Short Term Memory: Movie Analysis

Throughout the film Do the Right Thing, we continuously observe racial conflict that builds up to such an extreme point that it leads to a fight for power. This movie portrays the struggles and realities of a neighborhood with white and black African American people. This can be seen in many instances for example when Buggin ' Out, Radio Raheem, and Smiley march into Sal 's and demand that Sal change the Wall of Fame. Another vital instance shows the height of power struggle. It is when the huge fight starts in the street and results in Raheem being killed by a white police officer.

I found the play to be far superior in comparison to the original film version as the movie's writing glorified modern American consumerism. A post war financial boom brought a great amount of advertising and promotion, and the movie was overflowing with blatant celebration of products. The presence of sexism as well of the obvious lack of racially diverse main characters, was a big problem for me in my terms of likability of the movie. The play was able to strip itself of the gaudiness/lack of diversity and that left room for a brilliantly crafted sub-plot with a well rounded cast and smartly written script.

I watched the film Fed Up (2014). The film's purpose is to spread awareness of the dangers of excess sugar and fat in a diet. It also wanted to bring awareness to the food corporation corruption. The film seeks to educate the public on the effects of an unhealthy diet. It is meant to open the eyes to the obesity crisis in the United States. It emphasizes on how sugar is the direct cause of obesity.

The “Everyday Use” by Alice Walker showed very different insights in both story and the movie. When I was reading the story, I imagined very different scenes than the movie. Reading the story first made me picture my own images of characters and settings. The power of literature had me think of entirely different scenes than what I saw in the movie clip. I imagined a house with large yard and a plain field. Throughout the reading, I briefly thought about the details such as the burned scars on Maggie’s body, how Mama would be waiting for Dee or how quilts looked like. The reading made me explore in my own way to draw and color every scenes and had me make different expressions about the story.

Penny Lane’s 2016 film Nuts! is a documentary film that tells the life of John R. Brinkley. During the 1920s and 1930s. Brinkley gained international fame through his “discovery” of a goat-testicle impotence cure. His self-built empire also included his hugely successful radio station. The film spans Brinkley’s entire life and is conceptually the basic rags to riches story that is very common. But Brinkley’s methods of becoming a successful person are very peculiar. He utilizes concepts of trickery and deceitfulness as components for advancement. His fortune’s foundation was his goat-testicle implants that he performed on men as a cure for impotence. Throughout his career, he had always had an issue with a man named Fishbein. A plot twist in

The EPA does not live up to their own standards because they violate their mission and purpose which is to protect human health from significant risks and the environment where they live (“Our Mission and What We Do.” EPA). The movie "Tapped" revealed many studies that show how polycarbonate plastic gradually releases a chemical called BPA into foods and liquids that are stored in containers. The chemical compounds released by these plastics can alter hormones and have other potential human health effects. In "Tapped" evidence was released that water bottles are the leading cause of cancer, developmental, neural and reproductive health effects in not just children and infants but also adults. Not only is the EPA not informing and protecting

Adoption of books into a movie are somehow not always to my test. Often they leave out characters and amplify the manor occurrence to just fill their film hour caps. Movies do not create the same affection and attachment as books. In the book you could be any of the characters and can feel their thoughts, joy and sorrow. In “Everyday Use” short film, the director captured the general feeling of the story and brought the characters to life. The best part of the film for me is it took me back to the time period the story happened. How its like to live in that time, and I liked how it captures the humorous exchange between mama Dee and Hakim-a-barber when Wangero [Dee] introduced him. The worst aspect is its missing the passion when you see a

Gaia was a young naive girl but when her parents were taken away from her she starts to question everything she believed in and is really bothered by how everything is not how it seems. “In the three weeks since her parents had been gone, Gaia had had no news about any of them…Her nights were riddled with nightmares” (O’Brien). Gaia is worried about her parents. She is now alone and she is scared but because she was worried about her parents she made the choice to go against everything she believed in. “...but she found the woman's passivity disturbing...”(34). During this scene she took the baby away from his mother. She expected the mother to start crying or show some kind of negative emotion but the woman just stayed right where she was and didn't put up a struggle.

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. In the movie we can see how within one class session it is possible to alter pure minds, which do not have a prejudice yet and are not completely exposed to the

The movie was very accurate to the lives of N.W.A., although there were a few inaccurate points. The scene where Cube throws a girl out of his hotel room after her boyfriend comes to the door is inaccurate. It was added just to show more of their lifestyle during their tours. Overall the movie did accurately portray the lives of the members of N.W.A., the police brutality, and the environment in Compton at the time. It depicted each personality and member as they really were. The things added to make the movie more of a story instead of just life events were very minimal and didn’t draw away from the overall accuracy of the movie.

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.
