The importance of this film is that it puts the issue of racism and oppression in your face in such a way that it forces you to take an honest look, not just at the systematic oppression and racism experienced by African Americans, but also at how black lives in America are still undervalued as a result. In addition to this we are made aware even moreso that not much has changed for blacks in the sense

This movie is loosely based on an FBI investigation from the 1960’s, but they stay true to what life was actually like in the south during the time period that the film is set in, which is why this movie is an important educational tool. The movie is not being used in class because it is a cinematic masterpiece, but because it accurately expresses the hardships that African Americans in the south face and the difficulties that authorities faced in convicting people who committed these civil rights crime. The movie does an incredible job of depicting these realities through this particular story, which is why it is important to show this movie in school.

There were thousands of crimes similar to this where the criminals never even got arrested because of all the difficulties the authorities would face in doing so.

The play Love Untitled was about two people who want to ask the same girl out but in the end the one who gets the girl is the least expected. This love triangle consists of Jordan, Jamie, and Ski but it’s not as typical as though out to be because the plot twist is that Jordan and Jamie both like Ski.

Final thoughts, it's good, though flawed. I would have liked to see a pair of actors with more chemistry in the romance department. But when things start getting rough, Rose Leslie and Harry Treadaway step up their game to deliver engrossing performances. Leigh Janiak does some impressive work for a first time director, most notable when it comes to pacing and the use of light and dark during the final act of film. But would I recommend it? Yes, but be prepared for a slow start.

Although countless people convince themselves they are open minded, they may actually have enclosed themselves in a prison of ignorance. For example, spending the majority of time with friends who share a common upbringing sounds satisfying, but it does not provide much variety of experience and exposure to new viewpoints and ideas. Simply reading a book, such as an autobiography, or seeing a movie set in a different time or place, can illustrate multiple viewpoints and diverse experiences. For example, the movie The Way (2010), is the story of a man whose son dies while hiking the El Camino trail in the Pyrenees of France and Spain. The father decides to complete the pilgrimage himself in honor of his son and learns about himself and

The film takes place in a time period of a post-war Hiroshima Japan, and the setting, as well as the time period, plays a major part in this film, by showing the audience views a war-torn country as it rebuilds and rebrands itself. As well as how those affected remember or forget the tragedy that shook their city. The main themes explored in this film are the relation of memory and forgetfulness, love and death, he and she being contrasted, pleasure and pain, east and

When I watched “Life is Beautiful” I thought the movie was very interesting. I love how Guido is very hopeful and making sure his son doesn’t feel unhappy or know where and what they are really doing at the concentration camp.

The movie, After the Wedding, is a very complex movie that displays a series of events surrounding a wedding and continuing to show what most movies fail to depict in their Hollywood visions of a “good movie,” what happens AFTER the picture-perfect wedding.
