    The settings I imagined while reading the book were very different from what I saw in the movie. Some of the characters such as Kenny and Byron were shorter than I imagined, but Joetta was taller than I imagined her and Grandma Sands looked very different than I imagined. I thought she would be tiny, really old looking, and very mean. She wasn’t really any of those. The settings were very different such as the church and the Watsons house. I thought they would be more dated. Their house wasn’t modern, but wasn’t as old as I imagined from the context clues in the book. Overall I liked the movie better because it had more information about racism and I felt I learned more about it. I think I would like the movie even better if it had Rufus as a character, but it was still a great…

    The amount of violence and racism in at the college really surprised me and made me disgusted. Although there is still some discrimination in the world it was a shock of how much the movie showed the social stereotypes of races. An example of this would be the relationship of the cops with the African Americans. In the police's eyes the whites never do anything wrong and that the black people…

    Both story and movie portray a future where everyone is mentally, physically, and socially equal. The people who made the film did not portray it well in most areas. The character Harrison Bergeron in both the movie and story was described differently. Harrison’s father wears a metal handicap radio in his ear. The government in the story regulates mostly everything and in the movie they it forces the people to obey the laws that are announced. The story shows the character Harrison as if he is superman, but the film does not show that at all.…

    LeAlan And Lloyd are best friends and reporters but they start to split since LeAlan graduated and Lloyd failed 12th grade and didn’t go to graduation with LeAlan. Also the book didn’t write about the principle thinking that LeAlan and Lloyd was saying all these bad things about the hood that was not true.The reason why I think that there are so many differences in the book and movie is because LeAlan grandmother was singing her favorite song in the movie and the book never said that she was singing her favorite song. I like the movie better because it shows more things that never happened in the book. I like the book a little bit because it shows more things that never happened in the movie. The book and movie versions of Our America have many differences such as the movie shows and tells that Duane got shot and the book never said that Duane got shot.…

    Boyz N the Hood

    “Boyz N the Hood” is one of the many films from the 1990’s that displayed gang violence among African-Americans in urban areas such as “Juice,” “South Central,” and “Menace II Society.” However, “Boyz N the Hood” is known for more than just depicting violence. The Library of Congress had place it on preservation in its’ National Film Registry and even referred to it as “culturally significant” in 2002. Never realizing it after watching it the first few times, this film gives a perspective on what the typical African-American family is like during this period. 2 of the families the movie focused on the most were Tre’s and Doughboy’s. They shared a lot of differences and a few similarities but the most common factor is that their parents weren’t together.…

    Another aspect that both movies have in common is that they are much more true when it comes to showing the reality of African Americans in the 50s and 60s. The scenes where the journalist travels through hitchhiking are very intense because they show the attitude of white men towards black men, their perverse fascination over the subject of Afro American men lust after “their” women. It unmistakably pictures how they…

    In my opinion, I though the film was powerful and overwhelming at times. As, the public figures and political activists gave a lot of information. Analyzing the film, you see how America’s complex prison system affects people of color. It is shocking. Because despite living in a country that gives liberty to all…

    The two computers “All the Troubles in the World” and “Minority Report” are both machines that can predict the future, but they operate in different ways. The computer in Minority Report is actually 3 human beings with psychic powers. However the computer in “All the Troubles in the World” is actually a super computer that becomes so complex it starts to act like a human. Some other differences are that Multivac controls the world’s economy and can predict everybody’s actions before the people can even think about doing it, while the Pre-Cogs can only predicts murders with vague visions. The ways the two machines operate are vastly different; the Pre-cogs need a technician to constant watch them and special medication, but all Multivac needs are replacement parts to be installed occasionally. People also see Multivac as a god as it can predict almost anything with the data its collected. The Pre-Cogs on the other hand are constantly doubted as some people don’t believe they are 100% accurate. Although the two machines have many differences they are similar in some aspects, they both can predict murders and a police force can stop it before it happens. Both of the universes heavily rely on the two machines to make the world a better place. Overall the two stories “All the Troubles of the World” and “Minority Report” have similar concepts but are very different when you look at how the machines function.…

    Straight Outta Compton is considered to be one of most impactful and noteworthy films of 2015. Directed by F. Gary Gray, this superb biopic of the infamous rap group N.W.A. (N*ggaz Wit Attitudes), captures the lives of N.W.A, as well as their rise to rap supremacy. This film also displays many of the issues that occurred in the late 80’s, early 90’s era such as racial injustice, police brutality, and gang violence. Sad to say, many of the issues presented in the film are still very prevalent today. I feel that this is a remarkable biopic. This film should be viewed by fans of hip hop, old and young because the acting quality is remarkable, the music in the film was still outstanding and it attracts a much younger audience, the realism of this movie was incredible.…

    The interesting element in this movie is that it not only reflects the social problems, but also provides reason for the negative social behavior. Another reason is that this movie provides a chance to study the social problems and other concerns associated with the Blacks in that society. Despite the fact that this movie is directly about the crime and violence in Blacks, there are various symbolic interaction in this movie that proves the problems of social hatred and conflicts in the society due to the structure and function of society. There are various theories of sociology which can assist in understanding all these factors presented in this movie.…

    The movie that I chose to write about is the Blind Side. What I think this movie is really about is, exactly what I watched. The movie is a true story about a real life event. It was about a white family taking in a homeless black boy that goes to the same school as her children. She feels very sorry for him, when she sees him walking in the pouring down rain in shorts and a tee shirt. She wants to help him and give him a better life. At first she has him sleeping on the couch, and eventually she gives him a room of his own. She also buys him new clothes, things he has never had before. The family helps educate him and gets him to play football and helps him to get a scholarship to a great college. They reached out to a person that did not have a chance, and not only became a family for him, but gave him a life that he would not otherwise have had.…

    The program enhances my opinion about race, privilege and poverty because the newer residents in the community have the money to buy the run-down homes in the community, while the older residents who can’t afford to keep their homes because they don’t have enough money are being forced out the neighborhood. One of the current residents that live in the community is extremely sick and has trouble with her liver. She lived on disability insurance and couldn’t afford to fix her home or move the cars that were currently in the back of her yard. At the end of the documentary, she dies and her home is eventually repaired and sold. There was a town hall meeting in the community when the residents were telling the officials what their problems were. I think that there were a few residents that were angry about the fact that the area was slowly being turned into a Historic…

    In his 1998 book, Life the Movie: How Entertainment Conquered Reality, Neil Gabler wrote, “One does not necessarily have to cluck in disapproval to admit that entertainment is … mindless, formulaic, predictable and subversive.” What Gabler is trying to say is that you do not have to be against entertainment, to know it to be droll. TheDailyGreen.com reported that the average teenager spends over 50 hours submerged in the world of the media per week, that’s 30% of the week, an increase from five years ago. This lost time could be used to further education, play sports, or contribute to our country. We as members of a society must push for a change in entertainment, mainly in the form of television, before the amount of mind-numbing ‘pleasure’ we are being exposed to plunges our society into social disorder and personal atrophy.…
