In the age of TV series being the craze, I feel with The Accelerator’s sense of mystery and sci-fi touch, it would be a hit. However, there are a few changes I see fit. Unless the opening scene with the painting is necessary and connects in further episodes it could do without. The opening scene with Jenna and Damien sets up confusion for the rest of the episode. When Damien gets the news notification about the Ambrosia sale it associates him with the company. I felt that Ambrosia was the company he was asking an investment for, which confused me when I figured out later they weren’t the same companies. I feel the episode could start out with the scene with Cole and the engineers. I also felt that Damien and Jenna’s scenes were too choppy
The unrealistically hilarious Australian film, Bran Nue Dae, by director Rachel Perkins encompasses the adventures of Indigenous teenager Willie Johnson. After being shipped off to a Catholic boarding school in Perth to become a priest, he spends the entirety of the film travelling home to Broome with two hippies in a kombi van and his homeless, alcoholic uncle, Uncle Tadpole. Good morning/afternoon Miss Radunz and class. The aim of this presentation is to analyse the negative depiction of the two social groups, Hippies, portrayed by Wolfgang and Annie, who are stereotyped as unpredictable and obsessed with freedom. And Musicians, who are stereotyped as vain and self centred, which is represented by Lester. Using these stereotypes effectively
Individual’s identity can be formed through significant events but these events can also change and create a new identity. In the film ‘The sapphires’, Kay is introduced as a victim of the stolen generation which changed her life and her identity as she grew up believing she was white. This is evident in the scene where they show Kay with other girls in her apartment in Melbourne. The use of middle angle shot allows the responder to see Kay being assimilated into the white culture which juxtapose the difference in clothing, where and how they live and the way they speak between Kay and Gail and her sisters. As the film progresses, we notice the change in Kay’s identity as she feels the need to identify herself a black. This use of close up
After viewing the film “GEN SILENT”, I was speechless by some of the experiences and challenges faced by the aging LGBT seniors. To me, it is a disgrace to see in this day and age that human beings are experiencing these challenges (emotional, social, and psychological) and stigma by their families, strangers and health care providers simply because of their sexual orientations or preferences. I feel that it is a disgrace for such an inequality to continue to be of existence in the 21st century because I believe as human beings we should all be more considerate and treat everyone with respect and dignity.

The card game intercut with the flashback of the hex doll works. It sets the tone and establishes the world. While some tightening of dialogue is suggested, it’s a good start. Moreover, the teaser hooks the audience; both Marie Laveau and Marianne fascinate the audience.

While the concept is terrific, the script and series of events would really benefit from more development to have it fully realize it’s potential.
The proposed change project for Verizon will focus on assisting customers with bad credit. In 2015, VantageScore 3.0 estimates that 30% of Americans have poor or bad credit (Detweiler, 2016). Credit scores typically range between 300 to 850. Poor credit is a credit score of 601 or lower. The 30% amounts to about 68 million Americans (Detweilier, 2016). The number of people with poor or bad credit is astounding. Men and women are not paying their bills. Unpaid student loans, cable bills, car loans and mortgages contribute to bad credit. Verizon has an opportunity to help the community and their customers overcome the obstacles of having bad credit.

Additionally, Walter also belittles Beneatha's dream of becoming a doctor, implying that women are fit only for supporting roles: “Who the hell told you, you had to be a doctor? If you so crazy ‘bout messing ‘round with sick people – then go be a nurse like other women – or just get married and be quiet” (Gilbert et al., 1961). Yet, Beneatha isn’t concerned about getting married and is focused on her career, “Get over it? What are you talking about, Ruth? Listen, I’m going to be a doctor. I’m not worried about who I’m going to marry yet – if I ever get married” (Gilbert et al., 1961). Beneatha’s friend Asagai believes that love should be enough for women, however, Beneatha challenges this idea by stating that she needs more, such as a
This films depiction of life during the Civil War gives us a look into the many different point of views it was experienced from. Ada and Inman had gone through so much in such a short period of time they found their way back to each other. It was a beautiful love story cut short by the tragedy of death. They both faced many hardships during the war but both seem to find people that help along the way.
“The drug world organization is fundamentally gendered” (Anderson 2005). Anderson has continuously insisted that the illicit drug world, based on a patriarchally organized hierarchy where men continue to dominate, is also one that cannot exist without women's empowerment and agency. It is then critical to concentrate on the complex interplay between men and women. There are numerous ways in which women on the border between the United States and Mexico become involved in crime and the illicit drug economy. These roles are complex and contradictory. While drug smuggling and other forms of female involvement in crime on the U.S.-Mexico border often lead to victimization, neglect, and abuse, manipulation of these roles can serve as a vehicle for female empowerment and liberation from male control.
In the film Central Station (Central do Brasil), Walter Salles presents the characters as on a journey to self-discovery. It is a film about identity. Central Station is a melodrama of transformation based on an anomalous-duo comprising of Dora, a jaded retired schoolteacher, and Josué, a nine year-old boy, who embark on a cross-country journey in search of the boy’s father upon the unfortunate death of his mother. The film presents its analysts with many possible interpretations and significations due to its combination of different themes, visual allusions and narrative elements. Central do Brasil film can be interpreted in three ways: as an extended metaphor on the writing process and a narration of personal stories and experiences, as a figurative journey of Brazilian search for its identity depicted in Dora’s transformation and Josué’s quest for his roots, and as a theological allegory inviting a “theological reading of humans struggling to maintain a relationship to an absent God” (Bowman 1). Through a detailed analysis film’s content, production, and reception, this paper interprets Central do Brasil as an allegory representing the pursuit for identity and transformation.
