Compare & Contrast - Kubrick and Luhrmann

Stanley Kubrick’s film style is quiet raw that usually includes iconic horror imagery mixed with incisive political messages (Ferrari, 2019). This usually involves him using slow camera movements to create intensity within his scenes. This can be seen within the film The Shining directed by Stanley Kubrick where there is an Overlook POV shot that stalking Danny through the empty hallways. (Dunham, 2019).

Curiosity

What are you most curious about? Were you a curious child and adolescent?

How things work in the universe. I have always been curious even when I was a child and adolescent.How has your curiosity been affected growing up? If it has changed over time, why is that?
Just like when I was little, I would always be asking question about everything happening and I would just annoy the hell out of everyone around me.
How does curiosity play out across the different domains of your life – family, socializing, work, school?
Curiosity plays a big role in my school life as I am constantly questioning the things that I do and the work I receive, which is the way I love learning. The same thing goes for socializing, with the terms I don't understand my friends find me questioning them, asking what they are.

Love of Learning

What areas of learning (factual knowledge, people, skills, philosophy, or spirituality) do you find most interesting? What areas of learning do you find least interesting?
The area's I enjoy most is within learning new skills and learning about factual knowledge. As normally I would find myself on youtube just watching video's on how to do stuff and just watching random videos about stuff. The area I hate learning in is religious ideas as I believe in no religion.
What is it that you love about learning?The idea that there is an endless amount of things you can learn.
How does the breadth and depth of your knowledge affect your relationships, from people recently met to people who are close to you?
The knowledge I have limits to the friends I have. I find it a lot easier to engage them if they share the 
same knowledge that I do, this limits me to the friends as I find it hard to befriend people who are much different to me

Teamwork

What is most gratifying to you about being part of a team?
Winning as a team, and that it's a team effort whereas doing things solo is boring.
How do you feel and act when you carry more than your fair share of the weight for a team?
I feel fine as I'm used to doing the majority of the works, I just enjoy doing the work as I like to keep busy instead of doing nothing.
How does teamwork extend into your personal life; for example, parenting, family, partner, friendship?
Places I show teamwork most is within my friendships at school, this is most likely I can connect with them easier. I find it hard to have teamwork with my family as is unable to understand me.
