Title: Boy
Director: Taika Waititi
Text Type: Film
A character that I liked while watching the film was Boy. For an 11 year-old boy, Boy has a fantastic imagination and is always optimistic. From what we see in the movie, Boy has had a difficult life but only when it comes to his parents. Other than that his life is all right. In some ways I can relate to Boy because his father doesn’t live with him and neither does mine, but he is always optimistic that his father will come back and see him. Boy lives with is grandmother and 5 other kids. When his grandmother goes away to a funeral, Boy becomes in charge of the house and everyone inside it, every night he cooks them meals and puts them to bed. I find this quite admirable of Boy because he doesn’t have to do it if he doesn’t want to, but it is his responsibility so he does it. Also when his father arrives home with his two friends, Boy does the polite thing and offers them a cup of tea, “would you fellas like a cuppa tea?” This shows that even for a young age Boy is already quite grown up and knows how to treat company. I admire Boy because later on in the film, the father does something that hurts Boy a lot and then for Rocky’s sake, who is Boy’s younger brother, he forgives his father because Rocky still thinks that his father is cool, even if Boy doesn’t and Boy doesn’t want to ruin that for
1. Cops (tv show)
Cops is known for the Bad Boys theme song. It first aired on March 11, 1989 and it showed on the Fox network. Cops showed pretty much what the police officers, constables and sheriff's deputies patrolling streets go through. They come across car thieves, drug pushers, sex-trade workers, and violent thugs. They put cameras on real officers and send them out. (Wikipedia, 2017) The police image is shown in a positive way. It shows what our officers go through. This show represents
In his sophomore film, Julien Donkey-Boy (1999), director Harmony Korine tunes in to the psychotic perspective of Julien (Ewan Bremner) – a suburban schizophrenic with raisin-black eyes and detachable dentistry – and his almost equally grotesque family, in a disorderly smear of violence, incest, and finally, tragedy. The film 's fragmented narrative structure, with its grainy and hand-held visual style, shudders on to the screen in a fusillade of discursive vignettes, that reflect, not only the digital
Stand by Me when he sheds light on multiple stereotypes in society. Throughout the film, Gordon, Chris, Vern, and Teddy, the main characters in the movie, frequently describe each other with derogatory terms, which characterize stereotypes in American culture. In Reiner’s movie, the four young boys follow the stereotypes that society establishes for boys and men. The main characters in the film display various stereotypes that society holds for both men and women. Reiner’s film shows that some men
The film “The Englishman’s boy” is a screen adaptation of Guy Vanderhaeghe’s book of the same name. Vanderhaeghe also wrote the screenplay for the film. The book was based on the true story of the Cypress Hills massacre in 1873. I will provide a summary of the film’s most important plot points, characters and background information. The movie covers the horrors that were witnessed in Cypress Hills and shows the inhumane way Native Americans have been treated since colonization, in 1873 and through
cultures. In the movie, Ma Vien en Rose (My Life in Pink), director Alain Berliner highlights a family shunned by their own community in retaliation of their seven year old transgender son, Ludovic. There are several interesting aspects within this film that highlight the “fear” of difference. Also, the confusion and anger embedded throughout the movie in regards to misapprehended gender based expectations. The question that Ludovic continues to question throughout the film is, “Am I a boy or a girl”?
