Capstone Cinema
So I missed the Capstone Cinema, but I was able to watch the Story of Stuff online. I got an email with the link and it said to watch it if I didn't go to a cinema and write a page long reflection on it. So The Story of Stuff was pretty interesting. I thought it was very biased though. But then again I think it was made as a short film so there is very little room to cover all the view points. But really liked one point she made, consumerism. I agree with her on that we fell into this scheme over consumerism, where we value our lives solely on what we have. I know that many people go out and buy things to feel better, even I'm guilty of that sometimes (but I buy music, so I think it does a lot less damage than buying a whole bunch of clothes or some really expensive electronic). In order to solve the crisis of dwindling resources and excess garbage we have to cut back on the consumption.
