Sully Movie Analysis

Precious is a movie that was produced based off a book. The movie was a story about a 16-year-old girl Claireece “Precious” Jones who was abused by her family emotionally, physically, mentally, and sexually. (Magness, Siegel-Magness, & Daniels, 2009) Taking at a look at this from a social worker perspective one can look at how to address the situation and how one work with a potential client like Precious. The film addresses many issues that a client may come across including the micro, mezzo, and macro levels.

“Against the Odds” is an informative text by Pearson Realize about how Sully Sullenberger faced a potential crash with 150 passengers on board when geese hit the plane and made the engines fail. Sully kept calm for the whole experience and got everyone to safety, while also keeping the plane intact. The selection states, “The plane could either land in LaGuardia or land in Teterboro Airport in New Jersey. Sullenberger knew the situation was too dire for the plane to stay in the air long enough for either plan to be successful… He’d ditch the plane in the Hudson River - despite the fact that passenger jets are not built to land on water.” (pgs. 446-447). This quote explains that instead of listening to air traffic, he thought of his own way and it succeeded. Another challenge was to get everyone to safety. Most of the passengers were out of the plane, but Sullenberger had to be sure they were all out. So he “...walked the length of the cabin twice, calling ‘Is anyone

In the movie Precious, a 16-year old girl named Claireece Jones also known as Precious is physically, sexually, and verbally abused by her parents. Precious has one child and is now pregnant with her second child which causes her to be kicked out of school. She transfers to an alternative school. Precious is illiterate; however, she learns to read, write, and to gain self-respect from her teacher at the alternative school. In the end, she becomes a woman, learning to stand up for herself and she raises two healthy children. There are three different types of abuse Precious faced from her parents. An example of how Precious mother physically abused would be when her mother would get out the chair and beat her daughter by throwing things at her, because she did something minor or nothing at all. Precious mother verbally abused her daughter by calling her “stupid, fat, and she will amount to nothing”. An example of how Precious father sexually abused her would be he raped ever since she was three years old, impregnated her with two children, and he also gave her HIV. The movie faced several biological and environmental issues in the family. One example of a biological issue faced in the movie would be when Precious was hungry, needed water, and sleep. She needed to have this because she was pregnant with her second child. In the movie, it shows Precious goes into a restaurant, to order some food, and runs out without paying. She stole the food because she was starving and her mom did not give her any money. An environmental issue would be Precious was from Harlem, New York. During that time, Harlem was a city in poverty, so she grew up with hardly any money. The income her mother got from her welfare check, she did not give Precious anything.

Newsies, a classic musical based on the late 1800’s is a very entertaining and family friendly musical-- except for the few profane words. On a cloudy, partially rainy saturday morning, I laid out on the couch and watched the movie from the comfort of my own home. I was hesitant to watch this movie because I am not much of a musical person. About midway through I found myself at the edge of my seat hypnotized by the movie. As the movie drew to an end, I was completely sucked in and waited for something more. The movie I so dreadfully did not want to watch became something I did not want to end.  In this movie the director and composer correlated their scenes and music perfectly together to touch the thoughts and emotions of the audience watching.

In the years leading up to the Civil War there was an abolitionist movement in the United States. This was primarily a northern state movement; the southern states relied heavily on slave labor to work their fields. As the war raged on, the Union government decided it would confiscate the property of Confederate sympathizers, this included slaves. As the slaves were confiscated they were sent behind Union lines and were then declared free. The film Glory tells the story of the 54th Regiment Massachusetts Volunteer Infantry; the first all-black unit in the Union Army…made up of free black men and freed slaves.

Definitely my favorite movie we have watched for this class this far, Glory, with Denzell Washington and Morgan Freeman, stands high above other civil war movies of its kind. Highlighting the issue of the 54th regiment, the discrimination of the black soldiers was prominent as well as the slow changes Colonel Shaw made to himself and his leadership traits in order to zero out that discrimination. The entire theme of the film seems to be ‘progression’, where, as the characters progress not only as individuals but also as units, the story also progresses from ___ to the goal of nationalism and emancipation. However, this movie does have some historical flaws.

Firstly, universal health care would allow for everyone to get the necessary care they need regardless of their medical problem or financial background. Privatised health care, like in the United States, can not be afforded by everyone as it is very expensive. In the documentary, SiCKO, by Michael Moore it explains how many American’s do not have health care and, “nearly 18,000 of them will die this year simply because there uninsured” (SiCKO, 2007). The fact that health care is so expensive leads to people trying to live without it preventing them from getting the care they need to live healthily. There are also some cases where people have to make choices because it is so expensive. For example, Rick in the documentary SiCKO cut off

Dirt! Was a very interesting movie. I never looked at dirt the way that the scientist looked at dirt. The way they talk about how everything works together and how dirt was the first living organism on earth was something I honestly didn’t know. Normally science and religion are very different on how life began and how things came to be, it was interesting how this movie incorporated both in the story. One of the most interesting stories was the one about the guy who had the garden grow in the back of his truck while he was in the hospital. I’ve exactly seen this before in the junkyard before but never looked at it in a way of how life in that truck came to be and how it grows in an environment like that. It seems as if dirt

Imagine it is 1971 and you are on a flight from Portland to Seattle. You take your seat and get ready for your flight. You see an ominous man and you have your suspicions, but you think nothing of it. Later in the flight, you see him talking to the stewardess and see him slip her a note. He then shows her what is in his suitcase and asks her to sit with him. You start to get a bad feeling that something is not right. The man then seems to request something as the stewardess gets up to go to the cockpit. She appears to be anxious as she returns. After about twenty minutes your flight lands in Seattle and you have an eerie feeling that something suspicious has gone down (Gray, 2007). What you just witnessed was the infamous D.B. Cooper hijacking

As a film noir, The Maltese Falcon displays characteristics of a time that commanded a type of film that captured the essence of obscurity. It’s a film that is vivid with failed romance and cynicism between two main characters, who are ideas of American masculinity and femininity, yet, the film suggests that each is the others downfall.

Shmuel got brainwashed by his own father and lied to him.His father did not want shmuel to be worried that everyone will die sooner or later.

Inglorious Basterds is the sixth of eight films in Quentin Tarantino’s filmography and is in many aspects, the perfect culmination of what makes a Tarantino film a Tarantino film. From the deep cultural references in the dialogue to the unforgivingly in your face, some have even said offensive, violence throughout, there’s no mistaking who’s eyes you’re observing the world through. Although it misses on key points such as pacing and leaves several questions left to assumption, Inglorious Basterds’ character-driven plot and use of dialect is more than enough to make up for its shortcomings. As someone who has seen all eight Tarantino films, and most multiple times, it is safe to say that Inglorious Basterds is a solid and memorable addition to the Tarantino filmography.

Foxy was having the most weirdest hour of her life. She was riding piggyback on the robot and ripping out wires of all sorts while biting and snapping at the robot 's small mechanical head. Around her Lumo, Snowy, Bolt, and Cougy, where in a battle with 15 robots. Acorn was pulling pine cones out of her back pack and firing them like a machine gun. “How many things can she fit in there” asks Foxy to herself. But probably the most effective person on the team for destroying the robots was her sister Wolfy. Around her the ground was littered with wires and machine parts.
