War and Peace
So Steve Irwin's dead. The ONLY show/ ad that I saw him on for over 15 minutes was when I was waiting in line to enter Australia. He was Australia's spokesman for quarantine.
That's my tribute to him.
Just watched a documentary about the Munich massacre of 9 israeli atheletes who were taken hostage and then murdered by the Black September gang from Palestine.
Watching it from the view of an english student analysing a documentary, I discovered some form of symbolisms and techniques which were used to encourage sympathy, maybe even empathy from the viewers.
1) Most of the interviews with ex high-ranking officers were filmed with blackened/shadowed settings in the background indicating the seriousness and professionalism of their work. We're talking bout ex-heads of the Mossad, Israeli's top Intelligence unit.
2) Interviews with widows of the athletes however was taken in a home, warm, cosy environment; orange theme=warmth and love, that fuzzy feeling you get when you enter a house with that reddishy orangey warm-like shade of light.
3) I consider the colour blue as a neutral colour. It doesn't indicate anger, it doesn't represent peace. Its just like it is. Neutral. It can be both good and bad. That was the background for most of the interviews with ex CIA heads in Beirut where the apparently the Black September gang were carrying out operations.
4) Clips and snapshots of what happened during the Munich Olympics tragedy and of the execution/murder/termination/assasination of BS members directly/indirectly related to the tragedy was accompanied with mournful, sorrowful songs, whereas interviews didn't have background music---this is a direct attempt to gain our sympathy towards the incident and "giving" us the opportunity to analyse and view the documentary as intelligent human beings.
If Ms. Ruma read my analysis of the documentary, she might only give me a 50/100.
But all I can say is that the direct theme trying to be brought across to us audience is that tolerance is so important in our vastly expanding yet shrinking world.
The ending interview of the show was with a widow who wasn't supportive of the actions taken by the Israeli government. She brought orphans of the massacre to the Atlanta olympics, and they cheered for the Palestinian team.
I guess you can still have faith in humans. In the younger, newer, innocent generation.
Haih.
In an attempt to make our lives easier, I think our parents' generation just created more problems, and we are left to sweep up the dirt. Makes you wonder, will this viscious cycle continue to our future generation?
This is more interesting than learning about the polar/non-polar charges of amino acids k.

A documentary like that sounds like VERY good dissection fodder.
Alas, Steve Irwin died Monday, the world is still in mourning and internet hosting companies are making millions as news companies have trouble coping with the increase of hits on their servers,resulting in low bandwith.
The letter you sent was beautifully touching and no, I do not think that your usage of the language has regressed.
Gah I like talking so confusingly.Xp
P.s. I hate Html.

I hv absolutely no idea what does increased hits at irrelevant websites have to do with the topic of my post.
