Rise of The Guardians

Hey people of the internet! Today I want to talk about a film I'm crazy obsessed over- Rise of The Guardians. It is SO INCREDIBLE! I LOVE it! SPOILER ALERT.



It's a fantasy adventure film based around the four guardians of the world: Santa Claus (Guardian of Wonder), The Easter Bunny (Guardian of Hope), the Tooth Fairy (Guardian of Memories), Sandman (Guardian of Dreams) and Jack Frost (who later becomes the Guardian of Fun). They've all been chosen by Man in Moon (the moon sends them messages). The movie starts with Jack describing how he was risen from the bottom of a frozen lake by Man in Moon and became a spirit of winter. He also says that he doesn't remember anything before that, doesn't know if he was anyone else before he was chosen. Nobody can see him or hear him because nobody believes that he exists, unlike the rest of the guardians, who can be seen and heard. The story then continues 300 years later. The Boogie Man (also known as Pitch Black, the inflicter of Fear), comes out of the shadows and attacks the Guardians' reigns, one by one. By blocking their use of their headquarters, the guardians won't be able to keep up their jobs, no presents at Christmas, no eggs in Easter, no money under your pillow and only nightmares consume the night. Because of that, the children will stop believing in them, and if the children don't believe, the Guardians lose what they are protecting in the  children, and slowly they fade away. They were close to beating Pitch Black, but Jack Frost (who agreed to help them, even though he doesn't wish to be a guardian and doesn't like the Easter Bunny, and also happens to be the only match for Pitch's power), got distracted. He stumbled across the Boogie Man's lair, and found where he was keeping the Tooth Fairy's helpers (he captured them, and therefore destroyed the Tooth Fairy's power), and also all of the teeth they'd ever collected. Jack found the case in which his own teeth were kept, before he was 
risen from the lake. He couldn't help himself and took it, but he took too long and in the meantime, Pitch had attacked the Guardians, destroyed Easter and lessened the Guardian'  power to almost nothing. Most of the children stopped believing. 
The Guardians' isolated Jack, they said that he'd betrayed them. Jack was then attacked by Pitch Black, but managed to escape with his life, with the help of the only free Mini Fairy, who encourages him to open the case in which his teeth are. By doing so, Jack remembers his old life, 300 years before. He had had a family, a sister, whom he had saved from drowning in the icy lake. He then went looking for the one child who still believed, the very last one, Jamie. He sends Jamie signs to make sure that he doesn't stop believing, he makes it snow in Jamie's room, and Jamie realises that it's Jack Frost. Jamie can see Jack Frost, and his powers (already strong) grow stronger, and the four guardians show up at Jamie's door. Pitch Black starts attacking the Guardians with his Nightmares, bit with some help from Jamie and his friends (who were convinced into believing again), Pitch Black was defeated. Jack Frost found his centre and accepted his role as a Guardian.

Reading over all of this, I notice that I've left out huuuuge chunks of the story. So much more happened! Some of which simply can't be described into words! You guys have GOT to watch this film! Feel free to comment with your thoughts or opinions or send us an email at indigoandart@gmail.com

We are all different

Hey guys! I was filing through the mountain of papers which was my room (exams made it overflow) and i found this blog post I had written at school once. I had meant to post it, as I've meant to post so many other things, but my laziness took over, and for that I deeply apologize. So, here it is:

Different, everybody is different, unique. No one is like the other. Looking at the world around me I see so many familiar faces. We're all supposed to be doing the same thing, we're in the same place but the differences between each and every one of us is undeniable. We're all wearing the same uniform, everyone's hair is pulled back, no jewellery, no make-up, no accessories but we all mark our identities. You can identify everyone's character and personality.  Some are reading a book under their desks, they are the bookworms. My desk buddy constantly hums or taps the desk or pencil or moves her shoulders- she gives off the love for music. I would be able to tell easily, even if she wasn't one of my best friends. You notice people twirling their hair or fixing their skirts or sneaking glances at their pocket mirrors- the fahionistas. There are those who constantly distract the class, always taking or playing around, those who couldn't care less. Then there are those select few who are actually taking notes and paying close attention, they're the ones who truly care and wish to do well. They're the determined ones. People with dried paint on their hands. Those who stick up for others. The loud girls, the shy girls and the teacher's pets. The girls staring out the window- off on cloud nine- are certainly not lacking.
Everyone has their own style, everyone is different. I seem to vary between all of these. I pay attention and take notes, grades mean a lot to me. I always try to look my best and it wouldn't be the first time that i read in class. I love music so I do hum, just not as often as my desk buddy. And of course, everyone who knows me would say that I often space out. I accept these things about myself, they're who I am, but the one thing I wouldn't be able to forgive is trying to distract others. I don't want to be that person and I never will be.
Everyone feels comfortable in their own skin, with their group and inside their comfort zone. We lie in a world where everyone is classified and judged over everything. Separated and rated we all are. But, once we are separated, even though it's an unkind process, we find those who are like us, those with whom we fit in.

Obviously I was at school and extremely bored. Hope you liked it!  -CC
