After watching 50 First Dates, we have seen how TOK is representative in Hollywood.
What I would like form you are more examples of TOK in pop culture!
Find a movie, television show, song, etc. that showcases one or more WOK/AOK that we have discussed.
Put a link to the resource or information about the resource, and a description of how it relates to a TOK topic.
Due by April 1, at 11:59pm.

I chose the movie Blood Diamond for the examples of the AOK. The movie uses alot of emotion that makes a big part of the story. The father hides the diamond in hope of finding it later with his family. Because he thinks he will become rich. This decision came from his emotions because he was sick of working for other people. Another AOK is memory. The boy that was kidnapped from his family was a good boy and had a good future. But he spent so much time with the bad people that made him forget who is father and family was. In the movie he almost kills his father because he forgot who he was. en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blood_Diamond_%28film%29 |

I chose the movie memnto which relates to memory or to be precise, memory loss. Leonard (Guy Pearce) is tracking down the man who raped and murdered his wife. The difficulty, however, of locating his wife's killer is compounded by the fact that he suffers from a rare, untreatable form of memory loss. Although he can recall details of life before his accident, Leonard cannot remember what happened fifteen minutes ago, where he's going, or why. m.imdb.com/title/tt0209144/ |

I choose this soccer match because it is the biggest match in the planet and it deals with emotion. More than 700 millon people watch that game. Inside the stadium it is between Manchester player against Liverpool players. Outside the stadium it is between machester fan against Liverpool fan. Whoever wins will make fun of the other. youtu.be/M-Jt9kDbhk4 |

I choose this movie because it has a good relation to TOK. This movie talks about that a women makes an accident and she lost her memory. After this accident she didn't remmeber her husband. I choose this movie because it shows how memory is important and how is the ways to get your memory back if you lose it. www.sonypictures.com/movies/thevow/ |

I chose the movie Trance because its related to what we're talking about in TOK. An auctioneer of art is part of a plan to steal a painting. He gets hit in the head and doesnt remember where the painting is. And seeks someone to help him. This movie will help with what we're studying, memory. m.imdb.com/title/tt1924429/ |

m.imdb.com/title/tt1606389/ "The Vow" is very similar to the movie we watched in class. Just like the movie we watched it deals with bothe emotion and memory. It talks about a couple who after they got married had a car accident. After that the wife lost her memory and forgot about her husband.
