What do we learn about modern society from "The Joneses"?

From this film we can learn that the society are not individual. I think that every person have their own soul and they need to be right with it. “The Joneses” shows that people want to be like others or even better than them. It’s a little bit stupid because everyone has their own needs and doesn’t need to share others. Also we can see that how easy is to promote an useless things that people want to have.

Does art need to be beautiful?

 I think that art doesn’t need to be beautiful. Every person has their own meaning of beauty. So everyone could like different type of art. If all art will be beautiful it would be so boring. Sometimes in art the meaning is more important than the appearance. In some artistic work the history of creating or conditions are meaningful not the look. I think that art is not for everyone because if we see only a nice picture and we are not looking for a meaning it doesn’t make sense.

What does It mean to be a real man in 21st century?

I think nowadays is very hard to describe a real man. Women want to be treated the same like men because they also want to make career which was impossible in the past. A real man is a person who has respect for others, specially women. Man should be a head of the family, he should take care of the members, provide security and help women in their daily chores. Nowadays are a lot of families where men do things like cooking or cleaning, everyone should help the other person without grading.

Review

In this short film “Tree of life” David Attenborough speaks about how life began. He explains how and in which order every kind of organism start to live. I really liked this film, because he in very short version shows us how there is life on Earth and how one animal transformed to another. He speaks slowly and understanding. I think that bringing up any topic with not a lot of time is very hard, but he did it, and he did it in very interesting way.

Would you like to work in this hotel?

I don’t want to work in this hotel. I think that I must be perfect, I can’t make any mistakes, this will make me feel stressful. Also this work, especially in lower position, is very tiring. Matbe you will get a lot of money for this job, but money is not everything, you need to feel happy in your daily work (or if you can’t have another job and you need money, you need to start liking your job). I think that this responsibility of working in the best hotel in London isn’t for me.

Is it possible that people will stop being thowaway society?

I think that is impossible that people will stop being throwaway society. People are accustomed to buying new things when something is broken. Now only a few people can fix something by himself. Sometimes big companies demand a lot of money for broken piece, they want people to buy another thing. This is how they make money and they won’t change that, because they will bankrupt. We won’t change all mechanisms of our society so we won’t stop being throwaway society.

Why in the age of science do so many people believe in supernatural things?

People believe in supernatural things because this is easier for them. We can find a lot of movies where are things like ghosts or supernatural powers. People easily believe in them. They don’t have to look if there is an explanation, they just saw something and think that’s true. Nowadays science can explain almost everything. People just don’t want to have an scientific explanation, they prefer to believe in ghosts which they saw in movie.
