The second research paper idea "Portraying Human Minds in Film is by far my favorite topic. Let me start off by saying that I love watching movies, whether is a documentary or a thriller, I love them all. I am a visual learner and I retain a lot of information this way. I am excited about being able to view the films from a different perspective and for reasons other than trying to be entertained. I am currently still debating between movies "The Notebook" and "A Beautiful Mind". I've seen "The Notebook" before which gives me a better opportunity at not only viewing the surface idea of the film but to analyze it more in depth. I can sort of ignore the obvious. I've never see "A Beautiful Mind", and so I will probably have to take in a lot of information.
