Th Source Code

"I took your advice, it was very good advice." This was the first thing Captain Colter Stevens heard while entering the Source code. Immediately causing suspense to the viewers mind. He is with this girl named Christina who keeps calling him Shawn. He doesn't understand what is going on. Then suddenly the train explodes and Captain Stevens finds himself in a dark room, with computers around him, strapped to a chair.  Captain Stevens finds out through out this trailer that the Source code enables you to cross into another man's life in the last 8 minutes of it. His mission is to find out who bombed the train and to stop him at his next attack in 6 hours. Later in the trailer he decides that he wants to save Christina but he can't alter that reality while in the Source code. 

There seems to be alot going on in this trailer for Captain Stevens.  He seems to have this time factor against him all the time. Two of which is the only 8 minutes in the source code, and 6 hours till the next bombing attack is. Time being against him all the time, will be difficult for Captain Stevens. It will test his abilities in different ways, such as strength to push through and courage.

This movie also seems to have a dark vs light factor to it where you see him coming out of the source code it's dark, so maybe this darkness indicates something we don't know about yet. Maybe about the mentors we see and what they are going to do to him. Or maybe what they are hiding from him.

We also see Captain Stevens struggle with this trying to save the girl (Damsel in distress) factor with this girl named Christina that we see in the movie.  Although she has a mysterious side to her, so she could possibly be the temptress. She seems to be to calm in the trailer and at the beginning she says "I took your advice, it was very good advice" showing the reader that mysterious side to her, throwing us off.

This was a very amazing trailer and I can't wait to see the movie.

Athena (Minerva) and Hades (Pluto)

Before I do some Archetypes on movies, I would like to show you all who my favorite and least favorite god/ goddess are.

My favorite:
Athena, or Minerva  if you prefer, is the daughter of Zeus,and Zeus alone. No mother bore her, just Zeus. In her story it says that she sprang from Zeus' head , full-grown and in full armor. She is a fierce and ruthless battle-goddess who defends the state and home land from outside enemies. She was the inventor of the bridle, who first tamed horses for men to use. She was Zeus' favorite child.  He trusted her to carry the awful aegis, his buckler, and his devastating weapon, the thunderbolt. The word most people use to describe her is "grey-eyed". Of the three virgin goddesses, she was the chief.

In the picture, we can she her clothes,weapons, and shield. Her clothes are white, which symbolizes purity and peace, but her shield and weapons are orange which  symbolizes pride and ambition. Also on her shield, you can see that she has snakes. They are green, which symbolizes                                                                                  death.

My questions to you are; 

Is it ok that Zeus, from all the children he has, has a favorite child?

And...

Does it disturb you that Zeus had a child, all by himself? Is this possible?

My least favorite:

In Greek mythology, we see Hades who is the third brother among the Olympians. He who rules over the underworld and death. In his story, it shows that he was also called him

Pluto, the God of Wealth, of the precious metals hidden in the earth. He had a far-farmed cap or helmet which made whoever wore it invisible. It was rare that he ever left

 underworld, or hell if you prefer, to visit Olympus or the earth and he wasn't urged to do so, he wasn't a welcomed visitor. A terrible, but not evil, god. His wife was Persephone (Proserpine) who he had carried away from the earth to make his queen of the underworld.

In this picture you can she Persephone's reaction to being taken  away from the upper world and down to the lower by Hades.

By carring away persphore like an object, I see a relation to "House on Mango Street". In this book, they talk about how Esperanza's grandmother was talking away against her will like a "fancy chandelier" and was forced to marry her grandfather. In Greek Mythology it shows Hades taking away Persephone against her will as well. Making her his queen. In the end, of both Persephone's and Esperanza's grandmother's stories, it shows that they both are very unhappy because of the men in their lives.

        

My question is;

Does this prove that women are vulnerable towards men?
