Dominant Impression In The Funk Brothers

203 Words1 Page

Throughout this film, description is used to retell their stories. Being the audience, we did not experience life as they did nor the stories they tell to us. With that being said, it is difficult to understand their feelings or past. Utilizing description is the best way to educate the audience on what they are saying. Dominant Impression gave an even more in depth description on their stories about The Funk Brothers. With this being a narrated film we were able to not only hear their mood from their voices but also see their reactions to see their mood towards the context. This effectively adds more detail, that would otherwise be unseen, which is needed. Going into description about ethical issues in this film creates almost a climax. Although

    Moreover, Wideman ends up having difficulties trying to represents what his brother is “saying” because he ends up writing his own personal opinions and thoughts. Although it was something he was trying to avoid considering it would be a manipulation of the story. Throughout the essay, the reader can observe how Wideman analyzes his past experiences with Robby, and how their relationship has transformed over the years. For instance, the author conveys the bonds he had with his brother in order to express that after all this years they still shared “common history, values, and style developed within the tall stockade of family, and that was enough to make us care about each other” (Wideman 674). In addition, he tells the reader how he wanted Robby to know that he was thinking about “Our shared roots and destiny” (Wideman 674) and how that thinking was getting him closer to Robby.

    It 's not always about how things look on the outside, but more about your inner self. More about getting those individuals to believe in themselves.The film helped me to see the value of building up self esteem. I know in math some of the kids that say they don’t like math just had a bad experience with it. Usually I’ll try and give them something simple just to start to let them feel a sense of accomplishment. Then I usually will continue to build from there. This film never gets old. It’s still very relatable today and a young audience would be able to see themselves in any of those characters. This film reminded me that kids are coming to class with many different experiences, emotional phases, as well as insecurities. I must remain cognizant of them along with continuing to be that positive role model they need. I would recommend this film to anyone that has kids they would like to keep encouraged as well the ones they believe are

  • Analysis Of Joe Turner's Come And Gone And Dutchman

    1011 Words  | 3 Pages

    Two plays, twenty years apart helped to depict two very important periods in African American history. Joe Turner’s Come and Gone, premiered in 1984, and Dutchman premiered in 1964 help to show the development of the black mind set in certain periods of history. Dutchman, written during the black arts period (1960-1975); helped to show how African Americans constantly fought to escape the classic stereotypes that they were associated with. Joe Turner’s Come and Gone, written for the Contemporary Period, told the story of how first generation black people after the signing of the emancipation proclamation, fought to find their identity, not only as black people but also religiously.

    The two brothers have both chosen different paths, one embracing his new society, becoming a part of the establishment, the other rejecting it and working for the oppressed immigrant community of the gang. These communities are often ignored in society and face a great deal of discrimination. The film does not attempt to sugar-coat their criminality or excuse their actions. It simply offers us a realistic look at their circumstances and asks the audience to judge for themselves what is right and wrong in

    The jazz band I observed played a series of six different songs. Although all the songs were categorized as jazz, each song had its own special style and sound to it. The band consisted of three different players. Paul Meyers, the guitarist and composer, Andy Eulau, the bassist, and Dave Rataczak, on drums. The songs performed were entitled “Love for Sale” by Cole Porter, “Once I Loved” by Antonio Carlos Jobim, “Stars” by Paul Meyers, “Blues for Mel” also by Paul Meyers, “Last Night When We Were Young” by Harold Arlen, and “Samba Novo” by Luis Eca.

  • Plot Summary of Remember the Titans

    While watching this movie I noticed many social psychology concepts throughout. I have never paid attention to these concepts when watching the movie before, so it was interesting to pay close attention and see how many came up. The movie displays foot-in-the door technique, social facilitation, deindividuation, ingroup, scapegoat theory, among many others. Being a very real and honest movie, it is easy to understand why so many social psychology concepts are present. Our textbook defines social psychology to be, “the scientific field that seeks to understand the nature and causes of individual behavior, feelings and thought in social situation” (Baron & Branscombe, 2012). There are many strong characters within the movie, and they display these concepts.

    2.     Of all the characters in the book, the only one with somewhat of a negative connotation is the character of the general manager (of the Company (the boating company)). He is the chief agent of the Company in its African territory, who runs the Central Station. He owes his success to a robust constitution that allows him to outlive all of his competitors. He is average in appearance and unremarkable in abilities, but he possesses a strange capacity to produce uneasiness in those around him, keeping everyone sufficiently alert (against their will) for him to exert his control over them. An example of the manager producing uneasiness in others is when he learns of Kurtz’s sick condition, he actually gets happy, because now he can have more control of the group as an individual. Kurtz was the unofficial leader, and soon, the manager could “move in.”

    Throughout the entire film, there are lessons that are being taught. Whether is the central theme of not judging someone by their skin color but by their character or showing the essence of what the meaning of family really is. Through the setting, acting, and relationships shown it all comes together to make the perfect film. I recommend this film be seen by everyone at least once in their lifespan, because the lessons that are depicted in there are valuable. It is the perfect movie to go see with your family and makes you grateful and thankful for everyone that you have in your life. The film brings joy, happiness, tears, laughter and much more. I can truly say that the movie is worth purchasing and viewing.

  • Beatles Influence

    The Beatles nearly invented the pop music genre. They not only influenced many other artists but were an extremely diverse group of singers and songwriters. Regardless of technical ability, the Beatles have accomplished what no band had ever done, and have yet to be bested by any subsequent artists. There is no other candidate for the best band, because nobody can ever match the musical level of the Beatles. Personally, I feel that the Beatles is the greatest band ever because they have influenced millions of people, their music was a huge success, they are well known around the world, and their songwriting skills were legendary.

The emotions running high in the movie makes it powerful and moving and the death of Derek’s younger brother Danny Vinyard is shocking enough to bring tears to many viewers’ eyes. The movie ends with Danny’s voice reading his paper out loud and he ends his paper with a very important quote by Abraham Lincoln. This quote shows how Danny’s, as well as Derek’s, mindset changed from the beginning of the movie to the end. When hearing this quote it leaves the viewers in awe that Danny finally started to look past his hateful ideologies but ends up dead because of the lifestyle him and his brother decided to lead. “We are not enemies, but friends. We must not be enemies. Though passion may have strained we must not break our bonds of affection. The mystic chords of memory will swell when again touched, as surely they will be by the better angels of our nature”.

    ...rience. Viewers who grew up in an inner-city environment and attended schools during the 60's and 70's, were accustomed to the racial rioting, drinking and drugging, peer pressure against conformity, and traumatic home lives these movies underscore. Although I had opportunities other than being a part of this self-indulgent culture, I just did not know it at the time and no one ever went the extra mile to let me know. It was always easier to label students who fail to comport as "problem students" or "juvenile delinquents." It wasn't until I got older that I discovered the choices that LouAnne in "Dangerous Minds" kept talking about. In retrospect, these films all have quite a lot in common. They filled me with renewed hopes and dreams and made me revisit my school years. Juvenile delinquency? Generation gap? I wonder if those terms are falsely constructed.
