Almost all films were still being made in black and white, so the switch from black and white to color would have had a special significance in 1939 when the movie was made. "The Wizard of Oz" was a major achievement when you consider that it was filmed nearly three-quarters of a century ago.
Compare and Contrast Essay Ridley Scott, despite waiting until he was almost forty years old to make his first film, quickly became one of the most respected directors working in Hollywood. Scott was regarded as one of the best to his peers, thanks to classics like Alien (1979) and Blade Runner (1982). However, he did suffer harsh criticism, particularly with Thelma and Louise (1991), 1492: The Conquest of Paradise (1992), and White Squall (1996). Most directors would have wilted under the crushing failure, but Scott’s imperviousness to failure and drive to soldier on led him to achieve enormous success, starting with his Oscar-winning historical epic, Gladiator (2006), and American Gangster (2007), which earned the director his third Academy Award nomination for Best Director.

Universal Health Care System There is a saying from Chinese, “Health is wealth”. In the United States, American government does not care a fig for healthcare system because American government thought American healthcare system is better than other countries in the world, and it had experiences about healthcare system.

I feel strongly about immigration in the United States of America. I believe that people should be able to live where ever they want in the world without being treated as less than equal. They should be able to have the same opportunities as the citizens of the United States without having to file for a green card. Immigrants should not have to endure mental, emotional and physical distress caused by Americans.
