Even The Rain Analysis

1130 Words5 Pages

In the movie, Even the Rain, I was very furious the whole entire time. I am from a first world country. I have never struggled my entire life. I live in a 3,000 square foot home with my father, dog, and brother. We have hoses, showers, sinks, a well, sprinklers, and many other items at my house that produce water. I have never had my electricity shut off or never starved. This is because not only does my father own a pizza shop, it is because I live in the United States of America. The movie, Even the Rain, made me realize, people do not care about others, unless they are being affected by the same problem as the person next to them.
I forget how privileged I am a lot, based on where I live. The film takes place in Bolivia, the poorest country in South Africa. Costa, the films executive producer picked it because of how cheap it is. Costa pays the actors two dollars a day. This …show more content…

She is claiming it will be big news. Costa objects. This did not surprise me at all, not only because Costa only cared about himself, but he probably did not think of this issue as a big deal. He will never have to deal with one of the three basic necessities in his life all of a sudden being taken away. He later in the film bribes Daniel, the main character, who is an avid part in the protest against the Bolivian Government, who is trying to take his water away from him. Costa only bribes him because he needs Daniel for the movie, and is trying to get him to stop protesting because he does not want Daniel getting hurt because he is a main part in the film. He does not do it out of care for Daniel, it is just for the movie. He never once expressed his concern over the water crisis until the near end of the movie. But this part of the movie bothered me because Costa once again did not understand, he for one minute did not put himself into their

    Of all the terrible events in history, the Holocaust may be the worst of them all. This tragedy was so terrible, I cannot think of the ones who instigated it as human beings. It was against many morals and standards that the world views today as common ethics. The most terrible part of this is, perhaps, how today’s new and younger generations are not sufficiently educated about this disaster. Although many younger generations do not know about the Holocaust, it’s importance should be emphasised in today’s society to learn from it, to realize that every human life is important, and to appreciate the blessings of the present day.

    It provides a profound window into one of the most incredible stories to ever be told. As a reader you feel like a silent member of the family as Jeanette describes the events in such vivid detail and emotion. The raw emotion you feel from the words on a page are amplified tenfold as the movie brings the novel alive. The brilliance from the movie shines in the director’s choice of cuts, shots and music selection. A problem that most books turned novel is that the director tries to make the movie their own as opposed to building the movie on the foundation the book has already provided.

The last scenes featured the women after the Nazis abandoned them and them on the march itself. These scenes were very powerful because they made me think about the horrors those women had to endure.

I cannot forget the eyes of a proud black woman who finally got to sit on the front row of a bus. It’s amazing that such small things can make people happy. I believe that this movie’s goal is not only to educate us on the history of United States, but also to urge us to think progressively, and to believe that hard work is always rewarded, as long as you have a dream and your intentions are

The filmmakers found a way to follow the narrative with it's statistics and interviews blending in a way to keep my attention without me wanting to shoot myself in the face due to boredom, which is great. The way ethos, pathos, and logos weaved together for the end product was certainly admirable. I wasn't concerned with the issue at all when going into the interview, but if I'm going to be honest, I still don’t really care. I understand the issues and what they're doing to both the world and it's inhabitants, but I think bottled anything has become so integrated into society.
