On Movies‘Hardcore Henry’

By Alex NelsonStaff Writer

When life gives you lemons,you make lemonade. Or in Henry'scase, when life gives you roboticlimbs and sends bad guys yourway, then you get hardcore. "Hardcore Henry" stars Sharlto

Copley, Danila Kozlovsky, HaleyBennett and Tim Roth. It is direct-ed by Ilya Naishuller and rated "R"for strong violence, strong lan-

guage, nudity and gore.A young man known only as

Henry just woke up on an operat-ing table with no memory of whohe is with the exception of a flash-back of a mysterious man (Roth)connected to his past. A scientistnamed Estelle tells Henry that heis her husband, and that he hasbeen given cybernetic limbs.Before she can continue to explainwhat's going on, a group of merce-naries led by Aken (Kozovsky)raid the facility and take Estelleaway. Now with the help of abizarre stranger known only as

Jimmy (Copley), Henry must takethe fight to Aken and rescueEstelle while kicking butt allaround.There have been plenty of films

that take the viewpoint of a videocamera, but I would never havethought that I would see an actionmovie used in that style until now.In a clear sense it is like a live-action, first-person shooter madeinto a movie which takes you onfor a ride through the viewpoint ofthe main character. We don't know much about the

main character, Henry, yet at the

same time you want to root forhim as he continues his journey.The plot does feel like an averageaction movie, but there are a fewtwists that you do not see coming,which I did find interesting. Ishould note that I did get a bitdizzy while watching the movie,due to the heavy movements ofthe camera. Therefore, for thosewho feel they might get dizzy orsick from watching movies likethis, you might want to take a passon it.Sharlto Copley's role in the film

was actually interesting to watch

as he plays the mysterious andbizarre Jimmy, who is just as awe-some as Henry. Overall, I do likehow this movie took the wholeviewpoint through the cameraconcept and turned it into anaction movie. I admit, though, Iwouldn't see it again in theatersdue to the fact I got dizzy and hada small headache afterwards,though your experience may bedifferent. The movie wasn't mem-orable for me, yet it was still inter-esting to watch.I personally give "Hardcore

Henry" 3 out of 5 Beavers.

Book Review‘Revolutionary Road’ by Richard Yates

identity that they want. However,they are trapped in the roles thatsociety puts upon them - a sub-missive suburban wife for April,and a stable provider role forFrank. April is compelled to lovethe idea of having more children,and Frank is deemed to take fullresponsibility for the entire fami-ly. In the novel, the society fright-fully demands such conformityfrom the couple. Being exhaustedfrom empty roles they cannotrelate to at all, they look for com-fort in adultery and domestic dis-pute.In the novel, their dream is to

move to France to make self-real-ization possible. April wishes

Frank to discover what his pas-sion is at last in France, and she isready to support him with herunconditional love and her secre-tary job. Their dream shatters inan instance by April’s pregnancyand Frank’s promotion, pushingboth to stick to the roles they wereassigned: a mother and a father.In “Revolutionary Road,” we

see their neighbors and cowork-ers, who continuously hinder andconfuse the couple from chasingtheir sincere feelings, by reactingto their dream, both supportingand skeptical. According to them,the couple is under-appreciatingwhat they’ve got: a beautiful fam-ily and a sophisticated house at

115 Revolutionary Road. Frankand April cannot find an outlet forthe pain that comes from theirbroken identities, without realiz-ing that the source of their pain is,in fact, the society they reside in.We are able to see contrasting

sides of the couple’s passion in thenovel. When they are in love, theyare the most compassionate, andwhen they are upset, they becomethe most violent. They attack eachother, scream from the top of theirlungs to express how much theyloathe even the sight of each other.In Yates’ “Revolutionary Road,”the characters’ anxiety and des-peration that cannot be easilyhealed by an apology or a hug are

vividly portrayed. Despite themarriage based on love, or beauti-ful children that surround them,Frank and April are extremelylonely individuals.Perhaps one can be lonely

because of his or her ability tolove. Loneliness and love play outas Yates’ recurrent, distressful, yetbeautiful, themes in“Revolutionary Road” in order totell the human condition.

