The film “Juvies” really made me think about how the criminal justice system treats young children. Before watching the film, I was under the impression that children were treated fairly and with care when they commit a crime. After all, they are just kids. However, to my surprise, this was not the case. Many children have been cheated by the law because they are put through the adult system and are not given a fair trial. Meanwhile, these children are expected to make the rational decisions that an adult would make. There is biological evidence that kids do not have the ability to control impulsive behavior because their brains are underdeveloped. Thus, I believe this system is extremely unfair because children are not protected in adult prisons, which makes it very difficult for them to succeed once they are released back into the free world.

Anything containing oil has been an increasing problem to the environment and to people. The toxicants that the oil produce harms people with their health. In the film Fuel, the director Josh Tickell talks about how crops can produce fuel, which produces cleaner air and is safer for the public. There are also other ways that Biofuel could be produced, such as adding human waste onto algae. The way that society utilizes oil is hurting the world, which in fact is affecting the human population and environment, but people only realize it until it is too late. With biofuel people would not be in danger and it could be produced without struggling to find oil.

The film Fruitvale Station written and directed by Ryan Coogler, tells the story of a young African American man that was shot and killed by a white police officer on a subway platform. The film is based on the true story of Oscar Grant, who at the age of 22 years old was killed by a police officer on the Fruitvale station platform in San Francisco, California. The film shows how Oscar lived a tough life, but still had a caring heart. At the start of the New Year, Oscar wanted to change his life, and make better decisions. Unfortunately, he was a part of a situation that led to him being in police custody, and shot by a police officer. Oscar Grant’s death caused many protests and riots in the Bay Area against police brutality.

Spike Lee the director creates character in such a way that they all have some sort of racist anger within them. Every interaction between the African American and the whites results in mounting tensions. Some openly threw out ethnic slurs, and barely suppressed the rage that festered within them waiting to come out at any moment. Lee does this in order to show that any small spark could result in a huge conflagration that could burn anything to the ground, be it relationships or friendships. This is the main focus of the

To begin, I would like to summarize the movie. At the beginning of this movie we see a man named Joe who has made the decision to go on a juice fast. Now the reason Joe has chosen this is because he is not only over weight, but also suffering from a disease called ____. Now Joe had considered his problems and came to the conclusion that his body is naturally made to where it can heal itself, but the problem was his body was not getting the nutrients it needed to do this. When speaking to some doctors and specialist on this subject this thought was confirmed. These people said that realistically we consume far too many processed foods and not enough of the nutritious foods we actually need. Also, too often the fruits and vegies that we do consume

Based on the previous Carl Sagan’s novel about an adolescent scientist’s determinations to make “Contact” with life itself beyond just our universe. The most famous quote that Sagan tells the story of this movie is that there is “billions and billions of stars up there”. The fascinating science fiction film/thriller of that century, Contact, combines many concepts that do not usually go together or are thought about in relation to each other. That being the concept of faith, politics, and most importantly science. This movie was released on July 11th, 1997 by producers Robert Zemeciks and Steve Starkey. Dr.Ellie Arroway played by Jodie Foster rushes to translate a message that they think could be coming from the Vega star system. When contact at first happens, Dr.Ellie Arroway communicates with the constricting National Security Advisor Kitz who is played by James Woods. After this unravels, they go in to see the possible problems with occurrence of this event. An out breaking message is discovered in the signal, but the question is will Arroway be the only one to be able to solve it or will there be more involved to help including theory’s and arguments? Science versus religion is one of the main topics and many topics of this movie which I can agree on as I watched this thriller. Ellie doesn’t believe in god and doesn’t have a set religion and Palmer does so they clash personalities a lot throughout Contact.

When it comes to the film industry, entertainment is the tool used to acquire what is desired, money. The main goal for filmmakers when they create a film is to attain money in addition to the money spent to make the movie. Therefore, in some films that they like to base off of true accounts, it is somewhat necessary to dramatize or embellish the story to really tug at the heartstrings of the films audience. They achieve this goal by the use of dramatic music, ambient lighting, and a small amount of tweaked diction. The Fighter is an excellent example of this dramatization in action because throughout the film the characters are faced with a multitude of decisions that must be made. The choices they make require the characters to choose

Fight Club is a unique film that has many different interpretations consisting of consumerist culture, social norms, and gender roles. However, this film goes deeper and expresses a Marxist ideology throughout; challenging the ruling upper-class and a materialist society. The unnamed narrator, played by Ed Norton, represents the materialist society; whereas Tyler Durden, played by Brad Pitt, represents the person challenging the controlling upper-class. Karl Marx believed that the capitalist system took advantage of workers, arguing that the interests of the upper-class class conflicted with that of the common worker. Marx and Durden share the same views about the upper-class oppressing the materialist, common worker. By interpreting Fight Club through a Marist lens, the viewer is able to realize the negative effects a capitalist society has on the common worker by seeing the unnamed narrator’s unfulfilled and material driven life in contrast to the fulfilling life of Durden who challenges the upper-class. The unnamed narrator initially fuels the upper-class dominated society through his materialistic and consumeristic tendencies; however, through the formation of his alter ego—Durden—the unnamed narrator realizes the detriment he is causing to himself and society. He then follows the guide of Durden’s and Marx’s views and rectifies his lifestyle by no longer being reliant on materials. Also by forming fight club, which provides an outlet, for himself and the common worker,

Part 1 - In American author's 2009 book, The Help, the primary thesis is the relationship between Black maids and white households in Jackson, Mississippi during the early 1960s. The story is really told from three perspectives, Aibileen and Minny are Black women, both maids, and Skeeter is the nickname of Eugenia Phelan, daughter of a prominent White family. Skeeter has just finished school and hopes to become a writer. In general, the relationship between the Black maids and the White employers is six sided: On one side we have the White employers who have three views: 1) Their personal and private beliefs that can range from extreme scorn and bias to kindness regarding race; 2) Their public persona that must have the "proper" attitude about Blacks and "the help," and 3) Their employer attitude, which is condescending and parental. The Black view also has three segments: 1) Their personal and private beliefs that usually range from understanding not all Whites are the same and an extreme love and empathy for the White children for whom they care; 2) The public persona that is deferential, polite, and stoic to their White bosses; and 3) Their attitude and view among the Black community, which usually separates the "poor and ignorant but rich" White souls from the Black view of family and common sense. All in all, the relationship is contentious, phony, and based on economic advantage.
