“Dragon Quest: the Real” Unveil of Detailed Information About the Attraction Three Reasons Why You Can Become a Real Hero 2017 goes beyond “over-the-top” The curtain finally rises on a year that will break through barriers and take you beyond the “over-the-top” 15th anniversary You’re the hero now! “Dragon Quest: The Real” Unveil of detailed information about the attraction Three reasons why you can become a real hero in well-loved world of adventure Open for a limited time only: March 17, 2017 (Fri) to September 3, 2017 (Sun) In 2017, Universal Studios Japan is set to outdo its “over-the-top” 15th anniversary with the new theme of “going beyond ‘over-the-top’!” From March 17 (Fri), USJ will bring you a variety of attractions and pieces of entertainment that go one step beyond. We’d like to share some detailed information about the first installment of this new series of attractions: Dragon Quest: The Real. After its announcement in December of last year, social networking services like Twitter exploded with posts in anticipation, like “What, a tie-in between Universal Studios Japan and Dragon Quest!? I’ve got to go!”, “This is what I’ve been waiting for!”, and “Now I can finally be a hero!”, and there were many posts from people waiting for follow-up information with bated breath as well, such as “I want to know more!” and “I’ve got to get my vacation plans ready when the details come out!”. Please look forward to this emotional experience where you can become a hero and engage in real combat, all in a world of adventure that, so far, you’ve only seen in the games. ◆ The first walk-through real battle attraction in Dragon Quest history Three reasons why you can become a real hero and engage in real battles in this well-loved world of adventure Enjoy a moving experience exclusive to Universal Studios Japan, where you can dive in to a real Dragon Quest world and truly become a hero yourself. 1. You can choose your vocation, grab a weapon and go on an adventure! Guests will choose from Dragon Quest vocations, such as warrior or mage, giving the role their own unique spin with weapon in hand, and cooperate with a party of friends to advance. Within the attraction, the weapons will change to match the features of each person’s vocation, and by casting spells, you can attack monsters using your own abilities. 2. You can explore actual Dungeons, painstakingly reproduced with high quality! On arriving at the castle entrance, guests will receive a certain request from the King, and embark on a world of adventure. Together with their allies, guests will work their way through dungeons , with detailed features like frozen passages, brandishing their weapons at the series of monsters that appear. 3. You can defeat monsters to gain experience points and “level up”! When guests defeat monsters, they will gain experience points and “level up”. By increasing their stats (abilities) and becoming stronger, guests can truly experience the “growth” factor that could be described as Dragon Quest’s real charm, heightening the sense of accomplishment. [Attraction Summary] Event period Open for a limited time only: March 17, 2017 (Fri) to September 3, 2017 (Sun) Location Stage 22 (Hollywood Area) Walk-through real battle attraction, in which you can hold a weapon and walk Attraction type around Age restriction: Suitable for elementary school-aged children or older Usage restrictions * Please see the Universal Studios Japan official web site for further information.

The opening scene is one of the most shocking scenes in cinema history. Evaluate the cinematic techniques that Spielberg employs to both prepare and shock us. Sound/Music Color Cinematography Editing 2. Police Chief Martin Brody is portrayed differently from some of the other authority figures we have seen in other movies this year. What differentiates this police officer from others we have seen? 3. Besides the shark, who is the antagonist? Why is this person an obstacle to the protagonist? 4. What fear does Chief Brody have to conquer in order to solve his central conflict? 5. Quint and Hooper compare scars to size up their masculinity. In doing so, they bond together. What about this act defines what it means to be a man to these men? 6. Quint’s recounting of the U.S.S. Indianapolis is true. Research it online. When you hear Quint recount this story, does your opinion of him change? Why or why not? Is he still a stereotypical fisherman, a revenge- seeking lunatic, or someone else? Explain. 7. Why does Quint break the radio, preventing them from being able to communicate with anyone? 8. Certainly, the central conflict of Jaws is man vs. nature.
