Film: Sicko How it is‚ asks documentarian Michael Moore‚ that the US‚ which is among the richest nations in the world‚ ranks so low--just above Slovenia‚ in fact--in the health care provided for its citizens? The answers to that question form the thesis of Sicko‚ the film in which Moore traces the HMO system back to the Nixon administration and shows how Republican politicos defeated Hillary Rodham Clinton’s initiative for universal health care coverage. He also follows several middle class Americans

Hamilton Extra Credit Assignment There is a vast array of things that I have learned through watching this film; from the writing‚ production‚ casting‚ and ultimately making it to Broadway let alone succeeding on Broadway. Lin-Manuel Miranda’s idea for creating Hamilton stems from an autobiography he read about Alexander Hamilton while on vacation. Flash forward to 2009‚ Miranda sings only one song that has been written for Hamilton when performing at the White House. Motivation and the creative

D.) THE PROGRESSION 1.) Parallel Points I.) Scarface - Tony’s rise to power is a notable rags-to-riches story‚ only that it involves drugs and dead bodies.

Taking place from 2002 to the present day‚ the whole cast grow up – literally – before your very own eyes. While the theme of nostalgia is apparent‚ that’s not the film’s primary focus. Instead‚ the prominent theme is simply life as a boy growing

After watching the “Lottery”‚ I was extremely in awe of how people treat charter schools. I myself never had the opportunity to attend a charter school‚ but I do never thought people felt so strong about them. The PTA were against a school system that could help better educate their children. Looking at the way the parents reacted was heart breaking. I would think‚ that these parents would want their children to receive the best education that they can get‚ regardless of what the school is‚ but that

From watching the films in class‚ it shows the impact that the development of capitalism do to the working class whose countries are targeted for capitalist investment or in countries that are industrial capitalist. Far from actually helping these people‚ it actually caused harm. These people struggled to support themselves and their family while the capitalist society takes advantage of them. In “Behind the Labels”‚ women from different parts of Asia (China‚ Philippines) were sent to Saipan to
