“There is no Sleepy Hollow on the Internet, no peaceful spot where contemplativeness can work its restorative magic. There is only the endless, mesmerizing buzz of the urban street.” Nicholas Carr, from The Shallows: What the Internet is Doing to Our Brains (New York: Norton, 2010)

The Movie
We watched a movie in class with Johnny Depp in it. In the movie he was moving to accept a job from a company. What crossed my mind while watching this film was how the different shots were not as appleasing to me as some others I have seen. I then thought that people from different places/backrounds are going to have different experiences in different types of nature. In the movie it seemed as Johnny Depp did not find the west very aesthetically pleasing. I felt this was becuase he was from the city. May be someone from the west might have the same feeling if they were to move to the city.

i think that he might have just had a different look on the west he might have saw beauty in the west but since he wasn't accustomed to it he thought the city was better. there is beauty in everything we just have to find it.
