    Mac, Louie, and Phil, stranded in the middle of the Pacific Ocean, hoped that an American plane would save them--as a result, they would constantly shoot a signal gun toward any plane that passed by. However, the plane that Louie aimed for was a Japanese one; followed by his shooting, a Japanese plane approached the stranded boat and poured out the bullets at Mac, Louie, and Phil. Mac and Phil crouched in the boat while Louie hid under the raft in order to avoid the bullets. Below the boat, where Louie stayed, were the sharks that constantly attempted to attack the boat. There were obstacles above and below the sea--the bullets and sharks--and this is why Chapter 15 was titled “Sharks and…

Bigelow used things such as moving camera shots, camera angles, lighting, and the use of long shots to create a realistic feel throughout the movie.…

    42 Movie Summary

    Jackie Robinson, 42, first black man to play on a team of all whites and make it to the world championship. He rocks. His number is retired and people wear the number 42 on their jersey every year for one day because of him. All of this information I got from the movie 42. The movie was amazing and very good! In the beginning when it showed how he became selected was different than what I imagined it would’ve been done. During the movie there were threats from white people saying they’d come where Robinson lived and hurt him or something, so he left with the black reporter guy who later became a part of the American Baseball Press or whatever it was called. However, Robinson thought that he was leaving cause he got drafted from the team. :P Later on in the movie, because Robinson got accepted to play on a Major League Baseball Team, the Brooklyn Dodgers. However, most members on the team wrote a petition saying that they wouldn't want to play baseball if Robinson joined the team because he was black. Jackie Robinson was not only bullied by the audience, but also by other players of different teams. One of those people were Ben Chapman; he bullied Robinson until he almost lost it, but had a teammate stand up for him, and Chapman ended up having to take a picture with Robinson to show the world he changed whether he did or not. Another person who technically bullied Robinson was the guy who threw the pitch at Robinson’s head. His name I forgot but I remember because of that pitch to the head, both teams broke out in a fight and Robinson was confused on what was going on or so it looked like. Of course though, Robinson got the Dodgers to make it all the way to Championship or World Series, I forget which one it was. I can sort of tell that throughout the movie, there was a lot of things that they most likely left out like how much and/or bad he was threatened and what he went through being the only black man on a white team, etc.…
