Homework And Oppression: Film Analysis

This movie was 100% true and it got a lot of movie awards, but this movie gave me a lot of information a boat slaves and how they had to live out in the cotton field. Ruby showed grit to all of the people ( Grit means chorage ).When she started to pray that showed me that she cared a lot a boat people. Rosa was the same,but she did not show a lot of how she believed in others. In conclusion, I have a great love for these long stories and I think that both women have changed the world.

It was overwhelming and made me strikingly emotional. First, I walked into a dungeon where a slave was imprisoned. Afterward, I passed through a ship en route to the New World, where I actually stepped down into the "belly of the beast" on the slave ship. There were about a 100 or more life-sized replicas that are presented as slaves and how they were stored in chains. Several were showcased as dead; the accompanying sounds I could hear moaning, crying out, and different languages being spoken. As a result, I was left awfully impacted after feeling the sense of horror on how they were treated.

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

I was lucky enough to be able to view the film two weeks before its release, and I can tell you first hand that there are a great amount of changes to the movie. I think that some of these changes positively affected the quality of the movie, whereas other changes affected the movie in a negative way. I also think that some of these changes did not aid in expressing the important message of the story, which is that freedom of choice is important, and we shouldn't take it for granted.

The first scene in the movie I thought was powerful was the scene where kids with HIV were forced to leave school due to the fear of the parents and the ignorance they had back then about not understanding how HIV were transmitted. Dwayne Maori a 12 year old hemophiliac infected with HIV from Tennessee was forced to quit school due to the fear of other parents and the ignorance that they had about AIDS. In this particular scene the parents were protesting outside the school with big poster boards, when Dwayne Maori left in the car there was a parent shouting out loud that he is trying to kill everyone but the parent is not going to let him kill her baby. Others were shot or got their houses burnt to the ground. I think that this scene is important and powerful because this scene tells us how one person’s word can lead to so many fears in the society (when president Reagan re-enforces that AIDS can spread by casual contact). This scene also showed us how scared people were about this new virus. At the same time, this scene tells us that HIV doesn’t only affect the person infected by it, it affects their families as well. This scene is effective because it allows us to learn that when these new

The history of African Americans in early Hollywood films originated with blacks representing preconceived stereotypes. D.W. Griffith’s 1915 film, Birth of a Nation, stirred many controversial issues within the black community. The fact that Griffith used white actors in blackface to portray black people showed how little he knew about African Americans. Bosley Crowther’s article “The Birth of Birth of a Nation” emphasizes that the film was a “highly pro-South drama of the American Civil War and the Period of Reconstruction, and it glorified the role of the Ku Klux Klan” (76). While viewing this film, one would assert that the Ku Klux Klan members are heroic forces that rescue white women from sexually abusive black men. Griffith

The film was difficult to watch at times. As an observer and someone who has never been in the situations that Shangra, Stephanie, and Sheila all faced, I found myself getting frustrated with the girls because I felt like they kept getting themselves into these bad situations. However, when the film was able to go more into their personal histories and backgrounds, I was able to better understand where the girls were coming from. It was hard to see the hurt that the girls were facing at home and then how they turned it around and ended up hurting themselves more by participating in crime and violence.

The movie had me hooked, there was a lot of suspense, there were some parts when you were stunned to see what just happened. All the killing and violence were good techniques the directors used, it made the movie better and realistic, as I said before.

Gentrification is the term that explains the process of renovating and improving homes, or a district to conform to middle-class preferences. As viewed in the documentary Class Divide, a neighborhood in Manhattan, New York called West Chelsea has already undergone a major shift in their community. The addition of schools such as The Avenues, and tourist attractions like the High Line has generated a new identity for the community. Children who are born in poverty in the United States have a harder time getting out of poverty than those children who come from other developed countries. This is due to various institutions such as The Avenues that have created a gap between social classes, making it harder for the lower class to achieve success. Throughout the documentary, the storyline constantly shifts to represent two different point of views: the upper class and the lower class. Within these different points of views, the central themes become evident: income inequality, opposing views of privileged and underprivileged students, and the gentrification of a community.

It opened up my eyes to the horrors and truths of how slaves were treated. I witnessed the punishments received by the said “Incompetent” slaves, the terrible lifestyles of the salves, and the embarrassing ways my ancestors acted. The way I look at slavery will forever be changed for film has shown me the gruesome details of the lives of slaves in the 1840’s.

I attended the “Hardcoar about Social Justice Documentary Series” about minimalism on November 14, 2017 in the HCC Digital Auditorium. The event involved a documentary movie about minimalism followed up by a small panel of people who live a minimalist life style who answered questions. The movie presented an alternative to our modern consumer culture and the idea that money and material goods are the source of our happiness. The movie mainly used a variety of anecdotal stories from minimalists who changed their life styles, as well as scientists and economists who explained the benefit of minimalism. The panel didn’t last long, and just answered two questions. They talked a bit about how living with zero waste can tie in with minimalism.

The film was a great depiction of what women experience in society. For instance, after her was sexually assaulted he was asked why he was wearing a short sleeve shirt and shorts. More simply, the film illustrated how women are abused and blamed for the abuse they experience. In addition, I enjoyed how the film displayed the way women are typically treated. The film showed how women are treated but it is often overlooked because society has normalized the behavior.

A word of advice to my fellow UN KENBATT and UNMISS peacekeepers as a whole is that to be well informed is being forearmed, in fact you won’t be compelled to haphazardly become inquisitive over minor matters regarding the principles which you are obliged to abide by when in your line of duty. On the other hand, knowledge annotated to experience breeds confidence upon encountering real life scenarios that demands for your intervention as a peace keeper. Furthermore, there is always room at the peak provided you perpetually go an extra mile to serve humanity whose living conditions have been rendered

Over 400 hundred years there has been slavery, racism, and discrimination in America with blacks, and other minorities. A famous man once said “I refuse to accept the view that mankind is so tragically bound to the starless midnight of racism and war that the bright daybreak of peace and brotherhood can never become a reality... I believe that unarmed truth and unconditional love will have the final word” – Martin Luther King Jr (brain quote). The movies ‘Miracle at St. Anna’ directed by Spike Lee, and ’12 Years a Slave’ directed by Steve McQueen both show the struggle African Americans went through during a tough racial period in American history. Even today in Modern society African Americans still deal with racism. Spike

Peacekeepers have been deployed into regions in conflict with the purpose of creating conditions of lasting peace. They are mostly stationed in areas of Africa and the Middle East, but they are also stationed in Haiti and in Europe. Some of the conflicts they try to remedy include human rights violations, environmental damage, and child abuse. For the most part, peacekeepers are a huge help in stabilizing a country or region in conflict and are beneficial to the public. However, some peacekeepers abuse their power as a result of minimal supervision. There have been reports of peacekeepers using excessive force, being corrupt and sexually abusing civilians. In the case of excessive force, the peacekeepers don’t always act out of malice,
