The Misunderstanding In The Movie 'Out'
The conflict in the movie is related to the Wall of Fame in pizzeria which consists solely of the pictures of Italian-Americans. Buggin' Out points that out as the misunderstanding since Sal’s pizzeria is situated in the black district. Sal refuses to feature African-American stars on the wall as he considers this place to be Italian pizzeria. Buggin' Out who is protesting against this kind of discrimination starts to look for the allies to make a protest and convince Sal to treat everyone as equals. No one in the city wants to support him as they respect Sal and consider this initiative to be a whim.

    In Outlier, Malcolm Gladwell argues an “opportunity” is the important key which lead people from one success to another success (5). He proves his point to the readers by an example that seems normal to a strong evidence about the “physical maturity” in which affect by the birth month gap (24). I agree with him about the meaning of an outlier who must “do things that are out of the ordinary” (17) and those “genuine outlier” hockey players “didn’t start out an outlier”, yet “he started out just a little bit better” (31). His viewpoint about those sport games not only precisely substantiate, but it also exactly justify the impact of family background that certainly affect individuals’ success. Gladwell makes me to realize that real life success…

    In about the 19th minutes into the movie, the memorable scene that captures my attention is when Sal serve a slice of pizza to a Customer of the pizzeria on a pice of napkin and ask to the costumer pay the slice of pizza for overpriced. Th next scene pans to the Wall of Fame where the customer who just got serve the pizza noticed that this friend (Brother) Spike is not on the wall. Sal then told the customer to have their own place and he can hang a picture of his brother( Spike) and other relative. Sal then made the claim that since he own the place he has the right to do whatever he wants. This scene almost escalated into violent when Sal grabbed a baseball bat but he was stopped by Vito and Pino. This specific scene grabbed my attention…

    The movie “Walkout” is a movie that tells the story of students who struggle in the high school rights that are given to them. The students boycotted the high schools to improve their way of education. This money was an interesting movie that showed the history of “Chicanos” who are also known as people of Mexican descent. The movie did a great job in showing the struggle that the Chicanos had to go through so they could improve the quality of education that was given to them. One part that I especially love about the movie is when the main protagonist of the movie “Paula Crisostomo” was told by her father to never join a boycotting group as it could change her way opportunities. Paula continuously tries to talk with a group of people who want…

    Both the movie “Separate but Equal”, and the article “ How the Supreme Court Arrives at Decisions” by William J. Brennan, Jr., shows how the Supreme Court deals with issues, and what it takes for them to come up with a decision. It is a very complicated process because they have to be able to interpret the text of thee Constitution and come up with a ruling which so often can change a current law and affect every citizen in the United States. If they do not take the time need then it can be catastrophic for the country. In “Separate but Equal” all the justices had different views on the issue concerning racial segregation in public schools. Some of these views had to do with what state the Justices came from and what those particular states believed in and represented, and some felt that way on a personal level. Decisions like that should not be made based on personal preference or because of where you were born and raised. Because of these multiple opposing opinions, it was very difficult for the Supreme Court to come to a ruling on this case. In the article, Brennan says that Justices represent the citizens who elected them their representative, and they make their decisions based on the law.…

    In the 2002 Film “Gangs of New York” by Martin Scorsese we see New York City reshaped and changed through cultural influence of feuding individuals and groups with different ideas. On the surface the movie seems to have a straight forward theme but in the back ground we see a cultural shift as immigrants come into America and New York City. In the movie we see the political influence during that time in history, and we see social status and classes defined by material possessions such as clothing and other belongings. The movie shows the feud between two gangs who fight for dominance of the five points based off who was born in the country…

    I loved the film See What I’m Saying; it was filled with new insights about deaf culture and people. This movie follows the life of TL Forsber, singer; Bob Hiltermann, drummer; Robert DeMayo, actor; and CJ Jones, A Deaf Icon. Once I got home from school, I quickly checked Netflix to see if Netflix carries it. My hopes were crushed. There were not many things about the film I did not like, are how hearing people treated deaf people and what troubles follow four deaf entertainers; a comic, drummer, actor and a singer as they attempt to cross over to mainstream audiences. An example is when a deaf man was looking for apartments in his price range he had to use this video chat and the landlord just hung up on him when the interrupter asked the landlord if they have used one of these video chats. I could not believe it the landlord just hung up. Another example, it is hard enough for hearing people to make it in the acting world, so it must be even hard for deaf people and an African American deaf person too and Robert’s interview about his last interactions with his mom using an interpreter.…

    Core memories are what shape our lives and make us who we are. They help us realize who we are and what we care about. There are many different ways these memories are made. Some of them being when we were laughing or doing something we love. These memories are what shape our personality. Which allows us to act the way we do towards different things. I believe that these memories can be changed but only if something substantial happens that makes them change. Such as one of your parents cheating on the other or hurting yourself doing the thing you love. If one of these is to change then everything about you changes. Such as your personality and attitude. Core memories were one of the biggest factors in Riley's personality in the movie Inside Out.…

    Another great example of the ideology of this film is the neighborhood view of the Korean owned grocery store. At one point in the film the three black men are sitting across the street from the store talking. One of them refers to the store as a shame. He expresses his annoyance that the Koreans were able to run a successful business so quickly after arriving in the city. He says that if there were ever a black-owned store he would be the first in line to spend his dollar. In response one of the…

    During our First Year Experience classes, we have been learning about a common theme of balance. Balance can be defined simply as stability. It doesn’t need to be a perfect slice down the middle but should incorporate both sides of a scenario. Through the movie, Inside Out, and an article about adolescent development and its correlation to suicide, I learned more about how to apply balance to my life.…

    The films, ‘The Butler’ and ‘The Intouchables’ are representations of the ordeals that African American’s were forced to go through in the past years and the implications of such experiences to the current production of films. It is without any doubt that because of the inferior status that was given to African Americans, most films that are produced today exhibit African Americans to be of a lesser status (Toledano and Olivier 5; Ager and Aubyn 1). For example, in both of the aforementioned films, black people are conveyed as servants (Toledano and Olivier 5; Ager and Aubyn 1). To add onto this, in the film, ‘The Intouchables,’ readers are told of the actuality that Driss served a jail time for a crime that he had committed thus showing that African Americans were stereotyped as criminals by nature.…
