Outline of the Second Term Paper

Introduction-Science Fact or Cinematic Truth

II- Final Fantasy: Advent Children

- Fight between Tifa and Lars: Tifa smashed into church pews. The pews break, but there is no visible recoil on Tifa from the pews.

-Tifa is thrown toward a wall at a high speed, but manages to land lightly. There is hardly any momentum in her leap forward.

-little recoil from Baron’s gun, which is attached to his arm.

III. Pirates of the Caribbean: At World’s End

- Crabs carrying ship over sand dunes effortlessly. Inconsistent in that the weight of the ship would have buried the crabs into the sand.

- Ship on the sea hits a wave, dipping forward. Yet Will and Elizabeth, who are both locking lips don’t seem to react with the dip.

-Two ships fire at another on sea and the captain walks calmly down the stairs as the stairs on either side are exploding from canon fire. Such close range should affect the captain, but doesn’t.

IV. Aladdin

-Aladdin slips up on a rope and the soldiers collide into each other, recoil is instantaneous and makes a hard hollow sound.

-Soldiers fall from a building and all land in a rickety cart, which is made to recoil with more elasticity than normal.

The magic carpet can be soft and malleable sometimes, and then it doubles as stairs or a hard surface. It interacts with the action with suited reactions.

V. Conclusion

  1. I guess that the principle you're discussing is action/reaction. Be sure that's clear in the paper. 10 points
