  • He expresses his desire to change his way of working. 
Right : "I will be a new singer [...] I will be magic, a perfectionist."  

 Thriller

 Then we watched the video for Thriller. It showed the fascination of Michael Jackson for shifting, changing identities : At first he's an actor in a romance, then a werewolf, then a teenager in a movie theatre, and he ultimately turns into a zombie. It's like a video version of his 1979 manifesto, he wants to create a new person, a new face. By becoming someone new, he lost himself.

Myths & Heroes 1

The Myth Of Robinson Crusoe Today we studied a picture together. At first we noticed a palm tree ( un palmier ) ; if there was a palm tree, the scene would probably take place on a tropical island. And if there was a tropical island and the topic was myths & heroes, then it could be about Robinson Crusoe. After that, we could see a man with a gun and a sword. He had strange, self-made clothes on. He could be hunting ; he also looked like a settler. Finally, we understood he had another man under his foot. If it was about Robinson Crusoe, it might be Friday. There were dead bodies in the background too. If there were corpses, then maybe Robinson was the murderer. To put it bluntly, it seemed racist and insensitive. We can wonder to what extent is Robinson Crusoe a hero and a myth... a rifle rags a settler a corpse / a body to put it bluntly sensitive / sensible to what extent... 1.

Idea Of Progress 6

Launching the Mro  Today we watched another document about the Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter. We understood that the satellite couldn't respond immediately ; it had a 12 minute delay. there were a lot of engineers and scientists to design this. They came from all over the world (the H1B helps, this is the genius visa).  We also noticed that the MRO had to burn a booster to slow down and be attracted by the gravitation of Mars. It then takes 6 months for the satellite to stabilize its orbit. Warm Up Georges Méliès special fx  CGI (Abyss) 1896 he / she / it
