Well-Founded Fear And Sin Nombre: Film Analysis

The whole point of the film is that the illegal immigrants perform jobs that Americans are not willing to do and immigrants are treated as aliens not what they really are human being.

Immigration is a complex and multifaceted issue that faces the US. In his film, Sin Nombre (2009), director Cary Fukunaga aims to juxtaposition the issue of immigration with the issue of gang violence in Mexico, and show the difficulties immigrants face by giving his audience an insider’s perspective into the experience of immigrating to the United States from Honduras. He does this through a variety of characters; most notably Willie and Sayra. Fukunaga did extensive research on life in the Mara Salvatrucha gang and the process of immigrating to America, in order to make his film realistic and authentic. The result is a movie that not only shows immigration in a way that evokes empathy and enforces the humanity of immigrants in the viewer’s mind, but also gives the viewer a look into the realities of being in a gang. Through the use of strong characters, powerful dialogue and vivid imagery, Fukunaga uses pathos to put a human face to the issue of immigration, logos to inform and give his audience context about the issues the film addresses, and ethos to establish his credibility and make the film believable.

In conclusion, we take a basic movie about revenge and pull back to reveal a great historical piece about change in America. We see how immigration affects culture by introducing new a group into an environment and how people adapt to change in varying ways. Also we see how material possessions have a huge impact on the different social classes. The saying “to the victors go the spoils” holds true in all eras. Finally, we see how politics and popular culture play

In the film industry, we see all different types of films and movies, but there’s always guidelines on what needs to be followed by stereotypes that have been built by society. In the film “The Bronze Screen” it gives us a better understanding on how the system is set up for film making but especially for Latinos in the film industry, Latinos are seen as a minority group who don’t have a lot of changes on making into the big screen, the film explains how Latinos are put in movies to fill the stereotypes that have been made by society but to be specific by the white people.

The article provides information on the opinions of the cast members from the film. This allowed me to get information on the cast member’s view point on what is happening today. They think that the events taking place are just the same as 20 years ago. I also found out that the actors in La Haine also took part in real riots back in the 90’s. This information made the movie even more realistic because they all experienced what happen before they decided to become part of the movie. Finding out their opinions and experiences helped my paper because it is about the personal experiences of immigrants and how nothing has changed since La Haine was

In a diverse society, America is home to many types of people, whose beliefs and experiences may arise conflict among the races. To diminish discrimination and show that there is a connection that unites each and every individual, films offer a different perspective of the lives of whom may be misunderstood and enable audiences to discover that others live under similar circumstances as themselves. How might the depiction of 21st century Latino immigrants be compared to that of 19th century southern slaves in feature films? Time nor race is a boundary that can stop two groups from relating to each other, such is the case with African-American slaves and today’s immigrants in the U.S. Like slaves, most immigrants work for a low wage in plantations, both these two group’s motives are also similar: the struggle for freedom. One

At the moment the issue of immigration has become a top priority for the country. Following the development of government

Development and adaptation of the western genre has occurred throughout the twentieth century in relation to the shift in context, this is still relevant. Stereotypes of a western genre and the context are determined by the time in which the film is being produced. The time in which they were produced determine how social construction, gender ideas, values and attitudes, the setting and SWAT codes are demonstrated. I have chosen to present this speech by looking at the film studied in class, and a film of my choice and how the difference in context has changed in the tie of these two films.

Films have the power to both influence and reflect society. The stereotypes prevalent throughout American culture are reflected in most films. While the United States is becoming an increasingly diverse country, this diversity is not portrayed within American cinema. Minority figures often occupy

Nice summary. It is straight forward and meaningful. I like how you react to the movie. It shows that the movie has helped you understand why illegal immigrants would risk their life to come to the U.S. However, I can relate to the movie because my parents come to the U.S for me to have a better future and education.

Contemporary study on political opinions concerning immigration frequently pits points of view highlighting economic self-interest versus cultural or ideological rationalization. They (studies) are also based on the particular immigration policy at hand at the time, therefore, addressing only the power of that particular policy.

Hess and Zimmermann mention that conventional categories have blurred and there’s demands for new political and aesthetic responses in transnational cinema (John Hess 2006). These transnational films I believe would be growing significantly in the film industry as a part of film history.

There are many controversial issues related to political communication in the world today. In my opinion one of the most important issues is illegal immigration. Every year thousands of illegal immigrants sneak into the United States and take advantage of our government. Unfortunately, the under enforcement of U.S. immigration laws is a crisis, and several states are taking it upon themselves to enforce their own immigration laws. Illegal immigration has contributed to many problems including public policies, economic and labor markets, neoclassical models, trade laboralization, poverty, over population, and many more. The media evokes social debate over borders, boundaries, and citizens. The usage of politicians and

A good movie is use simple language to tell a profound story, just like Magic Realism movie Babe: Pig in the City, so that adults can see political critique, teens can see overcoming difficulties, and kids can see cute little animals. To be fair Babe: Pig in the City is one of the best movie. Everybody can find something related to them in the movie. As an international student who study in US, I have a lot to say about xenophobia, something has been criticized in the movie. Babe: Pig in the City used its elements of Magic Realism such as the fantastic talking animals, and the mundane experience of traveling to a foreign country criticized the xenophobia issue and awaken our kindness when we face the issue.

Movies can influence how think or how we conduct ourselves. Movies have influenced me greatly, Most of these movies are Americans, and as an Arabic person, I was not interested in my culture and heritage; therefore, I neglected about my own culture and became more of Americans mindest rather than an Arabic. Whether the change is negative or positive the fact remains the young people should learn about their culture and where I came from. Another critical issue with these movies that they give a negative image about particular culture or country which can impact how people think about these cultures. To sum up, movies have a significant influence on how to think about our own culture and can make us see a particular culture.
