Our Brains On Media



There are various kinds of movies for various kinds of tastes. Mainly, I like to watch musical, fantastic, adventure movies.
This fragment is from Step Up 2. The movie talks about the life style in the streets, streets dancers. And Andie’s mom died a time ago and she lives with her mother’s best friend who promised her mom to look after Andie. She is aware of Andie’s street dancing and is very worried about her, and wants to send her to Texas for her safety. Losing in bet, she accepts studying in The MSA, knowing it Tuck gets her out the crew. Meeting with Chase everything changes, they start their own crew, work hard and win the final battle versus “The 410” crew (street dancers) and get their respect back.
This movie is very interesting for me. When I watched this film I wanted to be able to dance alike. Who knows, maybe one day I also can dance like they do, maybe even better.:)
In the movie they start The MSA crew, set a goal and accomplish it .I would also like to achieve to my aim after my efforts. This film influences my LIMBIC, REPTILIAN, NEORCORTEX brains.
Dancing relates to reptilian and music to limbic.But dancing is based on music,plus if we consider that as the result of our emotions,affected by music we start to dance, so somehow we can equalize them in this context.
The movie makes me think, because in the movie they take risk and accomplish to their goal. And there is a saying that “If you don’t risk, so means you risk even more!”, which makes me think. The second think that makes me think in the movie is this sentence “It's not what you've got, It's what you make with what you've got”, which I think is the highlighted part of the movie.

  1. Dilara,

    What an interesting example of video here! Nice choice. I have not seen this movie clip before.

    And the dancing - is it LIMBIC, REPTILIAN or NEOCORTICAL? (I think LIMBIC - lots of image-driven movement and music, right?)

    Good work - go DOTCOM!
