innocent beast --> killing loads of peopleii. let the beast continue in unendurable agony --> people liveiii. shocking the beast's brain so that it won't feel the pain, but will technically be brain dead --> both parties live(I honestly think this is the weakest one, as well as the hardest to explain, but I love Doctor Who so I felt the need to consider it too) Any suggestions are welcome! I know that Chris Nolan films are amazing, but I feel as though films like Inception and Memento are overdone, and frankly, pretty hard to talk about.

FrozenUnicorn Posted February 2, 2015 Report Share Posted February 2, 2015 I think your first choice is probably the best one. I saw the video and I think I know what you're thinking about that video. That example is pretty explicit as well. You can connect it to emotion and something else. Good luck!
