Movie Review : The Movie ' Right Away '

1. This film is saying the American democracy can be easily corrupted. The film portrays that it takes strong, determined men with much integrity to stand up for what they know is right.

To start, the film seems like your basic run-on-the mill coming of age tale with a group of teenagers growing up to desire more after they graduate high school. However, there are various more themes discreetly displayed throughout the runtime of the film. For example, one central sociological overtone of this film is Marxism. With this overtone, it becomes possible to view this light-hearted and comedic movie in a

The film captures the frenetic energy involved in campaign work and also the stress it can have. On of the things the film highlights is the emotional drain campaigning can have with the effort it requires and its highs and lows. They sit for hours trying to figure out the best strategies, and often just to deliberate which word choices would appeal best to the American people. The volunteers and strategists are seen at emotional stages throughout the film as the story of Clinton 's campaign plays out. Ultimately, however, their hard work pays off as, in the conclusion of the film they get their victory as Bill Clinton is elected President.

This movie Directed by Paul Haggis who also directed Academy Award Winning "Million Dollar Baby" and had also won an Academy Award for this movie as well puts a twisted story in this film. This movie is trying to symbolize what goes on in the world today in regards to racism and stereotypes. He tries to make a point on how societies view themselves and others in the world based on there ethnicities. This movie intertwines several different people's lives, all different races, with different types of beliefs. Such ethnicities include Caucasians, African Americans, Hispanics, Asians and Middle Eastern. This movie includes conflicts on both sides of the picture from cops and criminals as well

I was very bothered by the comments Anita Bryant made during a televised speech that was shown in the film. She was an orange juice sales woman who was working to repeal laws that protect homosexual human rights; specifically in employment and housing. She described homosexuality as “tearing down the foundation of the family unit” and compared gays to prostitutes and thieves. She tried to convince the public that the traditional family was being threatened and that practicing or accepting homosexuality was blasphemy.

The film portrays the government in a very negative light and shows how the senators have no real influence on lawmaking. Mr. Smith’s struggles as a senator gave the impression that the government functions completely on bribery, blackmail, and lies. The film gives a very strong message about the lack of democracy in American government and politics, along with the ignorance of the American people. Mr. Smith portrays the average American citizen: he is naïve, has faith in the democracy, and is ignorant

The film Swing Vote is an American political culture film that relies heavily on film subtext to depict the negative attitude many Americans have towards voting, corruption inside a political election, and the spectacle of media frenzy. While the film gives a light hearted impression of a rare political snafu it is still consistent with the main themes of other political films of manipulation, money lust, and power hungry political heads that will stop at nothing for their own personal gain. We also see the political candidates merely as puppets while their campaign managers are the ones truly calling the shots. Swing Vote is a unique political culture film because due to the ordeal in the film’s plot, the politicians are at a disadvantage when they are usually the ones in power. With the tables turned we see how they construct their corrupt schemes and the direct effect it has on the character representing the American perspective. The strong symbols that convey the cultural norms in America’s political system are in need of a deeper analysis.

The 1998 movie, Bulworth, dives into the realm of the scandalous American political system. From income inequality, to corporate greed, Bulworth manages to put a comedic twist on a very serious set of topics that politicians and the American public face daily. The main character, Jay Billington Bulworth is a liberal democratic Senator from California who is running for reelection (Bulworth: 1998). He has recently accepted millions of dollars in financial campaign donations from large corporations in order to combat his younger, populist opponent. At the beginning of the movie, Bulworth is sitting in his office, re-watching an old commercial from a prior election campaign. He hasn't slept or eaten for days and is considering ending his life.

On Saturday Night Live, for example, the producers manipulate current events for entertainment purposes. By mocking and adding humor to these particular events, the message being conveyed appeals to a wider audience. This can be seen in events leading up to the most recent election. Actors impersonated Donald Trump and Hillary Clinton using humor and exaggeration

The day Weiner decided to run for mayor, was the day the documentary started. The film was meant to portray Anthony Weiner’s second chance. 2 years after his resignation, Anthony was ready to take on politics again as the Mayor of New York City. He agreed to be documented because he wanted the people of New York to see who he really was as a person because the documentary itself took a very close look into Anthony’s personal life. His campaign at first was going very well. New Yorkers all over were ready to give Weiner a second chance. The people of New York were hopeful for a change and Anthony Weiner seemed like the perfect person for the job. It was hard not to support Anthony Weiner during the beginning of his campaign because of the amount

The movie begins in a hotel room in Las Vegas with Congressman Charlie Wilson in a jacuzzi with his fellow congressmen, strippers, and drugs. This scene alone gives an impression of Charlie Wilson’s character. The way that he does his job as a member of the House of Representatives is very unorthodox. He prefers living an extravagant and flamboyant life, and is displayed as a huge ladies man. His entire advising staff consisted of slim and beautiful woman, which was unheard of at the time. While on the job, he drinks whiskey which is unprofessional for an individual of his position.

The political elements of the movie are shown through the politics of violence. The movie focuses on masculinity, violence and gender. It resembles the pathology of individual and institutional violence that fills America, ranging from hate crimes to criminal subcultures. Violence functions mostly through the politics of denial, insulation, disinterest and inability to criticize with self-consiousness. This is the violence that represents society today.

In this paper, I will compare my real world experiences at local Alcohol Anonymous’ (AA) meetings, which I attended while enrolled in this course with that in the movie, Thanks for Sharing. Both are based on the lives and experiences of recovering addicts of either substance abuse or sexual activity. This paper will cover the stories and lives of the characters involved. Stuart Blumberg directed the movie in 2012. All movie character references in this paper are taken directly from the actual movie.

The film “…First Do No Harm” shares the experience of a blue-collar family in the Unites States, whose youngest member is diagnosed with epilepsy. The parents not having any prior experience with the illness are completely ignorant in regards to the medical procedures that must be followed to assist their son. Therefore, they rely on the doctor assigned to their son Robbie’s case and his situation unfortunately worsens as a result of unresponsive healthcare system. The disrespect with which Robbie’s and his parents are treated negatively impacts the family, especially their health.

The movie I have chosen to do my psychological film disorder assignment on is Girl Interrupted which is a psychological drama directed by James Mangold. The movie takes place in a mental institution for troubled women. All of the characters in this movie suffer from one or more mental illnesses such as depression, borderline personality disorder and schizophrenia. The movie gives us an inside look on how poorly these women are being treated and how they are treated as if they are abnormal because they are in this institution. Similarly the women are faced with their own personal and outer issues within the institution. The director gives us an inside look on how the patients are being treated poorly are
