Crash Essay The movie Crash conveys the message that conflicts between races is due to a lack of understanding and communication. Though the central meaning of Crash is centered around race‚ I think the movie has a deeper meaning. I think this movie speaks about people in general; how we treat and interact with one another and how we think of one another. In general people think everything racist is between whites and blacks‚ but if you look closely in this movie you see minorities and people of

The movie surprises its viewers with cleverly written jokes‚ action packed scenes‚ and heartwarming characters. This Warner Brothers production grabs the attention of its viewer and keeps them entertained all the way to the end. Directed by Phil Lord and Christopher

Receiving a 5/5 stars from http://commonsensemedia.org can be viewed as a major accomplishment‚ therefore it is no surprise Louis Sachar’s Novel "Holes" was made into a movie. However Andrew Davis made some interesting variations on how he told the story. In my opinion the biggest differences where Stanley’s appearance‚ Sam’s death‚ and Mr. Sir’s role. At first these may appear to be accidents but they are there for very specific reasons‚ they are there because the director targets your eyes‚ and

Dr. Zhivago Movie The 1965 movie‚ Dr. Zhivago‚ takes a slight diversion from the novel by Boris Pasternak. My initial reading of Pasternak’s Nobel Prize winning novel told me a story of war‚ identity‚ and morality. It took individuals under normal circumstances and threw them into the tribulations of war and tragedy. This is emphasized by Yuri’s relationship with Lara. Though there was a strong sub-plot of love and romance‚ the strongest theme‚ to me‚ was that of the individual struggles during the

The movie 13th was a very interesting movie. I learned a lot while watching the film‚ Such as the history of a mass plan of incarceration against blacks and latinos. I also learned about how the history of law has been continuously used to hold minorities down.

I was not aware of the history of the criminal justice system and how

Based solely on the novel of Divergent a movie was made lasting two hours and nine minutes. This isn’t a short span of time for a movie yet‚ could it be pure coincidence that they left out some details. Could it have been some of the effects were to gruesome for a film rated PG-13? Or were these actions of leaving the details out more purposeful? Does it give the movie somewhat of a different meaning than the original script of the book? So it brings into question‚ who wrote it better the writer
