365 Movie Challenge:
11. Megan Is Missing, ★★★★★
I strongly feel the need to say this about this movie: Megan Is Missing…is the most shocking, disturbing, terrifying, heart breaking thing I’ve ever seen in my life. I’ve seen some fucked up movies. I sat through A Serbian Film (which I’ve seen twice), The Human Centipede 1 (which I own on DVD) and 2, Audition…just, give me a list of fucked up movies and I’ve seen it.
But none of those movies have impacted me like this movie has. I don’t want to give too much away, because I didn’t know a lot about the movie when I watched it but to put it in simple terms: Megan (14) and Amy (13) are best friends living in an internet dominated world. Cell phones, webcams, all the electronic communicators. They’re living how we’re living right now…and as we are today, they’re exposed to strangers online.
I’m 17, and I’ve been using the internet since I was Megan and Amy’s age. Luckily, I’ve always been…smart when it comes to talking to people online. And as I’ve gotten older, I know the rights and wrongs. Today…pre-teens are all over the internet. They have myspace, facebook, hell, my 12 year old cousin has skype. And the thing is—which is obvious—it gets dangerous. These children are exposed things that are unsafe. And by that I mean internet predators.
And this is what Megan Is Missing is about.
This movie is very realistic; the most realistic portrayal I’ve ever seen. If you watch this, don’t spend your time criticizing the actors because that isn’t what the movie is about. Its about…how easily a child can be put in danger by an internet predator. Once again, I don’t want to give too much away, but in the movie, these kids are buck wild. Like, they’re 14 and 15, going out partying, getting shitfaced drunk and sucking dick. Now, I know there are some people who would say “14 year olds would never do this!” or “This is totally unrealistic!” or something along those lines.
This is what I have to say to those people: fuck you, you’re wrong.
My 12 year old cousin ‘gossips’ with me all the time about how her friends have boyfriends, her friends are always kissing boys and dropping the f-bomb. While I’m listening to her, I’m like “what the fuck son?” They’re 12! 12 years old! They’re not even 13, they are 12!
And as they get older, they get wilder. I know 14 year old girls who have already sex, are experienced with boys and get drunk. I am 17, still a virgin, have only kissed a boy once and I never go partying. What the fuck is going on these 14 year olds?
These kids think they’re so…mature that they can do anything. And that is what puts them in danger. And that is exactly why this movie impacted me the way it did.
Because we live in the world of this movie. But that’s obvious; its exactly what the movie is trying to say. Preteens are putting themselves in danger by talking to strangers online, but the parents are also to blame, a point that is also made in the movie.
I know I’m rambling, but this movie has left me…in complete shock. I wanted to turn the movie off so bad, just shut my computer down and never open it again. There’s parts in the movie where I literally thought my heart was going to rip from my chest because it was pounding so hard. 85% of the time, I was covering my face with my teddy bear.
That’s how effective this movie is. I don’t know how you guys react during shocking movies, but that’s how I reacted, because this movie hits close to home. Megan Is Missing is what’s going on right now, right now something like this movie is happening.
I honestly, strongly, truly believe that everyone needs to see this movie. Parents, definitely. Preteens…yes, this movie is very intense, very disturbing and I can completely understand why someone wouldn’t want their kid to see this. But this thing is: the stuff in the movie happens. It happens everyday, and that’s what makes the film all the more heart breaking, disturbing and realistic.
Because this can easily happen.
So…yeah, I gave this movie 5/5 stars because the reasons listed above. Its an extremely powerful movie. I’m in tears while I write this.
This is…this is the world we live in.

