Sports have always been my passion throughout my life. Because of this, Not Just A Game: Power, Politics & American Sports, had the biggest impact on me. Throughout the film, they discuss a number of important topics that include race, deviance, media, gender, history, violence, and militarism. The movie captured the complexity of sports, in so doing it; the film discusses the negotiation, the compromise, and the power game that is in American sports. According to Jessie Owens, "Politics has no part to play on the field of strife of competition"(1).

The movie that we viewed in class is 42: The Jackie Robinson Story directed by Brian Helgeland. It was released in 2013 as a pg-13 movie and is 2 hours 8 minutes long. This movie is a historical non-fiction drama about the baseball player, Jackie Robinson, and the struggles he endured as being a black man playing in major league baseball in the 1940s. The theme of the movie highlights the importance of relationships between people, with Jackie Robinson as the ultimate applicant for desegregated baseball. This movie’s purpose is to not make us feel shameful from our national shortcomings but feel pride in the triumph of Jackie Robinson.

The movie Field of Dreams came out in 1989 and was directed by Phil Alden Robinson and story written by W.P. Kinsella. The movie is about a guy named Ray Kinsella, and he lives in Iowa with his wife Annie and daughter Karin, with their yard being a farm to produce crops to make money. One day when Ray was out on the farm, he heard a voice saying “If you build it, he will come”. He went inside to tell Annie, but they didn’t know what it meant. A few days later, he still kept hearing the voice say “If you build it he will come”, and they imagined a baseball field in the middle of his farm and crops and saw Shoeless Joe Jackson. Ray then thought that if he builds a baseball field, Shoeless Joe Jackson might come back to play again.

The movie 42 is based upon the life of an African- American man named Jackie Robinson. He was the first African- American to play Major League Baseball on

Sometimes when you watch a movie that you have seen before, you catch something or see something that you didn’t see or realize before. A League of Their Own is one of those films for me, it’s a film that didn’t jump to my mind when I received this assignment to examine the ethics in movies, but upon watching it again I found it was a great film to show examples of ethics. It allows us the viewers to see and understand the different ethical systems in each character. The movie is staged during the World War II, during the World War II all of the major league baseball players where drafted to fight in the war. Consequently, the MLB used females to fill the teams to keep an American institution going.

Movies are an integral part of American life. They make us laugh and in a blink of an eye make us cry. But above all, movies tell a story, a story about not merely the characters in the flick, but about each and every one of us in the audience. No matter what the plot, purpose or theme of the movie, there isn’t a single person who can honestly say that they can’t relate to at least one element of the movie in the one hundred and twenty some odd minutes of intense sound and color. Baseball is America’s pastime, America’s national game. Thus a movie about baseball captivates the essential American spirit in its purest form. Personally I feel that Field of Dreams, starring Kevin Costner as Ray Kinsella

There are always losses to each pleasant situation and unfortunately in the 1990 film directed by Penny Marshall, Awakenings, this theme appears throughout. In a chronically ill hospital where Dr. Malcolm Sayer is recruited with little to no experience with people, he works with multiple patients that are in a sleep-like state including Mr. Leonard Lowe. Set in the late sixties, there were not many medical advances that already existed to help these patients but Dr. Sayer makes unheard-of discoveries. Many awakenings occur in this film, but with these renewals comes gains and losses. Dr. Sayer, the staff, and the patients inhabited in this Brooklyn hospital gain and lose different things with their explorations.

In the movie Field of Dreams, Ray’s true vocation was to host the baseball players on his corn field in order for Terrance Mann and Archie Graham to get the closure they need in their lives. Once he heard the mysterious voice, he knew that there was something that he was supposed to do in his life, but was not quite sure of what it is. However, as the movie progressed, it became clear to Ray that no matter what difficulties were going on, such as struggling to pay the bills and having his friends tell him to get rid of the farm, he needed to keep the field. If Ray had not become a farmer, which he originally assumed was his vocation, the baseball players, particularly Mr. Kinsella, would not have been on the field. Therefore, Ray would not

Although living in a world of uncertainty can be somewhat intriguing, it is even better if you step back and experience the result of your actions take place firsthand. For example, when you are done with school for the day, you go home, and you forget about all of the tests you had to take, and most likely not receiving feedback about your grade for a couple of weeks. Unlike in a sporting game, a typical school day does not give you the opportunity to witness the instantaneous consequence of your actions. The poem “In Baseball” by Baron Wormser places the reader in the stands of a game, watching the ball ebb and flow. “In Baseball” depicts the difference between an athlete and the theoretical “they.”

The 1972 movie “awakening” was about a caring and dedicated physician in the hospital who devoted his life to help the person in needs. Dr. Malcolm Sayer the main character of this movie was working with the patients’ who survived the encephalitis lethargic epidemic. While working with these patients dr. Sayer founds out that there are certain stimuli that can reach beyond patients’ respective catatonic states.

The selection of film, I have chosen, is based upon my infatuation with the very intriguing storyline it offers. At first, one may believe that the storyline is nothing more than another movie concerning football. However, the storyline offers a combination of a beloved American sport, along with touching accounts of the lives of each main character, as they dealt with grief and despair independently. Most importantly, the storyline depicts the

The film Requiem for the American Dream is a documentary that informs its audience, the American middle class, that the American Dream has died. The film was produced over a four-year period and was later turned into a book containing three times as much material as the film and became a New York Times bestseller of the same name (Gold 2016). Considering the length of time this took to create, and the topics it covers, it is relatively short at only 73 minutes. Despite the time constraint, the film conveys its message in a way that is understandable to the audience. The principle filmmakers are Kelly Nyks, Peter Hutchison, and Jared Scott, all of which have worked with Chomsky in past ventures according to the website IMDb.com. The star of this documentary is Noam Chomsky, while he is on screen he is shown seated, with a relaxed manner, offscreen he is the narrator. The video has ten parts that describe how the American Dream has died, beginning with the concept “Reducing Democracy” where Chomsky tells viewers that the “founding fathers” drafted the U.S. Constitution with the intention to protect wealthy individuals against too much democracy. Next, he addresses “Shaping of Ideology” this highlights a memo, sent from Lewis F. Powell Jr. in 1971 detailing the attack on the American economic system, stressing that the young are being taken away from the ideology of the status quo (citation needed). Following that is “Redesign the Economy” this part is about how before the 70s

The natural is a movie that is talking about a baseball player who is called Roy Hobbes who wanted to be the best and break records but he had some obstacles that delay his dream as he is meeting with many different persons that are some of them are evil that are getting him down and some are good that helps him to improve. Roy Hobbes was very talented but he was shot by a fan and after 16 years he came back to a professional career and after some conflicts with the coach he became the best player on his team and led them to win the championship and helped his manager Bob to save his club.

The movie “Awakenings” tells the true story of doctor Malcolm Sayer’s (in reality Oliver Sack) experience in treating patients who were said to be catatonic and chronic. They were in the hospital for decades with no signs of improvement, many of the nurses and doctors had basically given up on seeing any way to treat or cure them. One doctor who studied similar patients didn’t even see them as living. Sayer observed each of the patients and was able to see that something sparked emotion and movement in them, with this he knew that there had to be a way to treat them. He began to administer the experimental drug L-Dopa on the patients, and as if it was a miracle, all of the patients began to walk and talk.
