Be Kind Rewind

1. Casting; Do the actors suit the roles that they were cast in? Are they believable as part of the reality they are in?
a. Jack Black as Jerry Gerber
b. Mos Def as Mike
c. Danny Glover as Elroy Fletcher

Yes, I think the actors were well casted, because Jerry Gerber acted as the responsible one and Jack Black was the carefree character. And I can honestly say that I believed them to be the characters they played.


2. How does technology impact the community at the beginning of the film? At the end of this film?

You saw how little technologies they used in the video store and how it changed once they made their own movies. With the different projectors and t.v.'s.

Media of The Future

Samsung Restore: An Eco-Friendly Phone, is coming out this summer and will be the new sensation in eco-friendly phones, because of the fact that it has all the technology needed that is found on all other phones. We are so scared of the what the world's becoming, everyone is looking for new ways to be eco-friendly and this is a perfect way to do it, because so many people are getting cell phones earlier on in their lives. This product will be great for the environment and will give us insight on how many things can be changed for the better. I hope that everyone can follow in the foot steps of the buyers of this product, because I know I will.

Buffalo Bill

1. Give at least 3 examples where the lines between reality and entertainment became blurred during the life of William Cody.

William Cody became so caught up in the acting business that his real life became unimportant to him. On the sets of the show natives lived in tipis, which made everything seem even more real. Because he was always away from his family his job seemed to be his real life and his real life was rarely part of his reality.

2. What reason do we have to call Buffalo Bill the original world celebrity?

Buffalo Bill started every thing that was movie like, his shows were so shockingly new to everyone, that he pretty much invented the new way of entertainment.

3. How could Buffalo Bill have benefited from new media? Who would have been some of his facebook friends?

His facebook friends would probably have been very well known directors of our time, all famous people would have known him personally, because if he did have the media that we have today then he would have made very great things happen.
