I watched K-19 this weekend on Netflix and found the imagery very dramatic and somewhat graphic. The film was a true story and evoked many emotions about the trama that happened during the Cold War. The film unfolded a story of a Russian Captain named Captain Alexi Vostrikov who was ordered to take command of the nuclear missile submarine K-19. The men stugled to stabilize the nuclear weapon and was forced to stay abord and follow through with the Soviet Navy's plans.
After being exposed to such traumatic scenes I felt very moved and sensitive to the issues of the war. I thought about it again later the next day and again that night. It amazes me to see how media can affect me by continually coming up in my mind after watching a movie. It reminds me of when I was a teenager and thought that I was evincible. I thought that nothing would effect me, although as an adult a drama like K-19 will enter my mind and stay there for a while. This makes me realize the importance of allowing good, clean and informational media into our lives and avoid media that will create a negative impact on us.

Wow, sounds intense!
