Oh Johnny, Johnny, Johnny. Johnny was my best friend, a part of my family. I knew that I could always count on him whenever I needed him. Even though his family was violent with him, he was still there for me. He can also always count on me to be there for him. Other people don't know him as well as I do, I remember all the great times we had looking up at the stars at 1 a.m. in a lot. *pause* We also went to the movies. This one time there were these two pretty good looking girls there, and they were Socs too. They were sweet, nice and funny, they were even nice to us Greasers. Anyway, Johnny wouldn't hurt anyone unless he absolutely had to, Johnny didn't like to fight that often. The only time he would fight would be in the rumble, or if

Their meeting with him gives an insight into Grady?s character. Rawlins is against letting Blevins come along with them, but because of John?s kind nature he ends up allowing Blevins to come.

The movie Guilty by Suspicion was not your average “action-packed” Matrix. In this movie, David Merrill (played by Robert DeNiro,) is a successful director. Everything seems to be fine, until his past starts catching up with him. Now he’s wanted for possibly being a Communist. As boring as this would sound to the average teenager, I actually liked it. Take for example the scene where he first sees his son. He gave him a brand new toy car and you could clearly see he loved his little boy. I liked this scene because it showed Mr. Merrill was a considerate and caring person…not a cold, raging beast. In another part of the movie when his friend Red had a sort of “breakdown” in her trailer, David came through for he...

It takes courage to make a chance and you have to stand up for what you believe in. At least, that is the message I got after I watched this amazing movie. 12 Angry Men, a debut film of its producer, is an American drama film that was released on 1957. This movie which was directed by Sidney Lumet is consists of twelve men having a conversation in a room for most of the time. The running time of the film is ninety six minutes. But even only with conversation, the film can create an intense situation. And in my opinion, this film is totally going in my list as one of the best films I have ever seen.
