During class we saw the film “Walkout”‚ it was a film that made me cry not only once but twice. The film showed the stereotypes and the expectations of Chicanos. I found the film being quite interesting because I could relate to it in many ways.

I always thought the walkouts were peaceful‚ I had no idea how brutally students were attacked. It was quite sad seeing students

I saw Braveheart for the first time a couple years ago right before I turned seventeen. Since then‚ I have seen it three times‚ for a total of four. Although the movie may be a little less captivating just by the very nature of repeat viewings‚ I can still happily say I love Braveheart and consider it one of my favorite films of all time. This picture tells a fictionalized story of William Wallace‚ a 13th century Scotsmen who would go on to make his mark on history. As Braveheart tells it‚ Wallace

A. Watching this movie was very eye opening. I knew it was bad in Mexico but never like that. I learned a lot of new things that I never knew prior to the movie. The first term I linked the movie to would be Absolute poverty‚ the condition of having too little income to buy the necessities‚ food‚ shelter‚ clothing‚ health care. The people would have very little money if any and wouldn’t have anywhere to work at. It was sad seeing them get caught by boarder control or the police for trying to sneak

see the movie “Unbroken” with my family. It is the story of a man that was a prisoner of war in World War II. On the way home from seeing the movie I complained about how some of the disturbing imagery had made me uncomfortable and how I didn’t think I could stomach watching the movie a second time. My father’s reply to my complaints was “It is your discomfort with the movie that is the reason you should watch it everyday.” That statement has been one that has stuck with me.

At the court about Tom Robinson and of course that is very gloomy‚ but if they would spend more time with Atticus‚ maybe they wouldn’t be that depressing and.... I think from the beginning‚ Atticus always had a sentiment that Tom will be find guilty.
