The things that impacted me about the movie are the fact that it is based on a true-life story. The filmmakers did a good job of being realistic in the fact that not everyone is going to support a mentally challenged individual all of the sudden being a part of a…
The movie was very powerful just to learn about hate crime and how it attracted a lot of attention from media as well as public all over the world due to his tragic death. Matthew was the type of person that was very approachable and always put his family and friends first. Even though the death of Matthew Shepard was undeserved I definitely think that some good has come out of it because it made people realize how much violence and hatred there in the world and what it can turn into. This tragedy helped the nation wake up to the fact that hate and discrimination still lives in our communities, schools and families. Mr. Dennis Shepard gave speech in tribute to his son Matthew brought tears in my eyes. I was able to connect and engage to that moment. That moment touched me so much that I couldn’t stop crying.…

In the movie, there is a guy who lost his father and father’s girlfriend in front of him in an airplane accident. His story was heartbreaking. Not everybody can get over such a tragic incident, but how he accepted and how he dealt with it brought him a joyful life. Oneʻs life is what he/she has chosen. I thought life is all depends on how we look at things.…

I learned quite a few new things from this movie, that if you are deaf and lose your hand or fingers that you are basically an outsider to both the deaf and hearing world. I didn’t really think about that happening, but I now understand that having all your fingers and being able to show expression are really important. Another thing that I learned is back when this movie was made how deaf didn’t sign in front of hearing. This action showed me how explicit they wanted to keep their lives and how they communicate. I also learned that the separation between the two worlds has greatly reduced, compared to back then I would say we understand a lot more.…
thI found this movie to be disturbing to watch at some points, but it was mainly sad most of the time. It was one the most powerful movies I have ever seen! In my opinion, I find it horrific for the parents of these widows to even accept the fact of basically giving up their young daughters to men much older than them. I also feel that it was a very cruel lifestyle these widows had lived. Just because their husband had passed away doesn't mean they have to live in such misery for the rest of their lives. Doesn't it seem impossible to believe that some of the things in this movie could have actually happened in real life? and that stuff like this is still going on today? There are widows still living in similar circumstances right now and things in the United States that relate to this situation such as, segregation and slavery. Having to see what these women had gone through all these years, makes us think of how lucky we actually are and how we take the goodness we have for granted. The struggles some of us may have now does not compare to the struggles the women in this video have gone through. It sure made me think twice about things. The symbolism of water in this movie was incredible though. Symbolism of water through out the film was rain and rivers as well as drinking water,to purify the characters and wash away negativities that they had lived through. This movie did help me learn much more about…

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…

In this particular movie I learned to value the things that I have. God created a lot of things but for me it is such a blessing that his masterpiece is my family. A lot of people given a chance to live, and all of us have reason why we want to fight for the…
The movie is actually one of the most heart-touching movies I’ve ever watched without a doubt most especially the last part of it. It gives us a lesson that we must be happy for the life that God has given us because there are other species that long to have a body and a soul. It made me realize that I am perfect in my own way. Those mistakes that I’ve made, they are actually the ones that made me perfect. You just have to learn how to embrace that negativity and learn how to make it a positive one. To experience a lot of emotions is the best part of being a human person and Andrew can’t show nor do that and that is why he tried his very best to be our kind which also tells us another lesson that if you want something, you should be determined to get it. If you have the opportunity, go grab it because it only comes once in a lifetime. Life wouldn’t lend you your needs because it’s up to you to have it.…
“In the West today many young people do not have a meaning and purpose to their life. They’re looking to say, does my life matter? Do I have a meaning or contribution to make?…In developing countries this is a lot more clear. They may be in a crisis or conflict situation, and so for them it is clear: I need to survive, I need to get an education, I need to get a job because someone needs me, and that someone can be family or a friend, and in a larger sense sometimes that person or that entity can also be their country that needs them…..And this is an extraordinary gift and advantage that people in the West don’t have. Many young people today feel that they are not needed, that they can be replaced in the workplace by just about anyone for less money, and this has created a kind of cultural question of, Do I matter?”-- AH…
