127 Words1 Page

Good morning,

Trust you had a wonderful weekend, hope the screenwriting and projects are coming along. I forgot to mention the film screening Thursday, February 16 on campus. The film, 13th, is a documentary by director Ava DuVernay and makes an impactful connection between the 13th Amendment of the Constitution and the increasingly high rate of mass incarceration in the US, criminalization of African Americans, and privatization of prisons. If you are on campus and can come out the screening begins at 4p and a student-led discussion will follow at 5:45-7p. As directors and writers, we want to study all formats of film narratives, and this will not only take a closer look at social justices but will also help jumpstart our discussion on

    The films that I chose to explore in this paper are Do the Right Thing by Spike Lee and Lone Star by John Sayles. Each film offers examples of counter narratives in my opinion. There are many examples of characters vying for both power and respect from characters of the other race. Spike Lee, however, has an undeniably unique style that offers a counter on many levels.

    Uplifting minority voices through film and text is critical to shed light on social injustices while simultaneously entertaining, exposing audiences to historical realities, and provoking them to understand the struggles of others. An example of this includes Theodore Melfi’s film ‘Hidden Figures,’ which take place during the 1960s, historically known as the era of the ‘Space Race,’ while also tackling the history of Jim Crow Laws, and the impending social reform of the ‘Civil Rights Movement’. ‘The Great Gatsby’ by F. Scott Fitzgerald, is written and set during the ‘Roaring Twenties’; an era of prohibition, debauchery, and the ‘Jazz-Age.’ The prose novel, narrated by Nick Carraway, follows Jay Gatsby’s pursuit to rekindle a fleeting romance

  • A League Of Their Own Film Analysis

    995 Words  | 4 Pages

    The film I am analyzing, A League of Their Own, would be categorized as a narrative film about the growth of women’s baseball teams during World War II. It follows the dramatized story of Dottie Hinson’s time in her baseball league and their struggles to make women’s baseball be taken seriously; however, the film focuses more on Dottie’s personal goals and relationships. With the added personal challenge of Dottie’s increasing rivalry with her sibling, Kit, as well as the uncaring attitude of their manager, Jimmy Dugan, Dottie’s tale is filled with tension and emotion that is shaped to draw the audience in. To showcase the drama of the film and to help the audience become attached to the stories of the characters, the movie uses flashbacks, comedy, and interpersonal drama to manufacture the story of our main character, Dottie, more interesting and engaging to the audience. As is easily evident simply by the summary of the movie, A League of Their Own is a nonfiction, narrative film made for entertainment and drama, and uses the time period as the circumstances of the story relevant to the audience.

    The making of movies, or the concept of it, has been around since the beginning of the 18th century. The lens of the camera has captured some of the most beautiful things, but also the most prejudice. Stereotypes of races, ethnicities, and gender have always been around but were widely considered acceptable in the films of that era. Almost as long as there have been people filming, there have been people fighting for equality to be presented on the big screen. Danez Smith is one of these modern fighters in his free verse poem “Dinosaurs in the Hood.”
