In the film Juice, there were four black teenage boys named Que, Raheem, Steals, and Bishop. They lived in Harlem, New York, were poverty has been an issue the past few decades. In Harlem there was a lot of crime, gang activity, drug abuse, shooting, and homicides among the black community. Each of the young men were living in a single parent household in a worn down neighborhood where they faced conflict with other local gang members from different racial backgrounds. Que was a local disc jockey trying to become known in the music industry. He and his friends would frequently skip school and go to a local hang-out spot where criminal activity took place. All four young men were involved in some form of petty/property crime around Harlem. They so much as skipped class to steal music albums from a small record store in their neighborhood. Bishop is one of Que’s best friends; they were so close people knew them as brothers around the hood. Out of all the four men, Bishop was the only one with two parents in the household.

To fully understand the film I had to look back and research the time period of which the story took place. The film is set in 1964, the year after the Kennedy Assassination. It was a time of change, both in society in general and in the church. Sister Aloysius and Father Flynn represent conflicting views on how the church should function. She belongs to a more corporate conservative school of thought, believing the church as separate from society at large and not needed anything to change. He, on the other hand, had a different belief with the changes being after Kennedy death. It’s seems like the problem of the past can resurface in the future. The difference of one opinion can make you hate or dislike

Although the kiss in the scene is not a romantic kiss, it captured the love between the two women, not a romantic homosexualised love, but a heteronormal sisterly type of love.

People always claim they know what a legend is; there are stories that are legends and there are people who are legends. A person who is a legend has certain characteristics such as doing what everyone thought was impossible, they don’t take the road less traveled they take the road never before traveled (Waters, 2012). A legend is remembered for a long time after they are gone and admired by so many (Waters, 2012). A legend is also something or someone who inspires others for years to come. That legend is talked about long after its time has passed. When you think of a legendary movie you remember the inspirational parts and the parts that really left a lasting impression.

There is Alfred (Aidan Quinn), who is the oldest, he is responsible and safe, Tristan (brad Pitt), who is in the middle, is his dad’s favorite son.

Last there is Samuel (Henry Thomas), the youngest, is educated but naive and his brothers feel they always need to take care of him.

‘Night at the Museum’ is a fantasy-comedy film produced in 2006 that is based on a 1993 children’s book written by Milan Trenc. The protagonist, Larry Daley, is a divorced and unemployed parent looking to settle down and in need of a permanent workforce. On his first day as a newly employed night guard at the Museum of Natural History, he realises that the museum comes to life by nightfall.

During the short scene where Dexter is shown urinating on Larry, their humorous relationship was able to be discerningly highlighted through the manipulation of camera shots, camera angles and symbolism.
