Analysis Of Bad Boys Movie

As a group, we selected The Other Guys, a comedy movie taking place in the New York City police department. The story involves two mismatched detectives that attempt to seize an opportunity in the department. In the movie, The Other Guys, the department is run by Captain Gene Mauch. The atmosphere in the department runs in a way that focuses on two main detectives doing most of the action outside the office. These two-star detectives are Danson and Highsmith, who are played by Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson and Samuel L. Jackson. However, a shootout with robbers results in the deaths of Danson and Highsmith, leaving a hole in the department. After mourning the death of the detectives, everyone in the office desires the opportunity to be the lead detectives of the department. The movie follows two of the detectives in the department as they attempt to fill the role of lead detectives. These characters are Allen Gamble, played by Will Ferrell, and Terry Hoitz, played by Mark Wahlberg. Both Allen and Terry have pasts that have been plagued by bad luck. Allen was once a pimp turned detective after being rushed to the hospital from poison ivy in his butt. Terry shot Derek Jeter during the Major League Baseball Playoffs. Even though Allen and Terry have been plagued by bad luck, they hope that making the arrest of all time would turn their life around.

Many jurors may be more decisive based on actual development in forensic technology; it is likely under the CSI affect to acquit a guilty defendant. The weakness of CSI effect does have a negative effect on the criminal justice system. There a lot of misconceptions associate with crime shows. For instance, in shows such as Law & Order and Crime Scene Investigation, DNA test results only seem to take an hour or a few hours when in reality, it can take days or weeks to get the results back, depending on which DNA testing facility is used.

The importance of show-trials is proving what you are doing looks good, and that is law-abiding. It is important to make everyone happy. (Bach pg.193) A show-trial is a judicial trial held in public with the intention of influencing or satisfying public opinion, rather than of ensuring justice. These show trials resonate deeply with the citizenry. The media world is outrageously popular for captivating the public audience’s attention for court room related cases. An example would be TV. We’ve all came across episodes of “Law and Order.” It appears out to be “how” people think American Justice is. (Bach pg.195) The public attention of media is ranked highly and known as best.

I believe we as a society are intrigued with shows like Dexter because they allow us a temporary escape from reality. A reality in which we witness injustices occur in our court systems such as a legal loop hole allowing a guilty person to essentially walk free and justice not being served for the victim. I will attempt to explain why these characters are thriving as pop culture icons.

Not all primetime crime shows are created equal; some bend forensic realities at different degrees than others depending on sub-genre. According to Hon

During this documentary, the viewers get an inside look at how criminal proceedings work. In the courtroom, the most important players are the prosecution, defense, and judge. The judge is in the room to make sure the proceeding runs smoothly and to settle any arguments that arise. The prosecution is there to accuse the defendant for whatever crime he or she has been convicted of. The defense is there to defend the person being convicted of the crime. There is also a bailiff who is there to oversee the court and make sure everyone there is safe. The bailiff will bring evidence form the defense or prosecution to the judge, as nobody is to approach the bench without the judge calling attorneys to the

From the whole semester, what I’ve have learned that surprise me the most about criminal justice system is that how the media portrays crime justice especially the victims who are affected the most. For example, in Law & Order: SVU, the

In the electronic world that we live in, every aspect of life can be broadcast across the country in seconds. This aspect is even more realistic when cameras are front and center in American courtrooms. Each morning and afternoon we turn on the television, reality television takes over and civil lawsuits or divorces are being broadcast on shows such as the Judge Judy Show, Judge Brown Show, Judge Greg Mathis Show or Divorce Court. Many people, young and old, are exposed to these reality shows believing what they see is the “real” criminal justice system at

To start the article off the first thing the author Patrick Murphy does is assert his importance. The very first line of the article reads “As a Cook County Circuit judge”. At this point he has many of his readers hooked already. An insight into a judge’s mind seems like a captivating thing, and after all one would think someone who works for the American Government would have a great option on it. He then goes on to talk about his experience in the court of law, as well as his personal beliefs on what makes men and women so depressed. Patrick tells of drugs, alcohol,

Different forms of media, such as television, films, books, and newspapers, have similar ways of portraying the criminal justice system. The media constructs representations of crime and justice and in doing this, it presents an often dramatized representation of the criminal justice system; and this does not just influence on the public’s lay view of crime but also for criminal justice experts (Marsh, 2014). In the media it is commonly known that they are a business, and businesses need to make a profit. Because of this, the media’s portrayal of the criminal justice system has been very negative. With the news, their main purpose is to produce what sells. So many of them would edit the information they have gathered and make a story that will sell. Also the media does not show the full process of the criminal justice as a quick process, while in fact it is not. For example, last year, Netflix released a short series called “Making A Murderer”. Most people claimed that they feel like they can solve a crime when they finished watching a series. While that series is very factual, it does not hit every single step of the criminal justice process.

The behavior of some of the officers were tough and other officers were fairly nice. The crimes features consist of different crimes it goes from misdemeanors to felony crimes. Felony cases would have to be the predominate crime in the episodes I have watched. Also, the products being advertised during these programs would include car advertisements, phone company commercials, weight loss commercials and plenty more. I would say the car commercials programs are directed to mostly rich people because the car commercials they had were expensive cars. The phone commercials would go for the middle class people or maybe even poor because they advertise cheap phone plans. Most commercials are age based only few are gender based

As a source of entertainment, crime and criminal justice have become central themes among numerous sources of media. With particular attention to movies and television shows, depictions of criminal justice and crime can be spotted in most situations from nightly news programs to dramas in the courtrooms (Fact Sheet: Crime in the Media, n.d ). Undoubtedly, the popularity of crime shows has culminated into some of the most enduring series in television, such as How to Get Away With Murder and The Mentalist (Fact Sheet: Crime in the Media, n.d

What is the court system? What is the function of the court system? The court system is the system where offenders are sentence for committing their crime. The function of the court system is to issue punishment to criminals and ensure proper sentencing is given for crimes. Examples of the court system are “Judge Judy” and “Judge Mathis”. The images that “Judge Judy” and “Judge Mathis” present are positive images. The stage that “Judge Judy” and “Judge Mathis” depict in the criminal justices system are where the judge hears the arguments of the case at hand, the judge hears both the plaintiff and defendant, and then the judge makes a decision on the case for which evidence was presented in front of them. I think this a fair representation of the criminal justice procedure. Having been chosen to be a juror on the grand jury, I know that the procedures listed above are how the court system operates in Georgia.

Traumatic experiences, difficult home lives, and the effect of drugs can leave a significant imprint on the rest of an individual’s life. The context which individuals are surrounded by during their developmental years has a significant impact on their mental health and development. In the documentary, The Bad Kids this idea is depicted through the portrayal of adolescence and early adulthood periods of the individuals at Black Rock Continuation High School. The film portrays the lives of at risk teens, who are given a second chance to get their life on track and earn a high school diploma. However, there are complications and set-backs that are holding them back from accomplishing their goals.

Viewers are absorbed in the Hollywood perspective of our justice system by the images portrayed in “Bad Boys.” This film was made to uplift and heighten the life of a detective. “Bad Boys” made the characters seem very glamorous, and prideful of their jobs. This was an action film, and had very many car chasing and shooting scenes. It was made to seem thrilling. However, a real life car chase or shooting would not be so fascinating in real life. Detective Mike Lowery drove a fancy car throughout the movie and made a day on the job look extremely fancy. For example a quote
