There are several different Genres of movies I love to watch. In my opinion; drama, comedy, action, romantic and horror are the most popular widespread. I personally enjoy comedy and suspense the most. I love to watch comical movies because I love to laugh. Suspense is actually a genre within a genre but it makes a great difference in the impact it has on the viewers of the film. Other genres such as horror, sci-fi, action and drama can also be of the suspense genre as well, in those cases: due to the clever conventions used in a suspense filled movie, the results are always successful. Suspense is a creative way to draw a viewer’s attention significantly because the viewer understands that in a suspense movie, every little detail count. Therefore they don’t want to miss a beat of the movie. In most cases suspense can also be known as a mystery. Sometimes the mystery seems so hard to solve or figure out but in the end the outcome appears to have been mockingly obvious. On the other hand, many producers like to give there mystery a dramatic twist that wasn’t expected at all during the climax. That causes for the audience to be shocked but most of the time appeal to them in a more meaningful way. I know from experience that watching a suspenseful movie is quite interesting because it really makes you think hard about what’s gong on in the plot or what could be going on that you don’t directly see. The climax is always when the truth comes out. It’s such a great feeling at that point. That’s the point that a suspense movie makes you long for and I love it!

His Eye is on the Sparrow

"His Eye is on the Sparrow" is a short song that has been sang in African-American churches for several years now, that plays a major role in a christians life because the lyrics are quite uplifting. When I feel discouraged I find myself singing it and I tend to feel alot better after I think about what the lyrics of this song prevail. The song only consists of one verse and a repeating course which have been sang by a many people from your average church lady, to famous singers in a wide variety of their own unique versions. My favorite version was performed by Lauren Hill in the movie "Sister Act". I do not know who wrote the original version of this song but I love it! I will give you my interpretation of the song line by line.

His Eye is on the Sparrow

"Why should I feel discouraged?"
Even though there are plenty of disapointing things going on in my life, I refuse to let them discourage me.

"And why should the shadows come?"
Why would I acknowledge the darkness and sadness that is trying to take over my life?

"Why should my heart feel lonely and long for heaven and home?"
Even though it may seem like I dont have many people in this world to support me, I still dont have to believe I am lonely because I know that my father in heaven is with me. Yet, that doesnt mean I need to leave this earth jus yet to be with him.

"When Jesus is my portion; a constant friend is he..."
Jesus is a very good friend because of all the wonderful things he does for me. That alone is just enough.

"His eye is on the sparrow, and I kno he watches...
I know he watches..... I know he watches me."
He is costantly watching over me no matter what, I know this for sure.

"I sing because Im happy."
My joy causes me to sing out about it.

"I sing because I am free."
Im so greatful for my freedom that I will exercise my freedom of speech and sing about that as well.

"His eye is on the sparrow, and I know he watches over me."
I know he is constantly watching over me.

"He watches over me..."
Im still re assured that he watches over me always.

"I know he watches me."
He has always been watching me and always will be.

The song basically is repeated in the singers own rhythem and mechanics. I dont care how it's sang, the lyrics are what will always touch my heart.
