99 Homes Movie review Rap

Rap

99 Homes is a movie 

about a man who was evicted 

from his home

So he tried to get some money

of his own

he was offered employment

by his evictor

so he worked with him

In the system of greed he falls

He evicted people

then in the end

became arrested 

to a crime he admitted

While the boss carried on

with his multi-million endeavor

profiting from people's misfortune

Let's put myself as the director

let's recreate the main character's role

after all this is a movie

that we can recreate instantly

Movies can be a tool

for change to occur that is best for all

we act out

the changes we see 

then it becomes reality

Let's give the main character

 a free home

everyone a monthly income

that they don't have to work for

plus a job in construction

for the characters

if they need more

His son investigates 

how one builds a structure

his mom expresses herself 

and does what is best for all

While the real estate mogul

forgives himself

 changes his ways

using tools that work

Living income is the key

The lesson is clear

If we abuse our share

we will all lose

See what is possible 

a movie can be a tool

when you stand 

for what is best for all

Plot

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/99_Homes

Recently unemployed single father Dennis Nash, a construction worker in Orlando, Florida, is evicted together with his mother Lynn, a hairdresser, and young son Connor from the foreclosed home they share. Callous real estate operator Rick Carver is in charge of the eviction, and police officers who provide the enforcement call him "boss." Dennis and his family move into a shabby cramped motel room. Dennis goes to Rick's office and tries to take back his tools stolen by Rick's men. Rick sees the confrontation and is impressed by Dennis' gumption. He offers Dennis work as a repairman at his properties and Dennis accepts. Dennis soon becomes Rick's assistant, helping to carry out evictions himself and set up real estate schemes that exploit government and banking rules to the disadvantage of struggling home owners. He starts accepting large payments of money (in exchange for the work he is performing for Mr. Carver) and dips into the glamorous lifestyle in which Rick indulges.

Almost as soon as he begins working for Mr. Carver, Dennis tells him to keep the cheques he offers (as payment for the work he performs for the real estate broker) in order for him to one day soon buy back the house he was evicted from by Mr. Carver but Rick tells him to keep his money for now since it is not enough anyway.

An evicted home owner living in the same motel as Dennis and his family recognizes and threatens him. Dennis reacts by making a deal with Rick to buy back his family's old house, but the legal process prevents them from moving in immediately, so he decides to get his son out of the motel room immediately by selling the family home and buying a much more luxurious home instead.

When Dennis brings his mother and son to the luxurious house and informs them he bought it and sold their old house so they could get out of the motel room immediately, his mother doesn't believe at first that he has bought the house. Then Dennis' mother is shocked by the loss of their long-time home and is repulsed as she realizes Dennis got his new-found wealth by helping him victimize honest homeowners who have financial problems. Even Dennis' son is not happy with the arrangement. Lynn and Connor leave Dennis to stay with her brother.

Rick puts together a multi-million dollar real estate deal, but it is jeopardized by a legal case brought by a home owner he is trying to evict. Dennis and the home owner were friendly acquaintances, but the man turned hostile toward Dennis when he saw him become part of Rick's eviction business. Dennis obeys Rick's order to deliver a forged document to court that defeats the home owner's legal case. When police try to evict the home owner, the distraught man fires a rifle at them. Fearing that the man, who has a wife and two children, will likely be killed in a shootout, Dennis confesses aloud at the scene to his complicity in delivering the forged paperwork. The home owner surrenders and Dennis is also arrested, but the well-connected Rick, standing in the background, is not.

What is Self-forgiveness?

It is the process by which an individual forgives oneself for accepting and allowing self to separate from objective reality, releasing positive and negative value judgments such as good or bad, right or wrong, positive or negative - as subjective interpretations of reality regarding something or someone that leads to stability as breath. 

Forgiving Myself In Writing:

I forgive myself that I have accepted and allowed myself to believe that if i watch a movie in the theatre, i have to buy something like popcorn etc.even when i already ate and eat with the one i am with while watching, otherwise the experience will not be enjoyable and it will defeat the purpose of going there - which is to be entertained, rather than looking at what nutrition the body can get from the popcorn for example (or any food item) and having a log, know what food gives me a stable blood glucose so that i can assist the body and be able to eat with commonsense and use food to give the body nourishment that it needs.

Rewriting My Life:

I commit myself to when i see myself believe that i have to buy and eat  popcorn even when i already ate for my husband and I to be entertained when watching the movie - I stop, breathe and realize that I have to use food  according to what it is - which is a substance used as a source of nourishment.

I realize that i am wanting entertainment because i connected it with a memory of me being entertained before and therefore have defined it within bias - where i connected it to a memory of when my great grandmother gave me a coconut sweet while playing around the house which i also connected to the  fear of not being entertained by food, people, event or any external stimulant within a subjective view of reality - within bias.

I commit myself to rather than seek being entertained by the the taste of food and the movies, see food objectively and use it for what it is intended for.

Word Web:

Food 
Any solid substance (as opposed to liquid) that is used as a source of nourishment

I commit myself to make sure i am clear within myself before i say or write the word ' food'.

I commit myself to assist in making a world that truly honors life so all can get the basic necessities to survive - including food to help the body survive optimally.

Redefining The Word 'Media'

The Word 'Media'

The Mind meaning of the word :
1. Sounding The Word Within my Mind:

ME as the mass communication industry D-oing things from the starting point of self- I-nterest as A-ll becomes compromised

I am correcting myself within my use of this word and redefining the word, as i have used this word within my own interpretation of the word 'media' within my mind, where i was directed by my feelings and emotions - so that i used it in a biased way disregarding the real meaning of the word - the real essence of the word -used to express who we are in this physical existence.

