Alex's Movie-Image Exercise
Encanto is a beautiful family movie that follows a multigeneration Colombian family, the Madrigals, led by a matriarch whose children and grandchildren--except for Mirabel Madrigal--receive magical gifts from a miracle that helps them serve the people in their rural community. When Mirable learns that the family is losing their magic, she sets out to find what is happening and save her family and magical house. The film's music is phenomenal, and the characters are well thought through. Everyone who has a family can undoubtedly identify in one way or the other with the Madrigals. It's a heartwarming story.

Hytti nro 6: A Study of Humanity
The film “Hytti nro 6” tells
the story of a young woman Laura who travels by train through the Siperia to
Murmansk, Russia to see petroglyphs. Unfortunately, Laura gets a slightly
younger miner Ljoha as her cabin mate in the train. At first this man seems
like a complete drunkard with no manners at all. During a journey lasting
several days, two completely different people find connection, friendship and
even a bit of romance.
Ran's Movie Image Exercise
Summary: The film is based on the novel “Wives and Concubines” by Su Tong. It tells the story of a young woman (19 years old), Songlian, an educated woman who becomes the fourth wife of a wealthy man, whose face is never clearly shown during the 1920s in China.
The film explores themes of power, control, tradition, and patriarchy as Songlian becomes embroiled in the intense competition and jealousy between the four wives for the attention and favor of their husband. The wives' lives are highly regimented and controlled, with strict rules and rituals that they must follow.
In fact, the master decides on a daily basis the concubine with whom he will spend the night; whomever he chooses gets her lanterns lit, receives the foot massage, gets her choice of menu items at mealtime, and gets the most attention and respect from the servants.
Songlian, who had briefly attended university before the passing of her father and being forced into marriage, comes to the conclusion that she is happier in solitude; she eventually sees the competition between the concubines as a useless endeavor, as each woman is merely a "robe" that the master may wear and discard at his discretion. The following summer, after the Master's marriage to yet another concubine, Songlian is shown wandering the compound in her old schoolgirl clothes, appearing to have gone completely insane.

HEMISPHERIC MODE INDICATOR (HMI) RESULTS BEFORE SESSION TWO
I feel that this score adequately represents who I am. I can adjust myself to focus in on details, be organized, calculate, work towards goals, consider management, remove myself from situations, and use words to my advantage. On the other hand, I can also let loose, be creative, go with the flow when neccesary, make connections, use pictures and graphics to my advantage, and be empathic. I have the ability to shift back and forth.
However, this can also create chaos in my life. There are times when I can literally feel my brain floundering. I can't explain what it feels like. I visualize it as oil and water that has been swirled together. Sometimes I'm presented with a problem or situation and I simply freeze. I can feel my brain jumble up as it tries to decide which half is going to take over-as though the two halves are at war with each other. It's the strangest sensation. I wish I knew how to make them work together...
