Naturalism

            In today’s society, many people think that everything happens for a reason. They believe that it is due to the laws of nature, this is naturalism. They believe these laws control structure and behavior of the universe. A good movie for this is The Grey. The following is going to include why I think it is a good movie for it, some examples and my conclusion.

The reason this movie is so good, is because throughout the movie it has examples of the law of nature taking affect. For instance, the storm in the beginning that is a factor in the plane crash.  Another example, are the wolves. All they are doing is protecting their territory. Two more examples are the cold weather and death. All three of these things are part of naturalism, but the affected the men who were alive differently. For example, the storm that caused the crash. The storm is natural and happens all the time. It was just made the plane crash. After the crash the men had to realize what happened and accept it. Some of them just couldn’t truly accept that they were out there by themselves. Others accepted it and led the group and told them they need to move forward. Then the wolves came in and they were just doing what they do. They were protecting their territory and hunting. They didn’t go for the strongest one first, they went for weakest one of the group every time and waited for the stronger ones to get weaker. The last one is the cold weather. The men had to worry the whole time about freezing to death. They had to keep a fire going during the night just to make it through the night. They also had to keep dry. Getting wet was pretty much writing your own name on your tombstone. The last one is death. We all have to pass away one day. That is the most natural thing and most consistent of them all. In this movie all the men die. Here is a scene from the movie. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=r-sNVhRvOKI. This movie by killing everyone shows that everyone dies sometime in life and there is no escaping it.

            The movie The Grey has man accounts of naturalism. The accounts of naturalism in this movie are the storm, the wolves, the weather, and the men dying. They all great examples and are pretty much controlled by the laws of nature.
