(He isn’t bad to stare at for 101 minutes) I do think Ryan was a smart person to cast in this movie because he has made so many great movies and has gained a “fan club” that watches any movie he is in. Sadly political movies aren’t attractive to most people as compared to Marvel movies and Fifty Shades of Grey, because most people don’t care for politics or think it will be boring. Having someone like Ryan in a political movie can gain a new/different audience that wouldn’t have watched the movie without his appearance. I think that when the producers of political films begin to cast individuals it is important to have a cast that people want to see. This also is a great way to get political messages out to the people by having major stars casted in their
The Crazies to Say the Least “David leans on the sideline fence, sipping his coffee, watching the game. No one has yet noticed the dark figure walking out of the shadowy woods beyond the outfield. Weaving like a drunkard, he walks right onto the playing field, oblivious to the game. He is carrying a shotgun. Heads turn, mouths falling open in the bleachers and dugouts, everybody staring in collective disbelief.
Introduction 13th is Avan DuVernary’s documentary produced in 2016 which explores intersection of justice, race and mass incarceration in the United States. It is named after slavery was prohibited and the slaves freed through the thirteenth Amendment of the United States constitution which was resolved by the house of the representative and the senate in the Congress assembly. The amendment stated that, “neither slavery nor involuntary servitude, except as a punishment for a crime whereof the party shall have been duly convicted, shall exist within the United States, or any place subject to their jurisdictions.” The video starts by showing an African man imprisoned and others being arrested for imprisonment by the police. It shows how racism
Mostly being a result of the community, politics emphasizes the voices and interests of a body. In March this can be found in two portions of the book. When examining the Pike County community, it is seen that there isn’t an urge for change; for the most part, the people are set in their traditional undisrupted setting. Because of this, that strong voice to call for accommodation isn’t presence, resulting in the lack of political support. On the other hand when examining the SNCC community and others involved in the non-violence movement against segregation, it is seen that the voice exuded from those people build a political stand point.

The film 13th directed by Ava DuVernay targets an intended audience of the Media and the three branches of the United States government with an emphasis that mass incarceration is an extension of slavery. It is intended to inform viewers about the criminalization of African Americans and the United States prison boom. 13th uses rhetorical devices in its claim to persuade the viewers by using exemplum in the opening seconds of the film. President Barack Obama presents statistics, saying “the United States is home to 5% of the world’s population but is home to 25% of the world’s prisoners.” Also the film uses a hyperbole in talking about the movie Birth of a Nation produced in 1915 which portrays a black man as a violent savage who will kill white women.
In 2015, HBO aired a six-part, true crime documentary series titled, The Jinx: The Life and Deaths of Robert Durst. Writer and director, Andrew Jarecki, examined the details of three crimes associated with Durst, including the disappearance of Durst’s first wife Kathy, the murder of his dear friend, Susan, and the murder and dismemberment of his neighbor, Morris Black. While the mini-series was met with acclaim, many – including myself – criticize The Jinx for its storytelling approach. The series seemingly blurs the lines of storytelling – for entertainment purposes – and journalism; raising many questions regarding ethics. Initially, Durst approached Jarecki regarding an interview after he saw All Good Things, a film Jarecki had released
In the wildly popular Mexican film, Los olvidados (1950), Spanish director Luis Buñuel exposes the harsh realities of life in Mexico during the 1950’s. Luis Buñuel’s work on Los olvidados portrays a societal loss for all hope due to crime and violence as an infinitely vicious cycle, coupled with addressing the lack of reform for dilapidated living conditions throughout Mexico. In Los olvidados, Buñuel follows Pedro (Alfonso Mejía) a neglected bastard, and El Jaibo (Roberto Cobo) the leader of a gang of homeless children loitering in vacant lots. For Pedro, and the rest of the cast, a series of unfortunate outcomes have been strung together though common ignorance and a lack of self-control.

The documentary "Hollywoodism: Jews, Movies, and the American Dream", explains how a number of Jewish immigrants in the beginning of nineteen century built the most known six movie studios in Hollywood. Despite America 's open-door immigration policy for all immigrants, Jews, perhaps more than other minorities, encountered a new form a discrimination. The documakers say that they were viewed as outsiders and were blacklisted from working in certain fields such as finance, banking, and other higher education careers. Hence, they formed their own communities and their own version of real America, practicing their own religion, opening their own businesses in the garment industry and movie production. Because of the intense discrimination against Jews, especially those involved in the movie-theater industry in New York and Chicago, many of them moved to Hollywood, California building their own studios and working as screenwriters, directors, and producers.
