During the end of the 3rd Century, the Playwright Plautus wrote many of the first Roman comedies. A Funny Thing Happened on the Way to the Forum is a musical comedy film adaptation of Plautus's comedies.Set in ancient Rome, many aspects of Roman theatre, including stock characters, were included in the film’s production. While the film is based off of multiple comedies, Plautus's Pseudolus character Calidorus is nearly identical to the film’s Hero. During the time Pseudolus was written, the Crisis of the Third Century led to up to 25% of Roman population being comprised of slaves(Southern). Of the many stock characters Platus included in his comedies, Calidorus/Hero, the son of Pseudolus’s owner and the stock character adulescens, best

American actor Anthony Mackie once said “There are a lot of limitations and stigmas that are placed on young actors, specifically young black actors.” You have probably seen black male actors play the leading role of a drug addict, drug dealer, abusive husband or a even a thief. Although they do get a chance to be displayed on the media, they more often than ever are represented or viewed as the antagonist. Why? Because they are set up according to certain limitations in which they must obey. The lack of accurate representation on black actors in the media today is the result of prejudice and racism occurring in society. Racism and prejudice which are demonstrated in the films directed by Spike Lee, Do the Right Thing and Jungle Fever.

The students both in Walkout and Stand and Deliver experience some sort of discrimination brought on by administrators at their own schools. In Walkout, Paula and her classmates face apathy from school officials after asking for reform in their school system, due to the fact that they attend an East Los Angeles public school filled with mainly low- income Chicano students. In a particularly powerful scene, the filmmaker showcases this apathy in a high angle shot, when the school board dismisses a call for action by Paula, her classmates, and Sal Castro after they show up to a meeting. In Stand and Deliver, we see the same event happen in a scene when Jaime Escalante proposes teaching calculus to his students during a board meeting. The filmmaker uses reaction shots and close up shots to show the other school teachers and administrators disapproval over the idea, stating that they do not believe the Latino students in the school can rise up to the challenge. I believe that this is very influential, especially with Chicano students, as discrimination in film can serve as a teaching lesson to be more empathetic and open minded to others who are different in some

No one should ever be judged based on gender, race, religion, or economic status. Unfortunately, that isn’t always the case. People are constantly being judged solely for the contributions. In the movie, “Stand and Deliver” is about a group of students is judged based on race and economic status. Mr. Escalante takes on the challenge of proving everyone wrong. He is an educator that fights and advocates for his students. Not only does he push his students to their fullest potential, but also he believes in them and shatters the stereotypical wall built around them.

The movie screening of Walkouts took place on Tuesday, November 17 a film directed by Edward James Olmos. ELAC Puente was able to organize this event by the help of faculty members such a professor Centeno and by the student body. I have been part of the Puente project and ELAC Puente club at East Los Angeles College for the past two years and I was honor that this event happen. Bobby Lee Verdugo has always been involved with the Puente Project across California and has always make speeches or presented what he went through and experience during the Walkouts. Now only did we got to see the movie but we had the chance to ask them questions but also relate how social issues in today’s society still exist and that is up to us to change that by

My movie would be titled “Pledges,” and would star Michael Cera; an awkward virgin named Franklin; a freshman attending the University of Mississippi. Franklin is accompanied by his childhood best friend Ralph (played by Christopher Mintz) as they attempt to conquer their first year of college. Franklin and Ralph weren’t the most popular kids in high school and are looking for a fresh start in college. Luckily for Franklin, his older brother Brad (played by Zac Efron) is the president of the largest fraternity on campus (Zeta Beta Tau, ZBT). Brad convinces the hesitant freshmen to attend a party at the frat house; the party is huge and filled with beautiful girls and mass amounts of alcohol. Halfway through the party Franklin sees a beautiful sorority

The movie “Stand and Deliver” is about a school called Garfield High School, Los Angeles California in the 1980’s which is based off a true story. In the movie “Stand and Deliver” Mr. Esclante who used to work at a computer company and quits to becomes a computer teacher since he wants to teach. But the school didn’t have the budget to buy computers he teaches math. The students’ knowledge are below standards where their knowledge is lower than 7th graders but they are high schoolers. He wants to get their knowledge to high school standards and he also wants to teach them calculus.

School of Rock is a classic movie (in the millennials’ generation) that almost no one can turn his/her head from. This movie gives off a friendly, outgoing, real perception of what a male teacher would present to a classroom. He makes the kids laugh, helps them learn, and gives off a masculine vibe that his students respect. Stand and Deliver is another movie showing how a male figure can make a junky, unorganized, failing classroom into a successful, vibrant, encouraging place to be. In most movies about education there will be the failing classroom with the not-so-great teacher.

When it comes to the film industry, entertainment is the tool used to acquire what is desired, money. The main goal for filmmakers when they create a film is to attain money in addition to the money spent to make the movie. Therefore, in some films that they like to base off of true accounts, it is somewhat necessary to dramatize or embellish the story to really tug at the heartstrings of the films audience. They achieve this goal by the use of dramatic music, ambient lighting, and a small amount of tweaked diction. The Fighter is an excellent example of this dramatization in action because throughout the film the characters are faced with a multitude of decisions that must be made. The choices they make require the characters to choose

The way I see is that Americans are truly the villain in The Host. Americans do illegal, dangerous actions in Korean, which causes the monster, so Koreans did not like and support how the US operates in their country. For example, in the opening scene, an American ordered his Korean subordinate to dump all the dusty bottle into Han river. It is so crazy and irresponsible. Through the rest of the movie, there is an American doctor with a cross-eyed. That character looks like an idiot, and by extension make the country he represents look idiotic too. Finally, when the US Military in the film decided to use Agent Yellow to cleansing the area and to kill the monster. Koreans organized demonstrations to against the release of Agent Yellow by the
