Jagoda u Supermarketu

The movie we have most recently finished watching in class is titled Jagoda u Supermarketu. The movie is about a new supermarket in Belgrade called Yugo-America market. One day after the grand- opening of the new supermarket, a crazed man, enters the supermarket with a gun and takes several hostages. His claim for doing this was injustice after his grandmother was heckled for only wanting to buy strawberries ( the woman that heckled his grandmother is the main character). After a several hours of standoff between police and the hostage taker, the cashier and the hostage taker begin to have some sort of relationship. Although the hostage taker, Marko, is still unaware that jagoda, the cashier, is the one that heckled his grandmother. After their relationship kicks off, a man breaks in and attempts to kill Marko and take Jagoda away. At the same time, the police decide to storm the supermarket and they capture Marko. At this point, Jagoda admits that she was the one that heckled his grandmother. After this confession, Marko seems to understand and the movie ends with both of them exiting the supermarket together.

Nikola Tesla Movie Reflection

The movie that we have just finished watching in class today was titled, Nikola Tesla. This movie, the second one we have been able to watch this year, was about the life of the Serbian Scientist, Nikola Tesla. The movie goes over his life from when he first came to America, to working for Edison and so on. The movie ends just when Tesla discovers that he could harness the natural energy on earth, and give to the world. This would be environmentally healthy and would be limitless. But, the man financing him, J.P Morgan, being a business man, will not support the idea since it'll make his company and himself lose money. Tesla is confused as to why Morgan wouldn't understand that he could change the world. The movie depicts that Tesla spent much of the later years of his life wondering why Morgan wouldn't contact him
