Image
      Many teenagers these days are chasing the thrill of an innocent roller coaster and theme park adventure to the more dangerous thrills of fast cars and drug abuse.

       The film "Fresh" touches on the indiscretion and unhealthiness in the fast food industry. The film does a beautiful job of informing the audience about how your food is made and what you put in your body, something that not many people consider. The decreasing quality of cleanliness takes a toll on health and well-being      With the film touching on topics that are familiar to younger audiences, you can assume that is the intended audience.

The film has a lingering serious tone, making you certain not to question the professionalism in the film.     This film touches on a serious topic and should be taken very seriously, our food intake is largely connected to our health and can be traced back to many diseases.

Theaters need to make more money causing them to close. Its safe to say cinema is in a blunder.   The rising popularity in large streaming platforms has decreased the need for cinemas to show movies.                                                As you can see in the line graph, cinema attendance peaked right before the release of big streaming platforms, only to crumble a few years later due to convenience. This has ruined ...

Knowing movies aren't a good source, I looked through YouTube's fight-or-flight moments and was amazed at what I saw. People do not know how to take care of themselves. They also continue to put themselves in danger daily, which in turn hurts other people.     The example I watched was of a person watching a car accident. The person doesn't move despite an obvious wreck occurring and only runs when the car appears to be heading towards her. This made me so angry because people don't take their own health into consideration anymore when they are doing or...
