The Omen

Svendsen believes that we can all practice to control our fears. We may not be able to fully master them but we will become more alert. Also, learn how to react to certain things that go on. In the movie The Omen, the fear of the mother was constantly tested. Her son was constantly attacking her but she controlled her fear, because that was her son and she did not want to believe that he would hurt her. The dad was a little more careful because when he was scared he did not attempt to cover it up but, he reacted on the spot. Svendsen believes that we should go beyond fear. In the movie The Omen fear was presented through the entire movie. I believe that true fear cannot be controlled. Because it is usually something that you do not see coming, so u cannot prepare for it. Everyone's fear is shaped because of their own personal experiences that have experienced. No one has the same exact fearSvendsen says that we a limited ability to control our fear, but we can only practice to be more prepared for things we fear. I believe in the Omen the dad presented this best because of how he was very thoughtful in each situation. He did not react how i expected him to in certain situations. But it seem like he anticipates his reactions.

  1. Watching The Omen, I noticed that we're never really afraid of anything because we know too much already. Similarly to Blair Witch Project we're really just watching other people who are afraid. I wonder if, without an element of shock, we can actually feel fear?
