Movie 3 & 4

The two movies that I watched for this blog post were about diamond jewelry and a Buffalo Bill Wild West Revolver. These two artifacts are very different from each other however you could look at them both as accessories. The diamond jewelry could be an accessory for a girl while a gun or revolver is an "accessory" to a police officer which is part of their uniform. Another similarity between the two movies is their explanations of how both of these products influence consumers today whether it is a positive or negative outlook.

The diamond video explained how diamonds were cut and shaped to make the articles that we wear on our neck, ears, and wrists. It also discussed how media practices like billboards and TV commercials influence consumers that this type of jewelry is rare means something sentimental when wearing it. Consumers also feel that a diamond ring for example is symbol that represents marriage and love which forces consumers like us to purchase an expensive diamond for that special someone. This is also a phenomenon that has spread across to different cultures.

The history of the Wild West revolver gun was explained in the beginning of the second movie. It went on to how it became so popular and how models of new revolver guns are based off of the original revolver. New companies have went on to design and develop their new and improved products and have attracted consumers. Another interesting topic of the movie was how today in our world it is frowned upon to some to have it be legal to carry an armed weapon on you. This is a controversy that we still deal with today and it was suiting to include it in this movie.
