"super size me" review

When I watched the movie to the end, it was sickening to me that McDonald's menu held up a lot of effects that will lead me to an early grave. I was freaking scared that the salads that they sell at McDonald's holds as much calories to a big mac which I thought had the most calories besides the double quarter pounder. The part that impact me during the movie was when the camera man video tapes the surgery of the man to make his stomach smaller. A part of me that wants McDonald's is dying away as I go towards more to Subway than the greasy stuff. This made me think about the fast food industries in general and I got to say they it'll lead kid's to nothing but misery awaiting for them. For example, my dad ate a lot of McDonald's as he was a kid to his adult life but then his kidney failed. He was on the dialysis for years and recently he had his kidney transplant. So fast food really screw you over in a long run. As my belief of the demonic religion says "Welcome to Hell and let the torture begins."

From what I am understanding, someone who want to make a movie like this is because they want to show the consequences on a trend that is widespread. It'll teach us the mistakes we make with our daily decisions About the filmmaker's movie it's more objective because they try to contact with McDonald's for their opinion but they shut them off so they try to do revelations without their input.

Consumerism to the state of mind

To my perspective of consuming, I do buy more stuff I don't need but you can't help it since it's part of my lifestyle. When it comes to brand names, Brand name are important to me because I at least know a company that doesn't let me down fully when there is a crisis in hand.

When advertisement comes to mind, I sometimes in the middle of buying of said object or not but it all comes down to the presentation they came with so I only get persuaded if they did the advertisement that brings out emotion and a message to buy it or you're a noob kind of thing.

If i think about it, I always buy stuff that aren't essentially helpful to me as it'll cause more harm like iPods will decrease my sense of hearing or video games to make me more laid back, lazy, and sometimes addicted to extreme levels to quit school. To be a smart consumer is to buy some luxury items but not very often. Also, look out for sales out there so you can get a better deal.

My reading experience that made me as a writer

When I was introduced to fan fiction, it changed my life as it shifted my interest from mindless video games to reading fan fictions. The first fan fiction I read was about a blonde ninja that was fatally wounded and his former teammate/ crush punched him for his failure of retrieving their former teammate/ her crush. When she pulled out a kunai knife, she charged straight towards his heart but a girl with blue hair and lavender eyes stepped in, taking the blow to her heart as she wants to protect her crush. She confesses to him of how she felt and the former teammate was about to strike again but she was restrained by the village leader and her special task force that just arrived to the scene. The village was utterly disgusted of what her former apprentice did and sent her to the village's most sadistic interrogator and sent to jail for most of her teen life. The blonde ninja was traumatized in that moment and requested to leave and go to his best friend's village. It was approved and it was one the best decisions he made in his life. Once he got there, he joined their military ranks and found the love of his life who was a fellow blonde. She was the strongest women ninja and they hooked up and marry each other. She then had a baby which was the happiest moment of his life but still feel hatred towards his former crush. The last time he visited his home village, he told her that the next time she sees him, she'll die. No one feels sympathy for her as she was an outcast who broke the sacred rule of not attacking a fellow comrade. When her time came, she begged for her life, felling sorry of what she did. He gave her no mercy and he sliced her head off. That was the summary of the story and I was inspired to write fan fiction's ever since as the person who wrote this was in high school. The imagination it was used made my mind into a movie theather as reading the words made the vision of the story.
