I have decided to write about the foreign film called "Divines". It is about a girl named Madunia and her best friend named Maui. They are brought up in the violent and poor area in Thailand and turn to selling narcotics for a drug dealer to make money. All through out the movie it shows the experiences that they both went through from their point of view. In the end of the movie, Madunia 's best friend Maui dies in an explosion caused by a fire and this is my reaction.
Now living in the United States, there are unmaintained and terrible living conditions all across the country. While seeing how the projects was portrayed in Thailand, it truly made me think about how blessed I am to live in a safe neighborhood. In the movie they showed that

The drug dealer was ruthless when it came to punishment, such as screaming at them or slapping them across the face. I was shocked, but yet, understanding because these girls did what they had to do for money and nothing seem like that anything was going to stop them.
To get a better understanding of what they were thinking, I put myself in a visual situation. I imagined myself doing everything they had to do which included robbery, selling and participating with drugs, and having no emotions for anyone around me. Now I could not even get past five minutes of thinking, let alone living that way. While watching this movie, I thought this is a terrible situation to be in and no one should have to live in these conditions and do this type of work just to survive.
I also thought that I will do everything in my power to have opportunities and chances to make something out of my life so I will never have to be in this type of situation. These two girls had no other option, and they weren 't given nearly any opportunities as such might be giving here in the U.S. They didn 't back down from any challenges and I respected that a great

Some of these emotions were, anger, concern, distressed, and happiness. Yes, even though this movie had a powerful emotional presence to it, there were a select few of positive scenes in this movie. Such as, Madunia and her friend Maui dancing to music even though their was pollution and destruction that surrounded them. Another situation is when they earned money from selling the drugs they would go on shopping sprees and buy gifts for everyone. This made me feel happy and also made me feel relieved that even through all the horror they still have a positive attitude about life.
In the second the last scene of the movie Madunia had stolen money from the drug dealer and appeared to be leaving Thailand. Just before she was about to leave, she called her friend Maui and told her she loved her and said she would be back. The drug dealer called Madunia and told her that Maui was captured and would be killed if she did not return with her money.
This was a scene so intense that it was as you were in the movie your self. As if you were Medunias when she saw her friend was captured and realizing she had little to no time. This truly was a amazing scene that would make any individual sweat
...ily instead of able bodied Americans (who they would have to pay 5 to 10 dollars per hour) are struggling in the job market. From this it can be concluded that a specific message that both films possess is that change is good and it is an essential element towards development. That is the reason why documentary film maker Michael Moore emphasizes in his documentary those American companies are required to hire Americans. In the film “Pleasantville” a great example of the above theme occurs when Jennifer points out two teenagers as proof that the citizens of Pleasantville have an abundance of potential, according to her they simply do not know any better. Two teenagers can be seen having a conversation, they seem to be engaged in a conversation but it is simply not going anywhere, but as they both begin to get physically closer the girl’s bubble gum develops colour.
A hit was put out on Taylor and Zavala by leaders of the Mexican drug cartel because they were becoming a nuisance. This hit was carried out by the same Latino gang members who had previously done a drive-by shooting of a rival gang. The officers were enticed towards their imminent deaths with a car chase which was set up by the Latino gang members. This chase led them towards an apartment complex which was rigged with many gang members and artillery to ensure that neither Taylor nor Zavala would survive. The two were ambushed but decided that gunning their way out was their best option. When the officers made it to an alley they were met by another Latino gang member who fired at Taylor and Zavala, hitting Taylor once in the chest before being shot and killed by Zavala. Zavala went to aid Taylor who appeared to be quickly dying and called out for help. Before police back up arrived the original Latino gang members found Zavala in the...
This demonstrates to us that no matter how much your legal or moral laws are violated, what matters is how you as an individual react to the situation, justly or unjustly. This movie is centered around the notion that if you are a person of ethnic background, that alone is reason for others to forsake your rights, although in the long run justice will prevail

The seriousness is enough to make you lose faith in humanity for a second, but catch your attention and evoke deep and reflection thought into the truth that goes on in the part of society that is unknowingly ignored by the population because it gets constantly overshadowed by media and the government. More importantly, the film reminds us that progress will move forward only when those at the top of authority realize they need to relate with and answer to the people who want change, answer to the voices of people those broken, traumatized, who truly need
Many live attempting to decipher the riddle of life. What is life? What is the purpose? What makes? Even though we only seek happiness why can’t we ever seem to achieve it? When we do reach happiness why can’t we seem to grasp it and hold it for more than the few short hours that pass like seconds? The question we must answer first is “What makes happiness, true?”

The Bad and The Beautiful (1952) and State and Main (2000) are films within films that unmask Hollywood Cinema as a dream factory and expose the grotesque, veneer hidden by the luxury of stars. The Bad and the Beautiful, directed by Vincent Minnelli, is a black and white film narrated in flashback form. The films theatrical nature requires more close-ups than wide-screen shots to capture the character’s psychological turmoil. For example, Fred and Jonathan’s car ride is captured in a close-up to signify their friendship; however their relationship deteriorates after Jonathan’s deceit. While the camera zooms out, Fred stands alone motionless. Here, Fred is captured from a distance at eye-level and he becomes ostracized by the film industry and
“The Help” is a white mock feel good movie, which seems to feature amnesia of racial conflicts in the South as its primary theme (Stockett, 2009). Author Natasha McLaughlin suggests that ‘The Help’ focuses upon the home and the relationship between African-American domestics and the laws of Jim Crow’s neglected ‘other half’: Jane Crow (McLaughlin, 2014). The American Civil Rights Movement mainly accommodates the public with a view concentrated upon a male dominant perspective but appreciations to Stockett and her moving interpretation of the relationship of Caucasian housewives and their African-American maids the public gets a rare white-washed version of events dealing with the civil rights movement going on within the interior of the households
