Legion
Legion the movie was about a how a group of people meets at a restaurant called paradise falls. They then meet an old woman who turns out not be your regular person. Confused about what is going on, a man by the name Michael shows up and explains the unusual phenomenon that has taken place. He tells them that God is unsatisfied with humanity and he has sent people like the old woman to come and destroy them. Just like before God was mad at humanity and sent a flood to wipeout the earth (the bible). Michael also said that he was the angel Michael and that he did not follow Gods instructions because he has seen good within one of the main characters. One of the people trapped in the restaurant is pregnant and the angel said that the baby that is inside of her will stop everything but it has to be born first. The group of people work together to fight off the creatures until the baby is finally born. The movie ends with Charlie holding her baby and Jeep her boyfriend driving down the road together. This movie appealed to me because of the plot with God being mad at humanity and that one soul could save everyone. It shows me that even though there are bad people in the world do not just get mad and say I do not care because there is still good people out there. In fact one of my favorite quotes from the movie was when Jeep asked the angel Michael “why didn’t you lose faith,” he said “I have watched you people wage in war but in the midst of all this darkness, I see some people who will not give up even though they know all hope is lost.” He finishes by saying “some realizes that being lost is so close to being found.” I chose that quote as my favorite because it is so true. For example if you look at our history, you will notice that when there is a decline there is always an increase. The

    The movie was very powerful just to learn about hate crime and how it attracted a lot of attention from media as well as public all over the world due to his tragic death. Matthew was the type of person that was very approachable and always put his family and friends first. Even though the death of Matthew Shepard was undeserved I definitely think that some good has come out of it because it made people realize how much violence and hatred there in the world and what it can turn into. This tragedy helped the nation wake up to the fact that hate and discrimination still lives in our communities, schools and families. Mr. Dennis Shepard gave speech in tribute to his son Matthew brought tears in my eyes. I was able to connect and engage to that moment. That moment touched me so much that I couldn’t stop crying.…

Like The Wizard of Oz, War of the Worlds, and Gone with the Wind, Angels with Dirty Faces was a very popular, enjoyable movie for the American people. Even though it was loved, it was different from the rest. It was a gangster movie with a twist.…

    This essay will take an in-depth look at the history of Hollywood during the late 60s and early 70s. This period of time is considered to have been a renaissance for American cinema, and was titled the ‘New Hollywood’ by cotemporary critics of the time. In order to understand the changes that Hollywood went through the late ‘60s, you first have to examine the preceding era of Hollywood filmmaking during the 30s and 40s. This was a period that is commonly referred to as Hollywood’s Golden Age; when the dream factories were in full swing and the audiences were in regular attendance. This period of time could be defined by a number of social, political or economic contexts, but it’s the filmmaking practices that were employed at the time which…

I had never seen it before so I enjoyed trying to see the perspective I was looking at. I received a deeper understanding as to why he was so determined and why his values seemed to be so important to him. I noticed that although he was going through so much, he stuck by his own and believed in himself. When I used conflict to observe Fortune, he caught me as the conflict…
