This movie is about vin Diesel, Paul Walker, Michelle Rodriguez and director Justin Lin appear at key moment throughout the film offering observations and reflection on the movie.Since Dom (Diesel) and Brian's (Walker) Rio heist toppled a kingpin's empire and left their crew with $100 million, our heroes have scattered across the globe. But their inability to return home and living forever on the lam have left their lives incomplete. Meanwhile, Hobbs (Johnson) has been tracking an organization of lethally skilled mercenary drivers across 12 countries, whose mastermind (Evans) is aided by a ruthless second-in-command revealed to be the love Dom thought was dead, Letty (Rodriguez). The only way to stop the criminal outfit is to outmatch them at street level, so Hobbs asks Dom to assemble his elite team in London. Payment? Full pardons for all of them so they can return home and make their families whole again.

I chose these songs because all my life I've listen to country and Eric Church has been my favorite country artist. I started listening to country every since I was little because of my sisters so I grew up not listening to anything else but country. Eric Church relates to a lot of peoples life and that's what makes him so great. Eric isn't one of those people who are all about money, hes hardworking and comes from a small town, Eric Church once said "Many people have come to think they can just wake up and have things handed to them", this quote relates to my life each and everyday by working hard to be successful in life and to take over McGrath Press some day, but I don't want it handed to me, I want to strive for it. 

Eye of the Tiger

The song "Eye of the Tiger" by Survivor is about fighting and overcoming adversity to get what you want in life. It written for the movie Rocky 3. In the movie, Rocky was a champ boxer and was very famous after the second movie's ending. The beginning starts off with a montage of Rocky beating everybody who challenges him for the title. He now lives in a mansion and has a luxurious lifestyle. Then, when another boxer challenges him to a fight, he becomes overconfident and is caught up in his fame. This is similar to the verse "so many times, it happens too fast, you change your passions for glory.” His urge and commitment to beating Apollo Creed in the first two movies was traded for public attention and fame.

The main message of this song is that we should never think we are too good for something. We should give everything our best shot and focus on what we want to accomplish.

The quote stated by Michael Jordan in this image states “ I've failed over and over and over again in my life and this is why I succeed”.  I believe this piece of media is communicating that one should never give up and always strive for success. If one doesn't strive for success in times of adversity, than one will fail. When Michael Jordan is stating this quote, I believe he is referencing to his experience of not making his high school varsity basketball team. Instead of quitting Michael Jordan worked tirelessly at his basketball skills in order to improve and make the basketball team. By following the lesson of this quote, he then received a collegiate basketball scholarship to play at the University of North Carolina, and then got drafted to the NBA, and won multiple championships with the Chicago Bulls. The technique this is used to make this quote more appealing, is that the quote is placed on a picture of Michael Jordan dunking from the free throw line, which at the time many people thought was impossible. The intended audience, is everybody in the world because everybody goes through adversity and everybody can fight through it. I also intend to use this in times of adversity in my life.  I think this quote is accurate because any one can overcome anything. They just have to be willing to put the work in.

Despicable Me

Gru: “Look mom, I drew a picture of me landing on the moon.”

Gru’s mom: “Eh.”

Gru: “Look mom, I made a prototype of a rocket out of macaroni.”

Gru’s mom: “Eh.”

Gru: “Look mom, I built a real rocket based on the macaroni prototype.”

Gru’s mom: “Eh.”



Gru: “It’s like my heart is a tooth, and it’s got a cavity that can only be filled with children.”

Media Analysis:

The message that I think my video and quotes are trying to communicate is that people can change in the most unexpected way and that acting bad doesn't mean that you really are bad from the heart.  Gru from Despicable Me proved that to me.  He had a rough childhood and he is the main character that is communicating the message.  He was picked on at school and his mom didn't really pay much attention to him.  Gru was an outcast in his own life and he felt lonely most of the time, like he had no one in his corner.  So he grew up to become a villain and built an army of minions that would never disobey him and would always be there when he needed them.  But then he met the girls, Margo, Edith, and Agnes and his whole world changed.  He adopted them for his own selfish reasons just to help him with his master-plan but he ended up becoming really close to them and understanding what it was like to have a family.  He no longer felt alone and Gru’s journey from an angry villain to a loving dad really inspired me and made me love the movie. My media is directed to an audience of everyone.  It might be children that enjoy it the most but but this is a story that any age group could enjoy.  It’s about discovering other people as well as yourself and understanding the meaning of family.  That would have a target audience of anyone; it’s not a limited media piece.  This media is special to me and I enjoy seeing Gru grow and change as a person in a funny, heartwarming story.

The Greatest Game Ever Played represents my attitude towards my life now and my future. This true story outlines the road that Francis Ouimet took to winning the 1913 U.S. Open. He went against all the odds and beat the world's two best professionals and won as an amateur. This movie sends the message to never give up on your dreams, regardless of how unlikely they may be.  Francis understood that the odds of him winning were not in his favor, but that did not stop him from trying to accomplish the goal of winning the U.S. Open. If you never give up on your goals, one day you could achieve them. Francis Ouimet communicates this attitude in the movie by constantly trying to better himself not only as a person, but also as a golfer. He realizes that the only way that he can accomplish his goals is by always working hard and never quitting. In the movie they use a lot of glorifying shots. One such example is at the end of the movie. After Francis has won the U.S. open he is hoisted onto the shoulders of the crowd as everyone cheers him on. It just really shows how all the hard work paid off. It is a really inspirational shot that has stayed with me for a long time, it perfectly shows that perseverance can pay off greater that you ever expected. The intended audience for this movie is really any sports fan. Most sports fan realize that winning does not come without hard work, and while they may not be able to relate to Francis on this level, they can still relate to him on some level. Most athletes, professional or amateur have worked hard to become better at the sport they play, and when it eventually pays off, it is one of the best feeling in the world, and this movie almost gives you that feeling. This is a true story, and while some aspects of the movie may be embellished to some level, it gives you the idea of what winning that tournament might have been like, and the glory and satisfaction that came with it.

 I chose this quote because i think its very important to remember while going through life. People make mistakes everyday, every hour, and even every minute. Some mistakes are small and do not truly impact your life in anyway at all. For example, spilling your milk at dinner might have seemed like a really big deal when you were younger, but someone or even yourself seemed to save the day by cleaning it up in a matter of seconds. Sometimes, mistakes are bigger than spilled milk, and can effect the way the rest of your life is forever negatively or positively. For example, Someone asks you to try a new drug because "everybody's doing it" and you do and you become addicted to that drug and eventually your whole life because revolved around a drug. Sometimes people make mistakes that were for the best at the time but later on you regret making that mistake and dwell on what could have or should have been if you chose a different option. People shouldn't dwell and get depressed over things that happened in the past. The past is called the past for a reason. Leave your memories of the mistake their. Learn from them, grow from them, and never let your mistakes define who you are as a person.
