Analyzing The Movie 'Back To The Future'

This film made me think about how relevant this theme is to the society we live in today as it is hard for poorer people to have the same opportunities and experiences as wealthier people because they can't afford it. Instead of everyone being equal, there is still imbalance within our society as money separates us. John Key, who is the New Zealand prime minister is a good example of this as he only caters to the needs of the wealthy people which he instead should be catering to the needs of poorer people. Poverty is a huge issue in New Zealand, which can be a result of not having enough money to buy food. Children go to school hungry and don't have the brain food to focus and work to the best of their abilities. Because of this they are likely to get a lower paid job and it is like a circle like in the film of the rich people staying rich and the poor people staying poor. John Key recently invested 26 million

The first impact the film tries to point out is the control of capitalism over society. The town is controlled by two gangs, Siebei’s gang and Ushitora’s gang, and everyone in the town is intimidated by the gangs, including people who work for the government like the sheriff, Hansuke. This example shows exactly how

The main conflict involved all characters that struggling for survival during the Great depression due to the insecurity of jobs, uncertainty about future and no enough money. One of the conflicts was man vs. society in the story. Crooks, who was a black man with crippled back, segregated from other farm workers. He did not allow sleeping in the bunkhouse with the rest of people. Crooks consistently discriminated and considered as a second class citizen which lived separately in the stable with horses. Furthermore, He had called names and abused by others. He had not even given respect to having name and society will stay the same which he could not attain American Dream.

I think it accurately portrayed the hardships families went through during the Great Depression. At first, everything was fine and James J. Braddock was a successful boxer with a good amount of money. Then, the Great Depression hits and Braddock struggles to support his family. He continues to box, but it is difficult for him to support his family off what little he makes. He tries to find other jobs, but struggles because he broke his hand in a boxing match, making manual labor especially painful for him. I thought this part of the movie was extremely sad. Braddock was trying so hard to support his family, but he could barely manage. He continued to box even though he was not healthy, as he had a broken hand and was extremely malnourished. His wife was always stressed and the Depression was a huge strain of their marriage. Their kids were young and didn’t really understand what was going on, but they still suffered from starvation and illness. I really liked the end of the movie when Braddock receives a large sum of money after winning a huge boxing match. He was able to provide for his family once again. I think this really shows that hard work eventually pays

The main purpose of the film is to educate people on the truths about the life of former slaves in post-Reconstruction era. The major themes of the film is that racism still existed then but more

The Depression had many effects on the movie. All of the men down at the docks are very eager and most likely desperate the way they try to show there face to the man picking only a handful of them. The actions of these men are because they are unemployed and if they have family they are most likely struggling keeping enough food on the table for them to eat. Jobs were very hard to find and even if they did get them, it wasn’t like winning the lottery, it was hardly enough to pay ends meat. One day when James comes home he finds out his son has stolen a slab of salami for the local meat store. This is a very sad scene because after Jim finds out the true reasoning behind his son’s the audience finds out that he is really just scared of being sent away because he knows the times are tough and isn’t sure his father can provide for him and his two other siblings. His son stealing the meat is also symbolic for how and why the crime rate rose during the great depression. Another scene that represents the Depression’s affect on the Braddock’s family and there peers is all there kids together have one birthday party, all of there friends kids all share a birthday with one cake and little to no presents. The depression has hit all of the families so hard they don’t have enough money for individual birthday

It shows how the book is informative on how people treat slaves and whites as not equal, and also sees the daily/ extreme lengths people will go to seek

For one, they had to start a new life with no money because they spent it all getting to California, and when they got to California, everybody hated them. The root of all of the this was being forced off of their land by the banks and the large landowners. This caused a snowball effect, where everything that happened in the book happened because they got kicked out of their land. They would have never gone to California, never had to sell most of their belongings, never had to work out in the blistering heat for a meager twenty cents an hour. The root of their hardships is not the Dust Bowl, or the Great Depression, because even though it might been part of the reason they had to travel to California for work, it didn’t make the bank or landowners kick the farmers off the land. They made the decisions for themselves, and they could have chosen to be sympathetic to the families, who had no jobs, and no home after being kicked off the

One of the key elements in the story is the subject of racism. The book deals with Southern racism during the 1930’s. The story shows that injustice happens because of race. It always shows that just because a person is of a certain race doesn’t mean they are

The two major ones seen throughout the film being police brutality and racism. Although racism in America, or anywhere for that matter, might never come to an end, this film does a good job of bringing light to the subject. This film lets the audience that police brutality and racism are major problems still. While this film is also comedic it provides a realistic example of what happens in the society today, and what was happening when the movie was made in

The main theme of the film is slavery, greed, and tribalism, American life characteristics on a par with apple pie and baseball. The film is based on a true story of educated carpenter, musician and family man from New York State who, in 1841, was abducted and sold into slavery deep in the south –--a gruesome common phenomenon in 19th century America.

It shows our generation as lacking spirit and recognized by consumerism. The economic element plays a huge role in this film. The director is trying to prove that society cannot survive without material possessions. We are built on consumerism. The more possessions a person owns, the greater the economy is. The movie shows that consumers are attached to material possessions and that materialism and consumerism go hand in hand. Society has adopted the values that possessions are the highest value in life and that the only way to be successful is to have a large amount of nice material possessions. These items control the people that society has become and people spend their whole lives trying to find their identity through material items.

The Southern Plantations heavily depended upon the institution and losing it would be severely detrimental to their lifestyle. I personally was touched by the benevolence of Bass and the risks taken by the shopkeeper to rescue Northup. The movie places such a great deal of importance on the atrocities on slavery that the positive actions are juxtaposed to the negative actions to a great extent. I would only recommend this film to someone without a faint heart. Gruesome scenes of abuse are depicted, and the verbal abuse is very astonishing.

The rich people control and use the poor. The ghetto-dwellers have to struggle to stay alive by working, begging and stealing. They pay for things like food and bus rides with time, not money. And their lifespan decreases each time they pay for anything. In the movie, they make less time for more work, and the prices of things keep rising until they cannot pay anymore. Then the poor are found dead on the streets because their clock ran

In contrast to a utopia, according to the power point provided in class a dystopia is “an imaginary place where people live dehumanized and often fearful lives.” The movies The Matrix, 1999 and Avatar, 2009 overall seem to me as dystopian films. To show how each film portrays the different aspects of perspectives on the future, and a dystopia, I’m going to use the settings, actions, and outcomes of each film.
