Wheel Chair Rugby Analysis

Throughout the film we, see both the coach, individual players, and the team as a whole face numerous psychological obstacles which they overcome to reach the final. The film is based highly around racism and racial divides within basketball. Throughout the film we can see a constant battle with the idea of Perception, and how both player and overcome this. In order to form the 1966 championship winning team,

This case study will to examine wheelchair rugby, and how Great Britain Wheelchair Rugby Limited organises play, qualifications, the specialist equipment used in the sport, as well as the development of the sport with in the UK. This is due to the author’s ability to rugby and interest in how rugby has been developed into a disability sport.

The film wasn’t about that 13-0 record and winning a state championship, but the struggle that came with it and all the hardships they had to deal and get past. Racism, prejudice, compassion and love were all key aspects of this film as shown. The racism, prejudice of the team when they first met was severe and had been changed. The love and compassion came as the team grew to become one unit and love each other and be able to become something more powerful than they could be by themselves.

How the director achieved their purpose was through all of the elements of film combined in this movie. For example, the lighting in a few scenes reflected the mood. In one scene it was dim, monochrome, and dull. I feel the sense of the lighting really gave the feeling of what the director was trying to pursue. Another example is camera angles and techniques during the sports scenes. Sports scenes are difficult to film because of the constant movement and the scenes incorporating sports were done perfectly. The acting, writing, and music was genuinely beautiful. The acting really made me feel like that it was in the 1940s by the way they talked and the writing was excellent and I thoroughly enjoyed it and how it was written. There wasn’t much music in this movie but when there was it related to the scene and was beautiful. As an example, during those intense sports scene, intense music would play. There are many strengths to this movie including the acting, directing, and honestly the overall performance, in my opinion. One weakness though was the language (cursing) used throughout the movie. Even though it was historically accurate for the way they talked, I feel like the movie could’ve been just as successful without it. My overall response to this movie is that it was intriguing to watch. I say this because I found the storyline and how that it was about Jackie Robinson and what he went through interesting,

I thought the ethnographic work done by Dr. Myerhoff was done very well. She went into great detail about the rituals and parties that these elders had at their senior center. She did an amazing job of asking for descriptive feedback from the Jewish elders. This gave me a deeper understanding of their culture and how it affects them as individuals. This documentary is more mindful of the culture than the last film on Sara Baartman. I also liked how the film addressed the problem of valuing looks in our society. When we should be valuing what’s on the inside and not what’s on the

The Miracle Movie in 1980 Victory of U.S. Olympic Ice Hockey Team and the Soviet Union. This movie show that the coach make the team united and won the game.

This Movie also shows viewers how to be good sports although they encounter with one of the higher class kids of their neighborhood of course Benny and his team win and celebrate their victory by going to the local carnival and end up doing the most stupid things any of them could think of. Other things i also liked about this movie is that they worked as a team and help each other when needed also how most of them still were friends when older. Things i don't like about the Movie is how they can be very hard headed when it came to getting Smalls Ball back Smalls says that instead of trying to sneak up on the beast maybe asking Mr.Mertle if he can get the ball back Squints tells Smalls that Mr.Mertle was one of the meanest old man ever, but that wasn't the case

The team itself composes the hero. Their call to adventure is when all the athletes have the opportunity to try out for the Olympics. They meet with their mentor, Herb Brooks, and get the encouragement to play their best for an opportunity on the team. The ordeal in the film is how they are losing and need to win if they want the gold medal. Finally, the reward of Miracle is going from an underdog team of college athletes to a team of gold medalists.

Mazzello (The Pacific), having based the film on his own brother's disappoint of not reaching the major leagues, as I said early, isn't perfect. The film jumps in and out of rhythm, almost like he didn't want to edit anything. Event with that, though, the cast and characters are likable enough to keep you interested. The film is at it's best during the scenes focusing on the camaraderie or lack of inside the 12 man unit. Some might say the characters are bit stereotypical, but from my experience of cover sports, (yah this nerd use to do that), and being around athletics, I'd say I've met a lot of these guys before.

Although most of the material was that in the movie related to something we have learned previously in the course, it still offered new insight to certain aspects. One of the things I liked most about the documentary was as stated before was its ability to incorporate relatively everything we learned in the class. Such as having people from other documentaries, books and articles. Another thing I liked about the documentary was how despite reviewing a lot of material, it also gave real-life accounts of what was going on during that time. Overall the documentary sparked the interest in me to understanding more about how minorities, homosexuals, and hemophiliacs were treated before after and during the AIDS

This is a movie about a baseball team that not succeed on the baseball season, the couch of the team Rug Rats found Mikey Tussther that suffer from Asperger´s Syndrom, and his coming on the team makes them succeed.

Additionally, my favorite element of the documentary is within Part 1, which relives his great football career. O. J. was responsible for the resurrection of football at University of Southern California, the Buffalo Bills, and ended with a Hall of Fame career. Bringing back pleasant memories of his dominance and exploding into the limelight, O. J. seemed like the perfect role model for young impressionable young Black men such as myself. Watching old highlights film, especially with Buffalo and the offensive line which included two local players, Reggie McKenzie, U of M, and Joe DeLamielleure, MSU alumni was refreshing.

What I enjoyed most about the film was that the information that they provided was easy to understand and something that I actually never heard of before. You are not taught much about this specific type of diet. I was very overweight when I was a child and still am not in optimal shape to date. Watching this film provided me with

I thought that this movie was very interesting. I think that taking a look at how other countries governments and understand what works and what doesn't work and how to maybe apply that to our country. One of the things that I thought was the most interesting was the whole idea of the school lunches in France and how it compares to the us. In America many people and groups have tired to get school lunches to be healthier and more nutritious but it just doesn't add up to what France is doing. I think that the fact that they have meetings about what the kids eat everyday is something that is very important and something that we need to adapt here in America. The way that kids eat in France at school and all over Europe is something that i feel we need to take into consideration. Kids in America constantly eat junk food and are over weight and if we do start making lunches like the schools in France then maybe the kids in schools can be a little healthier.

The film is quite interesting and exposes several themes to its viewer; societal control, utopian creation, allusions to the Allegory of the Cave, and most importantly existentialism. It is intended to be a comedic drama. This is a rare genre, more rare than most other genres anyway. Creating drama and still maintaining a comedic element is a paradox yet this film seems to pull it off masterfully. Very well regarded by many critics yet
