When this movie started‚ I automatically rolled my eyes thinking of over dramatic vegetarian PETA advocates and animal lovers. I never understood the concept of not eating something and cutting out a whole food group just because people refuse to accept the cycle of life.

IB History of Europe 12B Mrs. Akker Argo Movie review 31 March 2013 Argo is a movie about the US’s problems with Iran in the 1980’s. I was pleasantly surprised to find it very enjoyable. I don’t tend to enjoy history movies or documentaries‚ but the plot really captured my attention. I like that the filmmaker gave some background information regarding the conflict because this allowed the viewer to understand what was going on. At the end of the movie‚ pictures were shown comparing the real events

Paper One: Walkout There are four components that make up Chicano art. The film “Walkout” demonstrates all four phases‚ according to the article “Chicano Renaissance”‚ which are: critique and revisionism‚ oppositional way of thinking‚ sense of cultural pride‚ and oppression. Out of all four components‚ I think that the oppositional way of thinking component stands out most throughout the film. The film was really able to capture the struggle and dedication of the Chicano/a movement that went on

I chose to write a movie review as I thought it would be interesting
