For the typical fan of horror/thriller, it's a must see.

Dope is a film written and directed by Rick Famuyiwa, which depicts the struggles and achievements of Malcom Adekanbi. Malcom, a teenager who is growing up in the Darby-Dixson neighborhood commonly known as “the bottoms” in Inglewood, California, understands who he isn’t, but struggles throughout the movie to figure out who he is. This film brilliantly explains a few reasons for delinquent behavior, including societal need to label and/or define people, which is often decided based on race, gender, socioeconomic status and social standing, as well as how to overcome obstacles that have been placed in front of us, thereby changing the trajectory of our lives. The following quote from the movie given by Malcom explains how labels have made it hard for him to figure out who he is: “For most of my life I’ve been caught in between who I really am and how I’m perceived. In between categories and definitions…. But when you don’t fit in you’re forced to see the world from many different angles and points of view” (Famuyiwa, 2015). Malcom wonders if he’s a geek, a poor black child who doesn’t know his father and is being raised by a single mom, a menace, a drug dealer or is actually Harvard material.

Spoon and Stretch had been regular drug users. They had been doing drugs so much and for so long that they no longer felt the "high" associated with drugs, but they continued using because they would become sick otherwise. Therefore, it was evident to me that they were not exactly deterred from committing the illegal act of using drugs. During one scene in the movie, an officer told them they were in a no smoking zone, and while they eventually put their cigarette out, they showed that they were not intimidated by the officer ordering them to do so. This scene helped to helped to put into context their attitudes towards authority. Overall, the movie showed that Spoon and Stretch were not deterred in the conventional sense. Instead, they

1880s.The movie revolves around the perspective of Little Tiger, and the struggles she encounters. It consists of engaging illustrations that effectively explain the push and pull factors compelling the Chinese to leave China as well as demonstrated the many struggles endured in Canada. The film displayed many different perspectives of the Chinese, through the filthy setting, and each of their individual financial struggles and conflicts. This also explains the sudden compulsion to move to Canada, as the income was better, the environment was cleaner and they would be properly fed and tended to. China was not the best place to live in during the 1880s. Due to

In his 2017 horror film Get Out, Jordan Peele not only makes his director debut, but delivers a particularly insightful view into the state of racial affairs in modern America.The stories narrative follows an African American man named Chris, who goes to visit his white girlfriend's parents at their rural home only to uncover a horrifying plot in which the girlfriend and her parents are in fact racist and have been abducting black people and using their bodies in medical experiments involving the transfer of consciousness. On a surface level, the plot of the film has the ability to come across as quite simplistic in scope, an obvious labeling of privileged American whites as racist; however, a deeper analysis reveals careful consideration to

When I was a kid in kindergarten, my parents and I used to watch the Olympics every year. Most memories about watching the games are blurred now, but I clearly remember the gymnasts flipping and twirling in the air. I was enraptured by how they achieved such complex movements as if they can fly while controlling their bodies. I loved watching gymnastics and always wanted to try the sport. However, when I saw the passage “Is Watching Gymnastics Worse than Being an NFL Fan?” written by O’Rourke, I was astonished by the author’s doubts to the sport. In the article, the author talks about the development of gymnastics and emphasizes its sexual and emotionally abusive history. In her opinion, gymnastics is bad for female athletes and she doesn’t enjoy watching the sport as she used to. However, I don’t think she justifies her doubts toward the sport, nor does she explain the specific reasons she doesn’t enjoy the sport as much.

Film- Precious Knowledge Precious Knowledge is a documentary that takes place in Tucson, Arizona and focuses on how the Unified School district wants to completely ban the Mexican American Studies Program. In the film there were many scenes with examples of rhetorical appeal. I believe that the way the film was set up since the beginning had an impactful and direct emotional appeal on the audience. For instance, in the first scenes of the film we have the opportunity to get to know the main characters in a more intimate level.

Twenty-two veterans a day, every hour kill themselves.

This call center receives about 22,000 calls a day. The firm Crisis Hotline Veteran’s Press One allowed us to see how counselors deal with their crisis calls. The film gave me a new found respect for those professionals working in the crisis hotline arena. The film lets us hear different story’s from counselor’s working in the crisis center. These stories were told from the counselors’ point of view.

A few months ago I had the opportunity to go watch Jordan Peele’s hit film “Get Out”. While watching the film I noticed that I was one of few individuals in my friends group that was both biracial and had grown up in a predominately white community. Due to these factors I believe I approached the movie from a different angle than many of my friends. While watching the movie I heavily identified with the use of micro-aggressions that were displayed in the film. I was very pleased to see that Peele has highlighted this important social issue that many individuals face. Also, while watching the movie I began to think more about my black identity. Being biracial, your kind of swinging back and forth on a pendulum until people decide how they want

Mostly spoken about in the world of cinema, mise-en-scéne also describes aspects in theatre. In the instance of stage performance, mise-en-scéne includes all that is present on stage i.e. props, costumes, lighting, use of space. In Mr. Burns: A Post Electric Play by Anne Washburn paying close attention to what is present on stage is essential to understanding situation. In The First Act, the script directs there to be “four people around a fire, on a mixed arrangement of indoor chairs, sports or lawn chairs and a fancy new couch,” this set allows the audience to view the scene as something of a fuse of scavenged materials, making it known that, in this point in civilization, it is essential to acquire anything that is possible. There is no room for color schemes or meticulously considered arrangements, only practicality. The Second Act, described as seven years later, calls for “a cozy living room,” letting the audience know that progress has been made and it is appropriate to begin to consider aesthetic and occasional luxury. With this consideration of mise-en-scéne comes a better understanding of how and why a scene is presented the way it is.