2. Sounding the Word as equal to my expression:
ME as the mass communication industry D -oing what i do from the starting point of I  as -A-ll

Redefinition

Dictionary meaning, as commonly used:

(the media) the mass communication industry, esp. newspaper, television and radio; journalists and other related professionals collectively

- Word Web

This is a limited definition so i am going to redefine this by adding some perspective on the function of the media in this world:

The mass communication industry - the newspaper, television and radio, journalists and other related professionals collectively working for what is best for all.

How can we use the media for what is best for all?

The media uses words to communicate what is happening around us through written and spoken words.

Money is being made from inflating reality or interpreting reality when we write or speak about what we observe and money is being made from this.

We can see that the media capitalizes on conflict and friction between groups - comparing one to another and determining who wins and who loses.

In the entertainment industry, the media gives us an inflated view of ourselves within what is beautiful and ugly which forms the basis of our beliefs which we live based on what is good or bad, positive or negative, right or wrong according to how it is presented on tv and in the movies rather than the fact that we al came from the dust of the earth - pointing to the oneness and equality of Life..

The driving force in the media is money and profit -inflating reality in favor of its owners within self-interest rather than using the media to write about and speak about what is really going on in our environment- exposing the ills/evils in society and finding a solution that will be best for all.

One of the role media can play is assisting in creating a world where all can live a dignified life - including giving the poor a Basic/Living Income so we can create a balance in the ecosystem of money and restore economic balance in society.

Philippines: How Porn and Prostitution Was Created Part 1 Sex, Pleasure and Money

What is fuelling the desire for porn?

Where i grew up, talking about sex openly was a taboo.

'Suppression'?

I was told to close my legs when i sit on a chair. I was told not to laugh boisterously because it was not feminine to do so.

Being a 'Filipina' means i cannot tell a male i like him, i cannot smoke, i cannot have sex before marriage etc.. That was the definition i was given which i lived as if i cannot redefine a word and live it as equal to who i really am - a female equal to a male - as my expression.

I was told to be obedient. I was told male asks the females out and so i learned to wait to be asked by males. I was told not to be forward - to be 'reserved' in my ways which i later found out is 'suppression'.

When i went to College in the city and lived with relatives,  i enrolled in a Catholic College for girls. Right beside this all girl's college is an all boy's college. I was about 17 yrs old at that time.

What i noticed was that there was this growing desire within me to know and experience sex with the opposite sex. My girl friends and i talked about the parties in the nearby boy's school. The perceived separation from the boys created fear of not having a relationship with the opposite sex so the desire intensified fueled by the fear. The fear of losing fueling the desire to win using sex, relationships and money.

There are a lot of movies and tv shows that depict 'courtship games' that culminate to 'love relationships', marriage and kids - most of which came from the US, impulsing us to buy tickets to the movies which equates to more money to produce films so there's more money and profit for the corporation and in terms of pornographic films, more money for the sex industry.

But what interested me at that time was how these characters look like they are enjoying kissing each other as depicted by their behaviors in the movie'. I 'interpreted' their body language as showing lots of pleasure, that i have not seen in ordinary life. I interpreted their words are conveying happiness and 'pleasure'. I imagined within my mind the 'multiple happiness' i will get after the kiss. My interest back then was 'how to experience the same pleasure' not realizing that this is an interpretation of what i see and not what is really what physical interaction was about. I did not see that this is me wanting the 'moreness' of me through physical interaction to be able to win in a world where i can loose as survival is not guaranteed.

Porn magazines was labelled as 'bad' and we were told not to touch those.

The question remains, why can't i not learn about them?

The mechanics of physical interaction between the male and the female was hidden and was labelled 'bad' which does not match what i observed. The movies are depicting kissing and physical interaction in bed between 2 people as a source of 'pleasure'. I later found out that this was deliberate to stimulate sexual stimulation for profit.

But what's fueling this desire for 'pleasure'?

I believed at that time that this desire = me as who i really am. It's not until i was introduced to Self-forgiveness that i realized everything about me is who i have become as the personality - someone who i created within my mind - based from my fear.

The church said it was 'a desire of the flesh and not of the spirit' so sex should not be done without marriage. The problem is that I did not question why the priest is saying this and quoting the bible. I accepted it as true believing that the priest is the authority not realizing that i am the author of my life and that i can direct myself to investigate about what REAL physical interaction is about.

I had my first boyfriend who initiated me to kissing and sex which i judged as less than what i magined within my mind -where i inflated or deflated reality by interpreting it and giving it a value more than or less than what it is based from my own survival - within self-interest.

I got married at a young age with my first boyfriend, pregnant with my first child.

While some would try porn and prostitution to experience sex and pleasure and to express ones sexuality and to transcend the fear of being inferior - or being labeled as 'bad', as what the Asian girl in a documentary i watched did - participating in a 'gang bang' with 250 men to transcend her fear of being inferior to men believing that girls too can have sex with more than one man just like men can have sex with more than one woman, I tried the culturally accepted way - Marriage.

But the starting point is the same isn't it?

Fear of being inferior and desire for pleasure through physical interaction.

Did i create the porn and prostitution industry? If yes, How?

In  my next blog i will explore this topic and write about this.
