Campus Movie Fest! (10/9/09)

Yesterday I went to the campus movie fest with Patrick, Mynesha, and Ryan. I was actually very surprised at how interesting many of the movies were. There are a lot of talented teams at SJSU. We got there around 6:50, although I'd been there since about 3:30 for the movie our group was filming. Anyway, there were a lot of great videos, but one of my favorites was one called "Resistance" which was about a new brand of software that would affect people's social security. The man who created the software realized what the Government wanted to do with it, so he tries to destroy it, but he is killed in the process. It was very stirring and emotional. Another film I liked was one about the dangers of drinking. Two brothers are playing beer pong and the younger one is dominating his older brother. In the end it becomes clear that the younger brother died in a car crash because his brother encouraged him to drink at a party a while back. The brother is suffering with guilt and has become an alcoholic. It really made me think and it made me sad. That was one of the best movies I saw there.
