Blog #13: Post Modern Prometheus

In the the movie Post Modern Prometheus, there were many strange but very interesting things that happened. First of all, it reminded me very much of not only the Frankenstein Complex, but also Xenophobia in a way because of our fear of what is different. You could see the fear and the bias that stuck with people simply because of an idea being embedded into one person's head. The terror that grew inside of the people of the thought of a monster coming into their houses was astonishing as soon as one person planted the idea. It spread like a poison through people and woman feared that they were impregnated with a monster, a demon, or an non-human creature. In the end however, he turned out to be very human. He was ridiculed and looked down upon by the town simply because his features did not follow the norms of society. It kind of makes a person step back for a moment and realize that we see it everyday in the hallways of our very own school. There is ridicule and mockery everywhere because of people's differences. We see it in history too; where one idea became a disaster because of fear.
