Chasing Amy is a movie that uncovers the hardships we find within the confusion of love and sex in our lives. Sometimes the line between love and sex seems almost invisible, but the differences and complications of understanding that are quite clear in this movie. The issues presented in Chasing Amy are directly related to the discussions of “Politics of Sexuality” as well as everyday life in our culture.

This film highlights the flaws of humanity in a western world. The films ability to touch on topics of classism, prostitution, and alcoholism makes the content mature and unlike typical western films. This revolutionary and innovative western created a foundation for many future films. The sophistication of the content, and lack of adherence to the production code makes this film an “adult”

One of the norms Kincaid questions is virginity, whether sex is actually meaningful, that it could be enjoyable without the feeling of love. As a nineteen-year-old girl, Lucy is new to what a sexual relationship could have

We tested three different brands of bubble gum. The three brands are Bubble Yum, Bazooka, and Bubblicious. There were 3 people that blew bubbles for our experiment. My Mom, Dad, and myself were the three bubble blowers. We each read a couple of articles on the best way to blow big bubbles. We then chewed each piece of gum for three minutes before blowing the bubble. We used a ruler to measure the diameter of the bubble in centimeters. Through my research, I believe that the bubble gum with the highest sugar content will blow the biggest bubble.

The film Mosquita y Mari directed and created by Aurora Guerrero is a coming of age story set about Huntington Park in the southeastern part of Los Angeles. It uses tense scenery that seeks to explore what it means to be in a romantic relationship versus a close friendship. Furthermore, upon legitimizing Yolanda and Mari`s relationship the film provokes the audience to ask the question, “If they are queer, what is keeping them in the closet?” This question is most effectively answered by examining how Yolanda and Mari`s ethnicity, locational, and immigrant descendant identities intersect to keep them in the closet.

Sex and relationships are recurring themes throughout the genre and are essential elements teen narrative. Their portrayal ranges from comic interactions to serious exchanges and emotional liberation from restrictive forces. Timothy Shary explains the significance of these two thematic threads: “Romantic longing and sexual curiosity take on heightened intensity and profundity for youth in the adolescent years struggle to recognise and cope with the emotional and psychological changes”(2002). The character’s experience with sex are usually comedic and linked to sexual discovery and loss of virginity, which are continually present topics in the narrative. It is is often a determinant that shapes teen identity, as well as providing a commentary on societal questions regarding a desire of intimacy. The sexual exploits between the teen male and female investigates teen behavior and the conceptualization of feelings and emotions in their discovery of identity.

I watched the movie Bad Sugar which was about Diabetes and how it was affecting the indians living along the Gila River and surrounding areas. I enjoyed this video very much and found it helpful to understand more about Diabetes and how it is affecting the native american population along the Gila River. The three most important points that were made in the video were the dollars that are spent each year to treat diabetes, how income plays a role, and how there is a strong correlation between the lack of a water supply and the significant increase of Diabetes along the Gila river .

The question we are answering is what is courage? Courage to me is when you fight back or you stand up for what you believe in no matter the consequence or outcome. The gum boots video showed us how the africans were forced to work in mines with little to no pay. The africans were not aloud to speak to each other so they developed another way of communication to get things across to each other. Instead of speaking aloud they made different kinds of noises to communicate with each other. They didn't fight back or stand up for anything they believe in but they worked together and found a way to communicate with each other when they weren't supposed to. To me that takes courage.Sarafina was young black girl fighting for freedom against the racist

Warwick Thornton is an Australian Aboriginal film director that focuses his films on the struggles of Aboriginal people. Thornton was born in Alice Springs and spent most his childhood days living in a small Aboriginal community where he experienced the discrimination against Aboriginal people and the violence that existed in the community. Through experiencing discrimination and violence in his childhood, Thornton decided to learn cinematography to show Australians and people around the world the struggles an Aboriginal person faces and that it is still present in this day and age. Thornton may be considered an auteur as he has his own distinct style of camera work, his hand-held camera and the use of long takes which are both present in his

I think the movie it titled “More than Honey”, because the director is trying to make a statement about the important role bees play in our society, and how he we grossly underestimate the importance of preserving them. The movie provides us, the viewers, with some of statistics to illustrate the importance of bees in our world. For example, we learn that 80% of plant species require bees to be pollinated, a third of our food wouldn’t exist without bees, and the value of bees pollination is over $15 billion.

The best way to his heart is through his stomach, isn’t that what the saying? Tita was passionately in love with Pedro, but her controlling Mother forbids her from marrying him. When Pedro marries her sister, Tita engages herself in cooking and discovers she can transfer her emotion through the dishes she was preparing. Ultimately, infecting everyone with her heartbreak. This movie was everything you want in a romantic drama: engaging, heartfelt, and mischievous. The craving for love was present from beginning to end, while the appetizing love affair had one coming back for more, and lastly raw emotion was garnished through-out. After, watching the film I began to question the significance of the title. My interpretation was water is tasteless

When choosing the works for my portfolio, I wanted to display films that required a lot of hardship. Each video took upwards of 100 hours to complete and they all were created solely by my own imagination. Most of the obstacles that were encountered were due to lack of man power. My parents and my brother are always helping me with my projects and I rarely have help outside of that. Out of all of the videos, "Camel" makes me smile the most. It was the first video production that I created while in high school and the last I created with my brother. I wrote the story based on my relationship with my older brother. I have always been the bossy of the two and he constantly rolls his eyes at me. I wanted to create this film based on us before he
