Fresh

Overall, I thoroughly enjoyed the movie, however, I did have some small issues with the film. The movie was entertaining with a fun plot line and quality

To start off I felt this was a good movie overall. One scene I felt that had stood out was when the black man was showed the pattern on the cloth showing that there was a house he can escape to with his daughter. This scene kind of gave us a hint that many people probably knew about the house but was too scared to escape in fear of being caught. I felt that the black man was very determined to get his daughter away safely no matter what so much that he went in to unknown water just to hide from the slave masters. I was a little confused at the begging because I thought slave work consisted of picking cotton or some other hardship. There was a scene that stood out to me on a personal note. The scene were the black man was hanged and his daughter was watching as this occurred.

In conclusion I feel that the film was a great addition to the story and helped a great amount to the understanding of what was happening. Both the film and the story had their similarities but they both came to the same conclusion point. All in all I think that the the film and the story summarized the plot very strongly and that they were very detailed in describing all of the conflict between the different

The critic reviews were mainly negative some critics said “The filmmakers trot out slavery as a general sins-of-the-past signifier and then have no idea what to really do with such a painful real-world

As said before, the film was advanced for its time because of its racial representation. The film premiered at the end of the civil rights movement. It featured a black man as the main protagonist. He was the hero of the story instead of the villain. This was a huge step towards more diversity in films. This, unfortunately, is still a problem in movies.

The film also gives background information on black facing and speaks upon the black actors that did participate in it. In my opinion the movie became pretty poetic, in a spoken word form, when it began to talk about the feelings of men that would entertain whites with their black face performances. These

Michael, nicknamed Fresh is a 12-year old kid running drugs for gangsters. Because he is smart and honest, they respect him. Fresh lives with 11 other children in the spotless, orderly apartment of his aunt. His father has become a street bum, but still meets with Fresh on occasion to play chess.   Fresh's sister is also a junkie who sleeps with the dealers who Fresh sells for.

The movie main point is how Dr. Martin Luther King uses his philosophy and ideology to speak out for those blacks that are vulnerable. He utilized the organization of SNCC and the help of SCLC which letting more people getting involved, to reveal the black consciousness propagating their thoughts of equalities.

Although the dialogue was clever it got a little boring and not exciting at times. It did a brilliant job at using lighting, music and cinematography to better get the message across. If you watch the movie over and over, you would probably learn something new you never noticed about the film before. Almost every scene had some kind of hidden meaning which is good if you watch it a lot. The movie did a good job giving the American Dream it’s distorted truth. You can work every day of your life, but you’ll never be happy unless you have the right relationships and people you care

There were a few instances while watching the film that really made an impact on me. One of these is when the African American woman is assaulted by the White police officer. No one should be treated

While watching this movie, it’s like I could feel what those blacks were feeling. The hate and the disrespect towards them was just ridiculous. How on earth could white people torture and kill blacks? They killed them not because they were poor, but because the color of their skin! Not all white people are rich, as well as not all blacks are poor. But, the way society has viewed blacks, blacks were always dirty worthless peasants. Until leaders like Martin Luther King Jr, stood up for the black community! This movie taught me so much stuff about the black community and how they didn’t have equal rights as the white community. As Samuel L Jackson stated in the movie “When you look at me, you don't see a man, you see a black man.” I understood more how the whites thought. They didn’t care that the two white men raped his daughter. They were more focused on the fact that a black man killed two white men intentionally. I actually think he should have killed them because during that time I’m pretty sure those two men would have gotten no time or little time for the crime that they committed. Even if the two men were black, that wouldn’t have changed his mind. He would have still killed them because they violated and hurt his daughter and while she was crying and screaming for his name, he was nowhere to be found. That made him even angrier. The way that the movie develops its plot is very unique. I never would have thought Jackson

In the movie, Fresh and Chuckie are two young boys that are still in school. They are best friends. These two are different, but they are alike in some ways. Fresh is a little black kid. He runs drugs for drug dealers in his area.

I do believe that as a society, we have come a long way with resolving the issues of racism and discrimination, but these issues still do exist in some places. Although these aren’t everyday battles for individuals like myself, I do believe the movie was still extremely realistic. In some areas of poverty, minority, or low socioeconomic status these are the everyday obstacles for some. Can you imagine having to fear walking down the street or even leaving your house? I think this movie taught me how to be mindful about the situations and the struggles that everyday people face.

The film spoke volume in most community cultures and most ethic groups because of what was going on around the community. Crime was at an all-time high in those days and most still says even in today’s society. The film did not just speak on black on black crime but how society looks down upon the black culture such as; the public school systems when dealing with the education system, the area that an individual live, how an individual is dress, how an individual communicate with us and the crime within that individual area.

In conclusion, this affected me so much was of course the fact the movie revolved around black people and the ghetto. When you're young and haven't experienced any of these things first hand, or even traveled to some of these places where this stuff happens, watching movies was the only way to "experience" it. So unfortunately for a few years of my life I grew up thinking that this was exactly what the ghetto life was about. That it was filled with mostly sociopathic people who had no value of the human life. That people wouldn't think twice to kill you over something so stupid as a joke. Where I grew up, if you mouthed off you got punched in the face. It was a price to pay, but it wasn't as scary as these kids and people had to live through.