By Yun Ji NamStaff Writer

April and Frank, the leadingcharacters in Richard Yates’“Revolutionary Road,” are twopassionate individuals, full of bothpositive and negative emotions.Despite the fact that they deeplylove each other, they hurl insultsat each other every day. They arenot the happiest couple, as theyare constantly pressured by therigid suburban society in the1950s. Yates discusses the chronicstress, anxiety and paranoia thatfeeds that conformity in his novel,“Revolutionary Road.”April and Frank desire to find

who they really are, and claim the

If cherry blossomsOne day ceased to existIn this world of ours,Perhaps our hearts in springMay know some tranquility.-Ariwara no Narihira, (825-880)

What is more poetic than thetransience of beauty? Many of uswill be surprised when we discov-er that there is a celebration inJapan devoted specifically tohonor the ethereal elegance of thecherry blossom – sakura – in fullbloom. Truly, hundreds of blos-soming trees is a scene worthy ofits own holiday. Today, we willtalk about Hanami – JapaneseCherry Blossom Celebration.Recognition of the first blos-

soms (the term hanami) dates backto the Nara period (710-794), whenit was the plum blossoms – ume –that were celebrated. The customthat persists today as cherry blos-som admiration gained popularityin the Heian period (794-1185) asan exclusive event for the Imperialcourt. Hanami literally means "toview flowers" (hana – flower; mi –look). The aristocrats enjoyeddrinks and food under the blos-soming trees while composingpoems – waka and tanka (TheJapan Times). Hanami is an impor-tant element in Japanese literatureof the Heian period. It was praisedin “The Tale of Genji,” a novel by acourt lady, Murasaki Shikibu,which describes the adventuresand spiritual struggles of a perfecthero – Genji, and depicts Hanamias a center metaphor for courageand transience of love.The Japanese cherry blooms for

a very short time, two to three dayson average. Its beauty is simpleand evanescent, which is why ithas been praised in Japanese poet-ry for centuries. Flowers fade leav-ing a memory, which is put in apoem with a swift movement ofbrush. Japanese poems share that

International CelebrationsHanami – Japanese Cherry Blossom Celebration

concept of tranquil grace: very fewwords that are constructed totranslate a metaphor with the pre-cision of blade and the serenity ofa falling petal.So what is Hanami? Ms.

Nanako Sato, an MSU internation-al student from Japan, describes itas a "picnic under cherry blossomtrees," which is shared with familymembers, friends and colleagues.People enjoy each other’s compa-ny, share food prepared in tradi-tional Japanese style in a lunchbox- bento; play card and boardgames; drink tea and sake (tradi-tional Japanese alcoholic beverage,rice wine); have fun and enjoy thefirst flowers of the year. Sato saysthat Hanami is something thatindividuals of all ages and back-grounds enjoy; people try to takeadvantage of the good weather onthe weekend to embrace the beau-tiful scenery. Sato emphasizes thepopularity of Hanami at nighttimesince many people believe thatcherry blossoms are especiallybeautiful then.The nighttime Hanami is called

yozakura (yo - night; zakura orsakura - cherry blossom). At theend of the Heian period, Hanamispread from the royal court to thesamurai society (The JapanTimes). The time when the cherrytrees would start blooming eachyear was a sign of the start of theagricultural season. People heldparties under the blossomingtrees, commonly at night, at whichthe sake and some food offeringswere given to the kami, a sacred

spirit that is believed to live insidethe cherry blossom tree.Sakura is more than just a

flower to Japanese people. It is aNational symbol, printed insidepassports and on official docu-ments, on coins and stamps. Thecherry blossom flower is a motif inceramics, in traditional gowns(kimono), in interior design, inaccessories and in art. The tree isoriginally from the mountain areasof Japan, resistant to a harsh cli-mate with winds and cold winters.Over time, the trees began"migrating" down from the moun-tains: "people dug up saplings andplanted (them) to beautify" the vil-lages, temples, gardens and theroyal palace. As the capital of Japanhas been moved to Kyoto fromNara, the cherry trees became "sym-bols of divine authority and militarymight" (The Japan Times). The treeswere guarded as treasures of imperi-al significance. In the Edo period(Edo – modern Tokyo, 1603-1868),quickly falling flowers of cherryblossoms became a symbol of the"yamato-damashii value of sacrific-ing one's life for one'scountry"(Daily Yomiuri). Sakurastill symbolizes elegance, courage,loyalty, purity and the ephemeralnature of human life. The beautifulcherry blossom flower dies quickly,meaning that human life is beauti-ful, albeit short. It is an honor to giveyour life, and fall like a flower on thebattlefield.Hanami is never done alone. It is

a holiday that promotes unity – withnature, history, family and Japanese

national identity itself. YoshimiNagamine from the Daily Yomiuri(Tokyo) remarks that "(the)Japanese are not attracted to treesthat put out large flowers. Rather,they love the small flowers thatbloom in the dense mass." It is ananalogy of the western proverb thatone twig is easily broken, but a bun-dle is hard to break. Cherry blossomitself is a symbol of unity inHanami.Every year, the Japan Weather

