Inez Milholland Movie
Another area of the movie that I found particularly touching was the death of Inez Milholland. She died while helping promote and gather more supporters in California. Indz was a good friend of Alice Paul and Lucy Burns, she was also highly respected among supporters of the suffrage movement. The opening scene in the movie actually showed her riding a horse in the parade they had organized for women’s suffrage. Although we have seen this seen in the cinematic version, I did want to include a photograph that of Inez during that parade that later resulted in a riot with over 100 people injured in the

    When I saw the cover of this movie I thought that I would not like it at all because it looked like an old movie and I really don't like the black and white style. Watching it surprised me a lot. I was very moved and touched by the actual characters and the moral of the story. Knowing that this was not a fictional movie made it that much harder to not get emotional. There where many issues addressed in this movie with the Mexican-American mine workers.…

    I found the film to be amusing with the funny quirts of Michael Moore. It portrays the true sadness behind what really happened in a humorous way. In reality the true story behind the humor of the film is depressing considering this entire town is losing all the opportunities they have ever had.…

    Basquiat Film Analysis

    I choose this movie because of the interesting reviews online. Not only were their reviews on the movie itself but also on a book written by Jennifer Clement titled Widow Basquiat. The movie portrayed the common actions of the people of the time well. It didn’t avoid the topics of drugs and homelessness in larger cities. It also showed some racism towards his skin color. Not only from others but from himself towards rich white people that he was working for. Overall I think that this movie did a very good job of showing his life, the good and the…

    In Iron Jawed Angels, I also saw the heartache and hard work that Alice Paul and Lucy Burns had to go through to fight for the rights of women. I watched carefully as these women voiced their opinion so demandingly and courageously that even in the male governed society they overcame their trial and errors. All of these obstacles that they went through were so inspirational because these women have shown us to always fight for what you believe in, even if everyone else is fighting against…

    After watching the movie, I became more aware of what the current time era presented to people. And that was ignorance, violence, prejudices, and discrimination towards people who looked differently than that of one’s self. I have much respect for the people who had to go through so much trouble just because they were different. I also enjoyed the movie because Singleton incorporated scenes that may seem out of the ordinary is today’s society, but is what really happened during the days of America…

    In my opinion, I though the film was powerful and overwhelming at times. As, the public figures and political activists gave a lot of information. Analyzing the film, you see how America’s complex prison system affects people of color. It is shocking. Because despite living in a country that gives liberty to all…

    The movie showed instances of gender stereotyping most strongly. Starting with the women characters, there is a laundry list of notable instances, but I will only name a few. We can start with Azteca, Z's friend and fellow "worker". While Z is a typical male who is competitive and wants to move up in the world, Azteca maintains a somewhat "typical" female response. Instead of encouraging him, she tells Z to just smile, and happily accept his place, even if it is an awful life where he is to literally digging ditches his whole life. This example simply highlight the stereotype that women can, in effect, be "yes men", the phrase further illustrating the perception of weakness in females. Another time when this theme appeared was when the Queen was talking to her daughter, who was, in an old-school sort of way, betrothed to a man not of her choosing, the general. While the daughter complained, the Queen simply urged her to be complacent, and accept her fate, because it is "the best thing for everyone". Another instance, and one which I found particularly hilarious, was the woman wasp(no coincidence there, of course). When Z and the princess were in trouble, she insisted to her husband that he help them, because it was the humanitarian thing to do. It was presented in such a way that harkened to the proverbial housewife image, whereby the…

