I would love to wake up and listen to the positive events on the news instead of all the negative events. I would love to walk outside at night without thinking about someone jumping me. After watching this movie, it really had me thinking about all the gun violence in the United States. I am still shocked at the number of killings resulting from gun violence. I wish there would be something I could do to help the number go down but I’m just one person with a little
The overall opinion of Crash was that racism will never change, and that there is no way to stop it. It also showed how all cultures is prejudice to each other, in more ways than one. In some ways this is an agreeable statement but for the most part is false. This is because racism can be stopped there just has to be many people dedicated to stopping it and would have to take a significant amount of steps to stop it.
There should absolutely be a checks and balances system within the journalism world. This would keep journalists from not making up stories such as Stephen Glass who went above and beyond when it came to doing it whatever it took to get a story. in an interview with CBS, he explained flat out as to why he fabricated a majority of his stories saying that he did because he loved the feeling of people liking what he wrote. This I feel, is something that any journalist could very easily fall into without the constant pressure of knowing a twin tattle-tale brother is right next to you watching and verifying your every report. A journalist's credibility is one of the most important things they have to keep their career alive and people listening to the news that they release.
This is due to the power of group pressure which suppresses and shuns the views of the individual. The townspeople in this story are not evil. Individually, many of them seem downcast and hesitant about the lottery, dreading what is to come. Also, many of the townspeople feel empathy for the younger villagers showing relief when they are not picked. Joe Romano conveys this in his essay “Sacrifice, Solidarity, and Senselessness” by stating, “The fear that the village girls show when they see Nancy choose her slip of paper and the “general sigh” that the crowd exhibits fear that the village feels as it risks its youngest members” (Romano 849).
Bias Analysis #1: Long Editorial I know not one person whom believes that the new reported on television is not liberally biased. I often come home to find my father complaining about the media’s slant towards democratic views yet he is frequently preaching what they report as fact. These so called “truthful” accounts are delivered in a similar way as the orchestrated scenes of movie; just as movies are created to induce a certain emotion or address a question, media coverage is meant to fuel paranoia and incite a desire for change which would benefit a minority of people. In Bernard Goldberg’s book Bias: A CBS Insider Exposes How the Media Distort the News, he attempts to tackle the issue of liberal media bias in the large East-coast news organizations. In his narrative, Goldberg begins by explaining his current situation of exile from media coverage despite his 28 years of service.
Someone doesn’t simply wake up and think “…oh what a beautiful day to randomly start filming a documentary…” But in the film “catfish”, this happens to be case; we are expected to believe that the producers, Ariel and Henry, randomly began filming the online facebook interaction between Nev and Megan without the slightest hint or knowledge on the events that were about to unfold. Pardon my French, but that to me is complete bullshit! I believe the producers must have been well aware of the circumstances and what was going on in Nev’s life before they started filming the “documentary”. This is not to say that the entire film was staged, but it certainly brings suspicion to the contexts of the
People are taught to feel ashamed of their looks so that they would never question getting cosmetic surgery to fit in. However, if everyone were an ugly, perhaps no one would be considered ugly. However, the pretty society has perfectly good reasons for their laws. For one thing, the previous society, now known as the “Rusties,” is remembered as a wasteful culture, one that nearly destroyed the planet. Pretties live in isolation from nature so that they will not destroy it.
But in my opinion, it could have been prevented. If the parents were not so careless about their children, they would have discovered all the illegal actions they were doing and all of the explosives they were assembling. Once the shooting commended, the police were very late in arriving to the scene. Upon arrival they were very unresponsive and did not react well at all. They should have taken the school under
Having had such a traumatic childhood filled with sexual abuse and tragedy he decides to change everything to make it right for him and all of his friends whose lives were also filled with tragedy. During the movie the audience was clueless on what was going to happen next. We wonder is Evan would ever be able to make things right for him and his troubled friends to each have a better present and future. Evans several attempts to have everything right is what made the movie suspenseful and exciting The theatrical cut of the movie which was the cut chosen to end the movie resolved the problem, but wasn’t as exciting as one would have predict it to be. This Movie being a psychological “thriller” you would think the ending would leave viewers with a mindset of us making are own prediction of what was going to happen next.
Instead of the perfect heist, Cobb and his team of specialists have to pull off the reverse: their task is not to steal an idea but to plant one. Ultimately, no amount of careful planning or expertise can prepare the team for the dangerous enemy that seems to predict their every move; an enemy that only Cobb could have seen coming. In many films the main themes and pieces of the puzzle are force feed to the audience, with numerous reiterations to keep everyone on the same line, making sure they all cross at the same finish. Do they really need to spell it out completely every time? He sees dead people, check, got it; thanks.