Association releases CherryBlossom Front information with thefull bloom forecasts across Japan.The first blossoms appear inOkinawa – the most southern islandof the Japanese archipelago, as earlyas January (January 15-21, 2016);then the "Sakura Front" moves northto mainland Japan starting withKagoshima Prefecture (March 21-27,2016), and ending with Aomori pre-fecture (April 14-20, 2016). The lastplace to open up flowers isHokkaido, the Northern island ofJapan, with a major city – Sapporo(April 22-29).Today, Japanese cherry blossom

trees are blooming in many differ-ent countries. As a gift to markfriendship between the U.S. andJapan, the Land of the Rising Sunpresented Washington, D.C. with3,000 sakura trees in 1912 (NationalCherry Blossom Festival). Local

communities enjoy picnics and festi-vals associated when the cherrytrees bloom every year inWashington, D.C. and several othercities in the U.S.You don’t have to be Japanese to

appreciate the simple beauty oftransient flowers. Soon, MSU’s cam-pus will enjoy the first blooms aswell, so take a moment to stop andsmell the flowers.References:National Cherry Blossom

Tips and tricks when preparing for final examsBy Delee Sacker

Senior Nursing StudentSchool can be demanding on the

mind and the body. It is both physi-cally and mentally draining, and“cramming for exams” can make itworse. Our bodies are made tomove, and sitting for hours on endcan sometimes be more exhaustingthan actually moving. Our necks getsore from looking down at a book,our eyes are tired from staring at acomputer screen, and we have usual-ly been eating some kind of junkfood to break up the monotony andstay awake.Finals are rapidly approaching

and, although you have been dili-gently studying all semester, youmay still feel unprepared for theupcoming test of your knowledge.We are encouraged to treat our col-lege classes as if they were a high-priority job. Indeed, on many formswe are able to list full-time student asour job title.It is true that if you spend every

day from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. on yourcoursework, you will succeed inyour field of choice. However, is thatrealistic for every college student?Other priorities compete to take theplace of school. Some are worthy,some are not! Family, work, andactivities are all worthy priorities.Partying, sleeping, vacationing, andYouTube videos may not be priority,but still take up their share of time.As much as you may regret some ofyour choices, the question becomes,“What can we do about it now?” Asthe deadline looms, here are a fewfacts to help you get the most out ofyour studying and still maintainyour sanity and health at the end ofthe semester.·Take small little breaks through-

out your study time to give yourbrain the ability to refocus on thecontent (Nauert, 2015). Walk, stretch,or get a drink, but do not checkFacebook. Many study sessions havebeen thwarted by that black hole.·Eat food that fuels your body,

but don’t eat large meals when youare studying. Large amounts of foodrequire your body to concentrate ondigestion instead of on learning. Tryhealthy snacks throughout your

study time to provide consistentenergy. Fruit, vegetables, nuts andcheese are all great snacking options.Chips and fast food do not providethe necessary vitamins and mineralsto keep you healthy or awake(Harmer, 2013). ·Stress wears down your immune

system and makes it harder to havethe energy to focus and study.Supplements can give you a boost.Vitamin A, Vitamin C, Vitamin D,and B-vitamin complex can helpimprove your immunity. These canhelp you stay healthy, but remem-ber, more is not always better and besure to take the recommendedamount (Mora, Iwata, & vonAndrian, 2008)·Use technology to your benefit.

Does your instructor offer online lec-tures? Download them and listenwhile you are driving. If your pub-lishers offer an oral version of yourtextbook, play it while you followalong in your book. If these optionsaren’t available, read your textbooksout loud and record yourself. Usethese resources to listen to yourmaterial while you are walkingaround. Not only will you be study-ing, but you will be making yourselfhealthier through exercise.·Choose a study spot without

interruptions, but don’t always pickthe same place. Try to mix it up,because a different environment canimprove retention by making thebrain associate the same informationwith different places. Recallimproves because the brain has dif-ferent memories to get to the infor-mation (Carey, 2010).·If you like to study in a group,

find friends who are more motivatedto study than you are. This increasesthe chance you will actually study.Do not pick friends who are going todistract you. There will be time forthem later. You need to use yourtime wisely to decrease mentalstress. Remember to incorporate dif-ferent leaning styles, such as usingyour class notes to make an outline,or flashcards. Take turns presentinginformation to each other. Onceagain, changing things up improvesretention (Carey, 2010). ·Studying is a mind game. Your

mental health is as important as yourphysical health. Focus on the posi-tive instead of on the looming dead-line. Build yourself up. Congratulateyourself for studying without check-ing Facebook. Even better, don’tbring your phone along and preventyourself from wasting precious time(Grohol, 2013).·Sleep is another important aspect

of studying. It is hard to choose tosleep when you feel you need to becramming information, but sleepallows your brain to function at anoptimal level. You will study moreefficiently and absorb the informa-tion faster because your brain is notworn out (Mercola, 2012).·Remember to drink water! You

need to keep yourself hydrated tokeep your body and brain function-ing at their ideal level. (Gowin, 2012).As you fit as much information in

your brain in the healthiest way pos-sible, remember this for now andnext semester, and try to make week-ly studying your priority.ReferencesCarey, B. (2010). Forget what you
