There would even be times when he would have to get out of his jeep and walk, or row to the patients home.

For this paper I want to focus on some important points of the movie McFarland because this movie for me has some really important topics it addresses. In addition, one of the these important topics that I am going to be emphasizing on and elaborating more, is on the issue of language assumption due to race.

These are some of the most essential issues that I found to be more shown in this movie, therefore wanted to expand on them a bit more.

“The Mission” is a film that gives a historically accurate depiction of the events that took place in South America around 1750, displaying the jesuit missions and their attempt at expanding missionary ventures in the area. These missions foresaw the Jesuits going to uncharted areas of the jungle inhabited by the Guarani people, demonstrating the significance assimilating the Guarani people meant to the Jesuits. Additionally, the Guarani people were accurately displayed as a self-sustained society where basic components such as: productivity, protection, justice regulations and a form of a leader was evident in the form of their King. Nonetheless, the Guarani were an isolated group of individuals who were secluded to the outside world; their only contact with outside personnelles were slave traders who would put them into forced slavery for personal benefits. Not to mention the “Treaty of Madrid”, which resulted in the social and political disputes between the, Portuguese, Spanish and Catholic community; manifesting in the form of territorial conflicts and misunderstandings amongst the three vigorous societies, where each have a different purpose for the Guarani people.

There are always two sides to every coin. For example, without evil, there can be no good. Is being a good person all about the things one does or is it about the reason one does the things they do? There 's good and bad in everyone. Humanity isn 't perfect, and our lives are so complex. In the film titled Nightcrawler, Louis Bloom shows viewers first-hand what it is like to be a journalist in the fast pace city of Los Angeles. Throughout the film, Louis attempts to manipulate the other characters and uses their weakness against them to get whatever he desires. Even though a person may be considered as a bad person they still could possibly commit actions that a good person normally world and vice-versa.

But the thing that separates a good person from a bad person is that a good person learns from those mistakes and never repeats those same mistakes again. Making mistakes is part of what makes us human. They not only help one learn from our experiences, but they also help shape one into the individual they would like to become. A good person is comfortable with both their strengths and weaknesses, treat others with respect, and are aware that their inner intentions are truly what

In 1977, two performers came to a stadium to rehearse Farewell My Concubine, one of the most classical and well-known Peking Opera plays. The play narrated a romantic yet tragic story between the king of Chu and the concubine Yu Ji: when the king was defeated by the eventual founder of the Han Dynasty, he asked Yu Ji to flee for the sake of her own safety. While Yu Ji refused to leave the king alone, she performed the very last time for the king and cut her throat with his sword, being faithful to him until death. Although entitled with the same name, Chen Kaige’s film directed in 1993 was well beyond a love story. The film frequently referred to the play Farewell My Concubine; however, it advanced the play in depicting China’s mid-20th history, conveying values to audiences, and hinting characters’ relationships.
