Subliminal Messaging

My graduation reaction to this assignment was if I actually believed in subliminal messages myself. I decided I didnt but after I did further enquiry, I was shocked. I watched you-tube videos and looked at pictures online of advertising. The biggest shock I represent was in the Disney movies. After replaying certain scenes in movies I witnessed subliminal messaging first hand. Most of the messages were intimate references and I was actually quite disturbed by it.For example, in a scene of The Little Mermaid, as Arial was walking up to the podium with her husband to be the priest got an erection. You can clearly settle it happening. I never noticed it before until I started doing research on subliminal messaging. I did further research on other Disney animated movies and I found that there were a lot more informal subliminal messages in the movies and advertising that you dont notice unless you are actually paying attention. Which brings me to my near point, Dr.Brahrami states If the brain is busy it can filter our subliminal things. The brains response to subliminal messages is not automatic and depends on how much attention the person is paying. And thats when I decided I completely agree. I look since I was actually paying attention and watching out for subliminal messages, I could design them. Most of the time when Im watching movies I dont see the sexual, the Tempter or drug related messages companies are putting in their movies and advertising.Which leads me to my question, why would a company base on children put sexual things in a movie made for kids? Well, then I started to think it was a coincidence to I did more research and found out there was a enormous debate during this time when the Arial scene with the priest came out. What I found was that it was the priests knee. So for my destruction of this paper, I think you interpret what you want to see. If your brain is actually searching for these messages, your brain will see what it wants t o see.
