Seven Up Documentary Analysis
Seven Up is a documentary on fourteen children that are British. I did my critique on Neil. Neil is from the suburbs of Liverpool. He is one of the children on the show that is not as wealthy as the others. At the age of seven Neil is seen as a happy child. When I was his age I was full of happiness as well. I remember telling my parents what I wanted to do in life at that age. Neil has a different future planned out such as having no children. A typical day for Neil is to go to school, go home, drink tea then go outside and play. I thought he was funny at this age because of his explanation of why he wouldn’t have kids. I liked his personality at that young age but as he got older things drastically changed. At the age of fourteen Neil didn’t

    Out of the documentaries shown in class, I have decided to analyze the documentary Dakota 38. The film focuses on Native American riders who go on a long, perilous, journey 330 miles across South Dakota to Minnesota to go to exact spot where their 38 ancestors were hung. The purpose of this journey is to honor and remember the end of the Dakota War which is known to be the largest mass execution in United States history ordered by President Abraham Lincoln.…

    The Farmingville documentary examines the clash between long time residents of a Long Island, NY suburban community and Mexican day laborers who move into their neighborhood. The illegal immigrant population has grown to ten percent of the town’s population because of the area’s successful restaurant, landscaping, and construction industries. Many in Farmington are not happy with the arrival of the immigrants in their community, and yet they accept that the day laborers perform the jobs that the residents do not want to do themselves. The immigration problems Farmingville faces are being experienced throughout the country, so it is interesting to see how this town deals with its illegal immigration problems. The documentary does not offer any solution to this problem, however, but instead ends with the dilemma that America needs to decide what its identity is in relation to immigration. In other words, is America still a nation of immigrants or is it now closed to further immigration, especially from countries where the people do not look like us? After seeing this documentary, it is clear to me that our country needs to address…

    Through Deaf Eyes is a film outlining deaf history and deaf culture. The movie touches on many key milestones in deaf American’s lives including: community interactions, education, recreation and work. While we have been learning much on deaf history, I was fascinated to hear the many obstacles deaf people had to overcome to reach where they are today. I am one to always route for the underdog and to me the deaf community’s history is a wonderful example of a minority persevering to achieve set goals and dreams. This movie helped me realize that while obstacles for modern deaf people are numerous, in the past they were almost…

    more about the public image that they worried about. To make profit, the people being put on display have to look attractive enough to guarantee their movie sells. At 13 years old, however, Judy signed over to Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer as one of their few child stars and they didn’t know what to do with her. In fact, MGM was in a similar predicament with another child star around Judy’s age, Deanna Durbin, who had an exceptional voice, albeit more operatic. The studio even filmed the two girls in the musical short titled Every Sunday in 1936 as a “screen test” to help decide which one of the girls they wanted to keep by comparing their voices side by side to an audience (Clarke, 73). According to Judy in a Jack Parr interview, they were…

    The Trudell Documentary taught me a lot about Native American’s that I didn’t know. Growing up, in history class, one of my teachers made a point to state that what America did to the Native American’s was wrong. We then learned all about how we took their land and made them change their lives. Although it is important to know the historical backgrounds to these events, we never really talked much about how the Government was treating Native Americans now.…

    The film “Through Deaf Eyes” changed the way I view the deaf community and deaf culture. Before watching the film I didn’t know much about deaf culture at all. I knew that deaf people had a strong community and were closely connected to one another, but watching the film allowed me to see that much more clearly. When the deaf people talked, many of them mentioned the experience of meeting and being with other deaf people. The way they spoke about all deaf schools and churches opened my eyes to the very strong sense of community and shared experiences many deaf people have. It showed me how powerful being with a group of people similar to yourself can be and how it can affect people’s life in a very positive way. The video also changed the way I viewed…

    I could relate to the movie because I also grew up poor. It’s full of incredibly sad circumstances. It’s sad to see families, or anyone really, living in a homeless shelter. It’s sad that in a country where there is so much excess, anyone has to be homeless. It is truly depressing when a person, especially a child, sees other people have nice, clean things and eating food, food that is a special treat for a poor person. The ridicule and humiliation that stem from material items are sadly inherent of our culture. All of the children seemed wise beyond their ages. I believe this is one of the many effects of poverty on children. I don’t fully believe in the idea that people make their own circumstances. Children definitely have no control over their circumstances, and their childhood is going to shape the adults they become.…

    Arthur Miller’s “Death of a Salesman” is perhaps one of the most renowned tragedies of all time. Miller reinvented the framework of the tragedy, and ignoring the rules of Aristotle’s classic tragedy, created a new ‘modern’ form of tragedy that he believed was better. Miller did so by connecting the audience to the main characters of the novel; Willy, Biff, Happy, and Linda, making them relatable and similar to the common man. Despite seeming average at first glance, the Loman family is wounded, and they are struggle to stay afloat. With his entire family on the edge, the burdens of the house and family stack up on Willy, ultimately leading to his death by suicide, which is a clear indicator that out of all the characters of the novel, Mr. Loman was most wounded by far.…