    Letters Home from Vietnam

    • 338 Words
    • 2 Pages

    The powerful emotions triggered through watching this film can be acknowledged without question. What I found the most interesting was the use of real news footage from that time period that aired on major news networks, swaying people’s opinions about our justification for being in Vietnam. Being able to view that gave me a 1st hand look into soldiers’ opinions of the war as well as protests and how they differed then. The actors reading the leaders with pure emotion and feeling in order to accurately portray how much these soldiers put into these letters was remarkable because I felt as though I was experiencing that time period as if it were real and the soldiers were scrambling to write as I watched on. The stories they depicted throughout their words definitely provided for a flurry of reactions. I wanted to be happy for those men honored for combat, living through the horrors of hell, and seeing the relief on their faces when being honorably discharged and sent home. I was equally and oppositely somber, however, for those men’s lives stolen in combat, for those permanently crippled and bitter, to hear of the unspeakable horrors awaiting prisoners of war, as well as letters from optimistic soldiers killed in action shortly after. Another thing I found effectively executed by this film was the specific numbers given. They showed the variation in the number of soldiers deployed to Vietnam over the course of the war, as well as the rising KIA numbers and wounded in combat. A gruesome part of this war as well was the thick jungle that the soldiers had to navigate through blindly until ambushed by the Vietcong, and I thought the film did an excellent job of revealing that to the public. One of the most powerful moments of the film was when a soldier, grieving over his superior officer exclaimed that “he’ll be given a silver star, and somehow that is supposed to suffice for his life being…

    It’s amazing how different the country was back then. It is a very moving film and it’s difficult not to be moved emotionally by the tragedy and senselessness of it all. It is just as vivid to the all the friends and relatives of the four little girls, as if it happened yesterday. As I stated, the film is very intense and moving because the memories of the people involved are still quite vivid. One scene that stood out to me was when one of the mothers’ stated that she doesn't harbor any hate. She used to but has kind of resigned herself to the fact that that it wouldn’t do any good at this point. Nevertheless, she admits that it’s something that she has to work on daily through her belief in God. Of course, it makes us wonder if we would be able to somehow handle it as well as she has.…

    Loving Story

    The married partners, Richard and Mildred, were woken up in the middle of the night and were criminally charged for being in the state of Virginia and being married. Richard was a white male, Mildred was a African American and Native American, and that was the problem that they faced at that point in history. During this time, it was illegal to be of different races and married in 21 states. The Lovings were exiled from the state of Virginia if they were going to be together. The couple had to secretly sneak back into the state to see their families. In the documentary, they showed footage of Richard driving to Virginia with Midlred in the trunk. This stood out to me, and that was when I really understood the courageousness of two people fighting against the laws put in place to keep them apart. I also really enjoyed the fact that Mildred Loving was the one to speak more and be outspoken about what they were doing. Richard was the more quiet one, which also does not coincide with gender roles that are placed for them.…

    There were tons of key moments that impacted me and once that just did not make a big dent. I already listed a few moments that had a negative effect on me. The International Sign Language Theatre Festival towards the end of the film was amazing. I wish I could have gone, there were different acts from around the world, different types of acts, and a great thought. It was interesting to the different types of sign language across the world. It is similar to speaking, for example, certain countries have different type of language and that is the same with signing. Its inspirational characters and messages really made me think deeper into deaf culture. I wanted to learn more about deaf culture and more signing than just American Sign Language. The four many characters all touched my heart in different ways. Robert, the actor, no matter…

    Norma Rae Movie Themes

    • 1307 Words
    • 6 Pages

    Over the course of the last semester we have had the opportunity to watch various films all teaching a common theme. They each provide a female who shows strength and determination. Norma Rae (Martin Ritt) is about a young single mother who lives in a small town in North Carolina. Norma Rae works at a local textile factory with her family. Norma Rae and all the other workers have long hours, lousy working condition, and rotten pay. This all changes when Norma Rae meets Reuben Warshowsky, who is a New York union organizer. Norma Rae decides to join Reuben to start a union at her textile factory. Together Norma Rae and Reuben unionize the factory! This film spoke so powerfully to me because it shows that if you want something go and get it. Norma Rae was determined to make a change in the textile factory, even if it risks her own job and her family. She showed that women can do anything we put our minds to, just as good as men or even better!…

    There isn’t an important female character that is independent of the male heroes in the movie, in fact the end of the film shows Hiller and Jasmine getting married, while David and Constance are going to get back together. By the end of the film these women are either dead (like Marilyn) or have to literally sit back and watch as the men go off to “Kick E.T.’s ass”. When the climax of the movie comes along the movie becomes rather digressive as the men have to “go off to work” while the women have to “Stay home”. I think the film is trying to be progressive for women, by giving them jobs and allowing them to do a few honorable or heroic things (who can forget Vivica A. Fox keeping the door open to save good old Boomer from the fireball), but even with a few steps forward they all take a big step back by the end of the…
