On “October 14, 2003”(Steve Bartman Incident-Wikipedia), Steve Bartman made a mistake that would change his life for good. Alex Gibney made a documentary called “Catching Hell” to explain how one man deserves an apologize from “40,000” (“Catching Hell”) Cub fans for an act that was only human. Many people think Steve Bartman needs to apologize for what he did to the Cubs and their fans, but Alex Gibney has disagreed with the fans. There could be consequences and it could have made the matter even worse than it was. The media would heighten their stories and make rumors of Steve. There is always a possibility for Steve to not be forgiven by the fans. Steve would risk his life coming out into the public’s eye once more. He could get more death threats from fans who still hold a grudge with Bartman. Steve wants to be in hiding and be divulged in his identity. Alex made clear for everyone who watches his documentary, that Steve’s life would never be the same until the media and fans apologized for what they did to Steve. There is a quote in the documentary stated by Alex Gibney, “There were a lot of fans that were being pretty unfair …show more content…

There were many emotions Steve felt that I could almost feel myself while watching. If a baseball was flying over to you, would you try to catch it or just let the precious object fall? Everyone would do the obvious choice in this situation and try to catch the ball. There were others in the crowd by Bartman, who were trying to reach for the ball. Alex brought in some of those fans into his documentary and it helped support his point about the fans apologizing to Steve for attempting what any Cub fan would do, try to catch that thousand dollar

    In my English class I read the book called Monster written by Walter Dean Myers. It was about a young man called Steve Harmon who was arrested for allegedly being a part of a crime gone horribly wrong, which sadly resulted in a man losing his life. It also spoke about what Steve had to endure throughout that entire process of that trail. In the end even tho Steve knew that the crime will occur he still was found not guilty. I believe that Steve Harmon should have been found not guilty because, he did not give a signal and he also did not receive any part of the money that taken from the robbery.

  • Steve Harmon Is Guilty Essay

    806 Words  | 4 Pages

    Steve Harmons actions depicted his characteristics and we can, therefore, conclude that Steve Harmon is a liar as he lied under oath. Steve was also a guilt-ridden man ashamed of his actions. People who disagree may claim that Steve was undoubtedly innocent as Lorelle Henry, a witness, declared that there were only 2 people, proven to be James King and Bobo Evans, inside the store who eventually murdered Mr.Nesbitt. This may be a strong argument because it shows that Steve was not in the drugstore and could be really innocent. On the contrary, however, Steve’s job was just supposed to be a lookout and ensure that the drugstore was clear of cops or anyone inside.

It was Lou Gehrig, tributes, honors, gifts heaped upon him, getting an overabundance of the thing he wanted least—sympathy. But it wasn’t maudlin. His friends were just letting their hair down in their earnestness to pay him honor. And they stopped just short of a good, mass cry.”

    One Missed Call by the French director Eric Valette was one of the most known films in the early 2000’s. Mostly known for the incredible thrill it gave audiences, but not a lot of people are aware that this 2008 film was a remake of a 2003 Japanese film One Missed Call by Takashi Miike. This is mostly because the original was Japanese and the remake is an American film, but if you took the two films and put them right beside each other and not taking the actors in consideration they are almost exactly the same. So why did Eric Valette remake the film?
