Proposition 60 Film Analysis
Did you know that California is the number one state that produces adult films in the U.S? Statistics has shown that “90% of all porn is shot in the San Fernando Valley”. (Abram Susan,) But why is the Valley of San Fernando the home of pornography? Well, it's all thanks to Hal Freeman an adult film actor in 1983 (One thing that you have to know is that in 1993 porn was illegal). He was sued by the state and sent to the Supreme Court, but the Supreme Court noticed how Hal Freeman wasn’t making the porn just to grab attention from the people, he was trying to make a living out of his own films. Therefore, pornography was first legalized in the San Fernando Valley (Faraci). Proposition 60 is a ballot that wants to protect adult film workers …show more content…
It won’t help prevent any fatal diseases from transmitting because adult film directors have to know the health status of each actor, therefore people with contagious diseases could not participate in any films. In other words, if someone was hiring people for a job, don’t you think that they would like to know about their background and health status?. Sadly in 1998 four performers contracted HIV because the directors didn’t make sure that the person who was infected was healthy. There hasn't been any recent news about an actor contracting any diseases ever since. (Newman, Emily. ). Due to STDs being a huge epidemic problem within the LGBTQS many organizations such as AIDS Healthcare Foundation have informed their donors with “false information and putting them on their side” to either get funds to continue their organizations or to prevent gays and lesbians from having sexual interactions. It is disgusting to know that some organizations want to spread their disinformation to scare the LGBTQ community . Instead, they should provide the better quality of information and sexual health service to their donors, that way they would know how an STI is actually transmitted. Many people who are eligible to vote don’t know much about prop 60, just by looking at the definition of prop 60; they would automatically vote yes on it.Due to many citizens not being informed of certain ballots or measures, the state citizens are having financial issues. Take Measure B as an example, when measure B was passed fewer people are shooting adult films in L.A , and some have migrated to different states. (Abram, Susan) Measure B also caused taxpayers hundreds of dollars annually because taxes will increase due to the loss of the adult film industry in that area(Harry,Saltzgaver). Not everyone in LA knows why their tax rates are increasing, and the one to blame for this are those organizations that give false

    The Thin Blue Line documentary by Errol Morris provides reenactments and investigation interviews of a late November homicide of a Dallas, Texas police officer, Robert Wood. This murder was at the hands of a troubled 16 year old, David Harris, who shot a man from inside a stolen Mercury Comet with a stolen .22 pistol. Randall Adams, innocent, and wrongly accused of being in the passenger seat of Harris’ stolen car, was blamed as the killer of police officer Robert Wood on the late November evening in Dallas, Texas. Young and afraid, David Harris claims Randall Adams is the gunman who shot down Robert Wood in Dallas, consequently many of the case’s investigators accept such a conviction due to the need for a “wrap up” of the case; furthermore the DA, in effort to keep his perfect win record by convicting Adams, and his desire for the death penalty…

    As some argued in the case of TB, such measures may even worsen transmission because the ill will hide from the registration, leading to lack of treatment or education on an individual’s preventative measures . This, coupled with the fact that AIDS is most common in some already-stigmatized groups—like homosexuals—increases the risk that a registry would do more harm to the sick than it would benefit the public. Basically, registering and monitoring every individual with AIDS would be “impractical” and has the very real potential to draw attention away from other preventative and safety measures that should be implemented by diverting focus to blaming, stigmatizing, and ostracizing victims…

    This past weekend a close friend of mine encouraged me to go see the documentary 9500 Liberty that was playing on Friday. Honestly I only went to be nice to my friend however as I sat and watched the documentary I quickly became very engaged. The film was about a county in Virginia which was trying to implement laws which negatively affected the steadily increasing Latino community in the area. This documentary was fantastically done and was very emotionally gripping. I was really upset because of the racist comments that were said by the Caucasian residents. It became a very ugly battle which surpassed the original purpose of the whole issue.Throughout the movie I was constantly becoming more and more angry at the behavior of the opposing…

    As Marquette University’s Mission Week focusing on “Racial Justice: Black, White, and the Call of the Church” comes to a close, I find myself reflecting on the meaning of racial justice, as well as how to properly engage in this difficult topic in the city of Milwaukee. I had the opportunity to expand my knowledge while viewing the film Milwaukee 53206, which focuses on one of our community’s poorest zip codes as well as the nation’s most incarcerated zip code. The social ills of this area are not just a result of one issue, but multiple issues within the community including the average yearly income, socioeconomic status, quality of life and family relationships, and other social determinants.…

    In 1952 there were multiple fantastic films that made it a close competition for best picture. I narrowed down my list of movies to The Quiet Man, High Noon, and The Greatest Show on Earth. I narrowed it down to these three because Moulin Rouge and Ivanhoe did not perform up to the standards it needed to have a chance at best picture. By thoroughly evaluating these films it has been determined that The Greatest Show on Earth clearly deserved to win its best picture award becuase of its emotional scenes, creative film techniques, and an impactful ending with a twist.…

    The seven deadly sins, gluttony, greed, lust, sloth, pride, envy and wrath, are all emotions that nearly every individual experience each day throughout their lives because of the social, political and economic factors that surround us each day. However, what would happen if we were truly punished for allowing these emotions to control us? This question establishes the plot for the film Se7en starring Morgan Freeman, Brad Pitt and Gwyneth Paltrow which was released in 1995. Nonetheless, the film does not solely focus on the seven deadly sins and the punishments that go along with them but raise questions moral questions about psychopathy and policing in today’s culture. In this essay I will discuss the how the film Se7en’s portrayal of policing in pop culture is reflective of the dialectical relationship and socio-historic context that was present in 1995 when the film was produced, based and released. Furthermore, I will pay particular attention to the influence race has on policing as this was the first cop film that allowed the lead detective to be a man of colour. Additionally, to…

    For years gay and lesbian organizations have always had a hard fight for equal rights in the United States, Texas is without an exception. Recent law amendments to the state constitution have upturned the “Anti-sodomy statute, Chapter 21, Sec. 21.06 of the Texas Penal Code made it Class C misdemeanor to engage in deviant sexual intercourse with the same sex” and brought the State back in line with the Supreme Court Ruling equal rights for everyone. The current problem now facing Texas is about repealing the outdated state amendments and Texas Health Code to reflect the changes and helping government employees stay informed of those changes.…

    Similarly, McTeigue demonstrates how the corruptive nature of men, amplified by power causes destructive historical cycles through his allegorical film V for Vendetta. Like the Handmaid’s Tale, V for Vendetta sets in a fascist police state run by the Norsefire party, an allusion to the Nazi party of WWI. Here, control is extremely practiced as their government “uses lies to hide the truth,” euphemising its objectives and hyperbolising on “war, terror, disease… conspired to rob common sense” and “coercive their conformity.” The “enunciation of truth” behind their reconstructed media is revealed when side protagonist Evey, plunges into V’s “shadow gallery,” an allusion of the Handmaid’s “oasis of the forbidden.” It was soon disclosed that the…
