PROBLEM: What is the sentiment of the following document towards the entity Davy Jones ? Do you fear death? Thatâs the question that  the satanic figure Davy Jones  poses to  his  intended victims throughout At World's End  the third movie in Walt Disneyâs Pirates of the Caribbean trilogy. And  the answer the movie gives is that death is not the worst thing that can happen to you. In fact  the movie suggests that being a slave to the devil  a slave to sin  a man without honor who will betray his friends or serve evil forces  and being condemned to Hell are all worse than physical death.
The movieâs opening finds Will Turner and Elizabeth Swann allied with Captain Barbossa in a quest to free Captain Jack Sparrow from the limbo underworld of  Davy Jones â locker. They confront the cunning Chinese pirate Sao Feng  who has the map that will lead them through icy waters to Jack.
Meanwhile  the evil Lord Beckett has taken over the East India Trading Company. After having retrieved the heart of  Davy Jones  in the second movie  Lord Beckett now controls  Davy Jones  and his ship the Flying Dutchman. Using the Flying Dutchman  Beckett hangs every man  woman  and child who refuses to submit to his absolute control over the high seas.
After perilously retrieving Jack from  Davy Jones â locker  each character must ultimately choose a side in a final  titanic battle with Lord Beckettâs armada  led by  Davy Jones  and  his  ship and crew. Will is torn between saving his father or saving his love  Elizabeth. Jack is torn between honor and saving his own skin. And  Elizabeth no longer knows who she can trust.
Although the movieâs Christian metaphors are clear  the movie also deals with piracy and some pagan allusions to a âheathen god.â The movie also says that the Flying Dutchman was originally intended to ferry people to the afterlife  but that  Davy Jones  has corrupted  his  supernatural office by enslaving men.

PROBLEM: What is the sentiment of the following document towards the entity Zachary Ward ? The study's lead author  Zachary Ward   described the forecast as "sobering."
But   he  added  "It should not be surprising that we are heading in this direction. We are already approaching this level of adult obesity for certain subgroups [and] areas of the country."
Still   Ward  expressed some surprise at how strongly being obese at a very young age predicted obesity decades down the road.
 Ward  is a doctoral candidate in health policy with the Harvard T.H. Chan School of Public Health's Center for Health Decision Science  in Boston.
The study by  Ward  and  his  colleagues appears in the Nov. 30 issue of the New England Journal of Medicine.

PROBLEM: What is the sentiment of the following document towards the entity George W Bush ? But both Spinelli and Liman understood that , as with the Bush family , they could n't tell Seal 's story and not at least tip their hats to the cottage industry of fringe Clinton conspiracies involving him . 
The most eyebrow-raising moments in American Made , however , come when Seal crosses paths with two other major historical figures : Bill Clinton and George W. Bush . 
Seal was murdered in 1986 , by Colombian nationals allegedly carrying out a contract on his life -- a fact that , coupled with the fuzzy details surrounding his possible collusion with federal intelligence officials , makes him terrific fodder for a different kind of storytelling , and is ultimately what led the filmmakers to include Clinton and Bush in American Made . 
For example , Spinelli said , "one of the big conspiracy theories around Barry is that he was -LSB- George -RSB- H.W. Bush 's personal pilot , and when Barry was killed , he had Bush 's phone number in his back pocket ." 
Which is how American Made , which opens Sept. 29 , ended up with a scene in which Seal is waiting for a meeting at the White House while sitting next to a young George W. Bush -LRB- Connor Trinneer -RRB- as they exchange small talk about piloting planes . 
"I just wanted to put a little fun thing between Barry and George W. Bush to just sort of say , ` We 're not ignorant of those allegations , '" said Liman ." 
Spinelli said that since Seal reportedly did visit the Reagan White House , he was OK with placing him next to Bush , who also regularly visited the White House when his father was vice president . 
"You know , there 's dramatic license there , but both -LSB- Seal and Bush -RSB- were pilots , and I just thought it would be a cool moment to have -LSB- H.W. Bush 's -RSB- son meet Barry in the hallway ," he said . 
-LRB- Representatives for George W. Bush did not respond to a request to comment . -RRB-
