Straight Outta Dra Film Analysis

"Baraka" exemplifies everything Emile Durkheim referred to as sociological functionalism. This is the perspective that various parts of a society or social system affect other parts within that system, and how they function in the overall continuity of that system. Durkheim showed that all the aspects of human society work together much like the parts of a machine. The concept of social solidarity - ties that bind people to one another and to society as a whole- play a major role in the lives of humans. This film reflects these ideas.

In the 1960’s started a group up with two others called CIA. The group and mostly Cube was caught by Andre Romelt, better known as Dr. Dre. These two grouped together with other rappers known as DJ Yella, Eazy E, and MC Den. They all formed N.W.A. N.W.A.s hard hitting lyrics rocked the music company. Anchored by their first awesome hit F*** the police, the record made them the most contentious group ever in music. The group's second album, straight outta Compton in 1988 rocked them to amazing games.

Get Out written and directed by Jordan Peele was a box office hit that reached over 250 million dollars worldwide. This cinema utilizes the use of allegory, satire and symbolism to create an inspiring horror film. The use of these literary techniques deconstructs physiological and sociology effects that systematic racism has on the the black incarcerated males. Mass incarceration of black men, parallels to the slavery. The meaning behind this film was to create a notion of being aware of what is occurring socially and politically with the popular slang known as “staying woke”.

Rappers spoke about the hardships, they endowed every day. Day by day troubles that ranged everywhere between finding a voice for their city, to the killings that occurred. Nwa, a gangsta rap group from Los Angeles, connected meaning with everyday life. “Straight Outta Compton” (1988), characterizes the lives of five young black men, and what it means to be living in one of the most dangerous crime ridden cities, Compton. It is the same story with each group, just in a different location. All groups and artists displays the same meaning, to be heard.

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

Also, they were searched for drugs and spat on by police just because of their skin color. When NWA made music that discussed the unfairness of the justice system and the endless oppression they were going through, the police attempted to shut them down. This was because the government was afraid their behavior of making law enforcement look bad would cause chaos, but the police did not realize the emotional chaos they placed on people of color. Now, it is clear to see how racism in this film relates back to WGSST 1110 because in week three we began talking about privilege and the institutions that our society creates to separate

Straightlaced, critical movie in which young adults confront misconstrued societal expectations on how they should dress, act, and how their sexuality affects others around them. In this movie these young adults address how confining these presumptions are and why. In this movie many different teenagers discuss how they identify their sexuality, whether it be “straight, bisexual, gay, lesbian, questioning and so on. In this critical essay these expectations and rules will be discussed at a deeper level.

In Elijah Anderson theory of “The Code of the Street”, he talks about the street codes in poor inner city African American communities, where he specifically talks about African American men being under pressured by responding to certain disrespectful situations with violence. His theory reflected not only my neighborhood, but the movie “Juice”, where four childhood best friends from Harlem are looking for a way to get power and respect called the “Juice”. In the movie, they all are in high school. Q lives in single parent household with his little brother. His mother is disciplinarian who wants to make sure that her son goes in the right path and has a stable career for himself. Steel lives with both of his parents and brother. Both

The scene demands darker lighting and many angles. The area needs to be as three-dimensional as the characters who inhabit it. As is, we have three-dimensional characters in a one-dimensional space. There is no depth to their world. The components and meanings of the image become muddled together in a dull manner.

Ever watched a movie without watching its trailer? One goes in not knowing what to expect, and that brings excitement as a moviegoer. As I stumbled upon a film called "Get Out" by Jordan Peele on a night out with my fiancé. I couldn’t predict the slightest outcome let alone what the film was based on. My assumptions were based on the films early commercials. As many moviegoers would know, early commercials are usually based around the films genre. Horror, was written all over these commercials. Hence, I became hesitant as I am not a horror fan.

Inglourious Basterds is a Quentin Tarantino directed 2009 movie, starring Brad Pitt, Christoph Waltz, Melanie Laurent, and Eli Roth. The story centers around a unique Nazi-hunting unit within the US army known (by their German title) as the Basterds. The unit consists of soldiers who are of Jewish-American descent with the simple purpose of killing Nazis (and take their scalps as a trophy but that's just a perk to the job). The Basterds are led by Brad Pitt's charismatic Lieutenant Aldo Raine (or by his German nickname, Aldo the Apache) and include Eli Roth's Sergeant Donny "The Bear Jew" Donowitz, Gedeon Burkhard's Austrian-born Captain Wilhelm Wicki, and Til Schweiger's Nazi-turn-Nazi-killer Sergeant Hugo Stiglitz, as well as others.

Imagine that two men, ragged and exhausted, have found their way onto a cold shoreline and collapse. Having witnessed death and feeling like death, they had finally returned home. These two men had just returned from the Crusades, where they had initially acted out of their religious idealism and returned with that idealism destroyed. The viewer cannot say for sure what these two men had witnessed, or what they had done, all in the name of God. All that can be established from these opening, dialogue free scenes is that both men have returned damaged men, men who have seemingly lost some sort of will, and most possibly some sort of faith. These men have arrived home, but their home has now been hit by fear and disease.

Jordan Peele’s Get Out uses the premise of an interracial relationship to create a smart horror film that critiques the treatment and fetishization of African American culture. Chris (Daniel Kaluuya), a black man, agrees to go to meet the parents of his white girlfriend, Rose (Allison Williams) for the weekend but is made uncomfortable by their progressive-white-liberal personae. They eagerly tell him of their adoration for Barack Obama and Jesse Owens and are quick to dismiss his worry about having black servants. The depiction of a clueless family of so-called “white allies” in the beginning allows Peele to reveal them to be monsters later in the film. In Get Out, Peele uses the main conflict of Chris’s going to his girlfriend’s house

In Los Angeles there were various cities that are poor and known for violence. In these types of cities NWA experienced shotguns, rape, violence among police officers or themselves, drug dealing and using drugs as something normal. Many fans appreciated their music because they resembled to the lyrics, and were interested in NWA’s form of expression however, enforcement were upset of their music (Straight out of Compton).

I watched the movie Get Out on November 5, 2017. I found many political messages throughout the entire movie, most of them aimed at race, and I believe the overall purpose of the movie is to break some of the stereotypes and show things from a different point of view. In summary, the movie was about a young white women, Rose, taking home her new black boyfriend, Chris, so he can meet her parents. Rose’s parents are clearly very well off and intellectual yet accepting of Chris. After Chris notices the black “servants” around the house acting strange, he soon realizes that the white people in the house who are trying to take over the bodies of young black people in order to live longer. There are many scenes or lines in this movie that pushes the audience to recognize the normalized racism that plays a huge role in today’s society. One of the first scenes this occurs in is when Chris is walking through an affluent white neighborhood and feels uncomfortable and out of place. It is a lot more common to hear about white people feeling unsafe or uncomfortable in a prominently black neighborhood so this helps to put both sides of the racial divides in today’s society into perspective. Another one of the scenes this occurs in is at the beginning of the movie when Rose is driving Chris to meet her family and hits a deer. When a cop shows up on the scene he asks Chris for his license even though he isn’t speaking and wasn’t the one that was even driving the car. Even though Chris is
