9/27/12


Today all class we watched God Grew Tired Of Us. It is such a good movie. The video part we watched was about how the United States government picked a bunch of the Lost Boys and relocated them to America. The first part of it followed Panther and Daniel. They were relocated in Pittsburg PA. The video follows them and a group of other people and their new understanding of America.  They go to the super market with no understanding what so ever what most of the food is and how to cook it or anything. They are then assigned to their 4 person apartment and are introduced to all the machinery      (blenders, toilets, alarm clock, refrigerators…etc.). After seeing them get settled in Pittsburgh the video follows John. John is relocated in New York and he also is new and inexperienced with the food and the machinery. As he is talking to the camera the mystery of why the video is called God Grew Tired Of Us. John explains how he felt that after he and his people were ran out of Sudan by the Muslims that he felt God just grew tired of them and forgot about them. Overall the video was amazing and inspiring and the same time it was sad and heart breaking.
