The film La Bamba showcases one of the most important historical moments in not only music history but also Latino music history. The star Lou Diamond, portrays Ritchie Valens originally Valenzuela. Ritchie was a boy who did not grow up in a normal childhood. In the film Valens played by Lou diamond is shown working hard alongside his mother Connie trying to make an honest living. His older brother Bob finds his way to his mother and young brother convincing them both to leave the fruit fields where they were working. While Ritchie should have been at school he was working. Once they moved to Los Angeles, Ritchie started attending high school like a normal teen should. His love for music grew strong as he became fond of a young girl named Donna. Donna was from a middle class white family, while Ritchie was from a poor Latino American family.

The film encompasses a variety of different themes as well. The issues are all connected to the different prejudices that are found in today’s society. Racism is the most dominant theme that is found in the film. Stereotyping is another theme that is viewed throughout this film. An example of this being when Daniel the Hispanic locksmith was changing the locks for the Caucasian District Attorney and his wife. Jean (the wife) assumes that Daniel is a no good gang banger based on the fact that he has tattoos, a shaved head, and is Hispanic. The film

In the 1950’s, the division between adults and youth was growing due to the negativity surrounding the youth culture of the time. The movies, “Rebel Without A Cause” and “Blackboard Jungle, focus on the juvenile delinquency of teenagers of the time such as, the disrespect toward authority, issues of crime, and the uncontrollable emotions. “Rebel Without A Cause” focuses on the teenage rebellion of one teenager who has a very troubled relationship with his father because of the unjustified alienation and victimization he receives. Jim Stark, one of the main characters struggles for the command and support from both of his parents, but specifically his dad. In a scene where Jim was arguing with his mother, Jim looked to his father for support,

In la mission these seems like there is a great unacceptance in the Hispanic community for gay people. Once the community found out that Jesse was gay his peers would bother him and even bother Che for having a gay son.

In today society, many young black males are mistreated by police officers all around the world. In 2015, there were a lot of cases where young black males were beat up and some even died from the physical altercation and misconduct by the police officers. I felt that it was two concepts that show up in Fruitvale Station, which was racial profiling and police brutality. Some statistic from this past year, 91people was killed by police in the month of January alone; at least 1,106 people were killed in 2014. As of February 15, there were at least 136 individuals killed by police. (Fairbanks, 2015).Racial profiling can be defined as discriminatory practice by law enforcement officials of targeting of individuals for crime based on the individual’s

After Whiplash, Damien Chazelle gave another satisfactory work: La La Land to all the lovers of music and drama. In the setting of Los Angeles, two young people fall in love because of their dreams, and are separated due to their distinguishing understandings of dream. In both movies: Whiplash and La La Land, Chazelle made the most of his music ability, utilize jazz music as one of the most significant role throughout whole plot. Meanwhile, during the entire movie, usage of colors and lights is the key point that makes La La Land brilliant.

We all love rock music but sometimes we like to take a break from listening to it and do something different like watch a movie about it. It could be a biopic, a film about a fictitious band or a movie whose soundtrack just rocks. In any of these scenarios the theme is the same, they are built around the greatest genre of all time. There are hundreds of these movies from the past 5 decades, many of which I did not grow up with but got to experience later in life. So as a child from the late 80s, here is the list of my Top 5 Rock ‘n’ Roll Movies.

The one city that I choose to travel in the United States is San Fransico.

The movie La Bamba is based on a truth story of Ritchie Valens, a young rock and roll singer who tragically died in a plane crash at age 17. The film follows Ritchie from his days in Pacoima, California where he and his family make a meager living working on farms to his rise as a star. Ritchie Valens becomes an overnight rock 'n' roll success in 1958, thanks to a love ballad called "Donna" that he wrote for his girlfriend.The film also focuses on Ritchie's friendship and rivalry with his older brother Bob Morales and his relationship with Donna Ludwig, his girlfriend.

I recently watched a biographic movie, October Sky, which is all about you and your early endeavors in the field of rocketry with your team, the Rocket Boys. The amount of determination and courage you shown was absolutely mind blowing despite many odds being stacked against you.

The movie La La Land received an astonishing amount of 14 Oscar nomination because it was such an enjoyable movie (Cunningham, 2017). La La Land was originally a musical that was later made into a movie by the director Damien Chazelle. The movie is about two people, Mia and Sebastian, who unintentionally keep running into each other, literally and figuratively. Over time, they cannot help but fall for one another. Through a series of events, they end up drifting apart to follow their own dreams which lead to the heart wrenching ending. La La Land is a recommendable movie because of its music, character development, and acting.

There has never been a more perfect time to drop a trailer. With the current events surrounding Caitlyn Jenner and her television series ‘I Am Cait’, we’ve gotten a glimpse into the reality of a transgender person. It’s one of the biggest, and most scrutinized, topics of today. Most people today are far more accepting gender reassignment surgery than they were around the time this film takes place, and it is that reason that this film fascinating to me.

Whip Whitaker, a pilot who is introduced early as a substance user, starts off his morning with a typical flight from Orlando to Atlanta. Shortly after take-off, Whip realizes that the flight would be anything but normal. The plane starts to fly erratically, and Whip is required to make quick, life-saving decisions; and he does so while being under the influence of alcohol and cocaine. While the plane ends up crashing, Whip’s quick decisions saved a great amount of lives that day, with a small number of six people dying. While in the hospital, Whip meets an addict named Nicole, who is being hospitalized for overdosing on heroin. Whip later runs into Nicole when she is getting evicted from her apartment, and they spike a romance and she comes to stay with him at his family farm. Nicole tries to become clean, and leaves when Whip continues abusing. Whip goes to trial for the plane crash, and is about to get away free, but admits to two alcohol bottles found in the plane’s trash as being his. He easily could have placed the blame on his deceased lover, Katerina, but does not want the light to be shined negatively on her, although she too was a substance user. Through his admittance, he becomes clean in jail and reconnects with his son, who, in the past, he lost due to his addiction.
