Twelve angry men is a 1957 American Film that originated from a play of Reginald Rose and has been directed to a film by Sidney Lumet. The movie is not just about the outcome of the trial of a Puerto Rican youth who has been accused of murdering his father, but also shows how the beliefs and attitudes of the twelve jurors lead to his acquittal. Aside from that, this movie also shows Leadership traits that can help every individual on developing their leadership capabilities. The story started when the twelve jurors were put together in a sweltering deliberation room somewhere in America where they have been asked for their verdicts whether to put the child on chair or not. Eleven of them unanimously voted that the youth is guilty and must be…

The modern pursuit for resources to build society has left a negative impact on our environment. While many communities need industry to live, as it offers employment and a way to survive, it also is poising the backyards of the people that work in industry. The film “On Coal River”, emphasizes this dangerous situation.…

At first sight Salt of the Earth and On the Waterfront seem two structurally independent and unrelated movies that only share some basic theme elements in their plot. However, analyzing both, side by side and frame by frame, can give us a more profound understanding of the American film industry, Hollywood in particular, and its relation to the McCarthyism in 1950s, a dark chapter in the US history.…
The story was based upon black men from the North, fighting for slavery that was going on in the South. The group of men fighting was called the 54th. Even though the chance of losing the freedom, that each and every black man held, each fought for something that should be changed. With the strength and courage that each man had, they had the heart to go on.…
There are many differences and similarities in the book and movie Our America. The book and the movie Our America is a story about two best friends, both teenagers named LeAlan and Lloyd. They went throughout their neighborhood recording everything that happens in their daily life and what happens in their neighborhood on a daily basis. The reason it is called Our America is because they want to show the readers “their America” in the ghetto. I think that the book and the movie version of Our America have more differences than similarities.…
The documentary 13th, was an eye opening experience. It was a film in which it displayed issues of violence, crime, and race. In particular, I found it very interesting how the documentary stigmatized black men as violent individuals. How did they come up with this stigmatization? Was it based off of past historical events such as slavery and segregation? Anyone can be considered violent. Someone's race doesn’t define whether or not they are violent; it is an individual’s actions that determines whether they are considered a violent individual or not. Also, I found it very interesting how the amount of arrests increased each year due to the drug war. I didn’t realize that drugs were a huge issue in our country. I thought the biggest issue…

Negroland, written by Margo Jefferson, is a memoir about her life, as wells as others in 1947 Chicago. In the book, Negroland residents acquire “provisional privilege” and aim to live their life’s away from the shadows of their poorer, darker counterpart. What particularly stood out to me the most about Negroland was their black skin, but despite the racially charged era, Negroland members utilized the freedom of opportunities allowed that other African Americans were not afforded. Nevertheless, the privilege they acquired were restricted every time they grabbed those opportunities, and further detained black elites from supporting their middle to lower class African Americans.…
Living back then in 1900’s for African Americans wasn’t easy at all. Dealing with slavery the African Americans had gotten the chance to enlist in the military as some of them did, they had thought that by doing so maybe on their return home and by doing right by fighting they would be looked upon as soldiers instead of slaves. “It was seen that though the African Americans comprised just 10 percent of the US population, 13 percent of the inductees were blacks.” The African Americans knew that enlisting the army wouldn’t be easy for them, but they had hoped that in doing so they would gain respect.…
In the past, there were direct discrimination toward African Americans such as police brutality and racial stereotype about African Americans. Policemen stopped the marching violently when they knew that those African Americans are protesting the rights they always deserve. People produced songs with lyrics like “if you are white, you are fine; if you are black, go back, go back”, and they published cartoons that had African Americans been drew in an ugly and terrifying way. Those are the dues African Americans have to pay, and they suffered all these terrible acts of the white people in order to survive in the United States. This film uses the unavoidable facts about the discriminations African Americans suffered to emphasize the big ideas that African Americans have done a lot of effort to gain their freedom should always be memorable by the people of the world. Nobody should ever deny African Americans’ suffering because those are part of the U.S…
This classic hero was done good in this modern rendition of a very old storyline. Steve Rogers, a sickly young man turned super soldier, who wanted nothing more than to fight alongside his fellow Americans, and childhood best friend, captured the hearts of action and comic book lovers.In a perfect combonation of writing and direction, the movie ensures that the viewer falls in love with Steve Rogers before they made him into a true hero. I particularly enjoyed Steve’s character growth out of simply the good for the sake of good trope that's assigned to so many righteous characters, as they progressed his storyline and he learned more about the realities of such a brutal…
