Our Brain on media





I like watching horror films. I'm not afraid of watching horrors because these films teach us to be fearless and overcome the difficulties we face in our life. "The Mist" is my favorite one. The film is a real horror movie.I'd like to express the influences of three forms of brains on this film.
A quiet life in a small town. First everything is going well.Attractive nature, the happy life of a family, everything is in front of our eyes. first of all it touches the limbic part of my brain. Then everything is changed. It happens suddenly and we don't notice what happens.




Oh... My God! what a scary situation. The mist comes over the lake towards the town. It is dark, scary and even funny. Oh!! I can't breath. My heart is beating fast... My whole body is trembling. My eyes are opened. I have never had such a feeling. The mysterious mist!!! It influences to the reptilian part of my brain. I have negative emotions. The Mist brings monsters, strange creatures. The film doesn't show where they come from. We must use our imagination. When watching the film I can hear their voices,feel their thoughts and feelings. The film doesn't have a happy ending. The main character David Drayton did his best in order to find ways to escape them. It influences our neocortex brain. Imagine yourself in being such situation what would we do? Fear makes us do all which we think we could never do. at the end of the film I was nearly physically paralyzed. I felt myself among them for a while and I also had the same feelings as them. Then I realized that it wasn't a reality it's just like a dream.

  1. Tiguan,

    This is brilliant analysis! Thanks for being so personal with your selections for video, too.

    I read the short Stephen King story, THE MIST, but have not yet seen the movie. Reading this makes me want to see it, though.

    Good work!
