Ashanti Sosa December 7, 2014 Film Review #2 Anthropology Pretty Baby Pretty Baby takes place in the red light district as it is called in New Orleans. This whore house which is a fancy one is run by a drug addicted by the name of Madame Nell. There is one prostitute by the name of Hattie who gives birth to a baby boy and has a 12 year old daughter name Violet who both live in the house that Hattie works at and lives in. The main character of the movie is Violet a 12 year old, during the film Violet gets sold off to a man who plans on deflowering her. Violet is your average 12 year old who enjoys listening to ragtime music as they called it back then and playing with the horses and riding them. Violets mother has intentions of …show more content…

Psychosexual development is another term I would use because I feel as though Violet grow up to fast with sexual behavior, the fact that she is living in a whore house shows that she would have to grow up real fast. The fact that movie revolves around a Brothel house has to do with the term enthocentlrism because having Violet being raised around this lifestyle is showing her that this life is the correct way of living and I don’t feel that a 12 year girl at that should feel that prostitution is right. Another term that is used is Fetish here we have a bunch of men coming to this house to get sexual pleasure, and some of these men are daily customers which shows a sign of obsessive attraction to these ladies. Last but not least Lascivious is a term that was used with the connection between Violet and Belloqc, you see Violet indicated that she had some sexy interest in Belloqc by saying you can take care of me and saying she loved him and that she would be real good to him. Violet let it be known that she wanted a relationship with this older man, and she didn 't see anything wrong with

    Throughout the movie, Parenthood, the three main parenting styles were displayed throughout as, the dictator, permissive, and democratic. The dictator form of parenting, also known as the authoritarian parent sets strict rules and guidelines and will not changing them or give any leeway. Children that have authoritarian parents usually have low self-esteem and trouble to do things on their own when they get older. Then there is the permissive parent, who rather than setting rules and guidelines, opts out of this, their discipline is not seen and if they do set rules, they don 't punish when the rules are broken.

They happen so often that we aren’t even aware that they occur. These atrocities appear in books, films, the news, and other worldwide forms of media.

    The movie “Sleepers” is about four young boys between the ages 13-14 who commit a serious crime by accident. In this paper I will argue why the boys should be dealt with under the Restorative Justice System, and not under the Retributive Justice System. I will also talk about how they would be dealt with under the Youth Criminal Justice Act (YCJA). The four boys are clearly very upset with themselves because they let what they thought would be just a fun prank turn into a violent crime.

    Throughout life we are told to express our individuality and swim against the stream of the general population to put emphasis on the characteristics that make us, in short, individuals. Cherishing what makes an individual special and different is what establishes roots in creativity and self expression, however there is a forced false sense of comradery in today’s society that takes the form of involvement with the masses; peer pressure forces many people to fall into the mold of an average character. The Academy award winning film, “The Incredibles” displays the themes of expressing one’s true self and special qualities, and in contrast repression by society to fit a basic mold. These themes are elaborated on through the development of the main characters and expressed further through the supporting roles and their dialogue and endeavors.

    Gender roles and stereotypes are commonly known throughout society and continuously demonstrated as film as well. Through the work of director Judd Apatow, we can compare these stereotypes to the portrayal of gender in Knocked Up and identify how this film pokes fun at gender stereotypes. As we watch this film and follow the story line of Allison and Ben, we can see how Apatow reversed the gender roles of the two lead characters, Ben and Allison and how this effected the films meaning. In romantic, geek centered comedies such as “Knocked Up”, the roles of men and women are often reversed.
