Tasked with analyzing an ad for this entry, I chose this image of Tiger Woods. Woods is pictured with both the Nike "Swoosh" behind his head, and as the shape of his mouth. This suggests that to Woods, Nike, one of his major sponsors, is all encompassing. To be direct, he speaks Nike. This ad asserts that since he is sponsored by this company, he is almost obligated to speak about it, in a positive manner at all times. He is displayed in a suit which says that he is all business when it comes to his sponsors.
This blog is intended to get me an A in my college freshman English course. Honestly I'm not expecting anyone to read this, but if you stumble upon it, leave some funny comments or something.

My Own Film
John Smith is a regular teenage boy who is terrible at sports. He's picked last for any inter-mural teams, and is even incapable of playing sports video games without losing horribly. All of this poor-fortune forces John to take a walk around the local Toxic Waste Dump, as most kids his age would do. However, one day, he slips in a pile of Toxic Waste #9 and passes out. When he wakes up, he's in his bedroom, with his friends calling, offering to play baseball with him. He eventually accepts their offer, as he is still trying to figure out what's going on.
At the game, he hits a home run, and is faster than he has ever been before. This extraordinary ability continues and he joins his High School baseball team. One game he is scouted by a professional team, and ultimately plays for them in the Big Leagues.
John has power, fame, money, and of course, lovely ladies. He is living the good life, until one day two men come to his house, attacking and kidnapping him. They question him about the Toxic Waste #9 from his childhood, and force him to show them where the last remaining barrel is. As John looks at them, they keep flickering in and our, almost like a bad hologram, however he is used to this since the accident this is how he sees all people and things from time to time. As he has no idea where to find the last barrel, he escapes with the use of his super-strength and continually avoids them as the two men seem to be around every corner.
One day, 20 years after the accident, on the biggest day game of his life, he is the last one walking out of the locker room, and suddenly the lights go out, he here's people yelling, but can see no one. Some yells, "He's coding!" but is confused by this. He feels jolts to his body and is in extreme pain, feeling his body go weak, he struggles, harder than he ever has before, until....the pain stops. Everything is black and he hears someone say "He's stable, he's okay" Slowly, light starts to creep in from his eye lids and the person he has been hearing begins to become frantic yelling that, "he's waking up! Someone call his parents! He's waking up!"
John opens his eyes fully, looks around at the Hospital, and the bed he lays in. He is no longer a strong man, but a weak interpretation of what he once was. Looking at the nurse he asks her what is going on, but finds himself unable to speak.
the nurse tells him that he has been in a coma for the last 20 years. Everything John has lived has been imagined.

Not Necessarily a Favorite
So this post will focus primarily on a sports film. I recently watched the movie "Fighting" and although I feel as though I cannot quite yet consider it my favorite movie, I did enjoy it thoroughly. "Fighting" centers itself around the gritty lifestyle of street boxing in New York. What initially drew me to this movie was the Fight scenes. As a full-blooded, all-American guy I am naturally drawn to anything gory or brutal. The main conflict of this film centers around a fighter dealing with a bad past, who just recently began street boxing. Money and Status come into play as he determines ways of dealing with his life, as it begins to change with the money he earns from the fights.
This is a fantastic movie, one which I would recommend to anyone who likes a good Fight Movie.
