Week 10 blog The Drown Giant

Blog 10

The drown giant seems to hint that we as a species are too relax and naïve humans who have short intension span as almost as if we are all children even if something extraordinary happened it would not make a difference to us and become just a phase like so many modern materialistic trends that come up short in the long run. What draws the humans attention is not how the giant dead body got there or where did the giant came from or if this was any connections with the bio of humans and how closely we could be related since humans have had obsessed with the apes and how they are our like long distant cousins but how to used its parts for either science or fertilizer or amusement attraction or decoration demonstrating the human exploitation of anything we can get our hands on. The time went by when from the giant fears once a magnificent giant man with the ideal face of a roman man transform to a pile of rubbish that could symbolized mortality and humanity is quite fragile and very short like human’s attention span. Like an ant colony feeding upon a dead roach tearing it from limb to limb. At first it seem the humans connect to the giant but later the theme turn into dehumanizing the corpse into material to be used to humans for convenience and long lasting. The giant’s immortality is through his body being part of the beach city as a background or landscape. We as humans, humanize things until it becomes unrecognizable as what was unique but filter through human eyes as an object and as entertainment or profit.

The movie “Farenheit 451” seems to banned books or anything with written knowledge to prevent thinking and curiosity among the public. The films marks the books as taboo like they are poison or illegal drugs but is a reflection of American society and social media: how the common people rely on the social media to give them the truth but there is always censors in how the government or anyone with money and position can influence the topics and the complexity of the life subjects. There is a lack of independent relying on the government due to very strict rules and brainwashing. To not question the government and the theme “ignorance is bliss” is represented by the brainwashing TV, public education, and civil service. There seem to be isolation among the people who are distracted by TV the opposite of what they were taught by the government that the TV brings people together. So the people can’t make decisions or have any original thought or their own personal opinion. The moral of the story is humans, as individuals have to think for themselves in order to find what is right with our own mind and beliefs.
