Based on a true story

In 2005, Hurricane Katrina hit the coast of New Orleans, leaving 80% of the city underwater, almost two thousand dead people and thousands of families without homes.

In seminar class we watched a movie about this lamentable event. It's a short movie called "Glory at the Sea".

The movie is narrated by a child and it's about a guy who is suddently pulled out from the bottom of the sea and since that moment he starts trying to go back into the water to reunite with his loved one. At the same time, everyone in the town joined him to reunite with their loved ones.

You can watch it here.

It isn't very important that you understand all the movie because you can define the end just as you got it.

In the movie I understood something like the story of some ghosts of New Orleans. They tried to find the way to reunite with the people that they love.

For me it was a happy ending despite the fact that they were ghosts; they did what they wanted. Except for the reverend, he just was so attached to his church that when he lost it, he just lost everything.

Conclusion of the presentation

We were talking and deepening about the issues between Obedience and Authority at Seminar classes in recent weeks and made a presentation about this topic in our class group.
We made difference between the "power" of the authority and the "captivity" of the obedience. It was a pretty good experience working that way because we realized that the authority is almost everywhere and the obedience isn't always fallowing it. Also we could analyze a cultural and personal point of view about the material we covered.

At the time that I been working on it, my ideas about my way to follow rules were changing. Maybe it was because I've never think so deeply about it.
Before we started to talk about this topic, in my group, we started to see some defects in our way to see the things. We started to talk and the ideas just came. It was interesting because everyone has another point of view. So that was the "special thing" in our presentation.
