Live Action Aladdin Review

Image
Photo Courtesy of Disney       It came as no surprise to me that one search of the 2019 live-action version of “Aladdin” on Google came up with a mirage of reviews with claims such as “an embarrassment to Disney” and “this is not what you wished for” and one scalding review after another. Those who aren’t angry, are mostly just confused. It seems like most people don't really know how to feel. I knew there would be some awful reviews, hell, I think skeptical and scolding reviews were coming out before the movie even hit the box office. It was like people were ready to hate it, looking for every reason to pick apart the movie. The key, I think, is not to think of the movie as a remake, but its own separate story. The new live-action “Aladdin” makes some changes from the original animated version. For starters, they attempt to delete potentially racist scenes or lines that the 1992 “Aladdin” overlooked. In the opening song, “Arabian Nights,” the line “It’s barbaric, b

My Best Photo Journalism

The best photo I took this term was the one pictured above of the Wallowa Lake Marina. I liked this photo because of my use of black and white. Because tourist season hasn't hit yet, and the weather wasn't perfect, the lake was deserted. In this small town, the summers are filled with tourists, so a deserted lake is not something we will see until winter hits. I think this picture perfectly captures the calm and peaceful lake, something only locals ever get to experience. I think I got a new, fun angle, something I learned in photojournalism. I think I don't always look for the best photo anymore, but what photo is going to tell the best story. What is this photo saying? To me my photo is telling the tale of a small town, a hidden gem, a peaceful day. If I didn't live there already and I saw this picture, I would sure want to go. I am also better at setting up my setting for the lighting, fixing the setting and am more familiar with my camera, and take a lot more sh

Humans of LBCC: Christopher Batman and Elisa Kanoff

Image
Christopher Batman   Christopher Batman is in his second term of his freshman year, majoring in Machine Tools. Christopher has spent the past 5 years in the Army, and is now transitioning from the structured life that the army provides, to the loose setting of a college campus. He has spent most of his free time in the veteran center at LBCC, and it has been a major safe haven for him. He explains how great it is to have a place to connect with people who are used to the lifestyle of the military; 5 a.m wake ups and the fast paced and "craziness you see in the real army". With a wake up time of 6 a.m Christopher is excited to have a class this term at 9 a.m, where last term all of his classes started at 1 p.m. and he was bored all day. His favorite class last term was Comm 111 with Jacob Hood, and he's excited to see what this term has to offer. Elisa Kanoff Elisa Kanoff is second year, duel enrolled at LBCC and OSU. She is heading towards a major in Fish
