The movie Happy Feet is meant to be a cute funny movie. This is mostly the case but it has some remnants of an ugly duckling type movie with some issues with the ecosystem thrown in. The movie starts with two penguins who fall in love and have an egg. While the mom is outContinue reading “Happy Feet”

After reading the excerpts from and watching the Ted Talk I fell slightly more educated. Of course I already knew that CRT and Ecocriticism intersected in multiple ways but the ways that some of the reading and the talk explained it were ways I hadn’t really thought about before. In the book Earth Democracy thereContinue reading “The Intersection of CRT and Ecocriticism”

This movie was never one I have gotten into but the idea and concepts are pretty good. It sort of reminds me of Fern Gully as well as Epic. These are all movies where one person is brought into another world they never thought could exist and manage to change their minds about it andContinue reading “Avatar”

I went into this movie not knowing what to expect. I had never heard of it and decided not to read anything about it before I watched it. At first I was very confused and had no idea how the stories tied together. The fact that it jumped from place to place was also veryContinue reading “My thoughts on Babel”

Wow the movie was one that I had not watched and was not really sure how I felt about it. I know that it was supposed to show black men and women in a place of power but I felt that it still had many stereotypes in it. For instance the violence that was inContinue reading “Black Panther”

So much information packed into such a small amount of writing. I have had some experience with the Critical Race Theory (CRT) but mostly just in the past couple years. Before my college experience I had not really ever been taught about white privilege. I don’t know if that was a normal growing up forContinue reading “Critical Race Theory and Me”
