Self-fulfilling prophecy is a process that works in every aspect of our lives, including family, friends, school, jobsite, community and so on. While developing our self-identity we all go through different stages in our lives. Furthermore, it is important to realize that we all are directly influenced by the society that we live in. Unfortunately, not always it works for our own benefit. The movie "A Class Divided" shows how the self-fulfilling prophecy works in a basic level, which become more complex, once people develop their self-identity based on their own beliefs and values.

Tv, and shows movies are usually a lot of white people with the occasional black friend. In almost every film, an Indians have a strong stereotypical Indian accent. Not every Indian talks like that. Media and film should be more diverse by giving minorities more opportunities, and stop portraying minorities in a bad way.

When watching a film, two questions are usually asked by ourselves: what is this story about? What does the director want to express through the film? Different audiences will interpret the same story variously because of the exclusive experience or the cultural background, rendering them understand the metaphor in diverse aspects. For filmmakers, depending on their unique production methods or intentions, will tell the story in a different structure or style as well. Bill Nichols (2017: 61) declared that three elements are intertwined with each other in a film: the filmmaker, the audience and the film itself, which is also known as the triangle of communication. One function of the triangle is to work as a model for having a deeper understand of films. Therefore, in this essay, both Last Train Home (Fan, 2009) and Steam of Life (Berghall and Hotakainen, 2010) will be analysed and contrasted through the triangle of communication to discover the stories of the viewer, the films and the filmmakers behind the two films.

Did you know it is more to film broadcasting than just visible viewing it? The ability to analyze films implicates closely examination of cinematography.

If I were in charge of the experiment conducted in the movie “The Experimenter” I feel like I would have gone through with the experiment since I feel that it does answer the question of how humanity can let bad things happen and not even bat an eye.

Milgram want to know why no had stop the Nazis from commenting the genocide of millions of people just because they were minorities that didn’t fit in to the Nazis ideal world. I also feel like this just as important of a question today since genocides still happen every day and we are a nation with two clowns running for president.

The movie I decided to analyze for this course was American History X (1998), which stars Edward Norton. Though this movie isn’t widely known, it is one of the more interesting movies I have seen.
