Spun Film Summary

145 Words1 Page

Overall, Spun did an amazing job portraying methamphetamine and its effects. I found that the content related to methamphetamine was very accurate. First, the movie accurately portrayed most the many methods of taking methamphetamine. According to the How Is Methamphetamine Abused (2013), methamphetamine can be taken orally, snorted, injected, and smoked. Spun showed that methamphetamine can be taken orally. An example of this is when Ross took it as a pill at the strip club. The movie also showed how methamphetamine can be injected directly into the circulatory system. An example of this is when Spider was losing his high, so he heated up solid methamphetamine in a spoon and injected it with a needle. In the real world, metal spoons are quite

    The film Miracle portrays one of the most significant moments in U.S Olympics history. The thought of a group of college hockey players beating the “lab-made” Russians was almost inconceivable at the time. Although this sporting achievement was immense, the political significance of the Americans beating the Russians was far more significant. Following World War II, Eastern and Western nations faced geopolitical tensions, and eventually, entered into the Cold War. While the U.S and Russia never fired a shot during the Cold War, the tension between the two nations was ever-present.

  • A Raisin In The Sun Film Analysis

    “A Raisin in the Sun,” written by Lorraine Hansberry in 1959, was the first play ever produced on Broadway by an African-American woman and was considered ground-breaking for it’s time. Titled after Langston Hughes’ poem “Harlem,” sometimes known as “A Dream Deferred,” the play and the subsequent film adaptations are honest examinations of race, family, poverty, discrimination, oppression and even abortion in urban Chicago after WWII. The original play was met with critical praise, including a review by Brooks Atkinson of the New York Times where he wrote, “For A Raisin in the Sun is a play about human beings who want, on the one hand, to preserve their family pride and, on the other hand, to break out of the poverty that seems to be their fate. Not having any axe to grind, Miss Hansberry has a wide range of topics to write about-some of them hilarious, some of them painful in the extreme.” The original screen adaptation released in 1961 was highly acclaimed in its own right, and was chosen in 2005 for preservation in the United States of America National Film Registry by the Library of Congress for its cultural and historical significance.

    Valkyrie is a meticulous thriller based on a large-scale conspiracy within the German army to assassinate Hitler, leading to a failed bombing attempt on July 20, 1944. At the center of the plot was Col. Claus von Stauffenberg, played here by Tom Cruise as the moving force behind the attempted coup, which led to 700 arrests and 200 executions, including von Stauffenberg's.
