Wake me up when September ends- Green Day

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KjNJmwwf7QA

1.       Who created this message?

The message was created by Green Day and the song was written by Billie Joe Armstrong, the vocalist of the band.

2.       What creative techniques are used to attract my attention?

The creative techniques used to attract my attention were the story of the couple, a lot of drama and strong scenes that shows the cruelty in the wars. Also, the melody of the song begins very emotional and melancholy and it ends very loud to show the change in the story.

3.       How might different people understand this message differently?

I think there are many people who don’t understand how much you can lose in a war. I mean, it’s not just lose the war, is more than that. In the video, the protagonist took a risk for his country, but he knew that he could die and with that, lose the love of his life. Many people understand the message like something necessary for the nation, but they can’t see that is a risk to their lifes and affect other lifes too.

4.       What values, lifestyles and points of view are represented in, or omitted from, this message?

Basically, I think in this message are represented love, loyalty and hope. However the most important point of view is “say no to the war” because is just damage for all of us.

5.       Why is this message being sent?

This message is being sent to create conscious about our ideologies and make us think about if we really want a world like this.
