HLM Reflection
1. Even having prior knowledge about the HLM watching this movie really gave me an idea of how much of a struggle it is to live in the HLM. Watching this movie one major idea that I had developed is the fact that the ideology of the people living inside the HLM view life very negatively as compared to someone who would live outside in the HLM. Through out the movie the characters saw everything with a mind of struggle looking at everyone else as better off than they were which fueled their anger towards life. In the movie there was an on going fear that the people in the HLM’s would never make it out, it seemed that the only other option was to fight for themselves to become known and to give a voice to the desperate people of the HLM.

From my prospective the filming of the movie was phenomenal. Starting off with the casting, the selection of the different variety of characters was a good choice because with in the views of the HLM there was a view of life from a Muslim, a Jew, and an African America prospective. Because of the variety of characters, each character also had a different reaction to situations, which made the movie more interesting. Though there was a lot of strong vulgarity I think it matched the vibe and setting of the movie well. It showed that the surroundings and the harshness of the HLM shaped the characters, which gave some authenticity to movie. The vulgarity also gave emotion and feeling to the characters responses. I felt that the order in which the events occurred in the movie also played a key role because it lured me in to the next scene wondering what was going to happen. Last but not least the filming of the movie was fantastic. I expected a grainy picture but it was clear and modern and was filmed in a realistic way almost as if from a first person prospective/view. I felt the way it was filmed was almost like propaganda in which everything filmed was planed: the sirens in the background, the dilapidated buildings, the aftermath mess of riots, the graffiti

White Privilege: Documentary Analysis
748 Words | 3 PagesThis documentary really shed light on major issues that are happening in the world today. One thing that stood out to me was the word ghetto. When that young woman broke down in tears because of the joking that surrounded the word, I realized how much I have said in my life that really could be taken offensively. Although in that context they did not intend to cause emotional distress for her, she still felt deeply about the misuse of the word. I realize now after

'Politics And Power: A Review Of The 13th Amendment'
433 Words | 2 PagesPolitics and Power play a huge role in this documentary and how it has shaped the United States approach towards the african americans. The U.S. government could of done more to help the african americans with racial inequality. They passed laws that didn’t truly help them, if anything, it worsen the chaos in their lives. The 13th Amendment was passed in 1865 which was proposed by Abraham Lincoln. African Americans believed that was the end of racism but it continued to increase by the years.
American Flag By Gregory Jones Analysis
1147 Words | 5 PagesThe idea is to take 10 girls from around israel to come together for a couple weeks and create friendships with one another and then to follow these girls to see what has happened to thee connections in 7 years. During this little film they show interviews of all the girls and this one response kinda set up the whole conflict and told us what it is all about in just a few words. “When i look at these girls as individuals, they are my friends, but when i look at them as a group and remember what they did to my father, they are the enemy” (-Ina, My So Called Enemy). This shows just how much of a hate and discriminatory centered world she was born into. These ladies all have no reason to hate the other race, yet they still do.

What Is Lonnie Franklin's Account Of Murder?
1043 Words | 5 PagesCamera angles and narration helped contribute to the realness and sense of reality of the film. The narrator basically let the people he interviewed tell the story of Lonnie Franklin and would explain the interviewed people's relations to Lonnie, the women killed, or summarize what they said in the interview after. This was a very real film, unfiltered, based in the “hood”, honest opinions and stories about situations with Lonnie and blunt about the things that went on with Lonnie and in the neighborhood, and emotional because the people that were interviewed about him didn’t hide what they felt and that really helped with our understanding of what happened and the extremity of what had taken place and that’s what I feel was the real strength of the film. The personalities of those interviewed and the emotions they showed when explaining their experiences in regard to Lonnie is something you can’t read about and understand, seeing their faces and their emotions is something real and self explanatory. The film was effective in communicating what I feel was its message but, in my opinion, it could’ve been better organized regarding the

Not only was this film was a way of seeing another turning point during the civil rights movement but also, African Americans fighting for justice. Even though I was not born during that time, I can understand how they felt because it wasn’t that easy. In today’s society racism isn’t as bad as what it was during that time. Besides we still have times were we face racism in our lives so I would say in some areas racism is still a
Rhetorical Analysis Of Tapped
964 Words | 4 PagesIt brought in great interviews, whether they were that of townspeople or official representatives, the interviews were solid and differed enough to make each one stand on it's own. 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.

Unchained Memories Summary
633 Words | 3 PagesIt baffles me to see how these men, women, and children were treated as animals. I ask the question, how could these owner treat the slaves like this and not have any regrets or fears as to what would happen to them when they die. It also made me think on the slaves who were not born slaves that came from Africa who did know the language, customs, and how they were up rooted from their lives. I always thought that slaves were separated from their families because one of the family members did wrong. This film taught me that that was not always the reason some slave owners sold members of the slave families just because they could.