I saw this movie months ago and haven’t been able to stop thinking about it. It really pisses me off that people take it so lightly and say things like, “I laughed through the entire rape scene.” Whatever, it’s a fucking movie, but it was really effective and if you don’t think that the things in this movie happen in real life, you are a fucking moron.

katiepalmersketchbook:

so two weeks ago my brother got his tonsels taken out
and then immediately after that he got pnemonia and coughed up all of his stiches, and swallowed a bunch of blood, which made him throw up, and made his throat tear even more.

we had to call an ambulance because he wouldn’t stop bleeding. he is okay now, but. i had to basically pull the inside of his throat out of the sink..
which i honestly didnt really mind. but i felt really bad throwing it away. just because it was like, a part of my brothers body. like, the interior of his body. throwing away his throat would be like.. throwing away his arm.

so i saved it in a bag instead and told myself i would figure out what to do with it later.

and the color of the blood just kept getting prettier and prettier…

….

but i was just sitting at my desk, listening to the new future, painting my toenails neon orange with golden moons and i was thinking, “man.. i just took a shower. maybe i shouldnt have eaten lucky charms for breakfeast? my breath smells really bad.. “
and then i was like….. “…..nooo.. it’s not my breath…. ” it is my brother’s throat.

so.. i am going to hide it in the garage. but in the very likely chance that my mom finds it and throws it away or the dog finds it, i thought i would scan my brother

i dont know if this is art or something that i wish didn’t smell so bad so i could sleep with like a stuffed animal

Like myself, today’s twentysomethings were raised to find our dreams and follow them. But it’s a different world. And as the jobless generation grows up, we realize the grand betrayal of the false idols of passion. This philosophy no longer works for us, or at most, feels incomplete. So what do we do? I propose a different frame of reference: Forget about finding your passion. Instead, focus on finding big problems.

—

To Find Happiness, Forget About Passion | Harvard Business Review

interesting take, and i think i’m feeling it more and more as time goes on.

“

Putting problems at the center of our decision-making changes everything. It’s not about the self anymore. It’s about what you can do and how you can be a valuable contributor. People working on the biggest problems are compensated in the biggest ways. I don’t mean this in a strict financial sense, but in a deeply human sense. For one, it shifts your attention from you to others and the wider world. You stop dwelling. You become less self-absorbed. Ironically, we become happier if we worry less about what makes us happy.

The good thing is that there are a lot of big problems to go by: climate change, sustainability, poverty, education, health care, technology, and urbanization in emerging markets. What big problem serves as your compass? If you’re a young leader and you haven’t articulated this yet, here are some things you can do.

Develop situational awareness. There’s too much focus on knowing the self. Balance this with knowing the world. Stay in touch. Be sensitive to the problems faced by the unfortunate and marginalized. Get out of the office and volunteer. If you’re in school, get out of the classroom. It’s been a long time coming, but business schools are finally instituting changes that put the real world at the center of their programs.

Look into problems that affect you in a very personal way. We’re more likely to be motivated by problems we can relate to on a personal level. In Passion & Purpose, Umaimah Mendhro recounts her story fleeing a war-torn Pakistan with her family and how the experience of dodging bullets to escape helped her summon the wherewithal to found thedreamfly.org, an initiative that helps create connections across communities in conflict.

Connect with people working on big problems. In a world where problems are by their very nature interdisciplinary, just getting to know people who are passionate about one problem leads to discussions on how other problems can be solved. When Jaime Augusto Zobel de Ayala helped reinvent Manila Water to better provide for the Philippines’ capital, he had to deal not only with the typical issues a public utility had to face, but also with problems related to climate change, technology, and community development.

Take time off and travel. Forget about traveling as a tourist. Instead, structure a trip that takes you off the beaten path. Go to an unconventional place. Backpack and get lost. The broader and richer experience pays dividends down the line. Steve Jobs described his time living in India as one of the most enriching and mind-opening phases of his life, and this undoubtedly helped him develop the intuition to solve the big problem of making lives simpler through technology.

We don’t find happiness by looking within. We go outside and immerse in the world. We are called to a higher purpose by the inescapable circumstances that are laid out on our path. It’s our daily struggles that define us and bring out the best in us, and this lays down the foundation to continuously find fulfillment in what we do even when times get tough.

Happiness comes from the intersection of what you love, what you’re good at, and what the world needs. We’ve been told time and again to keep finding the first. Our schools helped developed the second. It’s time we put more thought on the third.
